Those are worded in an inaccessable way. “You shall not…”. How about “don’t lie”? It’s the same message without the clear religious overtones that are obviously steeped in the Christian translation from Latin and Greek.

I also disagree with #5. Not everyone’s parents deserve honor. Some are horrible and we shouldn’t make children feel bad for not loving shit parents.

But even if I agreed to the rest, it wouldn’t work. Those things are the basis of social emotional learning. The GOP is explicitly legislating against teaching that.

So the pride flag is necessary because, historically and very recently, non-straight people have been oppressed. Oppressed so badly that many kill themselves because of how they’re treated. It is a travesty that we treat other Americans this way just because they’re different.

Christians do not suffer like that. It’s literally impossible for Christians to suffer like that, as they make up the vast majority of the country. No one can possibly oppress a majority. Hurt their feelings, maybe, but not oppress.

I think if we are putting up religious tenets as a way of showing respect, we should put up the tenets of a religion that is actually oppressed in this country. One that is treated with hostility, and whose members are hated for no reason other than their beliefs. That would show them that we’re an accepting country, who actually follow Jesus’ values of loving our neighbors.

Again, I’m going to assume you’re being serious here and respond as if it’s a real conversation.

You say that the ten commandments are a sign of respect. A respect for whom or what?

I’m assuming that you are actually asking this sincerely.

A pride flag is a symbol of acceptance. It’s saying that it’s okay to be gay. It’s not saying you have to be gay, it’s not saying you have to like that people are gay, just that it’s okay to be gay.

The ten commandments are rules. It’s not a message saying that it’s okay to be Christian, it’s saying that everyone must follow these rules.

The second one is authoritarian. It is restricting everybody, even those outside the group who created it. The first one is not authoritarian. Not giving orders to anybody, and not restricting people outside the group that created it.

I hope that actually answers the question.

Oh Wooly Willy, you scamp!

That’s the other puddle

So the problem is that we know about it? Because you know that happens everyday silently with the homeless in America. You just don’t have to hear about it.

Socialized healthcare is infinitely better. It’s not perfect. Nothing’s perfect.

What is the point of the label at all?

Ah. Is he. Is he.

…

Er, who is Eddy, then, exactly, then?

Hah, TIL

Yep, exactly. But unlike most small business, they provide a service that could literally be the life or death of someone if done wrong. So maybe consider it like a small medical provider.

And that’s why they should be held accountable for doing a good job.

You want a sad book? Mr. Frumble, from that same worm driving an apple book, is a tragic character. In a single day the poor guy has tragedy after tragedy, probably costing him millions, and making him hated by his entire community. There’s no relief. There’s no mercy. His life is chaos.

I hope this concept comes to the US at some point.

That’s the job of the handy man. If the landlord is too cheap to hire enough staff for his company, then he has multiple jobs.

This is cool. Why would I want this?

getting sued for their employer-imposed vaccine mandates

The only case I’ve seen succeed is for a company that ignored legitimate religious exceptions. Have you seen any successful cases that support your use case?

Do you think that company owners want to pay more or less for employees?

Do you think you would pay more or less for an employee that doesn’t have any other good options for a job?

What is the best way to expand your job options?

Companies and politicians are absolutely incentivized to keep a good portion of the populace stupid. Critical thinking and education are detrimental to both, except where you provide some service that requires it.

Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don’t know what that influence might be, but it must’ve been huge.

You should open an almond milk store, undercut the big boys, and make a fortune.

If I had to choose, the bidet was a bigger life improvement. Both are great though.
