One more time...

[Boca]

Okay so I just found out that one of the moderators didn't like a political statement of mine appearing in this the Latest News and Political Events forum. Instead it was pushed to the less visited Jurisprudence and the Constitution forum. It's not as if court rulings are never discussed in this forum; it's purely the personal objection of someone who had a nerve struck. I'm pleased about that; censors and enemies of facts should have all their nerves struck as far as I'm concerned.

So I'm posting it again in hopes that the moderator at least has the tecticles or ovaries to private message me that a post of mine is being moved as other moderators have in the past. Is that too much to ask whoever you are?

I really don't see why this would be moved. It's nothing different than anything else that gets posted in the Current News & Political Events! I too have wondered if she had been a Muslim woman if she would have been arrested. We know they hate gays and I doubt very much if we'd be talking about this if it were a Muslim involved.

I had no problem finding your thread and responding to it. Of course, it takes some computer knowledge to hit the "new posts" button and scroll down thread titles.

Overall, my advice is summed up here:

That's only because you're stalking me Max...others of your kind have done that and regretted it. Not in an internet forum though. One was in the Atlanta airport when he followed me into the men's room. No witnesses that time. Another was in a bar in New Orleans. In that case no charges were filed.

If she had been a Muslim woman her "deeply held religious beliefs" would have been accommodated and the gay couple would have been instructed to go down the street.

The moderators here apparently prefer you post the liberally approved mantra and meme so that they won't disagree with it. This event is clearly "current".

Was the hijab interfering with the woman in the top picture doing her job?
Seems like one woman has to cover her hair while doing her job and the other woman just refused to do her job and yet wanted to keep the job she refused to do.

To me this is certainly a current event. The whole subject matter is obviously one based on strong emotions. Even so, adults should be able to discuss what leads them to their opinions on this matter. The pair of pictures rather clearly does depict which side of the fence that someone is on.

Perhaps the main objection by a mod was the little fellow in the top one that says that Obama should kill himself. That's going a bit far.

The reality here is that wearing a hijab may not have affected the first woman's ability to do her job. In the second, the woman was hired and paid to do a specific job. If she found herself unable to do that job she should have quit. I don't understand why she would be put in jail over it.

If her job was to issue licenses according to law it was not for her to pick and choose which law she approves of. There are plenty of laws that we all have to follow whether we agree with them (for whatever reason), or not.

Since I haven't followed the details of any of this I really can't comment further.

 

[as seen on tv]

The woman with the hijab wasn't refusing to do her job. Clerk kim was refusing.

If Mrs hijab had taken a job in a rib restaurant and then refused to serve customers who ordered pork, the comparison would be more direct.

Clerk Kim should resign if her religious beliefs conflict wth her marriage license duties.

That said, her impisonment is a stunt, and a PR disaster for the left. What's next? The penitentiary for school bus drivers who refuse to drive their route due to global warming concerns?

Fire people who don't do their jobs. Don't make political martyrs of them.

So, you're both homophobic (a strong indication of homosexuality) and paranoid!

Put me on ignore, @Boca. That's what most cowardly idiots do.

Agreed!

She should have resigned. I don't know who would have had the authority to fire an elected official. Apparently no one? And the idea of holding a recall election would have likely backfired big time which would have been somewhat embarrassing, not to mention pushing this story to a level of national prominence more so than it already is. Not a good thing in a heated election season.

Throwing her in the slammer until she submits to the government isn't playing very well with a disaffected populous either. Particularly when the sentence could mean life in prison if she pushes it.

disaffected : adjective;

dissatisfied with the people in authority and no longer willing to support them.
​

All in all I don't know where this is going.

I'm with Max on this. Quit your bitching.

The top post I made 'Two questions for 'pro lifers' was moved to the 'Controversial Topics' forum without any indication to me via a message from whichever right wing mod decided to move it. Hell, shouldn't any post made here be de facto 'controversial' just because of the Dem/Repub makeup of them?

I could have made a top post whining like an 8 y/o but didn't because I really don't give chit. Why would I care what happens to one of my post on an obscure discussion board?

I'm well aware that PJ is a right leaning discussion board and they censor accordingly. Hell, look at the 'Most Viewed' over on the right. Who's at the top? It's from a person who's racism is well documented. Hell, he's even admitted as such. But there it is. Why wasn't it redirected to the 'Race Relations' forum? You and I both know why?

So, again, quit you whining and grow up.

 

[Max R.]

Well, to be fair, regardless of the ideology of the poster, "most viewed" wouldn't be most viewed if plenty of their ideological opposites didn't view the thread, much less actually post their disagreements.

It's like Fox News. IIRC, about 25% of their viewers are ardent LWers busily taking notes.

 

[Boca]

So, you're both homophobic (a strong indication of homosexuality) and paranoid!

Phobia causes intense and disabling fear, anxiety, and panic. You recognize that your fear is excessive and unreasonable. You avoid certain situations and places because of your phobia. Your avoidance interferes with your normal routine or causes significant distress.

Clearly that's not my problem. I don't avoid bathrooms or saloons. Nor was my reaction excessive and unreasonable. Indeed they both survived.

Fact is I probably instilled a case of heterophobia in a couple of swisher sweets which is a good thing. Almost charitable.

IF it becomes a life sentence, that will be because of her choice.

Yet you hate gays with a vengeance.

Hate is a very intense emotion. It takes a lot of energy to maintain it. Why people hate has always been area of interest to because it's the source of many of the world's ills. In this particular case, your intense hatred of gays has to have a particular basis. The most common one is self-loathing for homosexual tendencies. That doesn't mean you are completely gay, but that the thoughts of homosexual behavior may have floated into your mind and it was stimulating to you. It's that fear of those feelings, that stimulation, which may motivate you to hate gays so much as a means to avoid temptation.

The 'Most Viewed' appears to the right of whatever forum you're on. My 'Two questions for 'pro lifers'" post had 1,160 views but do you see it there? It had 200 replies out the the total of 254 in just under 4 hrs., albeit most of the remaining 54 was between the teenager oicu812 and me. But still, it was a good discussion generating post.

I wonder why why it was moved?

I'm not sure who the woman is with the hijab in the picture here or what it was about. But I heard last night of a Muslim woman that's a flight attendant, on a small plane so she was the only attendant...she refused to serve alcoholic drinks on the plane. I'd think that was part of her job....but she's getting a pass on it because of her beliefs. There was nobody else that could serve them drinks...so the passengers had to go without. Shouldn't she quit her job too?

I don't know the criteria for determining "most viewed". Julie's Syria thread has 151 replies and 657 views. Obviously it's not total views. A ratio? Most viewed that day regardless of total views?

All you have to do is look at the post date, number of views and today's date and do a little math.

It's not hard.
