Well that's a very ignorant take.

The first wrong is the liberal agenda in the classroom, at the national level. The second wrong is injecting religion into the public system.

Stupid. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Weird, I was thinking the same thing.

LOL, why do I bother. I literally quoted your replies.

Gotchya. If he does win, it probably would be in his best interest to take the route that you suggested on the consignment route.

I believe you asked that of Tim, not MDC, right?

Would that fly in court? She did admit already in public that was the reason for going to his bakery and placing the order. I guess she could say "Well, I was only kidding when I said that", but I'd think that would tarnish her credibility. Not in Colorado, but it could as it moved up the ladder in appeals.

You said the swastika "would violate community standards for decency". If it's a private party, there's no violation of community standards for decency... if such a thing even exists. The only people there would be people who share similar interests. I don't disagree with your opinion, I just don't think that customers should have a right to undermine someone else's rights by force (i.e., take them to court). Again, religion is a protected right, politics is not. Hence, the scenarios doesn't jive.

I watch YouTube. I watch people's channels that I find entertaining. Some are people building houses (construction so to speak), building cabins in the middle of nowhere, cooking, baking, model railroads, baseball videos, things like that. If at any point, someone chooses to make politics or social constructs a part of their show, I stop watching.

Sure, but that analogy doesn't fly because religious beliefs are protected under the constitution and while political views are not. Hence, why I focused on the aspect of privacy. The two only jive in the sense that they're private events and not public.

The cake is for a private event... not public. If a person wants a swastika on a sign for a private event, then there are no violations to community standards or hate speech.

The baker is injecting his religious beliefs, which is constitutionally protected, not his political beliefs which are NOT constitutionally protected. I haven't followed your back and forth that much in the thread, so maybe I'm missing something. If so, my bad.

Could he argue that, being targeted by the plaintiff, she was responding to his beliefs and not actually asking for a generic routine innocuous task.

You certainly wouldn't. LOL You know what's funny? Biden 40 years ago would've supported Donald Trump today. Biden 40 years ago, opposed illegal immigration (like Trump today) Biden 40 years ago, was racist (which liberals claim Donald Trump is today) Biden 40 years ago, opposed abortion (like Trump today) In 1988, Donald Trump told Oprah (a hard core lefty... as was/is her crowd), what he'd do if he were President. Back then, she supported his views and her crowd cheered along. Guess what, Trump did exactly those things when he got into office. What changed? Noticed, back in 1988 he was a standard Democrat with those views... today, with the SAME EXACT views, he's considered "alt-right". This is undeniable proof that not only has the right moved LEFT, that the left is completely far left.

That's the right play.

When we know more about Irving, that's when I'd be more worried... or less, about White. I'd actually expect similar numbers from Mayfield. I believe the team will be about what they were last year, just the record won't be as good... I'm thinking 6 to 8 wins, where last year I had them 7 to 9. Forced to put a number on it, I'd say 7. Reason being, I because I think they'll be losing a little more often, I think they throw a little bit more. His efficiency may be worse than last year, but I'd still expect about 4k and 28 because the volume will still be there, if not higher. It's why I think White should still be ok if he's still getting the touches. He may lose a carry or two for say 4 ypc, but gain a reception. The net is already a plus, before we even put a yardage total on it. I'd put Mayfield down as mid-range QB2. I'd expect him to put up totals, similar to Tua. I'd say somewhere between 16 and 20.

So the complaint is that the intent of the colors of the frosting are irrelevant and that the baker should be forced to bake the cake for the customer or be found guilty of discrimination?

I think the baker should counter sue for discrimination. He's being targeted for his religious beliefs.

I don't have a problem with the executive order. To me, this is probably the easiest and best way to deal with this group of people. That said, the order doesn't sway me in either direction. If it never came into existence, I wouldn't have cared either.

Don't let volume fool you on Mayfield. Yes, his yards and TD's were both in the top 10... for fantasy purposes, that's fine. As for the rest though, the vast majority of other metrics like comp% (19th), ypa (18th), QBR (19th), etc, he was in the bottom half of the league. He did that with 2 excellent WR's, a great pass catching RB, AND a top 10 pass blocking offensive line, I believe PFF had them 7th (someone else had them 9th or 10th, can't remember who though). Note, even with a top 10 pass blocking OLine, he still was sacked the 6th most in NFL... meaning, he's the bigger problem on the sack front, than his line is. Going further... Passing success rate: 20th Net yards per pass attempt: 18th On Target pass percentage: 20th But, as I said regarding @GobbleDog's assertions on White, white White isn't a great running, he certainly isn't the problem. If you think that the Bucs adequately addressed their run blocking issues (I showed him they were 31st in 2022 and 32nd in 2023 in run block win rate [which he's apparently ignoring... and that's fine]... and heard on the Fantasy sport channel (SiriusXM), that in each of the last 2 seasons, White was 26th or worse in yards gained before contract), and you think Mayfield is an adequate passer, then you should believe that White should be a legit RB1 this year. I'm not sure they did address all their needs and I'm not sold on Mayfield being an adequate QB. As of right now, I believe White will get similar touches to last year, so my suggestion is to rank him based on last year's performance and possible upgrades or downgrades of his supporting case. Also take note that last year they had one of the 7 easiest schedules and this year they're in the top 8.

Not sure yet. Not enough information on him as of right now.

To answer your question... yes, their OLine was crappy the last 2 years. In 2022, they ranked 31st in Run Blocking Win Rate, and 32nd last year. Chase Edmonds - 4.5 ypc (career pre-2023). Last year in Tampa, 3.6. You do realize that those numbers aren't really all that much higher than last year, right? Also, I said that's if you think the OL is better and that Mayfield doesn't stink.

Anyone who has lived in this country since 1776 with Democrat elected officials as their representative, has been victims of a long train of abuses.
