Personally, I think Crowder hits the nail right on the head.

Case in point:

"These laws are not about protecting discrimination against people, but the right of businesses to choose their level of engagement in a specific activity."

Yep. Nailed it. No one has the right to question the motivation behind the decision made as to that level of engagement. They just have to admit they have the right to do so.

So it doesn't "count" or make it's point because YOU think its "clowning around"? I think it was perfectly clear, and there are many other video's out there showing the EXACT same thing, you can look them up and see if there are any that past the "crossnote approval test". I think these make my point just fine.

Edit: I think I took your comment wrong, sorry for the defensiveness. Yes there are, I'll try to post a better one for you. sorry for the aggresive tone.

don't get jumpy, my wife is sensitive in that area. I'll go listen to it in private.

So you found the cool one. That counts for something.

(The code for that little guy is colon cool colon with no spaces, FYI. And I go all over the Internet to find appropriately inane images to repeatedly overuse. I get a kick out of it.

I know man, once I reread everything again I realized I cameoff way to aggressive and mistook the tone of your comment. That's why I said sorry and Itruly meant it. Again, sorry about the unnecessary aggressiveness of that last comment.

In the end is a matter of ethics both personal and Christian.

That depends on the subject matter at hand. This is about equality laws that all have to abide by when in business.

If we do business with the world then we risk having to choose between God and man, in doing so making the risk that we will run in to walls.

But the Bible does state "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." One can avoid the walls.

It's it right for a person or business to be targeted specifically because they're not in align with popular opinion?

Again this depends and is not necessarily about popular opinions but about laws.

Wow so anyone who thinks they should have the right and freedom to choose not to participate in something their beliefs are completely against is a fool?.

For crying out loud, a law is a law abide by the law.

Canada has already attempted to silence a pastor for speaking biblical truth. They did manage to suspend him temporarily until he appealed and the Supreme Court ruled the law was unconstitutional. We cannot, in good conscience, obey a law in direct conflict with God's law. That is biblically supported.

Which is a good point but to bury it in namecalling and rudeness kills any validity really.

Anyone who claims to be above the law is a fool, is stupid. Is the Bible rude to call a fool a fool?

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 18:2
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Proverbs 18:6
A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

Proverbs 29:11
A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

Proverbs 26:3-12
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
 
I know, lol, to be against the Confederate flag on this thread's--------------off topic.
Lol.
The fake history that a lot of white trash fools gave their lives for wealthy white plantation owners
and political elite, from 1861-1865?
Like Lincoln said: he couldn't think of a worse cause

True but equality laws are in place, if you want to breach laws of the land then I wouldn't want to.
