    What a half-hearted condemnation! Those red states have made it legal for a 25 year old man to marry the 13 year old girl where undoubtedly sex is involved (when are you going to attack the Republican laws in those red states?) . Yet you think that a 15 year old girl having sex with her 15 year old boyfriend is just as bad. And once again, you have attacked the underage girls but not a word about the male in that relationship. As someone else said, you should seek help

    Yes, I have admitted that in a previous post. They wanted a blue and pink cake signifying transition.

    How do you know its not an adult having sex with a girl out of wedlock?


    Btw, there is a lot of misinformation being posted by liberals about the age of consent in red states

    The lact is there is little or no difference between states contrary to what liberals believe

    Blue states allow 25 year old men to marry 13 year old girls with parental or court consent

    Does that shock you?

    I bet it does

    The difference is that it is in those red states that old men are taking advantage of that law

    A "prig" is a self-righteous, moralistic person.

    The baker ... while he may have a legal right to refuse service to gays, I think he's an ass.

    Suuuuuure don't look like it from here, pilgrim.
    So you don't recognize his right to hold an opinion differing from yours, and to act accordingly.

    Which is sad.
    Yes, obviously the baker should be the one to capitulate, since, after all, conservatism has nothing to do with preserving the values that make this country worth living in, and everything to do with preserving the fraudulent sense of comity that attends the appeasement of insanity. Pretty much got that bang on, haven't I?
    IOW, your support for vouchers is contingent on coupling it with subsidies that will be called vouchers. Got that about right, haven't I?

    The decrease in such people will be accompanied by a decrease in people who care if someone is a pedophile. Enjoy.

    He doesn't have a legal right to refuse service on the basis of sexual orientation, does he?

    Homosexuality isn't a choice and the world has passed you by on the values angle. The idea that embracing same-sex marriage is "insanity" is plain stupid.
    A voucher is a subsidy as is public education in government-run schools, so I don't understand the point you're making about vouchers.

    The reality is that lower- and middle-income parents, typically younger adults just getting started in their working lives, can't afford to educate their children without a subsidy. If we withdraw those subsidies, we'll see the birthrate drop even more and have even more pressure to bring in immigrants.

    If we don't make vouchers for enough money, parents will still be demanding space in government-run schools that are the essence of socialism.
    You don't have to be a prig with an Imaginary Friend to be a conservative.
    A rather stupid claim.

    this was already address above, the answer is no

    your forcing the backer to bake a hateful cake, that is not allowed

    the difference is that cake is hateful... a wedding cake is the same wedding cake regardless who he sells it too

    if you sell a wedding cake to a black couple, it doesn't become a black cake

    if you sell a wedding cake to a inter-racial couple, it doesn't become a inter-racial cake

    if you sell a wedding cake to a intra-gender couple, it doesn't become a intra-gender cake

    it's still the same cake

    why do you want to prevent these children from ever being born?

    the government should not be forcing people to have or not have children

    Actually I thought that you were talking about the original same sex marriage case with the same baker. This is what I said involved no requested message.

    You're a conservative? Aren't you pro-abortion?

    Who cares now?

    A cure for homosexuality? Surely you can't be serious.

    I don't think the left would accept that it would be better if everyone was straight would they?

    I thought you said, "the seller is just selling a cake, the way the customer uses the cake is none of the sellers concern." Well it doesn't matter HOW hateful the cake is, your statement still applies doesn't it?

    Do you read your own links before posting them?

    Here is just one example:

    Massachusetts

    While the general legal age for marriage in Massachusetts is 18, children may be married with judicial consent with no minimum age limit.[22]

    In the absence of any statutory minimum age, one opinion is that the traditional minimum common law marriageable age of 12 for girls and 14 for boys may still be in effect.[23][24] Unlike many other states,[25] in Massachusetts a child's marriage does not automatically emancipate the minor, or increase his or her legal rights beyond allowing the minor to consent to certain medical treatments.[26]
