Redial,

The business has always been closed on Sundays even though all other restaurants were open due to his religious beliefs.

That was the concept the business was built on.

Gay Marriage passed years ago so that's over and done.

I think this continued attack has just been an excuse to pressure an openly professing Christian business into openly rejecting and disavowing its Christian heritage.

But...you know why this will be a short lived victory?

Because it's not the ultimate goal.

What is the ultimate goal?

The acceptance of Gay Marriage by mainstream Christians and mainstream America.

We will continue to see one attack after another on Christian based businesses that even hint at not supporting Gay Marriage even though it's already law.

The founder passed away in 2014 and I would guess the kids are disappointed splitting the money 3 ways.

The business has enjoyed tremendous growth but it wasn't enough.

Really...their food and variety is sort of ordinary but the concept the business was built appealed to a great many people.

They're going to have to step up their game and really compete now.

They might even have to start opening on Sundays.

btw...do you really think airports will let them in now?

Boaz,

"Everyone is looking at everyone else's pocketbook and saying, "You dont need that"."

No...not everyone. That's an exaggeration.

That's the lie people like to tell to avoid discussing the real truth.

Boaz,

"One thing that cannot be denied is that capitalism creates wealth."

Ok...your statement is true.

You missed my point if you think I'm saying otherwise.

Capitalism has indeed raised the standard of living for human beings everywhere (well...a lot anyway)

All depends on where you are in the food chain or how lucky you got in life.

Simply...either you are comfortable seeing human beings starving in the streets or you aren't.

Or you might think it's fine and dandy that people die because they avoid going to the doctor.

Sure...there's a lot of abuse of the welfare system but my point is (if you didn't quite get it), I think the rich hording billions of dollars is a serious societal systemic dysfunction.

Boaz,

The truth remains there are people who for whatever reasons, can not care for themselves.

Be it physical, mental or other limitations. They need to be taken care of unless you don't mind people dying in the streets.

One big problem is people who game the system which includes greedy rich who are parasites feeding on a system contributing nothing with an exaggerated sense of self-worth, importance and entitlement and lazy poor who can be described just the same.

In your post you have managed to successfully demonstrate both extremes what is good and what is wrong with capitalism.

Tfd,

"They're already quite cognizant of the evils of Capitalism."

Capitalism and Socialism sustain each other.

The existence of each perpetuates the other.

Ideally each system should find ways to accommodate the other but instead politicians use both as political tools irrespective of the needs of either.

Both are failing.

Ham,

"Walls don't work"

Can you really say "locks work".

We lock our doors but people can still get in.

Like people say, "locks keep honest people honest".

"Travelers also have the option of getting an Enhanced ID, which is Real ID-compliant and can be used for domestic travel, as well as for traveling from Canada, Mexico and some Caribbean countries by sea or land, but not on flights. Enhanced IDs are only available to American citizens, while anyone with lawful presence in the United States can get a Real ID."

It would appear Real ID after 2020 will work for sea or land Canadian travel but not air.

Redial,

"REAL ID is good enough."

Not for international.

Snoofy,

Just try going into Canada without a passport.

You'll find out if you're a good neighbor.

Redial,

"Does that matter?"

The concept "good fences make good neighbors" is known around the world.

Border disputes go way back and walls/fences are a way to keep the peace.

The Berlin Wall was intended to keep people in with guards instructed to shoot to kill.

How can anyone not see there's a difference?

Dix,

You're right...

America is governed by laws...not mob rule.

The Electoral College for example.

Mod,

Those were the quoted words of Jesus.

He also warned that salt can lose its flavor and become useless.

Mod,

Funny that liberals think they have anything to grandstand about.

Christians over the years have had to learn more humility to function within a democracy like America.

I mean...we're the "salt of the earth".

Mod,

"As a moderate, I reject both."

Aaah....that makes you a grandstander.

A true moderate rejects neither but listens to both.

This is likely how the future of medical care will be working more than you think.

Maybe not posting on social networks, but showing pictures to online health care professionals associated with health insurance is going to be happening more and more as cost savings.

Bored,

"The differences are:
Weinstein and Epstein were rich and were not up for SCOTUS."

There is one other difference and is what causes so much doubt about the claims against BK.

The 'stein's had lifestyles built around exploiting women.

BK had a proven history and lifestyle that was built on serving the common good and a family man.

Danni,

"Idiots who hate Hillary is a club, a very, very dumb club."

One thing I always found a little odd about Hillary is that both her and her good friend Huma were both enabling women tolerating husbands who were actually kinda creepy.

Something about her personally just rings inconsistent with the image she's supposed to have as a strong woman in control.

Mod,

Let's not forget their "farmy sideburns".

What you wrote is appalling and no doubt love to call conservatives deplorable.

And don't bother attacking them for voting for Trump.

It's too late.

You've showed your true colors.

Mod,

"I'm a White farmer living in America's heartland. I have an earnest, regular working-guy farmy expression on my face. I wear a farmy looking shirt, hat and glasses. How could Trump have lied to me?"

Your use of the word "farmy" is showing incredible contempt for their way of life and just who they are.

"farmy looking shirt"....please tell us...what is a farmy looking shirt.

And you expect me to believe you actually have any concern for farmers?

Attack them for voting for Trump, but their shirt??

That speaks volumes about you.

Personally I think His point is showing how you and I can not not sin.

That's really what is at the core of Christianity.

Admitting you are a sinner and cut off from the Father but for Jesus.

Dan,

Just because Jesus is not quoted in the Bible speaking on something is not proof He never did speak on it or have an opinion.

Jesus spoke on adultery as even lusting after a woman.

Why would lusting men not be a sin?

Lft,

I do believe that may be an indication but personally I would not attempt to make that call.

There are entire Christian denominations some other Christians consider cults.

I'm staying away from that sort of thinking.

Jesus said there are people who believe they are "Christian" but He doesn't know them.

I'll leave speaking as God for other people.

Christians themselves are not qualified or even able to judge saying who is a "real" Christian and who isn't.

How do non-believers see themselves as qualified to know the difference?
