Oh fuck.
This could very easily turn into a proxy conflict between Turkey and Russia. Even worse, it could be dragged into the greater conflict in the middle east right now. I'm gonna pray for them. 1627
Serious / Re: Mississippi Legislature passes another Religious Freedom Bill« on: April 01, 2016, 03:50:30 PM »Clearly you don't understand my position at all.You seem to be under the impression that LGBT rights and religious freedom are at odds, and the more LGBT rights there are, the less religious freedom you have.Oh, I see, I see.There is literally nothing wrong with this, and if you think there is you have no business calling yourself a liberal.Discrimination bad, equality good! 1628
Serious / Re: Mississippi Legislature passes another Religious Freedom Bill« on: April 01, 2016, 03:44:25 PM »
look, laws that actively prevent someone from doing something based on sexuality, ethnicity, etc are discriminatory. I do not advocate those. However, as far as I know, this law does not do that.
Unless I have missed something, this law ensures a person can refuse to do business based on their religious beliefs. That is far from discrimination. There are quite a few wedding cake stores in that state. As far as I know. The liberal position here is that man may choose who he does business with. Sorry, that's it. Like you wouldn't ask a gay man to bake a cake that says "god hates fags", a man whose religion is opposed to homosexuality shouldn't be wrangled into making a gay wedding cake. Now, if this bill actually lays out a policy that discriminates (like the bathroom law in NC), I am misinformed and would be happy to reassess based on the accurate information. 1629

Every day I read about my brothers in Christ dying by the dozens in the Levant. I know how good we have it. Quote so much so that you need to pass laws to 'protect' your freedom.Is that not the entire point of laws in a liberal republic? 1630

So policies that could require people to act counter to their religious beliefs are okay because LGBTQWTFBBQ rights are more important than religious rights. Gotcha. 1631

The officer in this case was charged with 2nd degree murder.Talking about cops as if they're some kind of monolithic entity is ridiculous.

Serious / Re: Why are liberals so condescending?« on: March 30, 2016, 12:12:40 AM »thanks for illustrating perfectly how Republicans are the party of restriction of liberty and rights.You still haven't addressed why those things would matter, though. 1643
Serious / Re: Why are liberals so condescending?« on: March 29, 2016, 11:42:00 PM »The Republicans, in order to protect what they see as a child's right to life.Please remind me which party wants to overturn the SCOTUS rulings on Roe v WadeWe could talk about why that is objectively not true, but then you'd just accuse Republicans of allowing too many dangerous rights and freedoms.Except nothing I said was wrong. The Republican party is the party of restricting rights and freedoms.I'd prefer liberals be condescending towards others instead of conservatives actively denying rights to others.Thanks for proving my point. Quote and Obergefell v Hodges.I'll give you that, and I'll also point out that gay marriage doesn't matter. Like, at all. Quote Please remind me which party cut the Voting Rights Act?I'll have to admit that I don't know enough about the VRA or the politics around it to comment, but I doubt it's as simple as the "Basically Republicans don't want blacks to be able to vote" shit Huffpost tried to sell me when I googled it. Quote Remind me which party wants to require ID to vote.This is just being reasonable, and I'd argue that that doesn't go far enough. Quote At least Democrats don't have the gall to claim to be the party of liberty and freedom while acting directly against those values.They do though. Quote Rights and freedoms matter because that's the foundation of our country.And then you'll probably turn around and tell me the 2nd amendment is outdated, and the removal of native americans was a genocide, and the founding fathers were actually bad guys because they owned slaves. There's a lot more to the founding of the United States than those "rights and freedoms" that YOU and your faction consider legitimate. Do not appeal to it unless you are willing to address or embrace those discrepancies. Quote We are not longer the United States of America if we turn away from rights and freedoms.lmao you sound like Rand Paul 1644

Of course I'm talking about abortion.And in the eyes of many others, including the Republicans themselves, this is only restrictive in the same sense that criminalizing murder is restrictive. 1645
