I find this to be a fantastically unconvincing argument. King Benjamin and Alma or whoever Mormons claim wrote the verses cited wouldn't be familiar with the names of various cities on the other side of the world. However, they would certainly know about Jerusalem - The home town of Lehi and Nephi which several BOM writers prattle on about. "And behold, he shall be born of Mary, a

I don't support anyones decision to discrimintae in this manner. Here in the state of Washington we have a florist who is being sued for refusing to provide flowers for the wedding of 2 homosexual males. I wonder if this religious lesbian as I think you put it would support the pantiffs in that case. IT's smart business to protect yourself from theft and fraud and there are numerous steps o

6 of us in my family. 5/6 are out. Oldest brother still in - kinda. He knows there is a lot of B.S. but somehow ignores it. Older sister - married out of the church, never went, now knows it's B.S. 2 older brothers - Never liked church, never went, both know it's B.S. Me - R/M served in Bishopric, EQ, etc. Resigned due to information found via the evil internet. Little sister - kn

Okay, so my wife disagrees with me. She says that the line where it says "if only you could see, bladah bladah I need your modesty" Is an attempt to place all the responsibility on the young women. If that was what was meant by that line, then I hate the video a lot. However, I still think it's just bad song writing and they simply replaced Desperately with Modesty.

Ya, as much as I object to the organization behind this stuff. Judging the video on its own merits I had a hard time finding anything objectionable except for the crap song and poor sound quality. Telling girls they don't have to show skin to get attention isn't all bad. I understand it's counter productive to demonize girls for wearing short skirts and cocktail dresses, but the video was m

That's a good question CA girl. Unfortunately I don't know anything about state law in AZ, I know in my home state of Washington refusing service to people based on their race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, and a few other things is explicitly illegal. I believe there are federal laws which are much the same though I don't know if they apply to services provided by vendors o

You know what pisses me off? Malls. I hate them soooo much. And yet, my wife is always dragging me to one. We need little spots throughout malls for guys who don't want to be there. Maybe a spot where you can sit and drink, watch a game, or look at pictures of scantily clad women. Thank you to PacSun for doing your part. On a serious note I don't think I'd ever wear something like t

Well I don't know about black and white, but it's painfully obvious that a group like the Mormons who have fought so hard for acceptance and fair treatment should be last in line to shit on other marginalized groups. The balls it takes to mistreat an entire segment of the population because they fail to meet your definition of traditional, or normal amazes me. It's my hope/wish/prayer/etc.

I think Jason raised a valid concern. If we are going to segregate bathroom and locker facilities based on biological differences, isn't there a risk of complicating things further by undermining the criteria used to decide who goes where?
