Or gay? Or bald? How are you going to draw the line to allow some hypotheticals, but no others? Why do we have to respect her "right" to force an employer to change his estabishment to accomodate one hypothetical, yet not another?
Secondly since you seem to think you have an airtight case making smokers leave their own property for two minutes to smoke, how about if I make the case that you have to spend 2 minutes cleaning your bathroom every 20 minutes? That is not to big an inconvenience, is it? Well, is it? Don't change the topic, answer the question! How hard is it for you to spend just two minutes cleaning your bathroom? Don't make a straw man! Answer the question!

Thorfinn, your posts are starting to border on baiting- by which I mean dragging up outrageous options to toss at your debating opponents for effect. Whether or not you intend to fuel flames it may incite them. Particularly at this late point in the whole discussion, when many people have voiced their opinions and may be frustrated at the opposite side of the debate.
So far this discussion has been pretty good, so let's not derail it now- if you've all had your say and feel you've started going in circles or rehashing things so much you need to get personal or throw out incendiary comments, let the thread fall.
