The problem is when certain organizations get large enough, community backlash can be quelled by propaganda or consumer apathy.

What may work to shutter a local chain or mom 'n pop may not work on a sufficiently large regional chain.

Community backlash, sure.

National backlash, probably not.

Remember, it took just the accusation of fraud to take down a multi-national firm.

There was a vacated judgment on the firm. They were released of all accusations of fraud.

So, no, just the accusation of fraud lead to their demise.

It's amazing how people grow balls when they can hide in a crowd.

big talk for a guy who welches on bets.

There is no nominee yet!

This is a fair argument, or at least a million times better than the last. I'll be back for you.

Yeah if capitalism ran the country completely, that's how your country would be.
signs of "no blacks" or "no gays" or "no muslims" in many storefront windows.

It's not beauty. that's our history.
And your solution is?
The solution is do not let any laws based on religion or discrimination pass. Give all the humans in your country equal rights to practice their spirituality freely; as long as their religion doesn't dictate physically harming others, or removing the rights of others.

Interesting ground you choose to tread on. Your solution would totally outlaw abortion, a lot of people consider the fertilized egg to be a human child. It can have nothing to do with religion and breaks all of your laws.

Randomly wanted to pop in and mentioned that Elise Stefanik got that booty though.

I totally forgot I met her when she was campaigning.

Also, dependent on where you are there aren't always three others that are stepping up to fill in a Service that was denied to someone else...

Looks like a business opportunity to me.

Lakshmi.Flavin said: »
And finally if someone is going to deny service to anyone for any reason they should also be willing to face the backlash that comes along with it... Just like they can deny service other can refuse to use that service... Death threats and all that nonsense are definitely unacceptable but refusing to use that service and spreading the knowledge that this place refuses service because of x y or z is expected for sure...

I agree with that, but stop short of suing them and death threats as well.

This common ground thing is no fun by the way..

Back not not understanding a 4 week old fetus is not a person?

Back to missing the context of the post I see..

As would be expected from an accounting firm.

Chapter 2: Prof. Oak asks Noah to collect all the species and put them onto a boat straight out of This Old House.

With help from Bob Vila, Noah began his journey to America. Did you know kids, that Noah was the first American?

Apparently you are, otherwise you would have never made that comment since it has no bearing on the context of the post.

Depends on the context.

Funny coming from the guy that doesn't understand context.

Literally you took what Josi said and said that means his solution would "totally outlaw abortion".

Why are you hung up acting like can't read every single time I say anything?

You can obviously read. It's the following a conversation you seem to have problems with. Not my fault.
