    Question Store chain requiring ID - racist?



    A big item for women across the country won't be very easy to buy in one national drugstore chain.

    The CVS Drugstore chain now requires an ID to purchase nail polish remover.

    They will only sell the product to people over the age of 18.

    No, only the rights that Desh wishes others didn't have should be restricted.

    voting isn't a constitutional right.

    First off...how could it be racist? It doesn't say that only minorities show their ID...or only white people show their ID.

    As far as the Constitution and "rights"? How many rights are actually defined in the Constitution? Many of them say "shall not be abridged" and so on....but how many are actually defined?

    I mean....if we want to go minimalistic on voting rights...then why can't we go minimalistic on gun rights, or right to be free from illegal search and seizure?

    Do you know that the "right to vote" is mentioned five times in the Constitution? More than any other "right"?

    I love the way some of you get all Constitutional on issues that you are passionate about...but are more than willing to throw away that same ideology on others.

    Why don't you apply that same question to voter ID laws?

    Because it's irrelevant to the nail polish remover.

    I'm cool with voter ID....on two conditions....it's free....and easily accessible. I'm talking real easy....like for poor people to go down to the welfare office, get their pictures taken and slapped on an ID card for voting purposes.....or their Public Library.

    What I don't agree with, and I'll fight it tooth and nail if it "conveniently" becomes general practice...is what Wisconsin pulled(or tried to...I don't know if it actually went into effect or not) is to make a voter ID law tied to the DMV and then shut down the DMV offices in poor, minority filled areas...making it more difficult for those people with little means to go get one.

    That's gerrymandering....Here in PA, one of our state congressmen was quoted as saying that "this law has just allowed Romney to win Pennsylvania".

    Are you willing to apply the same conditions to ID required to buy firearms?
