Apple says Mississippi 'religious freedom' bill 'empowers discrimination'
The point is, believer of fake man up in the clouds, is that people simply do their jobs under much worse circumstances than selling a cake or pizza to much worse people. Just do your job and shut up.designr said:

So many problems that make this pithy bumper sticker sentiment a poor comparison to what's being discussed. It also lays bare the thought process of the folks opposing religion freedom: Not getting a cake or pizza or photographer or DJ for their wedding is like a life or death proposition. Sheesh. You just made the argument much weaker.

No one is asking you to endorse them being gay. If you conduct business transactions with LGBT folks then you've done well. You and every other believer in a fake man in the clouds are entitled to believe whatever you want. No one is stopping that.icoco3 said:
The problem with that "feel good" meme is that Christians already "serve" pizza to gay people, serve cakes to gay people, serve whatever to gay people... The issue is when it comes to endorsing a wedding, gay event, etc. The meme is comparing apples and oranges. My wife bakes for a farmers market and we have plenty of gay customers whom we serve gladly. Endorsing them being gay never comes into the picture as we just conduct a business transaction.latifbp said:Shows how ridiculously petty Christians are these days -

Is this fake Christian victimization really necessary?roake said:There is a difference between not discriminating and being forced to abandon ones personal beliefs. This latest movement is yet another and an endless series of attempts to marginalize or suppress Christianity.
For example, take a random mom and pop Christian bakery with a gay couple as customers. Most would not have problems selling items to the couple, but when it comes to endorsing or celebrating that gay union (bake a cake by that bakery, with those names on the cake, in the bakers box), then they have the right to draw a line, if not an obligation. Within their religion and most closely-held beliefs, to make that cake is wrong, and places their own souls at jeopardy for not doing what they believe to be right.
Sure, there are tons of other bakeries, but none cares. They want to force the Christians to do something that is against their beliefs.
I'd like to see this tried in muslim communities. When good ol' Butch and Billybob go to there to order a "wedding" cake and stir up some kind of controversy, it ends up with a couple beheadings.
It's very easy to judge people. We always want justice for others but mercy for ourselves. Why do you think that difference exists?

First look: Apple offers premium power at budget pricing with new iPhone SE
Speculation... I'm sure Apple is making the decision to keep 16GB based on actual numbers, not emotionssaarek said:sog35 said:Apple's sells TENS of MILLIONS of 16GB phones a year.
Its time for you to get out of your own 'world' and realize other people are perfectly fine with 16 GB.Most people buy the 16gb because it's the cheapest and they don't know any better.Unless you use very few apps and rarely take photos it is not enough.I accept that some people are able to get away with just 16gb.However most phone manufactures, especially the flagship devices moved away from 16gb a long time ago.16gb back in 2010 made sense, it does not make sense now, especially when you plan to keep the device for 3 or more years.
