The pizza there sucked. In many years of business, they only got two, countem two Yelp reviews.
I doubt anyone would ever buy their pizza for a wedding (who has pizza for a wedding anyhow?)
They don't cater, and they've never served weddings.
That sounds like a good description of the bigoted christians.
Indentured servants or slavery...neither is good.
"Treatment of indentured servants differed greatly from one master to another. In some areas, slaves were treated more humanely because they were regarded as lifetime investments, while the servant would be gone in a few years. The length of servitude could legally be lengthened in cases of bad behavior, especially for those workers who ran away or became pregnant.
~~Snip~~
One variant of this labor system was the use of "enforced servitude." Vagrants, war prisoners, and minor criminals were shipped to America by English authorities, then sold into bondage.
~~Snip~~
The servants of this era were often uneducated and could be cheated by unscrupulous masters, who could forge new contracts with terms more favorable to themselves."
Indentured Servitude
There's a lot of history where indentured servants were treated less than slaves. Slaves were cash cows over the span of their lives. "SUPPOSEDLY" indentured servants were only for 5 to 7 years. Consequently, slaves were more valuable over the long haul.
And a lot of people exploited Indentured Servants by changing their agreements and the servants could never pay off their debts - so essentially they were slaves.
Sometimes, yes, tyranny of the majority, mob rule; these things do exist. Do you deny that?
IOW, people are free to agree to anything they want
as long as the libertarian authoritarians approve.
What is it now, over half a million?
The moment this story broke, as I expected, the left didn't hesitate to label the owners of that restaurant bigots and haters. At least this time there's no need for me to waste my time disagreeing with them, because folks from all over the country took care of that for me.
All those donation that keep pouring in make a hell of a lot better argument than I, or anyone else ever could. Just as every one of you know, the American people don't open their checkbooks and pour their hearts out to those who are intolerant, hateful or mistreat others... They're making it quite clear who are the victims of hatred and intolerance, and who are the ones inflicting it.
Well, if you're denying service to someone based on their sexuality, you are a bigot.
Do you hear that?
Cha-Ching!
I'm sure the fund for religious freedom appreciates your contribution.
Really? You are literally a bigot if you deny service to someone based on their sexuality.
I totally agree... But that isn't what that restaurant did.

Greetings, Grim17. :2wave:
Great post! Haven't talked with you in a while. Hope all is well with you and yours.
I think I read earlier that they had been given over $877,000 dollars before those handling the collections stopped accepting donations. Thousands of people from all over the country took part. :thumbs:

It's not? This is new to me. Refusing to cater pizza at gay weddings isn't bigoted/intolerant? Hm, interesting.
Maybe, maybe not, doesn't change the fact they are bigots.
He also said he would serve homosexuals who came in to order a pizza. Was that page missing from your Cliff's Notes?Owner said he wouldn't serve pizza at a gay wedding reception.
With the implication being he WOULD serve pizza at a non gay wedding reception.
I got that right? Do you require a cliffs notes to keep up? No shame in that, lots of people do, you know...
Wait, I'm a bigot? I'm not intolerant towards others, I'm open to all opinions and people, doesn't mean I can't PERSONALLY dislike something, I wouldn't go as far as to deny a fundamentalist christian a pizza for their wedding. Call me a bigot if you want.Bigot:
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
:: a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)
denying service based on sexuality might indeed be bigotry ( not inherently, but it probably is, nonetheless)... throwing the word "bigot" around.
unfortunately, bigots calling bigots bigots doesn't leave a lot of room for much moral or ethical high ground. <shrug>

Forcing people to act against their consciences, however, isYou seem not to understand that anarchism has a social aspect and is about abolishing all oppressive social structures such as racism, homophobia, and the like. You should do yourself a favor and read up on anarchism so you can actually know what you are talking about.
Yes, however public accommodation is not it.
99.9% of adult human beings are bigots.... of one stripe or another.
