1) Higher level of intelligence?, No. Higher level of indoctrination by sniveling liberal professors who hide behind the walls of academia because they are too afraid and could never function in the real world?, yes. Which describes you obviously.
2) The people with drive, ambition, intellect, common sense and are the self-starters, go start businesses, rather than pay for #1.
Sorry.
I'm not defending anything...just pointing out a clearly ignorant and unsubstantiated claim.
It's just a fact that libertarians score higher on IQ tests than liberals. Why are you so defensive over this? Did you really think an ideology that is more emotional than rational could honestly outscore a ideology that is more rational than emotional?
I was correcting your error by stating it was about anti-discrimination. And my point stands and is accurate that the laws are similar in their effect, forced servitude and and rape
There's a whole bunch of non-collegiate grads who will get to heaven when the pro-gay intellectuals wind up elsewhere. Revelation 21:8
Oh? Ok, so how is forcing someone to serve others not involuntary servitude? Well?

The context here is Indiana and guess what. Indiana doesn't have a law protecting homosexuals from discrimination and a lot of businesses opened before such laws were in place elsewhere
Because the person opened a business to the public. It's a part of the deal they agreed to when they opened that business, to comply with federal, state and local laws including anti-discrimination laws and to serve the PUBLIC. No one goes into business thinking they can deny service to blacks or Jews anymore, and in the current environment they will also understand that if they're in the wedding business, they'll need to provide services to gay weddings.
If the legislature wants to carve out exceptions for wedding planners, OK. But it's not "involuntary servitude" to be asked to comply with local laws. We have some rental properties and have to comply with ADA regs. Is that involuntary servitude? No, it's part of owning rental property open to the public - we signed onto that when we built commercial rental property. If he didn't want to comply, maybe my father in law should have invested in mutual funds.
We understand the goal is to remove, particularly, Christians from the marketplace.
And in 1998 there wasn't a big fight over gay marriage. The politics around the issue has completely changed. Which is what this Illinois law is all about. It's revenge against gay marriage becoming illegal all over the country. With this law the concern is how the law will be applied. In 1993 and 1997 there was no concerns.
While finding that Americans narrowly favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to legally marry, a new Associated Press-GfK poll also shows most believe wedding-related businesses should be allowed to deny service to same-sex couples for religious reasons. :shock:

Isn't that bearing false witness there?
Libertarianism, the smartest ideology in an empty room.
a philosophy that is adopted mainly by people who don't want to grow up is hardly a philosophy that caters to geniuses
Wait, what? That literally makes no sense, at all. It seems to me liberals are all for change and "growing up"

Treats who like babies? Which liberal ideology are you referring to?
Are they really for growing up? Is that why their ideology treats everyone like babies?
I'm sure as hell not talking about classical liberals.
nope, american liberalism-better deemed reactionary parasitic statism, is all about outsourcing adult decision making operations to the government now, some "liberals" are nothing more than power hungry scum who pander to that childlike desire in the liberal masses and want to be surrogate parents, but liberalism, as defined in America now, is all about avoiding responsibility
Btw, the average IQ of those that are considered liberals is 94, while the average IQ of those considered libertarians is 110. Just sayin'...
Maybe you know enough about math to tell me the difference.
Conservatives exhibit less cognitive ability than liberals do. Or that's what it says in the social science literature, anyway. A 2010 study using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, for example, found that the IQs of young adults who described themselves as "very liberal" averaged 106.42, whereas the mean of those who identified as "very conservative" was 94.82.
