Ok. That was interesting.
Anyway back to the topic at hand I will be following this case closely.
If dicks doesn't want the sale there's a hundred other locally owned shops that will be happy to make a living off these customers. Shit I'd prefer to see more local shops get the sales anyhow.


Frivolous lawsuits aside, I'm actually surprised that politically motivated shareholders didn't bring the suit first with any dip in share price.


Certain types of discrimination lawsuits are now "frivolous"! :lol:

If only I had a way to express how absolutely absurd I find your assertion that age discrimination lawsuits are "frivolous"....


On that end they completely are, but clearly you've added the words frivolous and absurd to the group of which you don't understand here.


Seeking relief from a court after a public accommodation has discriminated against you in a jurisdiction where that particular brand of discrimination is proscribed by law is in no way frivolous.

Please explain how this lawsuit is frivolous in your view so actual rational humans can laugh at you.


I have neither the time nor inclination to engage in futilites with a guy like you.

It remains lost on you that I was responding to a poster who I respect as a principled person and not wasting with a dull, one note goof like you.

It's fair to view a lawsuit as frivolous even if there is a decent chance the person who is suing does win. You only have to look at something like the "subway foot long" lawsuit to understand that.

Ooh-ooh, is this another "I'm done" post after you get called on your bullshit? Is calling my stance racist not far away?

And what do you mean, "a guy like" me?

No it isn't. If there was harm caused to a person, whether by fraud or discrimination, they are entitled to seek relief. There has been unquestionable harm here, as there was on a large scale by the actions of Subway. Seeking relief in those cases cannot be, by definition, frivolous.

Frivolous is a subjective measure. It means something has little weight or importance. There are numerous lawsuits that are won that have little weight or importance.

Righting wrongs of conduct which runs afoul of anti-discrimination laws is not of "little weight or importance".

MANY want to downplay this because of the parties involved (young men, particularly young white men) and the slant of the politics involved (young conservative white men).

That's not gonna fly. Is discrimination a non-issue, to you?

On this issue? I think it should be a law you have to be 21 to buy a gun so no a company doing this isn't an issue of significance to me.

Except it's not, that's only a narrowly defined federal law. The state in question also has a law proscribing discrimination based on age. Violating anti-discrimination laws is either an "issue of significance" or it is not. But thank you for saying you are downplaying the seriousness of the issue because of the politics involved. Now we can move on.

You think a lawsuit aiming to end discriminatory practices by a public accommodation is "frivolous" [because of the parties involved and your personal politics].

That's really all that needs to be said about you. :lol:

You can keep responding like that all you want, but the way you are going after people demanding explanations now is just showing what a pathetic asshole you are. Don't demand things of people that you spend most of your life avoiding doing yourself.

Seems to be a common alt-right tactic to wear the other person out by nitpicking incessantly.

Pretty much. He spends hours just trying to wear you out and never answering stuff he doesn't want to hoping you give up. It's pretty much page 1 of the handbook.

:roll: A big F-you to you, too. You try to be cunning in your accusations about me, but like all the others there's not a smidgen of evidence to back up your claims. Piss off with your sniveling concern trolling.

I think Dicks will lose.

I don't think it is significant given that I was told this was a meaningless PR stunt anyways.

I'm guessing but probably because shotguns and rifles tend to be for hunting and most hunters, like me, were taught at a very early age, and given our long traditions involving hunting, I suspect certain allowances have been made to accommodate that.

Why is JLN supporting state law over federal law pertaining to discrimination laws, but then he is supporting federal law over state law pertaining to marijuana.

It doesn't seem to me like it should work like that.

I think we should discriminate against hypocrites.

I mean this in all seriousness but that is absolute bullshit. We give 18 to 21 year old guns and tell them to defend and die for America but we don't trust them to have a handgun when they aren't fighting for us?

The federeal law in question only deals with handgun sales, not long guns. In the absence of federal law, the state law governs, for the most part. No evidence of hypocrisy here, just like your other claims about me.

I hear you. Loud and clear.
I'm not against 21 being the rule for any firearm ownership.
If 16 or 18 or 20 year old Johnny wants to go hunting with dad and uncle Jericho he should be allowed to with a shotgun owned by dad or uncle Jericho.
If you want to argue that 21 year olds should not be allowed to enter the military you'd have a hard time arguing with me because I agree.

I'm not discussing that law. Please follow. I'm talking about there being no federal law regarding age discrimination for an 18 year old.
