Indiana's "Religious Freedom" Law

[Indy]

Validant effort. But it always ends the same with people like him.

I know. I shouldn't feed it.

Mornin', fellas. Two things. Interesting aside, the young girl in the initial interview is only 16 years old. She was opening the restaurant for her parents. Sourced from a local message board from a person who lives in the town:

It was a major setup.The news57 girl was setting up her cameras at 6:30 am on the sidewalk 3 hours before the girl got there to open. They have a cross on their wall. They had a nice Easter display inside.

So if true, would all the people mocking her for her teeth be bullying a minor who was, not surprisingly, not very well-spoken when being interviewed? Food for thought.

Tammy Bruce expands and clarifies in a better way than my comment about "making you guys look bad" did:

Dan, who here is mocking anyone for their looks or how well spoken they are? Who here is mocking anyone for any reason? The questions here are about whether or not you support discrimination, specifically based on sexual orientation this time.

I'm not speaking of anyone in particular here, there are tons of other instances online though.

Sheesh, do I need to add a disclaimer to my sig? "Unless I use your name specifically I'm not speaking of you."

No need for the sig. Just wondering why you would post that here when (almost) nobody here would act that way or condone it. It just seemed completely immaterial to the discussion we were having here.

[Dan H]

The preamble to my statement: interesting aside, AKA apropos of nothing, AKA, oh by the way. Just something interesting I found that adds interest and clarity to the matter at hand in my opinion. Are you (you as in you, Indy) being purposely obtuse or just not caffeinated enough?

[Indy]

So this is probably too semantic for this discussion, but "interesting" doesn't equate to "apropos of nothing". They are very different.

"Interesting aside" says to me there is something interesting here, and at least tangentially apropos to our discussion.

I don't think I'm the one being obtuse today.

[Indy]

By the way, thanks for clarify the "you" in that last post.

Nobody here would defend violence or threats against the homophobic pizza place.

if you dont believe in gay marriage, you're homophobic? only in murica.

Yes, wanting to deny equal rights to gay people does equal homophobia. Marriage is a secular institution now, and organized religion should no longer have any say in who can or cannot get married. Denying this to gay people is anti-gay and discriminatory. As is denying gay customers service simply for being gay, at an otherwise fully public business.

[Ghost]

Yes, Dan, I would consider all of them to be bullies for attacking her. And that's not based on her age, although that certainly doesn't make it any better (I'd say it makes it worse, but since the trolls would have done it anyway, it's kind of irrelevant).

For the most part, though, I would imagine those trolls will make their one drive-by snipe comment and move on with their sad lives. So, it's inexcusable, but also doesn't rise to the level of most bullying stories we hear about, which tend to be ongoing campaigns with the purpose of destroying someone's life (often literally).

my gay friends and acquaintances dont believe in gay marriage either. now what?

This isn't court. I don't need proof to have an opinion, which I based on what I have seen you say. I don't need to back it up with evidence to have an opinion to know that I do not like you. I do not think you are honest in how you deal with us on this board; I do not think you are reasonable in talking about the things we talk about. I do not like you, SDC. I do not wish anything bad upon you; the only thing I wish is that you would be a more honest and forthright person. I am not holding my breath. I enjoy talking with a lot of conservatives who are capable of handling themselves as adults; you are not on that list. I wish I were as mature as some around here and could just put you on the blocked list, but I am not that mature.

That is my fault. Keep talking, and eventually maybe I will learn.

no wonder you are losing. you dont have the facts on your side. just baseless opinions, conspiracy mongering, and a taste for blood... just like this dope

how is that even possible? do you even think before you type?

can i be honest with you andy? i dont believe you.
