Disney favors preserving the right of persons to force other persons to participate in religious ceremonies.

[Xavier_Onassis]

That is bullshit.

Disney should  boycott Georgia if they pass this.

[Plane]

  I think we will pass it and we will feel good about it .

     It is already estimated to have a cost of a billion or so just for Atlanta.

        This is a low price for freedom.

[Xavier_Onassis]

What freedom?  This is an issue about bigotry, not freedom.

[sirs]

1 person's concern about constitutional freedom of religious expression is another person's problem with hateful intolerance

[Xavier_Onassis]

What I hate is intolerance. I am intolerant of intolerance.

No one is forcing anyone to marry gays or lesbians, but to say that it is a religious right to refuse to sell them a cake, flowers or a sandwich, that is not any crucial part of any religion.

The Bible says a lot of intolerant things, but it does not say that  selling gays or lesbians  flowers, cakes or sandwiches is a sin.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Disney, of course, has the right to film and pursue whatever business opportunities it wishes outside of Georgia if it wishes.

[sirs]

You, who exemplify the left's intolerance, don't get to decide what constitutes as "crucial" as it relates to someone else's religious freedom.  End of story

But yes, Disney can go anywhere it wants. 

[Xavier_Onassis]

I have as much right as you to have an opinion.  If they pass this, it will cost them.

They want to stop a train that let the station long ago.

[sirs]

And once again, xo trying to argue a point no one has made....and yes, that train left LONG ago  No one said you can't have an opinion.  What you do NOT get to do is to decide for someone else what is "crucial" to their freedom of religious expression

[Plane]

  If you can tolerate the idea that a person should be forced to participate in a religious ceremony that is anathema to him , then you can tolerate anything.

   

[Xavier_Onassis]

WHAT religious ceremony? Baking a cake is not participating in a wedding any more than providing electricity for the venue.

No one is actually forcing anyone to participate in any gay wedding.

[Plane]

No one is actually forcing anyone to participate in any gay wedding.

If you cannot refuse to participate , you are being forced to participate.
The first amendment is a dead letter.

[sirs]

BINGO!

[Plane]

Disney, of course, has the right to film and pursue whatever business opportunities it wishes outside of Georgia if it wishes.

I think this is an important point , and it is true.

Other moviemakers and the NFL have also threatened to pull their money making activities out of Georgia costing us in excess of a billion dollars per year.

This is no argument that they are right , but an argument of might.

In this case I would rather be right, odds are good that Disney will want Georgia money again in the future, and the NFL does not really want the Falcons to operate out of Podunk.
