SERIOUSLY!?!?

I MEAN SERIOUSLY!?!?!?

WHY
You could easily sabotage this bill. Just get someone to go in front of the Washington legislature and talk about how they want it passed because they shouldn't have to provide business to Christians.

Quote
The bill also notes that it does not allow the denial of services to anyone who is considered a protected class under federal law. Race, religion and disability are all protected classes under federal law, but LGBT people are not.

So that's why British people are so... enthusiastic about almost everything o_o
Is this for serious?
I have been misunderstanding Americans for just about my entire life.
The American meaning is quite (American version) correct.
I am actually having a hard time reformatting this to make sense how you want it to. I wish I'd just never seen that image, so that I could continue in mildly baffled ignorance.

SERIOUSLY!?!?

I MEAN SERIOUSLY!?!?!?

WHY
Why do most of the nations in the western world make national decisions by assembling a room full of hundreds of sociopaths again?

Fine, replace "Christians" with "heterosexuals". Not quite as good, but it should still work.

Spent 45 minutes compressing 2.9GB of files. The resulting file was larger than the uncompressed files.

So much for making a backup of all these damn Oblivion mods.

Wait a second. It supposed to allow discrimination on the basis of religious belief, but cannot do so to people of "protected classes", including those of religious belief. How the hell does that?

You can discriminate on the basis of what your religion believes, but not against someone's religious beliefs.

Comparing one of my early forts to my current one.  Most of the differences arise from not having the economy in game.  My shopping bazaar in 40d simply can't be duplicated in 2012, unfortunately.

"Good people of the United States of America.
Today I bring you a proposal to allow people with religious or philosophical beliefs against heterosexual people to deny service to heterosexual people."

I would like to see how well that would blow over.

I would be selling popcorn. Assuming that the GLBT snack food cartels didn't try to deny me service for having no evidence that I had any sort of sexual interests.  :P

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
