Sure it is. We're talking about a specific, nation-wide business. In the case of the pizza place that was vilified for not wanting to host a gay wedding party, or the bakery that didn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, we're talking about a business that made that choice not to serve a...

If I were a strict Baptist fundamentalist, it would be against my beliefs to sell alcohol. I've been in churches where members were "advised" to stop working in places where such things were sold. So the law should allow a Christian to refuse to sell a product as well. If it's proved that...

John - I don't think that says what you meant it to say. Would you clarify, please?

Rolf - give Darrell a while to "experience" John.

Rev, I understand what you're trying to say; but this is only really news if a Christian decides they don't want to sell alcoholic beverages at Wal-mart, particularly the same Wal-mart, and are told to do it anyway.

Then why didn't any others present run? Or are you postulating that he was the only one that thought he might be hurt or killed?

Didn't ask you.

If you visit the parade grounds in Baghdad, you'll notice the giant crossed swords; and you'll notice the bags of helmets from Iranian soldiers at the base of each sword; and you might even notice that the parade ground is bumpy instead of flat, like most other parade grounds. This is because...

Blessedwife: why do you continue?

My apologies; that "challenge" wasn't just for you, but I failed to identify my intended audience: everyone, including myself.

The practice continues into today. Those that have been fortunate enough to spend some time in the Middle East and actually become familiar with their lives and lifestyles, understand that dogs are still considered beggars and those that steal scraps; and those that pisseth against the wall have...

Why would it be an illegal stop-and-frisk? The report was that they were patrolling, and he ran away; thereby raising suspicion. Why'd he run away if he wasn't doing anything wrong? Upon stopping him, they then took safety precautions--i.e., searched him. It's standard procedure. What you...

What about them?

Folks, I think Scarlet and Ann pretty much nailed it. And by the way: I especially agree with Scarlet on the point about "vulgar verses." There are no vulgar verses, unless you want to call God's Word "vulgar."

To put it in perspective: Alpha is the lowest, Delta is the highest. So even though they're in Bravo, they still have Charlie before they get to Delta. So -- Bravo, not that big a deal.

Wow. Totally missed the point. If you'll recall, she had a brother who ran really fast. He also was bad, but turned good. So I guess we should conclude that running is something we should avoid? She doesn't practice witchcraft; they said more than once that her powers were mind-based. The...

At some point, when I get more time, I'd like to look at some specifics. For example, this was reported by MSNBC; who actually conducted the poll? What was the demographic of the people polled? Where were they located? By that I mean, if it was conducted by MSNBC personnel, and they polled...

The specificity of words...sometimes Van is right. Who's not letting them into the church? When "church" is used in this context, are we speaking of the gathering place, or the universal body of believers? If we're talking about either, what does that have to do with baking them a cake...

Read it from scripture, no problem. Say it without scripture; is it a sin?

The French Gendarmerie and the Italian Carabinieri are examples of what Sharpton, and now RD2, are referencing. They fulfill both military and civilian police functions; i.e., militarized police. The Carabinieri, who I have personal experience with, are sharply divided. The military side...
