Agree to disagree? In Central PA I could set up an openly racist and homophobic business and do extremely well.
no, I said becoming... I think its still a good idea to legislate what is expected re: natural rights.

I mean, if you cross the line to business with an LLC you should loose the right to be a racist/homophopic/nazih8er/furryh8er/orangepeopleh8er and have to serve all people equally.

Let people vote with their wallet.

Also, if a baker is so anti-gay, why are you trying to give them your money? Get the press involved, let the fury of public be upon them.
I agree, laws are good for the more subtle forms of racism that exist, but the extremely overt examples? Fuck it, trial in the court of public opinion always does well.

those who think Columbus is on the east coast when they consistently say, “Happy Holidays,” instead of what most of us have said since we were children, which is, “Merry Christmas.”
:rolleyes:

"Peace on earth, and good will towards.... HEY!! FUCK YOU, IT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

The Republican-led Congress, including Vice President Mike Pence, must immediately bring this charade to closure and censure the president. Trump is not only dragging down the Republicunts, but he is denigrating and destroying the very institutions and values that are the pillars of our democracy. Censure President Donald Trump immediately.

I heard Facebook is bad for your health too.

Don't kid yourself. There are plenty of places in this country that would happily revert to the "old ways" the minute those laws were rescinded.

Ah I misinterpreted 'becoming'. I do think they will be unnecessary in 10/15 years.
To the extant that the future is dicated by the present, I think the necessary time line is waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer, unfortunately. Look how quickly racist pricks came out of the woodwork after the election of one fellow racist prick. They'll be lurking right under the surface for a long while, ready to poke their heads into the sunlight at the first opportunity. :(

Of course you can't, but that's not the intent of the legislation. It's intent is to protect people from the shitty actions of the "not nice".

The paper is ripe fo pickings this morning.

On a local white supremacy group: http://www.therepublic.com/2017/12/22/l ... ry_letter/
...Is this a veiled attempt by Columbus’ liberal community to paint political conservatives as Nazi sympathizers if they choose not to jump on their ridiculous, politically-correct bandwagon? Could we be witnessing the birth of Columbus’ thought police?
