That would be unreasonable if I was selling cakes as a business. Weak gotcha, leave that to terrible journalists. They get paid when people cringe.

If you could only choose one, which right do you think are more important?

A: The right to treat people unfairly based on arbitrary reasons that do not affect your business or life at all. This means that you can treat people differently if they're acting like they're on meth and trying to eat the children of your other customers, but not because you don't agree with them, for example.
B: The right to be treated the same as anyone else would be treated. This means that you can go into the only grocery store within the nearest 100 miles, act like any other customer would, and receive the same services that the company claims they provide, no matter what innate tendencies you might have.

Sorry that you can't handle your worldview being challenged, bro.

I do, but it depends on the kind of *******. Nice young and clean *******? Put it in them hot dogs. Old rotten and uncleaned *******s? Just don't sell them as hot dogs aight.

Even though piece of ass isn't technically inaccurate, it usually means a totally different thing.

Yeah why not?

There is good AIDS and bad AIDS.

Um, what?

Exactly. It's not like I'm hunting them down for it.

Well, yeah. After this though I think your points begin to worry me and get increasingly weird and hard, nay impossible to defend, in some cases even understand.

ENDPOINT: I may not like the way you practice your freedom, but I will fight for you to have it. I will fight equally for someone to have the right to be gay just as hard as I will fight for someone to call them a faggot.

Not the last part. How can you equate freedom to be gay with the freedom to harrass gay people? I'm a Jew but Hitler had a point?

If someone discriminated against me for being a certain ethnicity or sexual orientation, I would tell them to fuck off. Not whine about my rights being infringed. Grow a pair.

Bolded: Why in the name of all that's good should that be true? The only discrimination that should be allowed would be in the most surface way, like "he has very discriminating tastes" or "can you discriminate a frog from a toad?" (Btw I'm not a reptilianist, but **** toads, frogs rule!)

In red: turn the question around: why SHOULDN'T they be allowed/want to eat, work or play wherever the hell they want to? Who are you, or I, to tell them they can't? Are we going back to segregationism in your world, Merit?

How the **** is it legal????

Don't be dense. The baker runs a business. It's not up to him to decide who his customers can and can't be, based on his own moral, religious or other prejudices.

Are you actually serious? So nobody who feels like working today need go in? A house is on fire but hey, the firemen don't feel like getting in the truck, so let it burn down? You need a heart bypass, but the doctor's watching golf on the telly so **** off???

There is a difference between physically harming someone and refusing to bake them a cake. Get a clue.

There is a difference of course, but the one is really as bad as the other. Do you not realise the basis behind the refusal to bake the cake? It's called bigotry.

That's the most ridiculous analogy. Frownland doesn't work in that industry. He'll tell you to **** off, or worse, play you his latest album.

I guess it was a small tear at first and I should have stayed off of it for a few days but Linda's been working so I had to take the dogs out for walks to do their stuff. Two days ago the pain was pretty bad. Yesterday morning I was dying and looking like Frankenstein being led down the street by 150 pounds of dog.

By god, Chula! Get some meat on your bones!!
