Landscaper Under Fire for Refusing to Work for Gays (Page 8/65) F-I-E-R-O NOV 12, 12:13 AM quote Originally posted by Lambo nut: All I get, after reading all this, is the gays better start learning how to do their own landscaping......... Kevin Great, all we need is to have these all over our neighborhoods... Lambo nut NOV 12, 12:43 AM quote Originally posted by F-I-E-R-O: Great, all we need is to have these all over our neighborhoods... OK, probably not a good idea! Plus, how much work would they get done, if they see each other bent over all the time, you know planting things, pulling things, etc. Kevin 84Bill NOV 12, 12:51 AM quote Originally posted by jstricker: Again, Bill, that's YOUR VIEW and YOUR OPINION and you're entitled to it, but don't MAKE ME by force of law live according to your view and that's where this is going. John Stricker And you don't see your OPINION and YOUR VIEW to be intolorant? I'm not the one who is intolorant because (insert reason here), you are. What are you afraid of Jonh? Gunna burn in hell, catch aids, get raped? Your intolorance makes as much sense as the salem witch trials and the spanish inquisition. It serves no purpose other than to divide, separate, discriminate... hate. Is that what America is to you? A cesspool of intolorance? What you want and screw the rest? 84Bill NOV 12, 01:01 AM quote Originally posted by blackrams: I believe that is the issue, can a business owner not sell his/her service or product to a specific group, in this case gays. That is indeed the issue. Can a PUBLIC entity refuse service to (insert minority here). If thats the case I can see business refusing to cater to black, hispanics, etc. But thats race.. What about other minority groups like gays? Thats the issue. So ok.. what about a bunch of guy living in one house? Does that mean they are gay? Does that mean John can refuse them service or even hire one of them? Sure it's ok for guys to live in one house but not gay guys? It makes no sense. quote What if they choose to not sell to drug dealers or gangs because what the potential customer represented was against their religios beliefs. Now you've got a religious freedom issue. BTW, my post above was an honest question, not meant as a flame. Tolerance, that road goes both ways, seems to me the gay dudes should understand and be tolerant of the businesses beliefs. It does go both ways doesn't it? Hmm, maybe not. The fact is a PUBLIC entity can not discriminate and it appears there is a new line about to be drawn on the issue of discrimination against gays.. Personally I find the lifestyle to be revolting and ... just plain EEEWWW which thats why I'm not gay. But I'm not going to discriminate agains a gay person no more than I discriminate against anyone else be they black, hindu or gay... I don't care. Scott-Wa NOV 12, 01:21 AM And the only people talking about the issue here are the straight guys... The only gay person doesn't really care We're here, We're straight, and We're wasting bandwidth! Jarhead 2m4 NOV 12, 01:21 AM i just choose not to associate myself with homosexuals. period. i dont talk to them, i dont do business with them, and i wouldnt shake their hand if i ever was introduced to one. If i dont know that they are gay, then its all the same to me. I would like it just that i never have to know. Boondawg NOV 12, 04:51 AM The Gays and I have one thing in common. We want to be treated just like everyone else, no matter who we sleep with. Cliff Pennock NOV 12, 05:14 AM Wow. Reading some of the stuff here makes me glad that I live in a country where there's a complete acceptance of gay people. In fact, there's only one group of people here that don't accept gay people and those are the muslims. It's one of the reasons I can't get myself to moving to the States, because I can't live in a society that's displays so much intolerance towards gay people. What's next? Small signs on restaurants' doors that read: "straight people only"? Are gays allowed to call you "sir" or should they address you with "Massa"? Not shaking hands with gay people if you were introduced to them? OMFG. You sir, disgust me. pokeyfiero NOV 12, 05:20 AM quote Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: Wow.

You are right and bums don't get murdered or churches burned by a gang of "bored" teenagers.. Right? Come on Pokey.. don't delude yourself.. it's alot worse than you allow yourself to comprehend. quote A forum on the Garden Guy Web site, normally reserved for discussions about landscaping and shrubbery, was bombarded with angry comments and venomous attacks from as far away as Australia. Some people attacked the Farbers' beliefs, threatened the couple and their five children, and said they ought to be sodomized. Others condemned gays as sinners headed toward damnation. Farber, whose company's Web site has long included Biblical quotes and a link to a Web site that opposes gay marriage, said she was shocked by the reaction.
