I just hope that NE is 'converted' to the L1 way, and not vice versa - but I'm pretty confident that's how it will go. John Elliot didn't get where he is by making bad decisions, I trust he knows what he's doing. [Even though I still hate elogs! LOL] ;)

I should add: I wouldn't know about the other kind, either, except I saw someone sneeze once, after snorting, and it sure looked like it hurt! :eek:

That's exactly right, and the provision of a service to the general public is not part of exercising one's religion. Nor is the imposition of religious beliefs on others, which is where the line is drawn. It's ok to believe homosexuality is a sin, it's not ok to refuse to serve them when it is...

You know it hurts to splurt Coke out of your nose?! [The kind that's not sposed to go into your nose, I mean] :drowning:

The Autobiography of Mark Twain is one of the few books I keep, even with a Kindle and seriously limited space. [It's not a small book, lol] Forbidden to be published until 100 years after his death, [he was always mindful of the effect of his writing on those he cared about], it has some pretty...

I don't think a response to disrespect "validates and dignifies it", at least not if done properly, but sometimes, no response may be the right one. Usually, though, I tend to go with the "all that is necessary for evil to survive is for good men to do nothing" school of thought. What I...

Freedom of thought does not equal freedom of actions.

I don't believe that "totally ignored" is credible - disrespect requires a response, lest it escalate. [Except in road rage - that's not a face to face encounter]. Disrespect is not acceptable from those who choose to serve the public. Considering how many beliefs one can claim, it is...

when you assume, that makes you look pretty bad. I can see a whole lot of people who would have disapproved of this little boy, [and his parents] without knowing anything more than what they saw...

DARPA needs to invest in some ballet teachers, lol. OTOH, they certainly are totally humanistic! :D

It's good to know I can skip the trailer number, but I still don't get zip codes on load info, and have to select "BOL w POD" twice, even on one page, which most of them are. It's not a big deal, I just wondered. Though sometimes, the zip code can make a difference when choosing the destination...

Except that they are augmented by a great many people who are not themselves G, L, B, or T, [like me], but feel they deserve the same rights as the rest of us. And that is not "a tiny percentage of the population", it is the majority. That's why bills [like Indiana's] that legalize the practice...

How you got that out of what I wrote is beyond me. No one should have to pick & choose from vendors who serve the public, looking for one who 'welcomes' them. If they prefer, they can, but those who serve the public must 'welcome' everyone, whatever their beliefs. You never answered a...

This is just muckraking, plain & simple.

I noticed the antibiotic Cipro has that same effect: weird dreams. [If they are the same medication, it's cause I'm too long out of nursing to remember, and too lazy to look it up.] RMSF sounds horrible, but it could be worse: many women are unaware of the way some antibiotics can cancel out...

I wonder why we don't get zip codes on the QC addresses lately? And when scanning, why do I select "BOL w POD" upfront, only to have it disappear and have to be re entered when ready to send? Oh - and am I supposed to include "trailer number" on the vehicle inspection, even though it isn't a...

I've no idea who the women referred to are, but one can find bad apples in any barrel - not every parent is a good one, in any configuration. The boys from Columbine had intact nuclear families, you know. Nobody disagrees that kids do best with two parents, one of each gender, who love and...

Bliss is the average voter, who has no idea of how many evangelical Christians think, and are using home schooling to teach their children to think. In the book I'm reading, I came across an editorial in the Tulsa Tribune, from December, 1934, when the high schools had reinstated dances, 14...

Religion goes further than just "asking if you'd like to hear about something". A LOT further. For example, why can't I buy alcohol on Sunday? As far as putting people out of business, how many legislators would be elected if they admit to being atheist? You know many are, but the hypocrisy of...

As a matter of fact, yes. Because pedophiles are not homosexuals, and vice versa. What I can't wrap my head around is people having kids they don't want, and abusing and mistreating and neglecting them. If two men or two women love each other and want kids, and want to raise them with love, to...
