    The state of Colorado is going at the masterpiece cake owners again for not making a transgender a custom cake. Disgusting. The hypocritical left.

    Obvious that the "transgender" blatantly went to this guy to make a news story.....wouldnt be surprised if some left wing LGBTQ group is paying this guy to walk in that cake makers door.

    I have seen and heard this argument, but that is trying to turn this into a black/white issue. There is a difference between believing in a private businesses rights to do what they want vs what you believe is acceptable behavior.  You can believe Facebook has every right to ban any one they want, and also believe it's terrible at the same time.  I think most of us who have the "businesses can do what they want" take also acknowledge these social media platforms are going down a slippery slope.  I already stated it concerns me. 

    This is no different than the baker case.  You can support the businesses right to deny service to anyone for any reason, but also believe their behavior is unacceptable.  I don't understand why this is difficult for people to comprehend (I am not referring to you specifically). 

    Bakers case is weak at best.  The cake making is not "free speech".  The baker is providing a paid service.  These social media sites are free and are only about speech.  No services are rendered.   

    I would guess the supreme court would rule on the side of Jones......... social media sites offer a platform to "speech" and then selectively decide what is acceptable?  Nope....lose every time.  Nobosy has paid to be on Twitter, nobody has anything invested in it.  You cant offend others when they can selectively leave or they can choose to block your content.  

    The baker didnt interfere with the ability for someone to just go somewhere else for their cake.

    I want to see Tiger get one more major in my lifetime, but who else is rooting for Tiger to win so CC can go fuck himself? 

    its been great to see him choke it up the last 2 majors.

    I love fish sticks and tartar sauce. Probably because I loved it when I was kid.

    Can I get a few examples?

    It more the fact that someone like Jones is plastered for his "so called hate" speech and the example that the left haters can spew all day long and the media doesnt hold their feet to the fire.  Go get on the social media of antifa or the New york times racist and tell me why they arent banned from their free speech platforms

    I’m not talking about news in general. I’m talking about social media. Let’s say I have 250k twitter and YouTube followers and they decide to ban me for something that doesn’t violate their ToS. I just lost the ability to get my content out to people who may be interested because Twitter/YouTube didnt like what I was saying and I don’t think that’s right. Like I said, I know this isn’t the case with Jones. The moron earned his ban. I just don’t think this is a take your business to a different bakery if they won’t make your cake scenario. Plenty of bakeries. Nobody will be competing with twitter/YouTube/Facebook when it comes to social media for many years to come. 

    There is way worse out there on social media that can also be banned.  They are going after him becAuse of his political backing

    you scenario will never happen so I cant answer it

    your scenario is so outrageous that you cant answer any of these hypotheticals.  

    The irony here is delicious.  It appears to be you that cannot answer hypotheticals.  Hypotheticals don't have to be probable ... or even possible, for that matter.  That's why we frame them as hypotheticals.

     

    I'm so glad I found this thread.

     

    i dont live in the world of hypotheticals.  I am a left brain analytical person.  that is how I operate.

  • Dont do cherry........Hickory is a classic taste that everyone will like.

     

    Time.....go overnight for about 20 hours.

     

    Geeblock rub is pretty common.......I always make one a little more spicy then the others......that cayenne and brown sugar gives it that nice sweet taste at first then heats up in a second.

     

    I put my pork in alluminum pans and poor either orange juice or Dr.pepper in the bottom.  After I shred the pork I reconstitute the slurry and put my pork back in it to soak it up.

  • I would go to whoever hired you and tell them that you are doing something that you did not get hired to do.  Tell them your expectations.  Then look for another job and leave

    Just for a frame of reference, I looked at the "100 Most Important Movies" from HollywoodReporter.com.  When I saw that "Wall-E" was ranked higher at 79 then "Airplane!" or "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind", the list lost some credibility, but at least it was a starting point.

    On the plus side, I finally saw "Singing In The Rain" a few months ago.  Had always wanted to watch it.  The psychedelic mod dance sequence in the second half was much too long, but overall a nice classic flick.

    Some of the ones I've missed that I suspect most folks have seen:

    • Blade Runner
    • Princess Bride
    • When Harry Met Sally
    • The Shining
    • Titanic
    • Saving Private Ryan
    • Schindler's List
    • Citizen Kane
    • Pulp Fiction
    • To Kill A Mockingbird
    •  

    You need to call in sick and catch up with these 3.  ASAP
