Quote by: Osborn F Enready  For example, this specific thread is about obesity. Obesity could be replaced by smokers, or age and still be the same form of descrimination by employers.
All people have a necessity to earn money, even sick people, so should employers be allowed to discriminate on health issues whether based on risk factors or age?
Won't we then end up with a small very healthy, very young working class and a large elder and sickly class of non-workers, due to their high cost of insurability? |
It's the employer's private company, their private property, why shouldn't he or she get to discriminate on any grounds he or she chooses. Isn't this the kind of freedom you champion? It's not any particular employer's problem that you have to work. Their problem is to exercise their personal freedom to serve their own needs. They don't have any responsibility for you do they?
It's your personal responsibility, is it not?, that you be in the proper physical shape and be healthy enough to work.
What right do you have to deprive an employer from conducting his or her business--enjoying their private property, in fact--in any way they choose, as long as they don't infringe on your rights? You don't have a right to a job, or even a meal for that matter.
