Wedding cakes aren't generic, they really have to be painstakingly designed

2018-07-02 00:04:19 UTC  

It's takes between 3 to 6 hours

2018-07-02 00:04:28 UTC  

By generic I mean subscribing to the standard designs

2018-07-02 00:04:57 UTC  

Most wedding cakes are not indicative of the genders of the couple save for the topper.

2018-07-02 00:05:33 UTC  

Yeah, but it goes against his religion to make cakes for weddings he disagrees with, so that's a problem too

2018-07-02 00:06:00 UTC  

You know what would have been better? If they just went to a different fucking Baker

2018-07-02 00:06:56 UTC  

I agree

2018-07-02 00:07:11 UTC  

Instead it looks like they wanted to have it out

2018-07-02 00:08:17 UTC  

@Deleted User I'm trying to find a way for the gay couple and the Baker to leave happy. "I don't want to do a gay wedding cake, but I will do a generic wedding cake and you do with it what you will" and then they say "no thanks"

2018-07-02 00:08:42 UTC  

anyone wanna debate about gaddafi?

2018-07-02 00:08:50 UTC  

They never got that far though, so we're purely in a hypothetical scenario.

2018-07-02 00:08:59 UTC  

But that's the thing, he doesn't want to accomodate the wedding because it goes against his religion @kilo (twitter-imkilo)

2018-07-02 00:09:06 UTC  

In any manner

2018-07-02 00:09:10 UTC  

It still would've been up to the gay couple to not file a civil rights greivance

2018-07-02 00:09:56 UTC  

@Deleted User I understand, but allowing a business to discriminate on their religion and next a business will refuse to serve black people

2018-07-02 00:10:09 UTC  

And I think a large number of gay couples would've just gone on with their lives and found another shop.

2018-07-02 00:10:19 UTC  

I'm sure that's thing already

2018-07-02 00:10:57 UTC  

A business that refuses to serve black people is actively cutting off business, it may try to do it, but it won't last.

2018-07-02 00:11:32 UTC  

If one business refuses to serve black people, they lose revenue. And, more people refuse to come because the owners are racist. Free market will ensure that the place goes bankrupt

2018-07-02 00:11:53 UTC  

It's the beauty of capitalism

2018-07-02 00:11:58 UTC  

Before the Jim Crow laws, businesses were not interested in discrimination based on race because it harmed their profits.

2018-07-02 00:12:41 UTC  

^^yeep!

2018-07-02 00:14:19 UTC  

Sowell's most recent book talks about it at length.

2018-07-02 00:15:17 UTC  

@Deleted User @Rils have neither of you heard of the restaurant that refused to serve black people in 1964, and the supreme court ruled using the "commerce clause" that the federal government had the authority to compel a business to not discriminate because it would affect interstate travel?

2018-07-02 00:15:48 UTC  

Could you be more specific?

2018-07-02 00:16:05 UTC  

I gotta look that up. Maybe it was due to it's location

2018-07-02 00:16:16 UTC  

1964 would've been at the tail end of Jim Crow

2018-07-02 00:17:30 UTC  

As a sidebar, I disagree with that assessment, racial discrimination has nothing to do with interstate commerce and shouldn't be under the purview of the commerce clause.

2018-07-02 00:18:41 UTC  

@Deleted User @Rils wait. Seriously you've never heard of this? Am I that old?

2018-07-02 00:19:00 UTC  

I'm indian, sorry

2018-07-02 00:19:02 UTC  

I haven't heard about this vague event.

2018-07-02 00:19:03 UTC  

I'm 38

2018-07-02 00:19:10 UTC  

I'm 17....

2018-07-02 00:19:40 UTC  

Katzenbach v. McClung?

2018-07-02 00:20:39 UTC  

The restaurant acted specifically to push back against government overreach.

2018-07-02 00:21:41 UTC  

That one, also Heart of Atlanta Hotel vs United States

2018-07-02 00:21:42 UTC  

let it be know the first real debate was actually this server and its new authoritarian ruleset 😛

2018-07-02 00:21:50 UTC  

I kid btw

2018-07-02 00:23:09 UTC  

The commerce clause was intended to keep the Federal government from becoming involved in local commerce, but the courts have stretched it so far that almost everything is interstate commerce and so the Federal government has authority.

2018-07-02 00:23:17 UTC  

Okay, so quick back story from an "old man" about why you no longer see "whites only" signs in the United states , as soon as I get done playing with my dog that seems to be wanting my attention

2018-07-02 00:23:26 UTC  

well the internet kinda made everything interstate commerce
