I havent' read the story yet but it was probably some 22-year old pastry clerk, who has knows what band is playing at what stock car race but has no idea who ISIS is. Or at least no idea what their flag looks like. I have no idea what their flag looks like either. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/walma...ry?id=32103721 Sure enough, the inscription was in Arabic. Who can read that? Not the clerk at Walmart. All in all, pretty funny. |

Why didn't baker, who probably has a smart phone, take a picture and search the web. Are you serious? That's ridiculous. I'm not so sure it's that ridiculous. When you start sensoring the confederate flag, presumably you have some governing standards and there must be more than just the confederate flag that gets censored. If Walmart has some policy, then they should have a list of what they won't put on a cake and the confederate flag should not be the only thing on it. And you would expect that the ISIS flag would be. Apparently though, either they really have no governing standards or the ISIS flag isn't on it. Neither of which reflects well on Walmart. |

Walmart in issuing their ban stated that they didn't want to have anything in their stores that made anyone feel uncomfortable. Really? My thoughts immediately went to your examples above. What about all the clothes made in Vietnam and India by teens making $2 a day? That makes some people uncomfortable. What about the cans of tuna that **** off the folks over dolphins winding up killed? What about the chicken they sell and PETA? And how about the employees that they pay minimum wage, that makes some people uncomfortable. The list is endless. And as I pointed out in another recent post, it looks like they don't even have a list. And if they do, they should put it up on the web so we can all know. |

These days if you recognize the fact that people come from different races you get called a racist. There's no hate attached to acknowledging race. It's the people who hate anyone who's different from themselves that feed the idea of racism. I think it's a mistake to make it politically incorrect to even talk about race. Those like you who look at the confederate flag and see southern pride, bravery, etc, or the libs and black agitators who look at it and see racism, even in things like a Duke of Hazards car with the flag on the roof?

The most interesting thing I saw post decision that got little attention was the Texas attorney general telling clerks in the state that they still don't have to issue marriage licenses if they personally object to gay marriage. Hard to imagine that he did that without checking with Rick Perry. More likely, Perry told him to do it, precisely to try to get more votes from the religious hardliners. We'll see where that goes, obviously it's a total waste of time and money, because they will quickly have court orders telling them they can't do that. I wonder what's next, Perry blocking the door, like George Wallace? My guess is the AG wants the good publicity he gets amongst fellow evangelicals. If he gets his name in the paper enough he will win the next governor election. Perry wants to be President. |

My guess is the AG wants the good publicity he gets amongst fellow evangelicals. If he gets his name in the paper enough he will win the next governor election. Perry wants to be President. Your mention of election made me think. I was assuming that the attorney general in TX is appointed and works for Perry, like here in NJ. But some states, it's an elected position and that's the case in TX. So, I think you're right, the AG is probably doing it on his own, for his own reasons, and I take back what I said about Perry being involved. |

After decades of seeing marriage between a man and woman, I found it to be strange. OTOH, I can't think of solid reasons to deny them a relationship together |

Gays aren't saying you have to reject your view of marriage. They just want their right to be married. In the case of the flag, I think a conservative/libertarian, less govt position is that you can do what you want with the confederate flag. With gay marriage, it's similar. You have your version of marriage and the gays can have their version. And note this isn't an extreme thing today, something only 5% are OK with, 60% of Americans support gay marriage. It's hard to get by that. They aren't requiring you to be gay or to enter a gay marriage.

The SC simply found that under the 14th amendment if the govt is going to get in the middle of marriage, then gay people have a right to be married too. It doesn't threaten me anymore than inter-racial marriages, civil rights extended to blacks, etc did. |

OTOH, I can't think of solid reasons to deny them a relationship together The most interesting question I see is that now that gay marriage is OK, what about the Mormons that want multiple wives? Or others for that matter. Mormons are probably on firmer ground because as I understand it, it's sanctioned by their religion. Maybe Stormin can help us out. But if any two people can get married, why not 3? Isn't that protected under the 14th too? |

People will find a way to discriminate if they want to discriminate. We can try to legislate it, but you can't force people to go along with something that's and issue of beliefs. They will find a way to rebel. I think we all do that. -- Maggie |

I've seen all sorts of arguments for and against gay marriage. The most interesting one I've seen argued was someone said that gays already had the same right to marry as everyone else- to marry someone of their choice of the oppose sex. To grant gays the right to marry the same gender was akin to granting rights to a special interest group and therefore it would nullify any idea of equal rights under the law and end up promoting rights for special interest groups, instead. -- Maggie |
