Anti-vaccination people are like somebody doubting that driving while blindfolded down a public highway is bad. You are free to go do that crazy shit on your 40-acre farm but not on the same highway we use. And we have some societal obligation to protect your minor children from your crazy driving-while-blindfolded…

That blob of cult bullshit Mike Huckabee should get together with Lindsay Graham to clutch their pearls and mutter "Laws, I do declare!" or whatever uptight old southerners say when modern civilization gives them the vapors.

I'm trying to make "Don't be a Bieber" happen. It could replace "douchebag" as the quintessential insult.

I am fine with this. I trust Taylor Swift with the English language as I trust her in all things.

I still have no idea what you are yammering about. I have asked for no cake.

Nobody suggested freedom of association wasn't a thing. And pretending anti-discrimination laws don't exist will not make them cease to exist. Your comment is a string of straw man fallacies. See here to learn more: www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html

All night long the Weather Channel was reduced to broadcasting a meteorologist screaming about Winter Storm Benghazi over and over from underneath a desk while somebody offstage intermittently cried and sang "New York, New York."

This seems to be a very difficult concept for you. Let's try this explanation:

A business owner operating under public policy protections in the public sphere MAY limit the services it provides, if those service limits are based on their areas of expertise ("I don't write profanity" is a valid limitation on available…

I have no idea what you are yammering about now. Self-respect? Stop projecting and take it up with your therapist.

No, you are incorrect. A business owner operating under public policy protections in the public sphere MAY limit the services it provides. If a business owner limits the human beings it chooses to serve, based on their innate human characteristics, he or she perpetrates discrimination.

Brian, you do not seem to understand my position. I support a baker that limits the writing they put on cakes, because customers may not demand a business owner provide that which they do not routinely provide, and customers may not demand designs that a designer does not routinely do. If a house carpenter does not…

No, the Bible does not prohibit same-sex marriage. You moving your goalposts does not change that your are wrong when you claim otherwise. Marriages require no sexual activity. Assuming the Ancient Hebrew-to-English translation you refer to is accurate, the Bible might condemn gay sexual intercourse. The bakers you…

If you eat the glutens you'll get a bad case of the chemtrails.

There's nothing in the Bible prohibiting same-sex marriage. Which makes these allegedly religious objections to serving same-sex couples complete and utter bullshit.

A wedding cake does not have religious implications. A couple can get married at the city hall with no clergy involved, and have a very nice wedding cake at a party afterward.

A Muslim (or Buddhist or Orthodox Teapottian) baker who refuses to serve a customer because of that customer's gender compared to somebody…

Yes, foomartini is confusing a person's inherent characteristics with what a person might be wearing or carrying.

No, you are completely and utterly confused about the issues under discussion. Period. Repeating your errors won't make them true. Gayness is not even necessary for a same-sex marriage to occur, and lawsuits have been filed about enduring sex discrimination in businesses despite your false claim to the contrary. …

No, a wedding cake is served at a party following a religious ritual called a wedding, and is almost never served at the ritual itself. Cake is not required for the religious ritual. The cake is part of catering, not a covenant, and is no more holy than a thrown bouquet or doing the Chicken Dance. Keep trying,…

My words were very clear. If you really think gender "has nothing to do with anything," then you still do not understand the fundamentals of the issue being discussed. A customer's gender/sex is THE REASON for the business owner's refusal of service. "My religion won't let me serve you because you are a woman and…
