I don't know what you're talking about and don't really follow what point you're trying to make. Is this a Canadian thing?

Dude, we're going to drain at least two of those! TWO DAYS until HOLLISTER MAYHEM! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

This is just a bunch of media hype. The leftmedia is still quite upset that those pesky Christians actually voted in the last election to help defeat their darling sKerry. Anything they can do to focus on this 'religious right' in a negative or sinister light, they'll do. By focusing on the 'religious right' as the cause of their political troubles, America's leftists avoid facing the fact that their message is the reason they aren't doing very well politically right now.

Nobody claimed that it did - or desires to do so. The argument presented here is asinine. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Have you read the Constitution? If so, it doesn't show because 'separation of Church and State' is not contained anywhere in the document. See a letter from Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists to find a similar phrase: "Gentlemen The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing. Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem. Thomas Jefferson Jan. 1. 1802." Despite the fact that the phrase isn't in our nation's Constitution, the first ammendment has been misconstrued to read just that so I assume that's the basis from which you make such a statement. Regardless, Gov. Owens' veto in no way makes a "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Deal with it.

I have a few questions: 1) Where am I? 2) Whose computer am I on? and most importantly 3) WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES?!?!?!?!?!? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm 32 and have a reputation as a tequila guzzling JACKASS. Some people tell me that I am not a good JACKASS but I am trying really hard. Don't hear about any of THEM starring in a Budweiser Super Bowl commercial with the famous clydesdales!

Zhills or Titusville would be a fun time.

Whoa! Hookitt might be coming! YES! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

No sleep? Why? Do you secretly plan a JACKASSnapping? I hear tequila works really good as bait. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You're right Karen, that was a generalization on my part. Applies to some but not all and definitely not you.

Cry 'havoc!' and let loose the hounds of war! Hehehehehehehe. Good job Mike! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

How about sentence any illegals caught in the US to two years hard labor prior to deportation. That hard labor will be spent digging a border trench 50 feet wide and 25 feet deep along the border. Prior to leaving, they get to watch parts of it being mined! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Like Skydekker, I see your point but you take an extreme position. Let's examine it. A gun shop sells mainly: guns and ammo. A pharmacy sells: a plethora of drugs. The pharmacist in question found it morally objectionable to serve one particular type out of...probably hundreds or thousands. The # would probably depend on how the drugs were classified. 1/2 or 1/100 or 1/1000 (approximate on the latter two)....hmmmm...I don't see the two as similar, but then again I deal with #s quite a bit and am more mathematically savvy than most. Me personally, were I a manager within the corporation, would do the following: a) seek to reassign the pharmacist to a non-customer service pharmacist postion b) direct HR to ask all prospective pharmacist hirees if they would have similar problems, though this would sicken me it would be best for the company c) compensate the offended buyer in some manner d) ask all pharmacists in the company if they had similar issues The leftists calling for the pharmacists head are blowing this out of proportion due to the nature of the drugs in question, their anti-life agenda, and utter contempt for the religious views the pharmacist in question espouses.

Last night, Herradura Reposado. Right now, coffee. Tonight...beer and tequila. Tomorrow night: tequila Wednesday nite: tequila Thursday nite: tequila Friday nite: beer and tequila Saturday nite: LOTS OF TEQUILA

US: no; Canada: yes. Fuck Canada. Your analogy takes it to the extreme. Of course no.

What the hell is wrong with that concept? Clicky I have no problem with requiring an ID to vote. One wonders how anyone can claim to be against fraudulent voting and simultaneously decry requiring an ID to vote.

Any person in the industry with hiring authority that doesn't have that in the back of their mind is an incompetent buffon. Of course one doesn't justify the non-hire for that alone - one finds other reasons if possible. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

The illegal immigration issue hasn't been satisfactorily addressed by either party. Tom Tancredo is one of a few who have taken the issue head on. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I neither follow this analogy nor care what color anyone is. I can follow that - you're right, I'd be ticked the hell off and using all sorts of vile and heinous adjectives to describe the sorry bastards who did such a thing. I still maintain that the pharmacist shouldn't lose their license. Firing - perhaps. Transfer to a non-customer service pharmaceutical job - absolutely. Loss of license - no. The question 'are you Christian' is now mandatory for all aspiring corporate pharmacists unless corporate HR departments are completely inept. Government intervention of this nature perturbs me along the lines I mentioned previously. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Nicely stated. I agree and disagree. I think the pharmacy owner or corporation handled this poorly. The correct way to handle that would have been to have another pharmacist fill the prescription and then deal with the problem internally. If the woman's beliefs interfere with her being a pharmacist so much that her services no longer generate income for the company/LLC for which she's working, then she shouldn't work there, this is true. I don't see that as the case here. I don't think it an onerous out-of-pocket expense to drive to another pharmacy, but that's just me. With regards to the government forcing a doctor to perform procedures he/she might find unethical, I disagree entirely. The 'perform the procedure or get into another line of work' position is akin to placing a 'Catholics Need Not Apply' sign out there for several fields of medicine. This issue came up in the news in the past few of years when Sens. Feinstein and Boxer were pushing some UN treaty - the acronym CEDAW comes to mind for some odd reason; have to look that up. It also came up more recently when performing an abortion was made part of an ob/gyn curriculum. Never heard much more about that. I find such things perturbing on many levels. I don't follow your distinction between private companies/corporations as it applies to the issue at hand. If a company or person is under contract to provide a service then that service legally has to be provided. The pharmacist in question could have had a colleague fill the thing and avoided this imbroglio and unnecessary gov't involvement. The very fact that such a case exists makes any HR person worth anything required to think about the ramifications of hiring any Christian in that industry now. If they don't ask about their beliefs and if they would fill such a prescription, then the HR person isn't doing their job and should be canned. Lawsuits cost money and corporations exist to make profits for shareholders.
