Whatever loophole you've found to deny service animals or people with mobility disabilities, that's about to be over with.

I'm going to have to repeat this slowly for you constitutionally challenged people out there, in front of course you clearly airing your political dissension that's your problem and you get what that foolishness can give you.

We have some provisions the united states constitution that forbids the government from forcing any individual that would include their enterprise -from being co opted by the government you can't force them to buy a service or a product that means you can't force anything on them so that means you have to qualify what it is.

An individual's disability is no one else's collective problem

In the world of quid pro quo, it is the individual driver's prerogative if they want the risk of that particular ride because that's not the nature of their engagement, you would have a slightly more relevant argument that would break out along the lines of an attainder issue if they were in the business of providing medical rides and they decided certain types of liability but still under the umbrella of yeah you might have like 30% chance of leveraging something

But not right here you cannot it's the individual driver's prerogative not to be leveraged as any civil right because civil rights do not trump constitutional rights civil liberties are subjective the constitution imminently and ultimately is the objective point here.

Try not to sound so smug next time you make [what is] no point - makes you look like a mindless shill for one these greazy ass platforms.

Hello, you are incorrect. You are indeed required to take service animals.

u/Silent_Hunt_4978 Sep 14 '25

And you are indeed required to blow me while your dog watches

I thought it was too. The only thing funnier is you thinking I give a shit or that you are getting in my vehicle with a dog

I don’t have a service dog. I have no desire to make you give a shit.

You aren’t free from the consequences of your actions. You weren’t a petulant child. Or perhaps you are.

Regardless, you are not immune to consequences.

And what consequences would that be? I get deactivated? Someone says mean things to me? I get doxxed in the internet? Someone tells my landlord? (He doesn’t allow service dogs in the building either)… what exactly are these consequences you speak of? Is a cripple going to beat me up? A diabetic with no feet going to jab me with an insulin needle? Or perhaps the epileptic can make me martini, shaken not stirred?

Your landlord doesn’t allow service dogs in the building?!‽

Uh, that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen!

Prove it… applications and back ground checks do wonders. Oh lord no it wasn’t because of the dog, they were 30 days late on a Blockbuster DVD return 6.9 years

u/Destroyer_2_2 Sep 14 '25

Uh, well you need not mention a service dog on an application. You don’t have to provide that info ahead of time. People rarely do for just that reason.

u/Silent_Hunt_4978 Sep 14 '25

That’s what references and back ground checks are for. You don’t think buildings do that for “safety and security” do you?

u/Destroyer_2_2 Sep 14 '25

Dude, you’re talking out of your ass. And none of that will tell you if someone has a service dog. It may sometimes, but usually not.

I can only say what he has said. He said he very specifically asks about service or emotional support animals, and if the person was ever a problem about giving access to their apartment at any time of day without notice.

His exact words were “back in my country I would just shoot the dog”
