Not exactly funny, either. They did nothing wrong. You think they should be punished ? Why, exactly?

I wonder if they left would be offended if they said they'd refuse to cater a Nazi wedding?

Quote: I know of one tweet but even if there are more, it's just talk. What did these people think was going to happen when they started to spread their own brand of hate? They thrust themselves into the discussion just like those tweeting them now. They are no different than those tweeting back to them.

And they never did spread any sort of hate. They made pizza. The 'hate' came looking for them, and singled them out. Now I know you're a troll if you think they are no different than those who threatened them.

Quote:Originally posted by OLDGUY: ok..first hand situation here....I own a small business.. I'm a conservative Christian...married to the same gal for 38 years, raise 4 of my own, and 5 grandkids...always worked hard at day job and side business to build as good a life as possible. I admit to making jokes that are racial and anti-gay in the privacy of my own home with my wife...however we were determined when we had kids that we would raise them to be better than we were..certainly better than our parents at being "respecters of persons". My kids dated blacks, have had the closest of friends be maid of honor etc in their wedding who were black...and I have 2 very dear friends who are definitely wired to their same sex..and I would stand up to defend them against hate if it came into their face in my presence. but I do find myself disgusted when I see flamers interjected into movie scripts etc where they simply don't even fit..or are used for some sort of sick humor moment that might have the gay boys rolling on the floor with laughter, but i sure don't get the humor....same with some of the major black actors who just can't seem to make a movie without some ancient racial comments.. Will Smith being a perfect example...jeeze Dude..get over it! so I set all this up to say.. I'm not claiming to be anything different from the gays and blacks who have their own slang/slurs for middle aged white straight guys like me... now...people come to my shop to rent a product from me...if they have the $ and the security deposit and proper ID...out the door it goes...but that's different from when they ask me to take my equipment to their events.. the 2 times that I've been tricked into working a major gay rally event...they customers approached us, calling it other than it was..cause they knew the challenge in getting vendors to work their event. Once i was obligated..yes.. I honored my contract...basically cause I knew how heavily lawyered up these people are... what i found as we pulled up, was we had to load through a wall of hate filled christians with protest signs, singing on their acoustic guitars and making it very uncomfy for us to make our way to the stage area. we also had the local news camera crews happy to stick their camera and mic in our face as we tried to do our job...now we are publicly exposed. then we get to stage and the day always runs the same...a hanful of chubby girls take turns standing on stage like some AA meeting, blubbering in tears as they confess their lesbo feelings...and then the boys take the stage...all dressed up like hookers in their heels, doing their best lewd routines...yeah..I feel real proud as I stand stage side at these "PRIDE" events...I'd go to the porta john to throw up, but there's 2 lesbo's occupying it as they felt they just couldn't wait any longer to gratify their new found freedoms... look... I'm not supporting this bakery gal cause i'm some middle aged white straight guy.. I'm saying I believe she was right...if they came in to order a batch of bbq to take out for their gay event
Quote: ...fine..make the dang bbq and say thank you as they walk out your front door...but asking a Christian family...ie if it were my wife, daughters...to take the food to the event....stand around while we get to watch a couple boys swap spit..or in our case..get really crude in drag....no...as business owner should not be forced into that. btw.. I refuse biker rallies for the same reason... I don't need to be around abunch of pot smoking, wet tshirt oil wrestling crap all weekend. but now..pot is legal so am I supposed to be forced to go work those events? oh ..and there's a coven of wikens...didn't realize it was so big in the prisons..but they come out ready to play here in town...... you get my point...why does gay trump faith? only because it's the hot new trend... if you want to argue that it is somehow genetic and therefore needs tobe protected...ok..fine..bring it... cause that simply means that if it is truly in our wiring..then you are saying that a guy can be so attracted to another guy that he yearns to have sex with him....then you also have to acknowledge that as desireable as it is for that genetic makeup..it's equally as disgusting in my gut to a guy like me who is wired as a hetro. so i deserve the same protection under the law. either way... I'm not a hater...I firmly believe if 2 men or 2 women want to make a committment to each other...they should, under the law, be allowed to visit in the hospital, have community property..etc...but the law can provide for that, without calling it "marriage" ...when you do that, you are forcing the State's version of religion on me.. my religion..not a cult..but a major religion as defined by all govts...has nothing good to say about LGBT activities..and I do not consider this new Marriage law..to be "marriage" I can not in concience...acknowledge, nor support it as such...and the more they try to shove it down my throat...and override my rights and faith..the more they make me an enemy instead of a proponent...you firefly folks..you should get that ....

Would you say the same if they refused to serve a Black wedding party, or a Hispanic wedding party. Refusing service is discrimination PERIOD as you yanks say. Why should it be allowed? This is just sad.

Look up the meaning of 'discrimination'
