What a schmuck.

Moral equivalence for thee not for me is a liberal staple.

:roll:

Given how many GOP politicians sign anti-gay legislation with one hand whilst jerking someone off with the other, maybe you should cut the "DERP LIBERAL" crap and understand that it's a human staple.

 

[OrphanSlug]

Not surprising. There will be plenty of things like this because of Mississippi foolishness. We all knew there would be economic consequences, no sense in bitching about it now.

It is about image and the buck... that is it.

Why yes conservatives never exhibit this behavior!

It does amuse me when some right winger drones on and on about "typical liberal" this and "liberal staple" that, as if conservatives are pure as the driven ****ing snow and are incapable of human failings. You know you can pretty much tune out anyone who spouts off that kind of idiocy.

 

[Master PO]

no more bryan adams!

 

[Deuce]

no more bryan adams!

Uhhh no man he's still around.

If you see a not-so-good guy - who still does some bad stuff - do some good stuff too, you want to encourage him. If you see a good guy who does good stuff start doing bad stuff that he wasn't doing before, you want to discourage him.

Same principle applies. You can't have the same expectations for all people, much less all nations.

 

[Master PO]

Uhhh no man he's still around.

i will not being listening to him, but the reason is different then you think,

adams is using his fame and concert, to act as a collective power to change law, this would be the same if he used the same power to get a law made.

our federal government is bought and paid for because collectives lobby our government to get laws made in their interest, and this is no different

collectivism in law is an evil thing.

The absolute horror of not being able to see "Cuts Like a Knife" performed live. How will the Mississippians cope?

I am all for economic boycotts but Bryan Adam's really???????

The next thing you know Adam Ant will be cancelling his concerts in Mississippi which will cause 10's of people to be angry.

If he did that, he'd have nothing to say.

i wonder how many people of the state legislature are crying in their pillows tonight over him not performing

 

[Henrin]

I wonder how many liberals would be protesting if the US repealed anti-discrimination laws all together.

But we want to force people to serve us!

That misses the point. State legislature made a choice with a predictable economic consequence, it damn near proves the very problem with social conservatism and government conservatism. They may be okay with that consequence, but it means less choice for people in Mississippi who may have wanted to see Bryan Adams. Now they will have to go elsewhere to see that.

i don't see the legislature crying, but regular people though sales and enjoying the concert mad.

Come on there has to be some closet Bryan Adam's fans out there. He wouldn't be on tour if there weren't. I am betting there are at least 10 state legislatures waiting to wear the hell out acid washed straight legged jeans, high tops and backward baseball caps....although I have seen the latter making a comeback...why I have no idea.

Actually, this is entirely the fault of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ whack jobs suing to force people to serve them against their will, and contrary to freedom of religion. Not, "Mississippi foolishness". :roll:

hey, why are you making me :lol:, did you know i needed it...thank you!

They probably won't be upset by this. Mississippi, and other states for that matter, seem okay with trading economic activity for making this political point.

I find it sad that this is where we are. In this case Mississippi did this to themselves.

What a crock. Nobody is forcing anyone. If you want to open a restaurant to white people only just make the John Birch Dinner Club. Have bylaws and a membership roll. In other words if you want to be a bigot you still can you just have to make your business a private club. Easy Peasy Jap...oops probably not best cliche to use on this subject.

well i believe in state powers, and the rights of people..association, commerce, and property

adams is trying to act an a collective, and i hate collectives who work to create or change law.

I don't want to bake you a cake.

Ok, I'll sue.

Court rules in the favor of the customer.

Hmmm...
