my dad commented that if she really wanted to attract people with money she would host the Republican National Committee. At least they wouldn't show up in cross-dressing swimsuits. most of them, I would really rather not see in swimsuits at all, given that most people who make it to that level of politics are middle aged or more. and I have reached a point where I have started to consider that nobody really needs to see me in public without a shirt on. |

I agree. The world would be a better place if MOST* people kept their clothes on. * there are a few exceptions  |

If I did, the first thing they would notice is the glare. |

What the word "tolerance" used to mean:
"The ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviour that one dislikes or disagrees with"
What the word "tolerance" means now:
"Straight men are evil (white and Arabic men more than any other races). All other denominations of human beings are incapable of being wrong in any way, unless they conform to the traditions forced upon them by straight men, in which case they're just ignorant slaves in need of salvation."
What the word "feminism" used to mean:
"The advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes."
What the word "feminism" means now:
"Straight men are evil (white and Arabic men more than any other races). Girls and women are superior beings, are entitled to special treatment and can do no wrong, unless they conform to the traditions forced upon them by straight men, in which case they're just ignorant slaves in need of salvation."
What the word "racism" used to mean:
"Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."
What the word "racism" means now:
"White people are evil. All other races are incapable of being wrong in any way, unless they conform to the traditions forced upon them by white people, in which case they're just ignorant slaves in need of salvation."

www.alternet.org/entire-staff-tenn-county-clerks-office-resigns-over-same-sex-marriageWhere "Pope" is the name of one of the staff, not the actual pope.... which leads me to wonder, has the actual pope said anything on the subject, how would he react. After all, I ask this important question. In some sectors of the Christian Church, you are supposed to live in chastity, you are married to the religion, to God. Erm... God is depicted as a Man. You can see where that is going cant you?... I do ask difficult questions dont I?....

BTW, in case you haven't already figured it out, Alternet is an anti-establishment biased publication. |

Actually, I can admire them for having the courage of their convictions.
Agree or disagree with them, you can't say they're hypocrites.
As for the gender of a divine being and any wedding thereof, that's just silly.

Once again, "Lil Miesters" has a pretty apt commentary about current events. |

"I'm offended that he won't bake me a cake" I am offended by the number of people who get offended. Do people really spend their hours looking intently at things to see how they may be offended.... |

"I'm offended that he won't bake me a cake" I am offended by the number of people who get offended. Do people really spend their hours looking intently at things to see how they may be offended.... And I'm offended that you're offended by the number of people who get offended  Also, I'm offended that people who get offended choose to go off those ends. What have those ends ever done to them? Why were they on them in the first place? What made them choose to get off? Ends have as much right to exist and be respected in the world of shapes as curves, bends and egdes do, but you don't hear about anyone getting "offcurved" or "offbent", do you? I demand that a government committee is created to look into and stop the discrimination against ends! I suggest we start a support group for these poor ends, so consider this the official forming of "Onended People International". Our official motto will be, "Don't get on, just to get off!" No, wait... I think a feminist group already claimed that one... "Get off my end and I'll get on yours!" Nope... That one's been taken by a group of gay rights activists... We'll hold off on the motto for now |

if you need other people's approval that badly, maybe you need to be talking to a psychiatrist. I'd kinda like to be the next baker so I could refuse and sue them for mental anguish caused by fear of getting sued for doing it wrong. |

I can see where the State may try to fine the bakers for withholding service, but why would the judge award damages to the lesbian idiots? Wouldn't that have to be filed under a separate civil case? |

I suspect this IS the separate civil case. Doesn't look that way according to the link Antigone posted. |

I stand by my first Internet law to defend the right of free speech.
I may not fully agree with what they have to say, but, in my own sense of what is right, they have religion, and although I may not agree 100% with that religion, I defend their right to have religion, they have freedom of speech, which is a legal right, and I defend their right to have that, and they have objections.
In this way, I argue that the "Fine" imposed on them is outrageous.
My whole moral standpoint is that the lack of a (beep)ing cake can cost them their business?...
HOW THE HELL CAN WE ALLOW THAT TO BE RIGHT?.....
And to "Silence" them from objecting?...
I believe the term is "Railroad".
Kangaroo court anyone?...
This is beyond any form of silly, this is out of the realms of oiur how stupid can you be thread, this if flagrant gobmint' subversiveness to depress those that have a public voice to railroad through "politically correct" laws.
I now am "On the side" of the bakers, to defend the right of free speech.
To defend the right to trade under Christian beliefs.
Now I have to ask.
Would the same laws be passed, and the same subversion be used, if a MUSLIM bakery refused to bake a cake under religious beliefs?...
Go for it.
Ask if you would get the same result via anti-Semitic laws, force the Jews to go bake a BACON SANDWICH.....
Precious Snowflake has taken it to far this time.
Lets see if I can get this right...
One Nation Under God.
Am I anywhere close to that?...
So where is defending their faith ILLEGAL?....
I think I should not waste an opportunity to shut the hell up right now before I say something that may offend "someone".[/sarcasm...?....]
