Doctor Butts posted:How did they backtrack? I don't recall this. They dropped some support for the Family Research Council after limited backlash. For the most part, it wasn't very public quote:In September 2012, The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) announced that Chick-fil-A has "ceased donating to organizations that promote discrimination, specifically against LGBT civil rights." According to the TCRA, Chick-fil-A officials stated in an internal document that they "will treat every person equally, regardless of sexual orientation", although there had never been any accusations of discrimination against the company, only against the company and its foundations' contributions. The WinShape Foundation also announced they'd be taking a closer look at who they donate, in reality the controversy actually spikes Chic Fil A's profits, but for all the Conservative Gloating, Chic Fil A didn't toe the line like Conservatives thought they would. They are still no doubt donating to hate groups, but are being a little more careful about it. quote:In March 2014, new tax filings from 2012 showed that Chick-fil-A had stopped funding all but one organization which had been previously criticized. The company created a new foundation, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, to fund outside groups. WinShape Foundation's 2012 tax filings showed funding only for its own programs, a Berry College scholarship fund and Lars WinShape, a home for needy children in Brazil

Agreed, but I also want to be That Guy and call out his squabble over the IRS thing as apples to oranges. There's a world of difference between targeting groups that are explicitly anti-tax for higher tax scrutiny and writing off the wholesale abuse of an entire class of people because of their race/status/poverty/whatever.

quote:The venomous anti-Tea Party liberal is really not much different from the conservative who seethes at images of black protesters on his television screen. They know who the bad people are and don’t intend to show them any mercy. There is no moral complexity they feel compelled to consider. While I'm sure there are liberals who write off tea-partiers wholesale, they aren't being "triggered" by the color of the persons skin. Neither is a good thing to do, one is very very much worse. Cliven Bundy "protested" for much much more trivial reasons and protested in much more questionable ways and he had near universal support from conservatives. At the very least I didn't see many of them immediately declaring Bundy the bad guy just because he was against the cops.

The truth is in the middle always helps whoever is wrong or on the bad side of an argument, so conservative's love it. It's why we have so many news article's starting with questions, they don't want to be held accountable for having an opinion.

It's why we have so many news article's starting with questions, they don't want to be held accountable for having an opinion. I don't know. We're clearly hanging out with/listening to different conservatives because the ones I'm aware of are all "We're always right and you're always wrong." The Ferguson stuff was a pretty huge case of it because a lot of people I know/saw crowed about the DOJ report "proving them right" about "hands up, don't shoot" and Michael Brown and totally ignored that other report. Just hearing one acknowledge it as bad and the general conservative silence about it as bad was kind of shocking to me. But if you're talking about people who "don't want to be accountable for having an opinion" then we're definitely thinking of different people.

Archonex posted:So apparently a ton of media outlets are reporting that two men dressed in drag just tried to crash the gate at Fort Meade. There are reports of someone on the base possibly having been injured, and one of the people in the car is almost certainly dead. They were drug dealers who got off an an exit too early (probably heading on 100) and wound up in the front gate of the fuckin' NSA with an assload of Cocaine and no badges to get through while being dressed up in disguise (they were neither trans* nor transvestites; they were probably heading to Columbia to deal). The Security Guards see they have no badge, and search their vehicle as is their right to do on Federal Grounds before moving them around. They freak the gently caress out and try to ran their way out. The Guards have shotties and UMP45s. It didn't end well, but they were hosed already because the guards had found the cocaine.

Frankly I'm glad Indiana lawmakers are being taken to task for this because the First Amendment does not and should not apply to businesses for one simple reason: contrary to what their lobbyists want you to believe, businesses are not people. They serve the people, period. If an atheist-run business tried to pull this crap by turning Christians away, you can be sure that these numbskulls would be foaming at the mouth and trying to deny said atheist-run business the right they're trying to give Christian-run businesses.

Steps 4 and 5 are pure however. Filtering out the weird language, I think Step 3 is basically understandable: your body has been hurt, but dwelling on guilt and pain, or blaming people (themselves or others) isn't how you heal and is likely to send you further into depression and anger. The idea is to accept that your body has been wounded and hurt but you shouldn't let it destroy you mentally or emotionally. 4 and 5 go completely off the rails and whoever came up with them should be ashamed, though.

Nobody is ever going to be forced to write a book on a topic they don't want to write about (what the gently caress?). It's also endlessly amusing how conservative Christians seem to believe that pork is Muslim kryptonite.
