wtf????

You sound pretty elitist, entitled, and you negligently gave your dog to a total stranger. How are you not garbage?

I don't like the term allies. It threatens cis-unity.

And by the way, the "A+" represents asexuals and everyone else who is not cisgender or straight.

Lesbians triedv to kill me and gay dudes tried to rape me. I make mistakes left and right and upon reflection realize that I follow very closely the footsteps of the community currently discussed.

Stop being so cryptic. In plain English: What the **** is the point you are trying to make?

Well, that was weird.

Anyway, back to hard hitting news related to Donald Trump...such as how depressed James Franco feels about it!

James Franco on Trump: 'I've spiraled into a depression' | TheHill

Nice mini-deflection Trumpeater. Care to comment on this?

Mexican President: We will not pay for Trump's wall - CNNPolitics.com

Do the Trump posse realize that if he enforces tariffs in order to get Mexico to pay for the wall it will only mean higher prices for US consumers?

:tramp::tramp::tramp:

Here's a song that's more appropriate to the discussion than Pink Floyd's:-



Compared to Trump, the Mexican president (regularly reviled by his own people) now sounds dignified, rational and morally superior - not characteristics that I would ordinarily associate with Mexican politicians:-

probably an unpopular opinion here but i think business' owners should be able to do this if they want. in my personal opinion i would much rather openly know that someone is homophobic or racist than giving them my hard earned money only to find out who i was supporting later down the line. anybody remember the whole cake thing?

Court Rules Bakery Illegally Discriminated Against Gay Couple - ACLU - Colorado


at the end of the day you can't force away bigoted individuals, and i feel it's better to let the civilians see what the truth of the matter is and handle it themselves instead of having the government get involved.

Depends on where it is. In some rural locations it could be the only place to get a cake for miles. Framing it as an attack on their religious freedoms is some of the most bizarre lines of thinking that I've ever heard.

lol

ya I agree that it isn't an attack, but I just don't agree with forcing a business into doing something. the kind of person who thinks being gay is against God's will is the kind of person that I would actively try not to support.

as far as the only bakery for miles, I doubt that is much of an issue during a wedding. if you're already falling into the idea that weddings need to be an extravagant affair then I doubt the extra travel or delivery fee is going to hurt you too much.

I'm not excusing business' from being abusive or offensive either, obviously there is a fine line between firmly denying service and being a ****. you're probably a dickhead regardless, but I believe it should be within your right to be a dickhead.

Ja. I can't get behind creating second class citizens because of people's ass-backwards beliefs.

If people don't want to sell cakes to gays they should be allowed just accept your business will probably suffer.

I'd rather buy gay friendly cakes myself.

I don't have faith in that assumption. If you're homophobic, you probably live in a place where that idea isn't challenged that often.

I was making a joke. Only a leftist stooge like you would call that deflection. But hey, at least you have good taste in prog. :tramp::tramp::tramp:

He'd have that wall paid for in a few days if he could put some kind of tax on money going back into Mexico via Western Union + similar services....

...wait, I'm pretty sure we talked about this before.

I don't really like the thought of joining ideologies to atheism though, not least because atheism is not itself an ideology. I also don't like joining it to something that has evolved to include so many divisive and regressive individuals as 3rd wave feminism has. I'm fine being an atheist who reps feminist ideals, but I don't want it to end up being required for me to conform to an ideology I don't necessarily agree with (3rd wave feminism) in order to call myself an atheist.

Huh?

Isn't A+ Atheism+?

In the post that you quoted.

I guess I missed the context then.

It hasn't been a full week. This is getting intense so fast.

I hope everyone can fully appreciate how much more dangerous this makes Rex. With logical minds and institutional knowledge gone and the department being handed to someone with little diplomatic experience, I can imagine any number of explosive situations occurring. With as little hyperbole as I can muster, this is truly and utterly terrifying.

He does have a point here.

As horrifying as it is, I hold a little hope that this sort of sh*t is what causes a massive priority shift with the Right. One thing is for sure, this spring and summer may get violent.

It'll either be a priority shift or the death of the GOP.

no he doesn't. if something doesn't fit his ideals he immediately jumps to being dismissive and arrogant. pretty funny coming from someone who still thinks communism is a good system.

I really hope it isn't the death of the GOP. As much as I generally disagree with Republicans, I can't help shake this feeling that a multi party system could be beneficial. It just sucks that the GOP has had its head up its ass for so long.

You genuinely don't see any similarity between not serving homosexuals and not serving another race?

ofc there are similarities but would you honestly not rather out these horrible people than have them just shove subtle racism down these customers throats? at least then everyone knows and you can choose not to support them.

Do you remember the Chik Fil A incident? Where their business boomed following homophobic statements? Your faith in these businesses failing is too optimistic. That's also not to mention that homophobic attitudes are more rampant in places where that kind of attitude is considered acceptable, so they have lots of allies to keep their business afloat. Giving people the opportunity to strip other citizens of rights and privileges because of things that are out of their control is never acceptable. I think they should lose their business license if they refuse service in that manner.

you don't think things would have went a little differently had they refused to serve them? it's one thing to have these opinions but entirely different to act on them.

think of how many other chik fil a's there are out there as well.

at the end of the day it would only be small business' that would ever do this, and only if they had incredibly poor business sense.

Wanna go out sometime and have a cup of coffee?

You faith in the market is inspiring. "Eh, they're just gonna fail anyways! Let em break the 14th amendment it's cool."

lol I'm pretty sure I can choose the point in my own argument but thanks for your concern mate.

we'll have to agree to disagree frown, it's not an issue I'm all that passionate about but clearly we have different views on the matter.

Man I thought you were all constitution lovin and stuff because you said you were a libertarian.

I can't stop laughing....
