Careful with that, the little troll knows how to use the report button to get his way.
If the mods would actually do something about his worthless ass we wouldn't have to resort to these measures. But alas, there is little hope in that.

What you were doing was a bit more than the broken record meme. ;)

I hate to break up ya'lls hate on Mississippi fest :)P), but there are a large number of us, myself included, who strongly disagree with this law. The governor has been going nuts lately and I have a feeling that the social authoritarian sect is going to feel a lot of blowback in the coming elections.

I can hope anyway.

Heh. You said "ya'lls" :)

I think it's supposed to be spelled y'all's though :)

Agree! He was following me around and over 20 times came into a thread and said things completely unrelated to the OP so of course he was taken down for violating the rules. If he doesn't like what I say then he should ignore me instead of having some obsession with me and following me all around P&N.

Bill works fine for me. I don't want to end up in a restaurant that secretly doesn't want to serve me so they'll serve some mystery sauce.

let's find shops with "no shirt no shoes no service" signs in the window and burn them all down.

Of course because just like putting on a shirt to get around that restriction, a person can just stop being homosexual or black for a few minutes. Why didn't we think of that to begin with?

So why haven't you been taken down for violating the rules in this thread, troll?

you're painting me as someone who is intolerant but i see it the other way around. i'm all for equality and such but i wouldn't force some poor guy born 60 years ago (from parents born 100 years ago) to give service to people he doesn't like, for whatever reason.

i think that "i wouldn't force someone" is pretty much the whole of the argument. you guys are all getting caught up in this "minorities hell yeah" fad and you're willing to hurt people because of it. whatever happened to live and let live?

here, let me politically-correct-ize it for you:

person A does not want to perform service B for customer C because of their beliefs: should we force them?

how about a muslim being asked to server beer, or sell pork products?

Good question.

As soon as legislators and business owners fully comprehend and incorporate the meaning into their lives the disagreement ends.

Business owners provide products and services to all their customers: customers are happy; business owners have increased sales and return business, business owners are happy.

Win - win!
