    Now, you see, that’s brilliant wit—using an antagonist’s premise to defeat him with his own absurdity. Not all can do it well. You did. A nod of the head to you.

    I am not an economic system with rhetoric to destroy another economic system with propaganda.

    Your statement was if capitalist didn't have to use other peoples money. Everyone uses other people's money that IS our economic system. The majority of low incomes families lively hood revolves around using other peoples money!

    the baker was trying to dictate who people could love and marry - exactly the same thing

    the bank can use the same argument, they can go to another bank if they don't like being discriminated against based on race or gender

    No he wasn’t—the baker was stating, as a free man, I decide who I will or will not exercise my craft for.

    And then the Left showed it’s true nature and went and got the government’s gun to rid him of his delusion of individual autonomy.

    With the government’s gun pointed at the baker’s head, this is what the Left said:”You are not a sovereign independent entity. You a member of society, and Society rules your life. You will bake that cake for those we decide need your service, not for those you choose according to your judgement. Your mind is ours to do with as we will. Don’t forget it”.

    That’s evil, pure and simple. And any with fidelity to reality will condemn it. I do.

    As I do this GS social justice obscenity.

    They are giving rights for everyone to run the company not only white straight males, that's my understanding about the issue.

    same as the bank, the bank was discriminating against all white customers, the baker was discriminating against all one gender customers

    I do not support discrimination of any group based on race or gender

    Can't you and your college buddies just go to another brokerage firm to do the IPO. Isn't this similar to the gay baker argument. There are lots of brokerage firms.
    Also unless you and your college buddies have something phenomenal it is not likely Goldman is going to do the IPO for such a small company.

    race and gender - I never said they were the same thing.... talk about building a strawman and attacking it instead of the actual content of the post

    simple... there's only two genders, male or female...

    everything else is a mental delusion...

    yep, the majority attacking the minorities to blame for societies issues is an old one

    differing religions, races upset some people

    it had everything to do with your post, as you specifically called out the baker for gender discrimination... the baker didn't, because there are only two genders,the baker chose not to bake a cake because of their chosen lifestyle, not because of gender...

    Everyone is to blame for their own problems here in America.. there is no class blame here.. there are those who want to. But they are wrong and evil.

    the bank would not serve same race clients, the baker would not server same gender clients

    pretty simple to see they are the same thing, both discrimination based on race or gender

    I don't support using a gun against any mind for any reason, except in self-defense. I will not do business with GS, I will exercise my discriminating judgment and avoid them for the cowardly intellectual plague they are.

    I disagree, better to trust those who know how to make money--they are morally superior to those who whine for it.

    Nope special interest groups are buying laws and rigging the game.

    You know who makes up coprs and special interest groups? Americans!
    I'm ok with getting the money out of politics but that includes BLM, planned parenthood, environmental organizations. The ACLU etc.
