America is not concerned with what 'everyone wants' , no community can function by giving everyone what they 'want'

priceless things are not for sale, things for sale are not priceless.

Then your voice is irrelevant!
As America is not concerned with what you want

Yes and no. when it comes to TANGIBLE things, america does not give everyone what they 'want'.

when it comes to 'voices', the collective 'voice' is what runs AMERICA, it is what manifests as a 'vote'

but no individuals voice ALONE matters more than the next.

So majority rules! Get behind the majority and enjoy the life that others have worked and died to give you!
If this kneeling business goes on any longer trump will put it on his things to do list along with North Korea and Iran

the majority of who, is the question

I'm 'behind' what I feel is right, regardless of majority culture or perceived majority opinion...

and thankfully, what you are usually behind is in the minority.

as a member of an actual minority, it doesnt bother me to be a part of it either, particularly if the 'majority' has lost its humanity and sense of balance.

Funny how the minority think they are always right and know best.
It is bowing down to minority groups that has let them terrorise the world!

human nature is funny like that. People in the minority AND majority usually are speaking from a perspective that they are 'right'

the majority groups and minority groups have also BOTH done their share of terrorizing throughout human history

perception dear, perception

of course. our perception is our reality ,,, dear

presidents come and go, majority/minorities change..
the express responsibility of the federal government is
to ensure that those in the minority are protected FROM
majority rule..

if the majority decides to govern by it's whims,
then this country could easily slip back into the days of
slavery, no rights for women and no equal protection under the
law..

if it was not for the constitution which separates the powers
that be, into three distinct branches, you could be standing
before a sharia court of law if the majority is allowed to rule
without constraint...

America is governed by rule of law with a Supreme Court
appointed to interpret those laws and individual rights
ingrained in the constitution...

think about this, if was only majority rule...HRC would be the
president of the united states and not DJT...are you sure you
still want majority rule ?

Yes! Oh, yes....Let's not even think that.

We need both sides to keep us in the center lane.
I think we swerved a little to far to one side
in the last few years.
Correction is good.

Wow just Wow

I have a question to ask. Are there ever times where job mandates are actually a violation of civil rights , and therefore subject to revision, which I think one of the posters here was suggesting?

I asked because I heard an American Lawyer say that displays of silent protests are part and parcel of an American's basic civic rights , and I wasn't sure under what contest that this is true

Good question Peggy,maybe more so in the military to a degree, here that is, many other jobs have rules that you accept when you take the job on or sign a contract.
I'm sure someone will elaborate on this for you.

Sounds like the lawyer is right but what and where one is protesting might be a problem. If one wants to protest something while at work
that would violate the boss's right to make money. He would then enact
his civil right to fire you.

yes, while at work, especially for elected or appointed government
officials like Kim Davis who violated the rights of gay couples
by denying them legal marriage licenses claiming it violated
her religious beliefs..she lost the civil suit against her, lost
her appeal plea, and supreme court appeal and ultimately spent
5 days in jail for contempt of court...

i wonder whatever became of her ?

I think she was stoned to death....

lol...perhaps she was..

in the case of the nfl players, i don't think the employer
has any right to make them stand just as they have no right
to make them stand on their heads either...the players are not
breaking the law or violating anyone else's right to stand...
they shouldn't be forced to conform to anyone else's idea of what
is proper or not...let them stay in the locker room...
that would end the controversy..
