    The problem is I got sucked into arguing with someone who is beneath me.

    Do you care what happens to anyone but yourself? Do you care about your family, your mother, your neighbor....where is the line drawn for you?

    Got any opinions of the Taliban, or ISIS?

    What argument? It was over when you compared this to Sharia law.

    Of course I care. Why do you ask ?

    My commentary was mostly intended as a counter to the same tactic being used by many who oppose homosexuality in general. Though is less extreme than the marrying animals diatribe or the pedophelia garbage. At the minimum it is based on a known reality leading to possibility.

    While I think the law is stupid and antiquated I am curious if its true that 19 other states already have this law why Indiana is being singled out. If it is true then the people protesting it obviously don't really care that much about the issue and this is just a chance to attack a GOP governor.

    Yes, and you've continued to demonstrate your ignorance.

    Sharia law doesn't really have anything to do with executions conceptually.

    Sharia law is a law based on religion.

    This law is based on religion.

    They are teh same.

    I am not replying any more though.

    That's exactly what I see happening.

    All of a sudden, this one matters.

    The "will never affect me" part ?

    I mean I will likely never walk into your place of business. What would the odds of that be ?
    I didn't mean the whole "they came for the Jews and I did nothing" routine.

    So...
    If your business survives despite your decisions, then congrats.

    If it fails.... then I'm sorry, and you either:

    a) have learned and will adjust.
    ...or...
    b) were never forced to serve Christians ...so their is satisfaction in that.

    Actually it was do to the "I don't Care" part....thus my questions:
    Good to know you do not care if it does not effect you personally....your mother must be proud.

    I am not saying this practice would be good for our country, neither do I consider gay marriage to be a good as well. As long as this legislation reflects the will of the American voters you - no matter how much you despise it - have no right to criticize their choice. The majority has spoken, that's what democracy is all about.

    Funny how the Indy haters have turned this into a racial issue when it is a religious issue. I didn't know the bill contained a racial component.

    A law that is based on religion is the same as Sharia law.

    This law excludes all people who do not have a religion.

    I'm sure my mom wouldn't care... if I care how you run your business.

    So the south should not have been intergrated because the majority of people in those states opposed it?

    They will desperately bring in anything they can to support their silly arguments.

    Examples so far: Sharia law... and my mother.

    BINGO. We have a bingo. There are hotels in the Keys in Fl. that are allowed to discriminate against heteros. Gay only guests allowed.

    Why anyone would embarrass themselves by trying to compare this to Sharia law, even when they've had the chance to backpedal, is beyond me.

    Sharia law is literally a religious law... full of punishment and hatred.

    This law is a governmental low that simply allows people to act based on their own religious beliefs.
    Punishment is not allowed. Nor is it part of this. Nor was it ever wished to be a part of this.

    Only ignorance would cause someone to claim a law that directs people to kill gays, is "the same" as a law that keeps people from forcing a business to provide for them.

    But....

    In with the "hell yes" before it's removed.

    Okay then...perhaps the outcry is not whining any more than it would be if a law was passed that said Atheists could decide not to serve Christians whenever they wished. Personally, I would speak out against such a law being allowed even though it will obviously never effect me personally, nor would it touch my family other than my Dad.

    Did the Red Party ever meet an American they didn't hate?

    You can slap any title on this law that you want. In the end, it's a law that says one person is allowed to mistreat another person. It's a law that tries to put a group of people into the status of second class citizens. It's a law that says freedom isn't for everybody. It's a law that is un-American, just like the Red Party is un-American.

    If you Reds are sick of being called bigots then work on it. Try to fix the severe mental problems that exist in the average Republican instead of whining about how everyone is intolerant of your intolerance. Here's something that'll help you. The next time you see a gay couple and want to hate them, just pretend that they're one of your Chinese communist business partners.

    One look at the picture in the OP tells everyone what the Red Party is really angry about. The protesters are carrying signs that say things like "rights" and "liberty," two words that a "law and order" Republican just can't stand to hear.
