The question is: how many times can you post comments like that first sentence and consider yourself an adult capable of expressing a point of view without slinging mud at those with whom you disagree? Pence has stated that the bill is not meant to permit discrimination, but that doesn't...

This bill, unlike the previous ones [in other states] and the Federal bill, specifically left out sexual orientation, meaning it isn't protected. Business owners and landlords can refuse people because they believe they are gay. That makes it exactly what this bill is for - even Pence refuses...

It's not against their will - they freely agreed to abide by the laws when they opened a business serving the public. If they can't abide that, they have alternatives, such as a business that is not open to the public. Their choice.

Homosexuality is not a "lifestyle choice", no matter how much you'd like to believe that. Religion is, [whichever one of thousands you choose] and those who don't choose yours should not be ruled by it. It would be as logical as being ruled [with the force of law behind it] by someone else's...

If you would enjoy having a pet, you should have one. [Unless you wish to drive in a division, such as FedEx White Glove, that prohibits it.] You should also make sure the pet will enjoy it, too. Don't choose one that is not going to enjoy being in the truck for long periods, or one that needs...

One word could explain why you're wrong: gerrymandering. Because sometimes, the facts don't paint the actual picture, and you know it. And even if the state is mostly Republican, that does not mean conservative, by a very long shot. A recent Ball State University poll found that 54% of adults...

There isn't any 'force' about it: their business license requires them to obey the law, and that includes the laws against discrimination. Serving an event is not an endorsement, no matter how much they insist it is. Also, they knew what the law requires when they applied for whatever licensing...

Leaving the word 'private' off the conversations tag was not a good idea. It's confusing, causing people [like me!] to wonder if what they want to keep private is about to be posted instead. Clarifying it now, works for those of us reading this, but anyone who misses it, [like everyone who...

Sure they are, but the banks [and Wall St and insurance companies] have a far greater effect on the policies that matter to me. Hollywood is 'Tinseltown', not known for its' grip on reality, lol. In broad terms, the banks represent the profit motive, while Hollywood stands for creativity, and we...

Most of Indiana is not conservative: Pence won the election with 49.62%, his opponent John Gregg had 46.42%. That's not a large majority - and even among the conservatives, there are many who support the right of gay people to be treated as everyone else. Cindy Kirchoffer, a Republican who voted...

I'm pretty sure they [ConWay] had to refer to all of us as "assets", in order to get rid of us, lol. ;)

A person has those rights - a business does not. In exchange for the tax and legal advantages conferred by a business license, the business is obligated to serve the general public. They may not refuse service based upon a customer's perceived sexual orientation, [or upon a customer's perceived...

They might have - but training wasn't offered to ex Cons, lol. [Moot was sold to Panther with the rest of ConWay Now's assets] ;)

People who insist that religious beliefs supersede law are going to be very unhappy when the beliefs are those of a different religion. Right now, those asserting their right to ignore laws that violate their beliefs [founded on tradition, not reality], are Christians, but what happens when...

If Obama had known that those 2 years were the only chance he had of getting anything passed, before the incoming wave of Tea Partiers [featuring Ted Cruz] established the practice of rejecting anything & everything Obama proposed, and refusing to negotiate, he probably would have tried harder...

I never for a moment thought anyone who buys a weapon would put it in a closet and forget it - but I suspect a great many consider an occasional trip to the range sufficient for their needs. Because they don't particularly want to "get good at it", they just want to point & shoot if it ever...

Muchas gracias, Mj, for the info. I don't do wiring, [got a serious electrical shock once, it took years for me to even change a light bulb after that, lol], but I may get it done when the dash panel gets put back where it belongs. [And was, until a Carrier tech messed it up in the course of...

"Obama's economic policies have put all these conditions in place" - say what?! The increased deficit spending began with Bush: defense and wars. Ditto the tax cuts for the wealthy [corporations and people], with the promise that they would result in increased investment in jobs, because...

The only question is just how many cases of arrested development will now have to do it, lol.:rolleyes:

Gun enthusiasts are not the majority of people with carry permits, so no, you didn't answer the question, which was specifically about the average Joe Public: how many of those keep their skills sharp? Or even take periodic refresher courses? Does anyone bother to keep track? The substitution...
