Saw the title after posting the comment, and felt sheepish. Unfortunately,/. won't allow me to delete the comment, so I get to continue feeling like a dumbass...
Someone says "I'ts terrible the way that Muslims keep sex slaves and kill non believers". Someone else says.... "ah but Christians in the time of the crusades did the same, so you can't say its terrible or you are a hypocritical islamaphobe".
If you're a christian condemning another entire religion for terroristic acts of a fractional percentage of its followers in the name of their faith, that doesn't necessarily make you an islamaphobe, but it does make you a hypocrite. And it's not just "in the time of the crusades", there's been plenty of christian themed atrocities in modern times as well...
I think the Ewoks were supposed to be an allegory to the Mujahadin in Afghanistan (because we liked them back then), that were fighting the evil Russians at the time with small arms and rocks.
Oh look, Godwin rears his head again...
Not to disagree with your overall point, but the Nazis did not actually ban smoking. They were vehemently against it, and put out many antismoking propaganda blitzes, but the only ban they instituted was on trams, buses and city trains...
In Florida, the school administrator takes the role of parent, without even bothering to notify the actual parent. My son got busted with a bag of weed at school (dumbass), and the first I heard of it was a phone call from the principal saying "your kid is on his way to jail, you should probably head over there and see if you can bail him out". Of course, I left his ass in there until I finished with work, headed home, ate dinner, chilled with the wife for a bit... finally got him around midnight. If it'd been me, and my dad in the same scenario, I'd hadn't been out of school for a week while he let me cool my heels in there.
Oh look everyone! It's False Equivalency Man!! These two situations have nothing in common. One involves a rich guy donating money to a political cause that suppresses the rights of others. The other is a bunch of women just trying to earn a living using one of the options available to them. The strippers don't have an axe to grind, and just want to do their jobs without being harassed by stiff penised evangelicals (outside of work anyway)
I'm willing to bet that the law requiring them to register probably came from the brains of jokers like this in the first place. "If they have to register the fact that they take their clothes off for money, those harlots will think twice about stripping for money!"... Also, I don't doubt that his "desire to pray for them" might be in fact, a way to shame them into quitting their jobs lest they become publicly exposed (nyuk nyuk nyuk). Either that or he's a little perv wanting to stalk them... Honestly with the fundamentalists, it's a toss up either way.
I think he wants to "pray" for them individually... outside their residence's bedroom windows... naked from the waist down... atoning FURIOUSLY for their sins.

Whites are already a minority in the US

The rent is too damn high...
Especially with stories like this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

The concern trolling is strong with this one...
You must acquit?
Not to mention setting the stage for today's "ZOMG SOCIALISM" hysteria...

I'd say it's more akin to a landlord not providing.... locks.
We've regularly ignored the KISS principle for decades now...
"I am not under the impression that they should perform worse than their American equivalents"
"a French FAE working very hard to fix all the regressions and firmware bugs produced by H1B workers in Silicon Valley"
"American equivalents" you say?
ESO issue... Equipment Smarter than Operator.

They are pushing the boundries like the Germans pushed the Polish bounderies all the way to Moskow.
Well that was an unexpected "godwin"....
Well.... Han *did* shoot first....

I usually go with option 2 out of those... It's a pretty sure bet these days.
