Lesbian couple asks jeweler to make rings. Jeweler makes rings. Couple finds Jeweler's feelings on marriage offensive, want to return rings. Doesn't matter because he's a H8R and needs to be boycotted. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/jewelry-store-sign-prompts-same-sex-couple-to-ask-for-refund-1.3077192

Because never in the history of retail have douchebag customers done something insane. ![]() If you want, I'll give you my own personal list of confrontations with customers in which they've threatened to sue, "have my job," sue and have my job, etc. But they're not going to reinforce anyone's bias about same-sex marriage so I guess no one's up for storytime. |

Do you have any idea what my "bias" toward same-sex marriage is? I've posted many stories about how inconsistent the thinking about it is (and this is one of them), but, iirc, I've never expressed my opinion on it, have I? This isn't about same sex marriage, it's about people using their status as a crutch to punish those with whom they disagree. By the way, I'm still waiting for a response, by anyone, to the Muslim baker who was asked to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Interestingly (or not, probably), there was no outcry about that. I hate selective outrage. |

I believe muslim bakers are on the pc checklist at the moment. I'm not positive and I'm not sure if this covers all circumstances. |

Hold yer horses; didn't mean you.
Yeah but that happens all the time. Literally all the time. People pulling the veteran card and then trying to make you feel guilty when there's no special discount for them. (I've seen that one a lot.) People pulling the service dog card when really they have no business having a "service dog," they just want to bring their pets wherever. People pulling the mom card—y'know, "can I cut in front of you, I have kids in the car," "do you have junior discounts? I have kids," etc. None of this crap will make the news because neither self-righteous conservatives nor self-righteous liberals really give a crap. It doesn't infuriate anyone but me, who's had to deal with it. My question for you, George: why do you think I believe politics makes people stupid? The media's over here cherry-picking case studies, and while the entire world debates what the hell's going to happen to some cake business in a town they'll never go to in their lives, they ignore the dozen or so cases of the exact same shit going on in the very supermarket they're standing in! |

That's not politics, that's media cherry-picking. As much as we'd like to think the net has changed public perception of events, the truth is that the MSM is still the horse that pulls the cart. One can have debate, but it will be on their playing field. |

You just said it wasn't politics and in the very next sentence you said MSM. There's no conspiracy, Jolly. They don't sit around talking about how to thwart the conservatives. They go with what will make people read the crap. |

It's because I'm right-handed. But, seriously. Should this jeweler be punished for what he thinks, despite the fact that he did what was asked of him? And, I'm still waiting for the defense of the Muslim baker. Edited by George K, May 23 2015, 06:38 AM.

George, I'm sure you'd post a ton of articles identifying bias at FoxNews, if only there were any

If we want to talk about media bias, I'll be happy to do so. What's your opinion on the jeweler and the baker? |

a) No. b) you won't find it from me. Ask one of the people of the board who thinks religious based descrimination against gays is ok. I'm sure any of them would be happy to throw up a defense of the Muslim baker. |

I think discrimination for or against just about anyone for just about any reason is ok At least there is no need for the state government to take sides Except for a very few special cases |

I don't really have one. To be perfectly honest I lost interest in the article after the first couple of lines. More fuss about nothing? |

I'd like to post in this thread, but I can't due to fear of retaliation through business extortion from the consistently angry right and the perpetually outraged left. |
