    I really hesitate at the use of "creativity", and that word could be used in so many ways, which could then support either side of the argument depending on the use. That why I make the point of content used in creation. I don't have to have "creativity" to follow instructions on how to bake a cake, or more importantly for the issue, to add specific content, be it ingredients or wording or images, to a product.

    Writing a recipe is a creative process. I agree that using the recipe is not creative but the decision was meant to protect the recipe writer, not the user.

    Sure bud: Masterpiece cakeshop.
    Same analysis.
    You'd know that if you were at all familiar with this current case or any other case like it.

    Maybe you should READ the ruling and find out eh? Perish the thought.

    I was thinking more along the lines that someone using the recipe can say that they are not using onions, if for some reason they object to onions, or to reject the recipe altogether even if the customer wants them to use the recipe.

    Just because God made some women to love women and some men to love men does not make these people "Pedophiles and Human Traffickers" .. similarly - Just because we have so many pedophile Priests .. does not make all followers of the Lord Pedophiles and Human Traffickers.

    This is very twisted logic Brother Todd .. not something the Lord and Savior would condone ... from the dark path comes such thoughts.

    Your logic skills have been showing to lacking.. I am heterosexual... does that mean all my heterosexual based activity is aurtomatically condoned by God? Who are you to speak for God? We have the Bible for that, which, if you understood it, would oint out your prideful avatar here is a major sin.. in fact I think Pride is the one that Satan committed resulting in the Fall

    Never said anything about heterosexual activities being condoned by God so why are you pretending I did .. then claiming logid faults ? .. and where do I speak for God .. another falsehood on your part Brother Todd ..

    You were told that the Lord and Savior would not condone your fallacy and dark illogic - wanting to punish one person for the sins of another .. verboten not only Jesus .. but God as well .. as per the Bible .. which obviously you don't understand .. but now projecting this failing of yours onto others as is the way of the path of deception.

    Talk about being ****ing stupid, transgender people "identify" as either a male or a female so according to her stupidity they're welcome in her salon.

    “I have no issues with LGB,” she wrote. “It’s the TQ+ that I’m not going to support.”

    Claiming 10's of thousands of people are "pedophiles" and "animals" therefore she won't serve them certainly looks like defamation lawsuits could be in the works.

    'Michigan Salon Owner Refuses to Serve LGBTQ+ Community Because of Pedophiles 'Pedophiles

    Source: The Advocate

    Some members of the LGBTQ+ community have been banned from a hair salon in Michigan in a breathtaking display of ignorance and bigotry.

    The owner of Studio 8 Hair Lab, Christine Geiger, said in a Facebook post that she is exercising her right to free speech by refusing specific customers her services. She also compared gender-diverse people to animals, the Kansas City Starreports.

    If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman, please seek services at a local pet groomer,” urged the hair salon owner. “You are not welcome at this salon. Period.”

    The salon’s Facebook page was later deleted, and its Instagram profile was set to private. A description of the business on Instagram says it is “A private CONSERVATIVE business that does not cater to woke ideologies.”

    I can't recall Democrats storming the White House or doing what Trump did when Al Gore lost the election as close as he did can you? When was the last time a Democrat demanded someone have an abortion?

    First off I am talking about Trump. Stop deflecting and referring to Republicans.Trump is a fascist cult leader. To try claim he is no different than Biden or Obama is a joke. That is what I am talking about TRUMP. No he is not Mitt Romney or other Republicans who do not support him.

    Nice try at moving the goal posts. You said "The people who argue anti discrimination laws." A lot more people than Trump argue them.

    I can't recall the Republicans putting a murderer or a child molester back in office like Kennedy or Stubbs. I can't recall a Republican register dead people to get votes like Kennedy. I can't recall a Republican attorney general using their office to falsify information against a candidate in order to get their supporter elected.

    Democrats spent four years attacking the Trump administration based on fraudulent evidence and lies-stuff they knew was fraudulent and dishonest. Trump is a boor=no doubt, but he at least was competent as a president in terms of the state of the nation. Biden is equally corrupt-much more stupid and totally incompetent

    How about you go back to counting the votes of the 2020 elections with your fraudulent evidence claims? lol
    In the meanwhile Trump is a convicted sexual predator. And his henchmen got send to jail / disbarred from office etc.
    And it's not as if Trump is legally out of the woods. Far from it.

    You don't get convictions in civil court. Also, Biden's daughter said she has been seeking psychiatric help for a very long time due to trauma she endured from inappropriate showers with her father.

    really-so he was found GUILTY of a criminal charge of sexual assault? or are you confusing a civil verdict which has a mere preponderance of evidence vs guilty beyond a reasonable doubt

    smart people understand that civil verdicts are NOT A CONVICTION

    lol
    You asked me if he got convicted, as if he never was. And now you realized your error, that you causally forgot he is a convicted sexual predator, you're moving the petty goalpost around. That Trump got caught lying about that he never met her didn't really help. As well as the witness.

    Quoted for the laughs and posterity. The only person who made an error here is you. Why do you keep falsely claiming Trump was convicted of sexual assault? Do you understand the difference between civil and criminal court? Do you understand the difference between criminal charges and suing someone for money?

    A conviction is a conviction.
    oh how the tables got turned from the GOB mocking Biden how he makes women uncomfortable. But in the meanwhile they got the stain, bragging he can sexually assault women and get away with it too... except he did not get away with it. That immigrant bimbo of a nude model he married must be thrilled.

    what court convicted him

    are you so ignorant of the difference between a civil finding versus a criminal CONVICTION

    I'll take YES for 2000 Ken
    you clearly don't understand the difference between a civil VERDICT and a criminal CONVICTION

    there are only two possible explanations for this level of mendacity from one of our Trump hating zealots

    1) he hasn't a clue between a civil VERDICT vs a CRIMINAL COURT CONVICTION

    2) or he is lying

    I suspect it is the first explanation. I don't think he has any understanding of the court system

    Of course he was. I'm not interested in the technicalities as if the entire court case doesn't count.
    I spot you're cussing me around as if I am a "Trump hating zealots" showing us that you think the court case doesn't count or something. But it does. 5 millions bucks that the stain must pay, says so. And it's awkward to say the least that such a sexual predator gets so much support in general, and that includes the likes of you, obviously.

    He is known to enter dressing rooms where 15 year old girls change clothes. It's a perv. He also knew Epstein likes them young. So they had a hobby. And with all this talk about the LGBTQ+ being a bunch of pervs and groomers. That stain is exactly that what you lot accused the LGBTQ+ of doing. But you lot look the other way, exactly the way it was done to pedo priests for decades.
