"i'm not religious, but i know enough that most of the big religions started basically on the "don't be an asshole" premise."

Did they? It seems like most religions historically are pretty big on: "if you slight our gods in any way, they will fuck your shit up".

I'm really sorry to be that person, but it's "nip this in the bud." You're cutting something off before it can grow, not biting something on the ass.

Thank you for asking this question, I was thinking the same thing and fearing I did it too!

Ultimately, that should be about the same amount of money either way. If you're tipping on the total bill or individually, it should come out to the same thing, shouldn't it?

Yeah, it's a fucking gay bar. It's not supposed to be a "friendly space for women." Not everything is for you.

Ha ha, it's so hilarious that you'd send people somewhere thinking they'd be uncomfortable because there's gay people there! That's not the least bit homophobic at all!

Do us a favor, then, and instead of bitching at atheists and secularists who are upset by stories like this, go after the Christian theocrats in this country who are causing the problems. I get sick and tired of moderate Christians putting more time and energy into covering their ass and whining about how, like,…

Perhaps, but you're part of the problem. Your moderate religiosity lends legitimacy to what otherwise would be considered fringe and dangerously stupid beliefs. You accept gays while also claiming the resurrection was a historical event. You merely have a separate interpretation, which leaves you no better off…

You know, I appreciate your doing the yeoman's work here by pointing out all the flaws in West's dumbass argument, but really, you only need refute one thing. The central tenet of West's worldview — and that of many other bigots — is that homosexuality cannot possibly be inborn. To people like him, we are all born…

Translation: Lazy-ass waitress constantly nags managers about wanting to go home. On one busy night, a manager gets annoyed at this, fills up the waitress' entire section, and *then* tells her she can go home after those are all gone. (Plus the restaurant never lets other waitstaff pick up a coworker's tables for…
