    Blue laws! I'll buy booze when I damn well please.

    Liberals are full of dumb ideas too, like limiting soda portions.

    Just let adults do what they want.

    Come on LaSalle, just about any doctor will write a prescription for birth control pills. If there is one that won't it's not hard to find another one who will. Don't they sell that stuff over the counter nowadays?

    Almost every business will serve anybody. Everybody's money is green. In most cases how does anybody even know if somebody is gay unless they are flamboyant about it? If some bakery won't bake a gay wedding cake because it's violates their core beliefs what's the problem? There are plenty of bakeries that will. No matter what your homo buddies will tell you, it's nowhere near analogous to the 50's and 60's when black people couldn't even get served something to ear or stay in a nice hotel.

    There is a very small percentage of the criminally insane in every segment of society.

    I wasn’t talking about doctors in the first part.

    Who’s denying Birth Control? They don’t want the GOVERNMENT to use Their tax dolloars. Huge difference. Women, for some stupid fucking reason, the think my tax dollars need to pay for their fly trap.

    I’m not goin to comment on the rest because you changed topics already.

    You’re aware birth control is used for other reasons right? And It’s ok for them to pay for our limp dicks but not the other way around?

    No it’s not. Dick pills have nothing to do with the original topic.

    The big difference here which I know you know is.....the government forcing a business to express an idea it does not agree with. The government is COMPELLING speech. There is no bigger detriment to FREE speech than FORCING speech. Not only do we have the right to speak, but we have the right NOT to speak. It's the opposite of the same coin. Ever try to split a dime in half, width-wise?

    Your argument doesn't hold water here because you chose to focus on the wrong thing. A better comparison for you to consider would be if the government forced a licensed marijuana dealer to prominently display signs saying that marijuana is bad for you and a phone number they can call to get access to shock treatments so they wouldn't need pot anymore. It doesn't matter if you agree with the signs or not. What would matter is the government forcing a legally operating business to display information with which they do NOT agree.

    Is it still okay with you?

    No it never was I was just playing devils advocate. I don’t think the government should be telling anyone what they can and cannot say.
