    I taught school for three decades and I don't want to see kids damaged before they get a chance to have a decent life.

    As a conservative, I just don't find the baker's reasoning at all logical. I just think this is a bunch of insanity on both sides. Make the damned cake and let's stop arguing this stupid point.

    So it's ok for you to accuse others of wanting to legalise pedophillia but you cry or report if they accuse you?

    I dont think you want to legalize pedophilia any more than rational liberals wanted gay marriage 20 years ago

    But when one of your lib pet minorites wants something the rest of libdom obliges

    Yet pedophillia is "legal" in red States as demonstrated by the map of US states showing where child brides are most common. Oklahoma - no minimum age! Texas 13 years old!

    Are you sure? Most small business is actualizing the dream of the owner and money is secondary. A bakery exists because they like to bake. Making money just happens to be a benefit of their craft.

    My thoughts here are that the rest of us should go out and sue those folks suing the bakes, entangle them in endless legal battles to deplete their resources so they can't destroy others.

    I'm against the discrimination but it's unfair they pick on this family shop, they should find a different target.

    I thought this was actually funny because so many of us find that it's the modern education that is damaging the kids....

    So your are an advocate for pedophilia then?

    No one is going to arrest teenagers for having sex.

    Again, when did I say that he was "human waste" BECAUSE he was transgender? You failed to answer this in your last reply.

    You are not winning a y points by accusing me of advocating pedophilia

    Particulsrly since liberals like you will be the ones to cave in to the demands of true pedophiles

    You seem to be, you said if we are not going to make teenagers having sex illegal then child weddings should be legal. I can quote you if you would like.

    I will never be for child rape — the permanent psychological damages to the child alone make me against it.

    What reasons do you have to make homosexuality illegal besides you just don’t like it? I don’t like bigots but I don’t support arresting them all either.

    The anger is not over the gay life style, that's their business, but over of the bullying and harassing of a Christian who refuses to go against his conscience. The gays are reacting towards him the same as the pagan emperors reacted towards the Christians - and we have thousands upon thousands of martyrs and Saints to attest to it.

    The only difference is that the barbarity of the age had them being thrown to the lions or burned on a stake. But we're getting there. It happens when the wrong people are empowered.

    Do you really think that what they're doing to the baker is right?

    I have not expressed support for child marriages

    But I did accuse you and others of supporting sex outside marriage at the the same age you oppose marriage

    So I asked what age should girls have a legal right to engage in sex

    And no lib on this forum could answer me

    Perhaps you assume too much. Just because someone teaches in the system doesn't mean they agree with it. Hint: I support parents being issued with school vouchers. Voucher caveat ... the voucher has to be for enough money that lower income parents can afford to enrol their kids in private schools. That way public schools will be history. A $3k voucher for a low income parents is like tossing a lifesaver 100 feet from a drowning man--he can see it but it's of no use to him.

    As a conservative (who gags on Trump), I agree with you. The gay thing is going to be "history" soon enough. Gay Pride parades will be yawners. Very few people will care if someone is gay. The big thing at some point may be preventing homosexuality if we find out what causes it and learn how to make everyone straight. Should we? Would we?

    Back to the litigants ... both sides are being pissy on our dime. Court fights cost money. Like you said in pink above...

    Or supporting LGBTQ.

    It's a stupid pissing contest now. Both sides made their point. Baker guy should bake the dang two-tone cake and stop being an f'ing prig. LGBTQ official should stop wasting taxpayers' money on a personal agenda. If the LGBTQ people were denied something important that would be another matter. Besides, cake tastes nice, but all that sugar and fat is what Americans shouldn't be eating in the first place.
