That’s because he’s lying. The only reason he gave away drinks all the time is because he figured out the tips were better when he did it.

Yeah, Robin Hood just returned unjustly collected taxes to the poor. This badass gave free sugar water to people who could afford the more expensive food options.

If he gave them to homeless people he brought in then maybe. These people went to Ihop, I’m sure they went prepared with money to pay for it. This is stealing.

So let me get this straight. People came to IHOP to eat, but cannot afford a $1.50 refillable soda?

“Me and the owner weren’t seeing eye-to-eye.”

This argument was made 50 years ago, and your position lost. Sorry.

Like that distinction even matters!

Regular bigotry can go fuck itself, but if it’s backed by religion, it’s all good.

Why do religious beliefs require special treatment? Why on earth do I have to accommodate someone’s superstition?

Who cares if the beliefs are based on religion? Why does that make them more deserving of respect? I mean, you can hate women and enslave people and base it pretty solidly on the good ol’ testament.

So if my sincere belief is that the Curse of Ham is responsible for the inferiority of Black people, then I have to be accommodated? Or is that religious belief different somehow?

If your religion is a religion, it definitely sucks. All religion is bullshit.

he should be able to observe that, as long as it’s not inconveniencing others?

Even religious beliefs that are flat-out wrong?

I admit I might be biased because I identify as an atheist, but I have trouble accepting the idea that religion is so important that it needs to be accommodated as much as possible. I understand not discriminating against people for their religion, and providing reasonable religious accommodations at a person’s place…

Yes. And let’s ask all white passengers whether they object to sitting next to minority races too, just to be super polite!

I’ve never flown El Al, but I’m 1000% certain that if I had ever delayed a flight by refusing to sit in my assigned seat, any airline I’ve ever flown would have responded by getting my ass off the plane to let rational people get to their destinations. They need to stop accommodating bigots.

Also, if your religion prohibits you from interacting with literally half the people on the planet, your religion probably sucks.

far less than Michio Kaku

Finally. If your religion prohibits any sight or incidental contact with women, maybe you should stay home. We certainly won't.
