The SB 101 (Religious Freedom Restoration) Thread

You shouldn't refuse because they are Muslim, you should refuse because it is in bad taste.

That's a judgement call. In a free country you would have a right to refuse sevice for any reason--even religious ones.

If I were them I'd shrug it off and openly carry on my business and allow any employee who wants to carry as well.

I would too. I bet I could get some of my armed friends to come hang out as well. But I heard this guy being interviewed and he just wants to mind his own business and be left alone. He sounds like a nice person that's not into statement making business.

I have refused to work for people just because I did not like them. Religion or gender Bias never entered into it.
I have installed systems for openly gay men.....I mean "Openly" cross dressing men wanting to be female. They never bothered me in an uncomfortable way and I went about my work.

Now, I have told a few A$$ hats to go **** themselves over the years. That should always be a choice we can make with no reprisal.

At least reprisal from the government. People ought to be able to complain as they leave your shop or as you walk away from their project. They ought to be tell their friends how you treated them. They get to be little whining *****es, if they want to. But when they go threatening to burn your business down or harm your family, I will not stand with that. And I will condemn them for it.

You shouldn't refuse because they are Muslim, you should refuse because it is in bad taste. If the WBC came in and asked you to make the same thing would you make it? The religious part is irrelevant, it's the taste. And not the sugary kind.

It has absolutely nothing to do with bad taste.
IT'S WRONG!! Wouldn't matter what religion or sexual persuasion they chose. If I choose to believe that it stands in stark enough contrast to my values then I should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
Its funny how folks that want the gov't to force others to do things think its great until the gov't starts forcing them to do things they don't wanna do.
I guarantee you won't like the taste of it.
This is picking up steam and it won't be long before you see things from a different perspective.

If Crystal O'Conner is only 16, that needs to be more widely publicized. There have been some pretty hateful remarks about her appearance being made. That's cyber bullying, and we are told it's unacceptable. Hold the left to their own standards.

 

[Thor]

The rest of the country is cyber-bullying all of Indiana...but apparently it's only bullying if it fits a specific agenda. Besides, its so much fun for the coastal elites to slap flyover country.

That's probably not a bad call. I would guess that 99% of the hater-spewers are also major cowards.

It's the 1% you have to be concerned about, however.

I must say, they are quite impressive in their zeal and dedication (especially when it comes to spending their OWN money).

Do these people have any money. Do many of them work.
I am retired and have no time to carry signs and stop traffic.
All mouth and no A$$.....typical Bravo Sierra from a bunch of loud mouths that will cut and run when the tide turns.

The Indiana amendment prohibits service providers from using the law as a legal defense for refusing to provide goods, services, facilities or accommodations. It also bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or U.S. military service.
The measure exempts churches and affiliated schools, along with nonprofit religious organizations.
House Speaker Brian Bosma said the law sends a "very strong statement" that the state will not tolerate discrimination.
Business leaders, many of whom had opposed the law or canceled travel to the state because of it, called the amendment a good first step but said more work needs to be done. Gay-rights groups noted that Indiana's civil-rights law still does not include LGBT people as a protected class.


the gutted bill "is a good first step" but now we need civil rights law to designate LGBTFRSKLNCR-BDMNIEW
as a protected class

Logic is hard.

If you list the things that you can't discriminate against, anything not on the list is subject to discrimination.
