Let’s work on making white *not* the default then.

You’re right, I don’t care that she’s having sex and normal people shouldn’t.

“God designed two complementary sexes that come together; sex is the physical representation of the covenant bond between a man and a woman; blah blah blah”

Or they saw it as a way to show their superiority is real.

Leave it in the state you want to enter. Yes, it’s a job to clean up after an event like that. But we shouldn't leave a huge mess on purpose. That's a really nasty thing to do to somebody.

Not trolling, but the 1053 in 500 school really did strike me as odd. Can somebody who understands statistics explain this?

Thank you for a complete answer that makes sense. If the business were to fire them, is it justifiable? Or is it opening an opportunity for a lawsuit from the other side. (Not that I think a person standing by their beliefs should be fired)

I recorded it a couple of months ago and it cut out from the end of the soapy water fight though posting the casting notice. It cut out my favorite part (class at Broadway Dance Center with Karen Ziemba)! It was so disappointing.

Writing letters isn't the same as writing lyrics. If a huge cake that needs to be designed and art is being created, that's different. If a client says I want these words written in icing across the top, there's no comparison.

The baker fulfilling the order doesn’t mean they are making the statement. Nobody is forcing the baker to agree with it or to proclaim it for themselves.

Having to do your job doesn’t force you to take a position. Two months ago I had to mic up and run audio for a “pro-life” speaker. I originally turned down the event but co-worker got sick and I had to cover. I wasn’t happy about it, but I did the job my employer pays me for. I was annoyed that I had to listen to her

No, people shouldn’t lose their rights, but rights should not extend to businesses. A business does not have a religion. A person who wants to run a business following the guidelines of a religious entity may do so, but that cannot be the basis for discrimination. Discrimination includes offering goods/services to the

Yeah, but I was 10 and thought she was super-cool so no more DS9 for me. Looking back she wasn’t even nice to me. When I got her autograph I was excited to meet her and said hi followed by a compliment. Her response, “aren’t your pants a little too low?”

I’ll have to try again. TNG is my favorite series and my opinion of DS9 was influenced by a Star Trek convention I attended when someone asked Marina Sirtis what she thought about Deep Space Nine and she said “you mean Deep Sleep Nine?”

Only That’s a false equivalency, a logical fallacy.

Is Sisko really that great? I had such a difficult time getting into DS9 I have no idea. Ferengi and Cardasians are horrible with their kidnapping and brain scans and hanging people from ceilings to torture them.

But it’s the business that is being paid for the cake, not any specific person. This is Hobby Lobby again. People are entitled to their beliefs, businesses are not people and cannot have beliefs. As soon as you stop offering goods and services under your name, when you seek the protection of a corporation by the

How much is NBC’s fine for that?

I really like the show, binge watch to catch up on my days off, but I have yet to actually laugh at an episode. I think she’s funny, but her skits are too real for me, like my brain is thinking “I’d be laughing if this weren’t so true.”

I really wasn’t trying to police your thoughts, just wondering if this was the *best* place to express them not that you shouldn’t express them at all.
