Said the one who is deflecting and being laughed at by everyone else because he put his foot in his mouth.

says the guy who wont extrapolate upon these other issues that arose from the Civil Rights act of 1957 and the subsequent ones leading to today; to support his lament that it's the downfall of society.

Gladly

Step 1.) Don't. imo things are pretty bad, but it's better to -do- something than just sit on a forum all day debating. If you're really driven, go do something about it. I'm not driven, I stopped caring because this isn't the first pos thing a state has done, or hell for that matter, when WBBC was allowed by the federal govt to picket despite the fact that people in the nation were calling them a hate group.

Damn.

Quote:
"Last night, lawmakers in Mississippi passed SB 2681, an Arizona-style "right to discriminate" bill that would allow individuals and businesses to refuse to serve people or groups if they claimed that treating them equally would "substantially burden" their "exercise of religion."
The measure grants wide latitude for people and businesses to pick and choose who they want to serve, as long as they say they're doing it on religious grounds. Even "laws 'neutral' toward religion may burden religious exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with religious exercise," the bill asserts.
The Washington Blade reports:
In a development that largely went unnoticed on the national stage, the State House and Senate on the same day both approved a conference report for S.B. 2681, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The vote in the Republican-controlled House was 78-43 and the vote in the Republican-controlled Senate vote was 38-14.
The bill now goes to conservative Republican Governor Phil Bryant, who is widely expected to sign it into law. If he does, the measure will take effect on July 1.
SB 2681's language is broad, and its sponsor -- Baptist minister and Republican State Senator Phillip Gandy -- has been careful not to specifically mention LGBT people in his public comments about the bill. But wink-and-a-nod remarks like one, from an interview Gandy gave to conservative Christian website OneNewsNow.com makes the bill's intent perfectly clear:
Sen. Gandy adds that it is not a reflection of the advances homosexual activists have made in pushing Christians into the closet.
"We are asked to be tolerant of many things," the lawmaker accounts, "and all we're asking for is some understanding and tolerance of our beliefs as well, that we would not be placed under an undue burden to do something that would violate our religious freedoms and our religious beliefs."

Linky


Thoughts on this?

This topic was touched upon with the discrimination of LGBT via a baker and photographer. Businesses by law already have the full capability to discriminate their customers as they choose via "private club" status.

This simply extends the ability to discriminate customers "right to refuse service to anyone" to all businesses.

Do you have any idea how stupid you look when you blatantly state Intolerance and bigotry are wrong, but its ok to not tolerate bigotry of a certain kind. Double standard much?

This has nothing to do with private clubs. You can't be a place of public accommodation while exempting yourself from anti-discrimination laws. This will get drop kicked by the first court to hear it and the people who think they're being denied religious rights can continue to feel persecuted.
