Yeah, I read them both; was busy before. I posted the actual Monopoly story before locking. Aelius was mistaken, the article posted did say why the BF was stabbed.
EDIT: In response to the bolded, I would hope you weren't. Story in OP is exaggerated. Locked.
Not that i realized it when i posted it... but since when is an exaggeration grounds for punishment :( Are you banned? I simply locked the thread.

Sometime in the future - America
Scene: [A highway stretching into infinity. Dusk. Rolling prairies extend in all directions.]
"Sir, can you hear me?"
"...Yes, a bit. I'm in alot of pain."
"You've been in an accident, we're here to help you."
"Tttt-hank You, Thank God you're here."
"One question though."
"Ssss-ure. Ugggh."
"I need you to fill out this treatment form. It'll determine if I can help you. If you need any help filling out this form, blink fast."
Treatment form: 370Z
1. Are you Republican or Democrat?
2. Are you straight or LBGT?
3. Are you Muslim?
4. Can you prove you were born in America?
*Note: Please attach birth certificate to back of form.*
"I--I--I'm feeling numb."
"Sir, I need you to answer these questions. I cannot treat Democratic, gay, Muslim immigrants. It's against my beliefs."
"I'm a...I'm...indi..."
"Sir, speak up. I can barely hear you."
"I-I-Independent.."
"What? Independent? An Independent?!"
"Ok sir, we're done here. Pack it up boys, we've got an Independent here."

Another touching example of LGBT outreach, this time coming from Arkansas. Bonus celebrity connection!

yea... having 19 kids these days doesn't rly qualify as 'celebrity' in my book. Much more closer to a mental illness or flat out stupidity.

Kind of off-topic, but...
Not that I have watched the show, because I'd rather not be responsible for a bunch of Quiverfull, Evangelical lunatics' ratings, I really wonder which one is going to go off the rails. Nineteen kids. You know it will be one of them.
I'm chomping at the bit for an expose from one of those kids. Kind of like the tell-alls from the Children of God cult, former Scientologists, etc.
Patience!

So does this also mean it's no longer a hate crime to harm or kill someone because they're gay and their homosexuality is against your religion?
Just one thing I can see coming up should this law be allowed to stand.

That's not really a celebrity, the only thing she's done is made that one hot daughter as well as like thirty siblings for her.
I must admit, my mom watches that show and the intro is the woman mentioned in the article listing off all fifty-three or so of their kids, personally I can't wait till they file for divorce like Jon & Kate because their marriage is holding them back as a celebrity.
My mom also watches The Real Housewives so that should give you a pretty good idea on the quality of the show.

They should rescind this bill, and then reinstate it with one minor alteration - replace every mention of the word "gay" with "stupid".
Then anyone could refuse service to stupid people. So, for example, I could refuse service to the people who wrote the original bill.
What if they refused service to you ? And then kept doing it till well almost everyone is dead then we have a real highlander situation on our hands because if that was the case there can only be one. Which in the end may find him or herself stupid for destroying humanity.
Only way to fight this type of stuff is rather simple. Stop voting for Republicans and Democrats.

Diversity is what make people interesting... This law makes a "way too literal" effort to kill diversity.
That's all I have to say here.

Again another language problem.
It does not discriminate against anyone to insist that we all live under the rule of men using the men's room and women using the women's room.

For one... that is not the only issue on the table. Don't you think it's blatantly dishonest to lump all transgenders into a sex offender role? They are trans genders therefore they go into the bathroom to look at your junk and fondle your kids right?
Edit: They also showed no complaints or increase in criminal activity to show there was an increase in sexual assaults or that transgenders were the cause behind them.

I don't see that complain as something that keeps people up at night. That's not what I'm arguing. For the record I don't think she's arguing that either, Isn't she kinda saying pervs could go into the opposite restroom, pretending to by transgender.
I just don't see how it's discrimination to say, "ok everyone, let's have the women go to the women's room and the men go to the men's room".

That's a pathetic attempt at spin, even for you. The repealed ordinance prohibited "discrimination in employment, housing, real estate transactions, city services, business transactions and public accommodations based on ‘race, ethnicity, national origin, age (if 18 years of age or older), gender, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, marital status, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, disability or veteran status.”
But it's only about bathrooms right?
The victors have the right idea
War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength!

Probably sprayed on there by a person of homosexual orientation for the PR.
When the outrage doesn't exist, make some yourself. It wouldn't be the first time.

Quote: Michigan House Passed Bill Allowing EMTs To Refuse Treatment To Gay People
December 8, 2014
Over the weekend, Republicans in the Michigan Statehouse passed a “license to discriminate” bill that would give just about anyone the right to refuse service to LGBT people if it conflicted with their religious beliefs.
The broadly written Religious Freedom Restoration Act would allow, for example, an EMT to refuse emergency treatment to a gay person or a pharmacist to refuse to refill HIV medication, because God decreed gays and lesbians should be put to death.
The measure is similar to one in Arizona that even right-wing governor Jan Brewer thought went too far and vetoed.
As The New Civil Rights Movement points out, the act is so broad it would let a Catholic high school refuse to hire a Muslim janitor, and a DMV clerk deny a new driver’s license to someone who is divorced.
Michigan Speaker Bolger fasttracked the bill, which passed 59-50 along party lines. “I support individual liberty and I support religious freedom,” Bolger said. “I have been horrified as some have claimed that a person’s faith should only be practiced while hiding in their home or in their church.”
If it passes in the Michigan Senate and is signed by Governor Rick Snyder, a Republican, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act will become law.
“The idea that we need to ‘restore’ religious freedom — rights that are already enshrined in the U.S. Constitution — is a farce created by conservative lawmakers for the sole purpose of appeasing their far-right donors and the religious right,” said Lonnie Scott of Progress Michigan.
In a supreme bit of irony, the Michigan House over the weekend to pass a non-discrimination bill that protects the LGBT community.
“No one from the LGBT community has ever had fire hoses turned on them by the police department, they have never had to drink out of an LGBT water fountain,” pastor Stacy Swimp told the House committee that considered the measure. “There is no record of LGBT — homosexuals, lesbians—being forced to sit at the back of the bus in an LGBT section.”
