But why should financial self-interest trump every other issue? And why are the things you mention any less intelligent than voting for a politician who is going to raise your taxes, and likely give you nothing in return?

So what about in this case... Say you meet a guy, he’s great, you do the dirty and it’s all good. Then, you find out the scumbag is married. You would never have slept with a married man knowingly, but you consented and enjoyed everything leading up to the sex, as well as the sex itself. Would you consider that to be…

I keep telling people, Fairfax is a cultural experience. Especially when it comes to food. Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Salvadorian, Korean... You name it, they have it. Now I’m hungry...

Her beliefs are preventing her from doing her job and screwing over passengers who have to wait for the non-fundie stewardess to finally pass by…

In one sense, I agree that the situations aren’t comparable. Davis refuses to act as the state performing a function of the state, when in reality the state itself does not have a freedom to religion. She has that job, she needs to do that job, full stop, or remove herself from the position of being a representative…
