As a reminder, just in case this isn’t a straw man and you actually believe your point is valid, neither the photographers nor the bakers in these cases refused service to same-sex couples. What they did choose to do was not participate in a service that runs contrary to their religious beliefs. You do see the difference, right? The bakers would gladly have provided a birthday cake for the couple. The photographer would gladly do portraits for the couple or headshots, etc… Now if you want to ask if these two groups support private businesses being allowed to not participate in a special service that is specifically contrary to their religious beliefs, then I would have to answer that I have no idea whether SCOTUS was present.

FIFYNNTTM Poor Klaus. TeH maths are HARD sometimes. Fortunately he is not in a field that requires strong teh math. He's in a field that gets to redefine math symbols and math operators.

I just switched to facebook from here and saw this same picture, weird.

Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest Oh well

@Mik said in Hay Cats! You're "I'm sittin' here!" post of the day.: I think he's done that before. Ayup. He's a regular, and has a favorite lounge chair. Love how he knew where the pool was, and used it as a shortcut to his chair.

Just to be different, I'll say 50% and if I'm wrong I'm guessing too low. I haven't Googled yet, but now I'm going to look it up.

Cashless business is racist. I'm sure she knows that. Racially poor people don't carry fancy "other forms of transactions". Why doesn't someone teach her to speak English? Communication matters.

@Catseye3 said in Get something special for Valentines Day: @Mik It's not like you can eat them. Oh thank you. Just as I was getting up to go fix breakfast.

@Mik said in "Someone parked in my driveway": exiling them The term "outlaw" comes from that idea - you were exiled and without the protection of the law if you committed these transgressions. An outlaw, in its original and legal meaning, is a person declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, all legal protection was withdrawn from the criminal, so that anyone was legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the death penalty is conspicuously absent, and outlawing is the most extreme punishment, presumably amounting to a death sentence in practice. The concept is known from Roman law, as the status of homo sacer, and persisted throughout the Middle Ages.

Was that a gender reveal?
