I'm morbidly curious, are Muslims now less trusted than Atheists?

JT Jag posted:They are called Love Hotels and while I know your accusation of disgust is on a financial level they actually tend to be very posh. They sound like something which would fall under your city's brothel laws. Why would you want to restore brothels to your city and needlessly piss off the churchgoing vote?

My Imaginary GF posted:America doesn't rent hotels by the hour; it goes against everything our zoning laws stand for. When you purchase a room in America, you purchase it for a night. There are plenty of lovely motels in America that rent rooms by the hour, not explicitly for loving, but it's very much implied. Like, I know you're a gimmick, but you're just wrong here.

paranoid randroid posted:(he doesnt actually live in chicago, lmao) I'm out of town for work. It's a Presidential election cycle, for pete's sake. I will return, and I will return to a better city, a more harmonious city, a city that is working on becoming one city rather than the current black metropolis and the rest of Chicago, all thanks to the tireless efforts of Mayor Emanuel. JT Jag posted:And yet these hotels still exist. Clearly the free market has decided there's a need for them! Unfortunately, the free market has also decided there's a place for Backpages. That doesn't mean its right, nor does it mean it should be encouraged with assistive zoning laws.

Why won't Obummer let us exploit our employees even more quote:While the upfront costs were lower for Munchery with a work force of contractors — who receive a 1099 form for their taxes rather than the W-2 reserved for employees — this approach was ultimately bad for business. So basically: we want to treat them like employees but that's too expensive and 20th century for the INTERNET AGE of contractors.

This ain't "swing by a motel for anonymous internet sex" we're talking about. I had a co-worker who ended up having to stay in one while in Japan (no hotel rooms available otherwise at per diem rate) and he mentioned it wasn't seedy or anything. I was surprised, because I assumed they'd be like the few still existing hourly hotels around locally, i.e. a place to go to get high or bang out a cheap hooker.

The House just passed, by voice vote, a five day CR, so the government is funded through next Wednesday. There is no legislative work in the House on Monday so it's hard to see how Paul Ryan will get around the 72 hour rule the House Republicans set up to review all bills. Unless he ignores that. But he'd never do that, would he? This is a new day with Speaker Ryan. None of that business Boehner used to pull.

I wish the Ignore List would also ignore quotes by that person. In this thread everyone loves getting trolled and quoting their troll so they can Prove Them Wrong so I don't know why I bother. In other news... quote:The U.S. abortion rate has declined by more than one-third over the past two decades to a record low, federal officials reported Friday. Read the full article if you want to hear pro-life people gloat over how their "pregnancy care centers" and work to increase the stigma of abortion clearly deserves all the credit

SavageBastard posted:Is there a reason that nobody is talking about the 25% of Democrats that do not oppose Trump's ban on Muslims in that NBC poll? Lest we forget, there is likely a bias to this poll towards underreporting of the willingness to ban muslims. Of course folks don't show their true feelings to people they've never met calling them on the phone. Question is, how many Americans would be willing to live with a fully constitutional ban on islamic aliens? Luigi Thirty posted:The woman running for Barbara Boxer's seat on the Democratic ticket gave a speech saying 20% of Muslims are "willing to use terrorism" Don't misrepresent her statements. I believe she stated that between 5 and 20 percent of muslims in the arab world want a caliph and are sympathetic towards terrorist organizations like ISIL.

There's a contingent of Dems who seem universally concerned with out-National Security'ing the Rs by running rightward on anything connected to terrorism as fast as they can. And putting a discriminatory ban on immigration that everyone then forgets about and just lets hang around for decades is kinda America's thing, really, since only foreigners are affected.
