Arizona at it again

[2centsworth]

Just calling it how I see it. I think it's annoying as for a person of said group to act like they should be given a medal because they are "different" yet they want to be treated like everyone else. Make up your damn mind. If you want to be equal, then fine but don't act like a victim or martyr. Do gay people really want equality? I don't get it. They want the same rights as straight people but they want people to celebrate their gayness. That's annoying to me. My backbone is crooked but I don't ask anyone to give me special treatment because of my crooked backbone.

So requiring the law to protect them against discrimination is asking for special treatment? Should I be allowed to refuse service to you at my place of business because your backbone is crooked? Is serving you like everyone else special treatment?

I'm having a real hard time following your line of thinking. Quick question: Are you for or against the Arizona Law?

[Jacob1983]

I'd say I'd be against the law but I think the issue should be open to interpretation. Do I think a flaming gay guy shouldn't be allowed to get a Whopper at Burger King or Chilis' baby back ribs? No. Do I think a preacher/minister/priest should have the right to refuse to marry a gay couple due to religious reasons? Yes.



A flaming gay guy should be allowed to get a Whopper. Also, preacher/minister/priest should be allowed to bow out of marrying a gay couple.

[ChumpDumper]

Are ministers forced to marry anyone who asks?

[Jacob1983]

In Russia, they are.

[ChumpDumper]

In Russia, they are.

No, they aren't.

[Jacob1983]

Yes they are according to my sources.

[TDMVPDPOY]

so what h appens with tourism in that state? wont serve them?

[ChumpDumper]

Yes they are according to my sources.

You're simply lying for no reason. Do you do this in real life conversations too?

[DisAsTerBot]

What if the business is funded 100 percent privately? I think businesses should be allowed to do what they want. Besides, don't a lot of places already reserve the right to refuse service at their discretion? People need to stop propping up sexuals as martyrs and heroes. Who gives a if you are a guy and like ? Do you think you deserve a medal or something? Shut the up.

your comprehension is amazing

[DisAsTerBot]

jacob will be stuck at target forever if this is him "calling it like i see it". That is until they hire a new batch of 16 year olds who can easily replace him tbh

restaurants are able to post dress codes, "no shoes, no shirt, or gun, no service" but that is non-discriminatory.

how about fat chicks with skimpy shorts, bare midriff, and cleavage exposing 80% of their s? Would "Walmart People" be allowed in your family restaurant?

what's your dress code?

[Jacob1983]

I don't think gay people should be praised and celebrated when they admit they have been lying to everyone about what turns them on their whole lives. You shouldn't be called a hero for that . If you want to be normal then I'm okay with that but I think it's annoying when you want me to drop everything because you belong to a minority group. Go yourself is my at ude toward the whole thing.

Nobody is asking you to drop anything, Jacob... chill

Who has ever asked you to drop anything or give anyone a medal?

Seriously, get a better job. It will get you on your way from envying teh gheys.

[Jacob1983]

Ben from Lost. He said he would let me borrow a boat if I gave boone a medal. Tried to do it but damn Locke killed Boone before I could give him the medal.

[ChumpDumper]

That's a fictional TV show.

You might have bigger problems than just a job.

[Jacob1983]

I am tonight's entertainment.

[Blake]

Hard to believe there is actually a worse governor than Perry.

[Blake]

My wrath awaits you.

I don't think I shop at the Target you work at.

Mississippi Scraps Discriminatory ‘Religious Freedom’ Provisions Following Backlash In Arizona

COOPER: You say it’s all about protecting people of faith in Arizona. Can you give me a specific example of someone in Arizona who’s been forced to do something against their religious belief or [been] successfully sued because of their faith?

MELVIN: Again, I think if anything, this bill is preemptive: to protect priests —

COOPER: You can’t give me one example of this actually happening?

MELVIN: No I can’t, but we’ve seen it in other states and we don’t want it to happen here. [...]

COOPER: You can’t cite one example of where religious freedom is under attack in Arizona.

MELVIN: Not now, no, but how about tomorrow?

a group of law professors say that media critics have misrepresented SB 1062, that it is very different from the Kansas legislation, and that it clears up ambiguities in the RFRA that have led to litigation in the past:

ST legal eagles, weigh in?

the foregoing appears to be academic. Brewer will veto: http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/25/politi...gious-freedom/

Seems to me that even if it doesn't directly address discrimination that if it can be included, it is still ambiguous and needs more cleaning.

Fwiw, I think that letter written by the "top legal experts" is a bit ambiguous itself. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn later it's a phony.

I got it through an uber-liberal lawyer friend. she might have been duped, but I doubt it.
