  1. Irrelevant. (Not trying to be smug; but that's what it is.)
  2. Seriously? OK, thanks for the education; it's all new to me. Please read the actual text of the First Amendment.
  3. They weren't just accommodating customers on religious beliefs. As noted in the companion thread, this guy's tat is INTENDED as a deliberate "fuck you" to every Muslim who reads it. A private business in the US has the right to deem otherwise First Amendment-protected conduct disruptive and tell people to stop acting like an asshole or leave the premises. People who pick fights tend to get them.
  4. No, no, you've got the wrong attitude. It's always a great idea to seek medical advice from anonymous people on a skydiving website who have no medical training. Embrace the logic of it.
  5. ^This. As noted in the companion thread in SC, he was looking for a reaction, and he got one. He clearly was so moved by his time in-country that he will now spend his lifetime using his body to say fuck you to Muslims. Which is his First Amendment right. Which doesn't make him any less an asshole. And private businesses in the US have the right to refuse service to people who are exercising their Constitutional right to act like assholes on their premises.
  6. I'll go on record as saying that, on balance, I agree with all of Madison's post #26, including the snip of post #18 that he quoted. That being said, it does seem that the Qataris are getting a reputation that's starting to follow them, if not precede them, as being annoying guests.
  7. I find it warmly ironic that one of the best savings acct rates in the US is apparently offered by Pioneer Muslim Federal Credit Union at 3.03% APY. http://www.gobankingrates.com/savings-account/what-is-the-average-savings-account-interest-rate/
  8. Attaboy. We'll turn you into a colonist yet. Anyhoo, the point of the thread is how the royals get their rise while their grimy subjects get the shaft. If I was a Brit I'd be pretty pissed. Then again, you can all just eat cake...
  9. LOL, you people are all missing what's really going on here. It's the ol' Ann Coulter trick. How often is Lake Wales part of our community's conversation? Pretty much never, right? But now look who everyone's talking about! There's no such thing as bad publicity. There's an outfit wedged among the vineyards of California that's proof positive of that.
  10. Not at all - we got that out of our systems generations ago. Our attitude is amazement that more self-respecting Brit citizens don't tell Princess Katie: "Hey, lady! We pay you how much? For doing what? Pffft! Show us your tits!"
  11. Of course we all know lawyers pad the bill. Like gov't is keeping track of hours. Hell they can't even keep track of the money they have. Gov't is owned by the lawyers. Doh!! You made that shit up, too! In every state and federal court I'm aware of, capital fee petitions are submitted to the court and scrutinized with a very, VERY fine-toothed comb. You bet your sweet ass they keep damned close track of the hours. Yes, yes, I know, the judges are in cahoots; they're part of the conspiracy. Anyhow, you made it up, and you need a new foil hat.
  12. Hmm. Are you allowed to call BIGUN that (who's hardly a liberal), while Labrys gets a week off for reacting to your deliberately trolling her? I guess we'll find out.
  13. We traded those in for dentistry and orthodontics.
  14. zzzzz huh? Oh.... boobies.
  15. That's not the pay; that's the raise. As in: over & above.
  16. I know after reading this thread, I am absolutely convinced.
  17. That's what the French did to Marie Antoinette over this kind of shit. Don't you people have any self-respect? At least we piss our money away on aircraft carriers so we can do stuff like fight the brown people and save Guam for democracy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/03/queen-of-england-raise_n_3005974.html
  18. And yet you're the one who typed that. Bwahaha. That's pretty bad. Oh, well, at least she knows where her uterus is. I hope.
  19. Hm? Oh, the pic in the story keeps changing through the day. Yeah, the chick's a hottie. No, that won't garner him more female votes.
  20. I am confident that the federal courts will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected legislature. Cute. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure it was a Republican-ly elected legislature.
  21. Really? Hm. We all know how massive the expenditure's been. How much of a lag time would you think applies, and why?
