Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Another teacher has been caught for having sex with 2 of her students at different times. She also sent nude text messages to the two students as well as another that she wasn’t having sex with. A WSJ writer published an op-ed about how detrimental drunken sex is to young men that get accused of rape, and that drunk women should own up to their part of the blame in irresponsible sex that sometimes gets men falsely accused of rape. A proudly bigoted owner of a restaurant in Oklahoma took part in a news report about his establishment being racist and homophobic. After the report became public, many people reviewed his place on Yelp and labelled it the best gay bar in town. An attorney for a Conservative group of bigoted business owners that wants to discriminate against gay clients points out that forcing them to serve everyone violates their freedom of religion. In disputing this attorney’s claim that Christians are being persecuted, Ana gives the real numbers behind violence against gay Americans.
A 17 year old has been arrested for stealing $36,000 from a WalMart after posing as an employee with access to the cash room. He wasn’t busted after the first time, so he tried it again last month, where he was taken into custody. An official in Thailand is worried about young people’s obsession with taking and posting selfies online. If they don’t get enough “likes” for their postings, they lose a significant amount of self esteem, which could lead to the future leaders of the country not having the confidence to take the country further. A female FL Highway Patrol officer stopped an off duty police officer for speeding at 120 mph, which led to him losing his job. His fellow officers were upset about her actions toward their colleague, so they began constantly harassing her at her home.

The onus should be on the business doing the discrimination to validate that they are indeed doing it out of religious conviction. If the claim is based on the belief that every word in the bible was put there by God, the self righteous business owner must show that he follows the bible by stoning people who do work on the Sabbath or eat at Red Lobster. In other words, he should not be able to cherry pick which Biblical admonitions he wishes to honor, while ignoring others, no matter how silly.
Very happy to see the old post format back.
Jayar, thanks for bringing up the point that it is B.S. that you can deny service based on religion or moral objection.
Having a business in this country is a privilege not a right, its a privilege to use the roads, bridges, traffic signal and mail services, these services are paid by all of us, you don’t have the right to discriminate if you run a business in this country and use these services, period!
Not everyone in the country has multiple options for service, as Jayar mentioned, if your wounded or suffering; businesses are obligated to serve you, their prescribed capacity is to refer or request help in life threating situations, if business could discriminate they would be exempted from providing this service and others.
Thank you for putting this back to the old style but now I don’t know what I have watched again. Oh well not a big deal. I hope you read all the comments before doing this.
jayar hit the nail on the head
