As I thought I understood it from what was being said here, people fitting in had been going on for decades. That being the case I can't see why any adjustment in the laws was needed.
The first thing I heard about all this was that the mayor of Houston was putting a law in place to open public restrooms to transgender people. If people had been fitting in for decades why was this necessary?
You're the one who can't judge the videos, they aren't that difficult. If you don't like what I post suspend me. Otherwise I know what the videos are about even if you don't, so I'll post them. Somebody will get it though you and most others here won't because you don't want to. If you aren't going to suspend me stop complaining about what I post. You are doing what Horowitz described as a Godzilla attack (8:20 - 11:+?), morally denouncing someone instead of arguing a point. You are acting just like all Leftists act on this. Message 157, Message 171, maybe I lost track of one.
Why do I have to put up with opinions about me personally that I find so odious and false? Who do you think you are?
The videos show very few women and children. One after another shows young men involved in violent acts, running through the streets, assembled en masse. Some are on audio calling for the destruction of Europe in Arabic. The problem is simply that you don't want to believe it, you want to believe the propaganda that says all is well. I wonder when the truth will finally hit you. Yes you do have to put some trust in the video makers and I guess you won't do that. People are taking pictures with their cameras trying to get the information out. How are they going to be convincing with someone like you? What evidence could they provide under the circumstances? All they can do is take the pictures and tell you what they are pictures of.
I don't even know the "religion" of these people you say? Again, you do have to believe what the video maker is saying. I see no reason for anyone to make this up but of course the Left has to think it isn't true so they must have made it up. Anyway, this video shows a lot of Arabic talk about destroying Europe, a lot of "Allahu Akbar" and that sort of thing. And the crowds are all young men. / / /
But nobody has ever told gays they can't patronize a Christian business, and this lie just keeps getting falsely repeated. What Chrsitians cannot do is validate gay marriage, period. THAT's the only thing Christians can't do for gays , and for which they are asked to get it elsewhere. There are also gays who agree with this.
Fine, we're bigots. Who cares any more what the idiot left call us? We know it's lies. God knows it's lies. Some day you'll know it too. The point remains: Christian businesses do not refuse gays because they are gay, they only refuse to do anything to validate a gay marriage.
I don't know. Doesn't a business have a right to refuse service for whatever reason they want?
But all I'm ever talking about is the effect of the legalizing of gay marriage on Christian businesses who won't honor it, because they took away that right from us. No reason for refusing service has been claimed, again, but special services for gay weddings.
Finally thinking it through, if their reasoning was that the Bible calls homosexual sex a sin and they don't want to be in th position of contributing to homolsexual sex, which of course a hotel would be in a way that a bakery or florist or photographer wouldn't, then I'd say yes the English courts are wrong, the hotel owners should not be required to violate their Christian conscience.
I didn't know there were other possible violeations of the Bible to be taken into account, all I ever had in mind was the effect of the legalization of gay marriage, which has had devastating effects on some Chrristian businesses.
So you introduced a completely new area where the Bible also applies that I hadn't thought of. How gays live their lives doesn't affect Christians in most situations but you made me aware that it can in the case of a hotel.
Doesn't the sex thing rather define the sexuality though ? In other words, isn't it like saying that racial discrimination is ok, if it's done on the grounds of someone's skin colour ?
No, it's on the basis of what God says and God has affirmed that all human beings are equal, all descended from the same parents.
If I've said anything even half as personally condemnatory of anyone as Percy said to me, I apologize. I'm happy to condemn liberal/leftist crapola, but not people.
That headline is of course fake news. Did you know there are whole made-up "newspapers" online these days for the purpose of denigrating Trump.
Skimming the article I see single individuals saying things the headline makes sound like they are the theme of the whole event rather than individual opinions. I don't even know fi I should believe any individual said those things, but assuming that much, the headline is a gross misrepresentation. "Deportation of Jews?" A thirteen year old said protestors should be deported, even if "she" is Jewish. Is that headline a fair representation of that? One man lost it and said he couldn't wait for the genocide of the liberals. One man. The headline suggests that was the theme of the whole march.
The Liberal "resistance" to Trump is unprecedented in American politics.; They are way out of line and Trump supporters are rightly fed up. And this whole article is just another way of drumming up hatred for Trump supporters too. It's no wonder we're sick and tired of the totalitarian Left.
Google it. This is really scummy dirty tricks politics.
AlterNet is a liberal activist news service and a project of the non-profit Independent Media Institute that Launched in 1998. Very strong left wing bias.
