Wait, people think steak and red meat is some sort of luxury item?
We're not talking filet mignon here.
I'd love to see a list of what people think food stamps should be used for.

>pizza place wont cater gay weddings
"Well just go somewhere else!"
>people threaten to burn down pizza place and make the whole thing a national story
"What a bunch of butthurt liberals!"
Can't fuckin' win, dude.
Fixed. If people would just go someplace else and let the free market do its job, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
No, we'd be having the "liberals cause hometown pizza joint to close" conversation. Do I condone the actions of those who made threats? Absolutely not.

Memories Pizza do not discriminate against gay people as individuals, which is what the left would like to you believe.
...unless those individuals are getting married.
And at the end of the day, that's the business' loss, not theirs. There are plenty of other wedding caterers out there that serve gay marriages. It's kind of what we call a free market.
Right, which is great. But to say that Memories doesn't/wouldn't discriminate against gays is disingenuous, given that they've publicly stated they would not cater a gay wedding. If catering a wedding wasn't something they did - fine. But if they would cater a straight wedding but not a gay wedding, that's different.

Memories Pizza has never discriminated against homosexual people as individuals. They just don't cater to gay weddings.
You don't see the conflict between these two sentences? Who do you think attends gay weddings? And yeah, just to add a little addendum, people were threatening to burn down the business simply for having the gall not to cater to a specific wedding. I do not condone such behavior just for disagreeing with someone. That was despicable of them.

Has it ever occurred to you that most people in this country don't give a single shit what other people believe?
Has it ever occurred to you these people aren't playing around and act on their violent beliefs?
There's an argument to be made that if you suppress them even more, you're magnifying the problem and increasing the result.

So, yeah, they would refuse service to gays.
No. They would serve two gay men if they walked into their restaurant. They wouldn't cater a ceremony they feel is conflicting with their beliefs. Like, you might serve a skinhead, but you wouldn't cater their cross-burnings.
How is refusing to serve a gay wedding, but not a hetero one, not refusing service to gays?

it isn't discrimination, at all. discrimination is denying a basic, needed service to someone when there is no other option for them, refusing to serve a wedding that the owner feels isn't right isn't fucking discrimination. If they would cater a hetero wedding, but not a gay wedding, it's discrimination. Do they have the legal right to do so? Yes. Are they assholes for doing so? Even yes-er.

Except they didn't say they'd refuse to serve gays. They said they wouldn't cater specifically to gay weddings.
But they would do a hetero wedding. Their objection isn't to catering weddings - it's to catering gay weddings. So, yeah, they would refuse service to gays.

http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-indiana-pizzeria-gay-rights-20150403-story.htmlA fundraiser for the owners of an Indiana pizzeria that became the target of widespread animosity after they said they wouldn't cater a same-sex wedding reception has collected more than $828,000 from anonymous donors.
A GoFundMe page started by a producer from The Blaze, a conservative news network founded by Glenn Beck, has drawn more than 28,500 donors.
"The intent was to help the family stave off the burdensome cost of having the media parked out front, activists tearing them down, and no customers coming in. Our goal was simply to help take one thing off this family's plate as the strangers sought to destroy them," wrote Lawrence Jones, a producer who works for Blaze personality Dana Loesch. "But other strangers came to the rescue and the total just keeps going up." Don't worry, they've raised almost a million dollars. There's no shortage of people who are willing to support a business that would refuse service to gays. It's like Chick Fil A Day all over again.

You're bothered that much by people carrying signs? I think it says more about you than it does them.

Soldiers don't really get paid much anyway. Their biggest things are benefits, not pay.

No. If supply and demand is good enough to determine the price of apples, it's good enough to determine the price of labour too.
That's an excellent point.

>gets mad a college students because people can't be upset and shit
>moral of story
Don't get in a helicopter lolyoloswag
Kill yourself
Here, I'll save you the trouble of snitching.
snitching about what? It looks like I'm being told to kill myself on the daily. I'm used to it. Also was my post traumatizing?
More to do with the serious board having a certain standard of posts and a two word 'kill yourself' doesn't really meet said standard.
So the thing I would like to point out is that the one 'getting mad at college students' wasn't actually getting mad at college students, if you read the full essay he wrote instead of some conservative rag's manipulated story you'd have seen that.
The other thing I'd point out is that this mister marine in question wasn't injured in a helicopter crash, but was recounting the tale of his friend who was.
sounds like op could have picked a less biased article.
Indeed he could and I wish he'd chosen the article that Turkey linked in his post because it's a much better read than the shite in the OP lol
But then OP couldn't shit on anyone who disagreed and call them liberal idiots!

So what does the US get out of supporting them?
"A valuable ally in the middle east" or so we're told
Is this ally like Russia in WW2 where they were a big help or are they more of that ally where we end up doing most of it?
I assume the latter.

For real, the Budd Dwyer suicide video is one of the most disturbing videos I've seen...and I've seen a lot. The amount of blood that pours out his nose and mouth is terrifying.

Hmm
http://www.abc57.com/story/28681598/rfra-first-business-to-publicly-deny-same-sex-service
HOLY SHIT. ONE business out of THOUSANDS is refusing to cater gay weddings! Fuck me I guess we need legislation against that so that everyone can be serviced by a backwards-ass pizza parlor!
That quite obviously wasn't the point.
We were just talking about how businesses were just saying they wouldn't ever discriminate against a customer for something like that. Clearly some businesses would.
And one of the first businesses to do so is getting hammered with negative public opinion. I don't see the problem.
The problem isn't that they're facing negativity because of their position. I'm just pointing out that businesses exist that would do this.

I dont see why we cant just criminalise degeneracy like homosexuality and transexuality. That would be better than having to pass laws to allow christians their freedom.
lol newbie trying to troll Serious. Get the fuck out.
