    1. Give them a direct work order to decorate the cake.
    2. When they refuse, fire them for refusing to comply with a direct work , which is termination for cause.
    This cuts off receiving unemployment payments.

    So despite all your bluster you can't cite a single law that supports your worthless claim.

    Well done figuring out that killing someone is not the same as refusing to bake a cake.

    And you have the audacity to call others dumb.

    Black lives matter is a racialist slogan and has no place in a race neutral workplace environment.

    If I was walmart, I'd stop doing personalized cake decorations. Since walmart is not synonymous with baked goods, it would be a prudent move.

    I understand policies versus the law just fine, it is your side that tends to have an issue with them....hence the cake maker fined, and sent to re education for following their constitutionally protected religious freedom.


    So, lets keep all cakes equal. And no, your murder scenario doesnt work, as the right to life takes 1st slot above and over all others. You sure it's me who has the understanding problem? :wink:

    The right to refuse service isn't a special right for religion. Walmart can refuse to make a cake for someone for any reason they want.

    However walmart makes the call bit the employee. Walmart may fire the employee. Sensitivity training and "re-education" is bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    They'll sue. If they are dumb enough to think a police officer retiring is racist no doubt such a person would think they were fired over race.

    I agree with that, of course I agreed wiht it when it was a baker who didnt want to be part of a Gay Ceremony either. I think some are trying to split a hair to say one was appropriate, but one was not.

    Pretty ignorant statement. I made no claim, else you'd post it. You still can't do this in an adult manner. Why is that?

    Your so ignorant you haven't figured out in the eyes of the laws in some states they are both against the law. Hence both carry some punishment. You need it spelled out? Why do you bother?

    No you don't, and you just proved it yet again. The cake baker in question, broke the laws of their state.
    There is no constitutionally protected religious freedom to do certain things against the law. For their are other constitutionally protected things they and no one else is allowed to do.

    All cakes are equal. It's the idiots who have certain beliefs that aren't equal. That is the entire argument. Baking a cake is bakinga cake. Not a ceremony or taking part in a ceremony.
    And the right to equal treatment takes slot above religious discrimination. Every step you take forward, you take a 1/2 step back.
    I am sure it's you who can't understand.
    Else we'd not be having this debate.

    Hint, baking a cake is not part of any ceremony. The cake may end up at it but baking it isn't any part of the ceremony.

    Except their religious freedom and protection was around long before this leftwing Law was pushed down peoples throats, and does not supercede those protections. Similar to the marriage licenses in another state, in which Religious freedom was not tossed to the side, and she was not forced to give such licenses out.


    Sorry, your first line shows your disconnect. All cakes are NOT equal at all...a Wedding cake is far and away a different cake altogether. It's part of a ceremony, and gets photographed probably as much as the dress. As such the person who bakes it is participating in that ceremony, and for some this is an issue.

    I think you've proven to be on the wrong track if you think a Wedding cake is...just any old cake lol....

    At every wedding I've been to the cake is a big part of it. You are sure to get tons of people inquiring about where you got it and thinking maybe they'll go there too, taking pics of it, and watching the traditional cake smear of course. It certainly is a part of the ceremony. As such this baker would now be getting calls from a market he doesnt want to be involved with, and would have preferrred to simply avoid it.
    They should be able to.

    Very,very sad considering that Wal*mart tries so darn hard to please
    all kinds of people.They definitely aren't in the snob business,like
    say Starbucks.I think it was some kind of goal of Obama.
    To go after certain companies that do well.Like How dare they.
    Knowing that back in the early 90's before she was First Lady,
    Hillary Clinton was on the Board at Wal*Mart.
    This goes hand-in-hand with how Obama is diligently attempting to
    take over big city Police Dept.Like he's done to our Military.

    You can be dishonest if you like. I have your own words to back me up.

    You said:

    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.

    And I challenged you:

    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.

    And what a shocker, you could'nt do it. Now, what part in directly quoting you did I make up?

    Yet you still can't even cite the law that supports you. Care to tell us why? See your word on what the law is that you claims supports you means nothing if you can't even cite it.

    More lefty,Loony,Ludicrous nuttiness that's supposed to pass muster.
    That somehow a Baker is in league with a wedding ceremony because he
    DECORATED a Wedding cake.It's not the Baking but the Decorating.
    What's next to discriminate against certain names.
    Oh ... The left has already gotten around to that.
    Attempting to ban in public grade school words like Mommy and Daddy.
    Mom and Dad.

    Fire them. Then they can join the protesters declaring they are victims of white privilege. BUT fire them in a way to they do NOT receive unemployment benefits. If WalMart does not fire them, this should be interpreted as WalMart being anti-police and warranting a boycott.

    Says the single guy/gal.


    Know what one of the most common questions is for your Wedding Cake maker?

    http://www.brides.com/blogs/aisle-say/2014/05/questions-to-ask-your-cake-baker-before-booking.html

    http://www.herecomestheguide.com/we...ons-to-ask-a-potential-wedding-cake-designer/

    Is that table at the bakers shop, or is it at the ceremony? It's a VERY common question which is recommended to be asked to your prospective baker for a reason. Now still want to pretend that this is just one of a bunch of cakes a guy makes and someone comes and grabs it? Like any other cake?

    Nonsense from the left as always.

    NOPE, that kind of so called "equal protection" only applies to governments favorite selected groups and the police aren't one of those groups. INEQUALITY by design. Unless they happened to be gay cops, THEN their bias against police would simply be presumed to instead be bias against gays, and they could likely be sued for 100s of1000s of dollars.

    Hang on. It doesn't directly involve that hypocritical (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) but it's kind of the same principal. Difference: she took an oath... The bakers didn't.

    Everyone should go to Wal-Mart and order some cop and gay cakes. Maybe even order some gay cop wedding cakes. Then write about their experiences.

    Doesn't matter. You either conform to new laws or you pay the consequences. I remember a time when auto insurance wasn't required. Guess what, now we are forced to buy auto insurance. Comply or pay the consequences.
    Many laws are pushed down our throats. Don't like it, work to get it changed.

    And yes, the new law supercedes those protections. Else slavery would still be legal. Women couldn't vote.

    Other than a decoration, what is different? Pretty much the same ingredients. I guess you are much of a baker or cook.
    The cake is part of a ceremony as was the police officers cake. A ceremony of retirement.
    Baking the cake is not part of the ceremony. No where is the baker of the cake known about by photographs. They don't sign the thing.

    Baking a wedding cake is any old cake. Just different decorations.
