Why can't they just go to another JotP? Why MUST this guy cave in? Joker Send a noteboard - 22/10/2009 11:26:32 PM
I don't agree with what this guy says or does, but I don't understand why someone like a JotP has to tow the line. Let him have his biases. He's free to do so in America, is he not?

This reminds me of a disturbing news story I heard a few years ago where an advocate of gay marriage said that any priest/pastor/whatever who refuses to marry gay couples should lose the right to marry anyone at all. Why is it that you're only allowed to have a point of view if it conforms to society's norms? Disagree with him all you want, but respect and defend to the death his right to have his opinion.

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 03:44:53 AM 762 Views
What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 340 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 316 Views
Yeah. They don't have to crap in the yard. He says they can use his bathroom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 03:47:24 PM 164 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 141 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 172 Views
I can't imagine why anyone would want to crap in this guy's lawn... it's a puzzler. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 08:57:06 PM 176 Views
WTF? what is wrong with people?! this makes me wanna pull my hair out! its 2009!!!! Aisha - 16/10/2009 04:19:49 AM 392 Views
How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less Tashmere - 16/10/2009 05:19:49 AM 330 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 308 Views
aren't Cajuns a mix of multiple races (whites and indians mostly)?? Cajuns ARE Loiusiana *NM* imlad - 16/10/2009 05:05:18 PM 120 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 277 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 107 Views
thats what i thought *NM* imlad - 19/10/2009 07:24:05 PM 110 Views
You're confusing Cajuns with Creoles. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:28:35 AM 268 Views

Tru' dat. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:51:10 PM 131 Views
Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 275 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 121 Views
Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem! Cannoli - 16/10/2009 11:37:34 AM 510 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 328 Views
Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 03:34:22 PM 300 Views
In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule. Legolas - 16/10/2009 03:39:52 PM 290 Views
Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM* Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:55:32 PM 162 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 275 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 118 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 290 Views
the government should just get their fingers out of the marriage business imlad - 16/10/2009 05:14:02 PM 305 Views

Uh, no dude. rebelaessedai - 26/10/2009 03:33:33 AM 367 Views

seems like a very liberal stance to me random thoughts - 27/10/2009 04:55:14 PM 235 Views
A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM 293 Views
Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means... Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:37:11 PM 360 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 106 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 112 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 454 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 406 Views
Yeah, that's a good analogy beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 03:55:23 PM 263 Views
Dear Lord, you really are one of the most special people I've ever known. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 09:40:16 PM 308 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 281 Views
Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:25:20 PM 287 Views
one of the hottest women i ever saw in playboy imlad - 19/10/2009 07:45:17 PM 277 Views
