Both players have been suspended from the team and from school, pending the outcome of the investigation. It could very well be that the referee hurt their feelings, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Beliefs and principles are a tricky thing. People are quick to condemn those for acting on their principles, as long as they don't agree with those principles. What about the truck driver who doesn't believe in using pharmaceuticals? Should he be forced to haul a load of drugs, forced to violate...

Pedant. Absent the belief, her action would not have occurred. She's made it quite clear the reasons for her action, which is why her action and belief are so directly connected. To separate out one from the other and dismiss either as irrelevant is both wrong and unfair. You seem to have a more...

Actually he's only used the word once. You keep quoting it, though, so it looks like he's the one who keeps using. But it's a synonym for "moral corruption," "deviance," "perversion," "baseness," "degeneracy," among others and describes homosexual behavior, which many everyday Americans object...

I'm really, really sorry if that's what you meant the premise to imply, but nevertheless the premise was stated unambiguously as "in order to prove wrong the notions that Christianity is first among equal religions." Nothing in there even hints at the demands infringing on the rights of others...

Not only that, but they published a complete walk-back, saying that the letter was published in the quarterly e-newsletter (without mentioning the fact that it also has its own prominent page on the university web site). The problem is, it's been removed from the previously-published...

The state of not having a special right is generally not considered to be a plight, so I'm not sure how comparing wanting a civil right to wanting a special right is applicable in such a discussion.

Hence the wild and crazy use of the term "predicated" which directly connects belief and action.

It's not really hype. Synthetic does give you longer intervals between oil changes, synthetic oils don't break down at the molecular level at high temperatures (say, with a turbocharger) the way dino oil does, and because the molecules of synthetic oil are all uniform and tailored for a specific...

I think it'll be interesting to see how the validity question of the licenses issues without her authorization plays out. Kentucky law is rather specific on that issue. I don't know why the governor and the county attorney seem to think the law doesn't apply here. On the upside in the humor...

That wasn't your stated premise. The premise was simply what happens when people of other religions start making demands for accommodations of their religious beliefs in order to prove wrong the notions that Christianity is first among equal religions. You didn't say anything about those demands...

Parent 1 and Parent 2 is already affecting them negatively.

Remain ignorant. I don't care.

It's called an Etymological Fallacy when someone insists that the meaning of a word way back when should be the meaning of the word today, and when people say exactly what you said - that because the meanings or words change over time that there is nothing wrong with the forced change of...

While I am generally capable of debating either side of an issue, the issue of same-sex marriage is not one in which I would choose to take the position in favor the redefining of a term in order to get what you want simply because you want it really, really bad and therefore think you should...

There's no moving of goalposts. Constrain it to modern history (whatever that means), or within your lifetime, or within just the last 20 years, the statement stands, The "expanded freedoms" you speak of are not expanded freedoms at all, they are special rights granted to people who whined long...

Marriage meaning something other than between a man and a woman certainly is, so relative speaking, over the course of human history, it's incredibly sudden.

The tree huggers are crapping themselves over this.

Interesting how, quite suddenly, people who believe marriage means the union of a man and a woman are considered to be doing evil when they act on that long-held and traditional belief.

But wait! There's more! Doubled down.
