"its the way the world turns"? oh well i guess you're right, lets just let everyone get on with it then.

there shouldn't be a need for it to go that far, it shouldn't exist in the first place.

I really hate hearing that argument. It's dull and doesn't show enough understanding of the idea that "life isn't fair and you have to deal with it."

"life isn't fair and you have to deal with it."
that is a lame argument, people shouldn't have to deal with crap like this, the powers that be should wake up and do away with these laws, rather than just say "yeah its pretty crap but you can go through all the stress and finance of taking someone to court and then everything will be fine, probably"

Generally a boss with any brains will offer a legally neutral official reason for any firing. In most cases its almost impossible to prove real reasons. You could be fired because the boss dislikes you or anything about you. I've seen newsletters suggesting reasons and methods. Don't forget being fired for smoking legally obtained cigarettes either.

This is A TRAP!!!!

That's a naieve argument. The very definition of one.

Not everyone on earth is an "enlightened individual," though I really hate that turn of phrase. The powers that be can't just force people to adhere to laws that they lay down, that'd be fascistic.

I had visions of gay people being fired out of cannons.
