    Let's use your logic once again.
    So, your son/daughter refuses to do homework, the teacher should stop teaching them.

    They can't just complain to the store management, they need to take it to Bentonville, Wal-Mart's corporate HQ.

    It's been said ad nauseum. Decorating a stinking cake is not participating in anything except a business transaction. It is not participating in any wedding or any other ceremony a cake might be eaten at.
    People shouldn't be so dumb.

    Nope, you don't get it. Not surprising.
    Refusing to do one's job is not breaking a law. Therefore no fines.
    Unless getting fired for showing up late to work or missing an assignment is also fined.
    So, a RWer, who hates big gov't, wants to fine people(gov't) for not doing their job. I knew RWers were liars.

    Not sure if you are confused or dishonest.
    A business operates in a state with a state issued business license. Per the issuance of the license, they agree to abide by all state laws.
    If they can't do that, they don't accept the license and open a business.
    And they are there to serve everyone that the law says they must serve. Now if someone doesn't like gays, they need to state a different reason to not serve them. And being christian, in most cases, they would never lie?

    It's as racist as baking a cake for a gay couple getting married is to participating in the ceremony.
    IE, it's not.

    This is too funny!!! It's flown over everyone's head. All you have to do is go to Wal-Mart and order a cop cake. If you get what you ordered without any hassle then there's no problem. If you get a load then you too can whine about it and sue. You might win the jackpot.

    So, you think the cake decorators should make a cake for the police officer's retirement ceremony. Got it!

    Yes, and for the wedding ceremony.
    How about you, should they have baked the cake for the wedding ceremony, for the gay couple?

    That's odd. In my country, the police only issue fines and tickets to people who do something wrong.

    Something is clearly very wrong with our police force, if only those breaking laws are attracting fines and tickets.

    Hooray for fascism through coercion. This is exactly how segregation was pushed to the private businesses. Without government control, the free market would correct the injustices that the population sees much faster than the government will ever be able to move.

    The law states religious freedom, some would say the religious bakery had a valid case.

    Cake makers at Walmart refusing to do a cake because they think the cake is "racist" have no such protection.


    They should be Fired, and sent to re-education camps.

    `
    An "at will" employee can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. Refusal to perform your duties isn't a "crime" per se, but it is definitely a terminable offense. Political speech is not a protected right while at work. If a terminated employee wishes to file a charge of "racism", they have the "burden of proof" which is why most of these cases never go to court.

    Just fire them. Why would you keep employees that are that stupid?

    They're as dumb as a box of rocks.

    I'm sure we would all love it if you can quote the law that states a person with a business must work with anyone and cannot ever refuse service.

    You might want to be careful about the dumb comments.

    Absolutely not. Religious freedom is actually listed in the Constitution as a right. Homosexuality is never once mentioned anywhere. If its that important to you the lawful way to force your fascism on religious folks is to draft and approve an amendment. But dishonest liberals don't want to follow the actual process because they don't have the support. That's why you use the courts.

    Progressives want to say this is the exact same thing as a private business not wanting to make a cake for a gay wedding. Well you can't make that comparison because one is a private business and the other is an employee trying to speak for a business he or she does not own.

    Walmart did not make that policy, and their employee MUST abide by the rules of Walmart that they agreed to as a condition of employment.

    An employee can not make up their own rules, and if they have a problem they need to speak to upper management before they make a decision.

    Walmart is not accountable for this as they did not instruct their employee to make that decision.


    Now with that said, had Walmart backed their employees decision then just like private businesses that will not make a cake for a gay wedding, then I would be cool again with simply letting the public decide if c that decision will make or break them.

    Fair enough. When I think of Walmart, I don't think of bakery.

    Whatever. No one is forced to live in this country. People are, for the most part, free to come and go.
    If the free market(joke) could correct itself, then it would've back in the 1950s/60 with blacks having to have a separate everything. But racism would not go away and the free market only encouraged it.
    The free market also nearly destroyed our water and air.

    Then that would be the same as not prosecuting anyone who kills another because of religious freedom. Again, I don't think you get it.
    So you would seem to be fine with a muslim yelling allah akubar and shooting a bunch of people.

    At least you dropped the fined part. They should only be sent to reeducation camps if Walmart demands it as a condition to remain employed.
    You still don't understand company policies vs the law. But you're getting there.

    I don't think you're smart enough to grasp this topic.
    And I never said anyone, now you resort to making stuff up.

    Come back when you want to discuss as an adult.

    "Who cares" is your intellectual masterpiece?

    As has been said ad nauseum and you still can't grasp it, baking a cake has nothing to do with religion or any ceremony.
    Get educated before posting.
    And does religious freedom include yelling allah akubar and shooting people?
    Why not? Oh because it's against the law to kill? And discrimination of certain groups of people is against the law in some states.
