would anyone here have a problem with me if I didn't want to hire someone like that? If we are fine limiting peoples' freedoms on one thing (smoking at home) then shouldn't those same people back me up?

I am consistent on 'your body, your choice' but when I apply it to other things I am called a libertarian. The same people saying that are all for companies telling me what I can do at home as well.

If they really believe that, they should be all for companies not wanting to hire people who do other things - and money is more important than freedom right? You drink at home? Could cost the company more. Get pregnant? Well, that is choice - and that could cost the company time and money.

Never mind me, I am just some libertarian who actually believes in the principles people talk about and carries them out over more than one topic.
