If somebody walks into my store with a T-shirt that says "I HATE Niggers!" I would ask them to leave the store and, no, I wouldn't serve them. Otherwise, it my be hard to tell if s/he were a racist turd that I was serving.
Personally, I think homosexuality is distasteful, "wrong," even. No big deal. I know there are some spiritual Neanderthal types who would *hate* on me just for saying it. That's *their* problem. Maybe next life they come back as *straight* or more *tolerant* people.
One does not have to like broccoli. One needs to accept that *others* may like broccoli.
Fuck you if you say it's wrong to *not* like broccoli.
Fuck you if you think it's wrong to *like* broccoli.
I do not buy or sell or eat (or encourage others to eat) broccoli.
Now, if a person walks into my store and doesn't tell me, how would I know that *he* [for example] sucks cocks or takes it up the ass unless they wear a T-shirt proclaiming something like that?
I won't refuse service to people because of what they look like, e.g. Color of their skin, gender, nationality. That's wrong. Period.
How they behave? That's another matter.
Do they torture kitties? Molest children?
That's not something related to appearance, age or gender.
Normally, I'm totally and irrefutably ignorant about what people do in their bedrooms---whether close friends or strangers.
Straights or GBLT's.
None of my concern.
In the end, it's an individual's right to follow their conscience.
And, yes, it's an individual's right to not patronize my store.
Some shit just should not be an issue---like what goes on in the bedroom.
And, if my store sold sex toys, I would sell dildos to *anybody.*
But I wouldn't perform a wedding for two muff divers or fudge packers if I could avoid it. Just saying.
Again, if you are really secure in who the fuck you are and really comfortable with what you allow into *your* orifices, good for you. Then you shouldn't freak out and go "hateful" on me just because I say "broccoli is evil."
Some GBLT people really do seem hateful.
Just saying.
Either way, let's just keep all that shit in the bedroom and we'll *all* be OK.
"Stupid" is powerful.
Because the average (90% of the people who voted in the last Presidential election voted for *either* Obama or Romney!) voter *is* "stupid" (and only because they are stupid), Obamacare was passed.
Disagree, if you are ignorant.
But, if you are open minded, two words:
Jonathan Gruber.
HINT: he's widely (and rightfully) recognized as the "architect of the Affordable Care Act.
Just saying.
So, if you want to talk about "stupid," try to do to critically and in a non-partisan way. No offense but, based on the fact that most Anericans think that Democrats really *are* better causes me to think that our country is doomed.
Me? Tweedle Dee, or Tweedle Dum, no difference, in the long term. If any of you kool aid drinking, foil hat wearing geniuses really think that the "GOP" (and the stupid people who vote for *them*) is the problem, well, uh, good luck with that.
Gutting? You are *not* talking about the US of A, obviously.
A trillion dollars spent fighting the good "war" on "poverty" and "homelessness," since the alleged "gutting."
You need to get out more, seriously.
Just saying.
I won't even get into the fact the the taxpayers' money (based on the fact the "war" is obviously being lost) is being wasted. Simply wanted to put the "gutting" misnomer in perspective.

Lawsuit had nothing to do with rival music storesâ(TM) music files, and everything to do with rival music storesâ(TM) DRM. The plaintiffs in this class action suit are, from what Iâ(TM)ve read, deliberately blurring the lines to conflate the two.
Apple:
Only ever supported one DRM format: FairPlay. They never licensed FairPlay to other device makers or music stores, and never supported any other DRM format in iTunes or on iPods.
Always supported non-DRM music â" in MP3 and AAC formats â" on both iTunes and iPods.
Included DRM on iTunes Music Store tracks at the insistence of the record labels. As famously made clear in Steve Jobsâ(TM)s âoeThoughts on Musicâ open letter in 2007, Apple wanted to sell DRM-free music tracks, and, once the record labels allowed them to, they did just that.
The thing with Real Networks is that they backwards-engineered FairPlay in 2004, and Apple responded by closing the loopholes Real exploited. If Real had sold DRM-free MP3 files, Apple wouldnâ(TM)t have done anything.
Amazonâ(TM)s music store has always sold music in plain no-DRM MP3 format, and those files have always worked perfectly with iTunes and iPods.
Ah, yes, the infamous "race to the bottom," with well-intentioned (no doubt) efforts to *make* everybody suffer *equally* and make *everybody* miserable.
That's the ultimate result of blindly and relentlessly pursuing what is frequently touted as (and heard---in the form of shrill voices crying) "fair" this, and "fair" that!
"Nobody in their sane mind creates a job for the sake of creating a job..."
Nobody? You forgot about Big Gov.
Just ask Obama; he's been "creating jobs" ever since he assumed role of Emperor. He's been saying as much for years.
"America still has a 'race' problem."
Yeah, and it's all "whitey"... right?
So, murder Wilson [he's white].
That will fix everything!
Ok, I'm hanging up now. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the rational, intellectual, logical and cogent reasoning being employed by the righteous moralists here on/.
RE: "both parties..."
AMEN! Somebody who has *not* drunk the kool-aid and realizes that we are screwed if we choose either Tweedle Dee *or* Tweedle Dum.
Most drones who post here (regarding politics) seem genuinely clueless---blindly and rabidly clinging to the delusion that *their* party of choice [Democratic/Republican] is *really* any different or better.
Idiots---smart and educated, or not.
That's right. And neither will the Democratic Party last once the ignoramuses on the LEFT realize that *they* are *not* stuck with the usual "Tweedle Dee vs Tweedle Dum" conundrum---the same scenario that led most frigtards (such as the above commenter) to believe we had to choose between Mitt and, uh, Dimwit.
Btw, how's *that* working out for you?
OK, so let's get this straight:
Left wing gut says *Obama* gets a pass because he's only doing what right wing nuts' candidate of choice ["Romney"] would have done?
Rich.
No wonder this country is going downhill. What else can we expect when even "nerds" act dumber than a box of rocks.
On the other hand, sir/mam, if what you are really saying is that, "Democrat *or* Republican, either way we're screwed," I think there are a few people awake enough to say, "hear, hear!"
I couldn't agree with you more about "these bastards."
This is a good example of the *many* ways that *our* government is *adding* to the cost of doing business.
Yet, sadly, the mantra that we frequently hear (typically, but not always, from "progressives"): "MORE GOVERNMENT, MORE GOVERNMENT!"
Meanwhile, Libertarians are portrayed as evil... or ignorant, at best.
I could go on, and on, but I don't want to be labeled a troll by the idiots who *really* think that there isn't any problem that cannot be solved by... [wait for it]... *more* government interference.
[whispering] Global Warming.
That's what the "scientists" on the Shokalskiy were doing down there.
But, shhhh, we don't want the average Joe to know about the real reason for their mission.
It's really hard for the typical unscientific mind to understand how there could be *that* much more ice than... than... there should be... in the *summer*... if the sky is really falling.
The iPhone 5S is the 2nd fast phone on the market.
Educate yourself with the fact that, for now, it's the fastest [1]. The entry beating the A7 in many of those tests is a latest-gen desktop processing chip from Intel.
And here, in my apparent ignorance (hey, it *was* blissful while it lasted!), I thought that my iPhone 5 was the fasted phone on the market:
Mere perception? Apparently not.
Do you ever actually read what you write? If not, than you have no clue how silly it makes you sound---in spite of your being quite articulate, actually.
A shame.

I can believe you *can't* believe. Many people, besides yourself, just don't get freedom. Good luck with that.
