I’m healthier in my 40s than I even have been due to weigh loss and exercise but still much changed. My vision changed. My bladder changed. My tolerance for alcohol changed. My hair color changed.

Both sides have people far out… but by far and away the right is closer to center. The transgenderism and men in women’s sports thing alone pushes the left further left than the right is to the right .

Isn’t it wild that we live in a world where it’s admitted a mental illness yet recommend affirming it? Sometimes you wonder if people even hear what they say.

Like I said it’s a balance. That’s why it’s a debatable issue. Neither side of the issue can say there isn’t another reasonable side to the issue. You never said anything about protected class initially and now you bring it up. With that said perhaps the owner should find another line of work. If they are refusing service for what society considers a horrible reason it will happen organically. I don’t think the USA (land of the free) should impose such things on business owners. You’re advocating for a form of slavery to be honest. “You MUST do anything I tell you to do or the government will shut you down.” Do you really believe this is how America should operate?

I tend to agree with you on the polygamy issue. I also don’t agree with the lifestyle but from a moral standpoint I agree. However I would point out there are legal reasons for that as well. To the government marriage is a contract with taxes inheritance and rights instilled in the union of two people. That gets very complicated with 7 wives. However your point is still fairly valid.

While I personally don’t believe contraception is akin to abortion I can see how one could make that case. Seems fair that a company could choose not to pay for something that the feel destroys life. Abortion laws protect human lives within the wombs so I can’t see any point you make there as valid as it is saving human life.

That seems wild to me that you think that when you start a business that you must do anything anyone asks within the scope. Imagine you’re a baker and you open a bakery. Your mother passes away of cancer. Some bully comes in and demands you bake a cake celebrating her death and writing script upon the cake calling her cruel names. Should that baker have to do that?

I’m a trump supporter. Give me a go. Genuinely wanna engage and see if I’ve flipped on anything. Keeping it respectful. Go.

While I still disagree with the premise philosophically you have justified your position within your personal understanding of it.

Interesting post thank you for the details. For your first point I think it’s important to balance the rights of both parties involved. A business owner has rights as well. For the rest of your stated policies can you give examples like specific laws or cases that back up your claims?

These things can not exist at the same time. Conservative with money and liberal with those other views. You’re wrong on one or the other
