Y2HH Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) 1) Where has CFA been banned. Find 1 banning. CFA exists in Chicago, so dont say Chicago as there are ones here. 2) I have talked with SSM groups about it, and not one has ever said that CFA doesnt have the right to their opinion. 3) Not really, first I beat your argument soundly, then I concluded. I never insulted you, I said your statement was a joke, which it was. Nice try though with the woe is me routine. Let me fix the bolded part for you. "I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm saying the things you say are stupid." Isn't this semantics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) don't bs here. The mayor Chicago, Boston, SF, ect said they would ban CFA. so these idiots did indeed attempt to ban CFA, then their lawyers likely told them they would get pwned in court. people in power were trying to ban them. fact. i'm sure most SSM supporters believe in free speech and are reasonable people. my original post was not directed at them, but at these clown mayors and the like that pushed this whole thing into a new realm of stupidity. no you did not good sir. your argument was deeply flawed and you likely knew this and ended with an insult. you actually remind me a little bit of Michele Bachmann. 1) Once again you arent seeing the equivalence. SSM is actually banned, CFA is not banned. I can say I want to do something, that doesnt mean I can actually do it. You keep saying the Mayor of Chicago did this that and the other, but the actual facts are CFA is operating today. 2) Mayors are clowns, there is nothing new with this. 3) My argument isnt flawed at all. It wasnt an insult against you, it was a conclusion about your statement. Are you that PC? QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 07:35 AM) Let me fix the bolded part for you.

You can be the smartest person in the world and make a terrible argument. The hope is that if you are smart, you will see the weakness of your argument and change. If I wanted to attack someone, it would be apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Semantics. The alderman said he'd deny the permit, then this thing blew up in his face. It'll be denied, on different grounds, but we all know CFA was effectively banned from opening a store in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are so confident in the future, any chance you can pick tonight's lotto numbers? If the permit is denied, then we can discuss whether it was right/wrong, illegal/legal. But as of now, I have no idea what will happen, and there is currently a CFA in Chicago, so to say CFA is banned in Chicago, is simply false (not that you said that).

Because that's how politics works. Are you actually being serious right now? Because if you are, honestly, open your eyes. Permits can be denied for so many frivolous reasons it'd make your head spin. If they *want* to deny a permit, they not only can, they will. This isn't about that, though. This is about a over the top statement made...did he ever actually intend to deny it or was it just something he said in the heat of the moment? I think it's just something he said on the spot. That's the only question. Because like I said, if they want to deny it, they can. It's actually that easy. Edited August 14, 2012 by Y2HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Here's another example of "separate-but-equal" not working: A same-sex couple in Nevada is raising awareness about the inequality couples experience without marriage after Spring Valley Hospital refused to recognize their relationship. Brittney Leon and Terri-Ann Simonelli have a domestic partnership, which under Nevada state law grants couples all the same rights as married couples. When Leon checked into the hospital last month because of complications in her pregnancy, the admissions officer told Simonelli she would have to secure power of attorney to be with her partner.

EvilMonkey Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2012/08/22/cop...lurs-into-skin/ LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former University of Nebraska women’s basketball star faked an attack in which she allegedly carved anti-gay slurs into her skin because she felt it would spark change, police said Tuesday. BUt in liberal land, that's ok, because her intentions were good. Fake but accurate and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
