Arizona is quickly becoming the new state of hate. They don't like gay people, or immigrants. They keep passing laws they know are discriminatory and unconstitutional and yet don't seem to care.

Pretty sure they have a "stand your ground" law on the books too. So they can legally shoot any gay immigrants who threaten their sense of decency and morality.

Arizona must have some secret wager with Florida, who can be the most ignorant state in the country.

Your move, Florida.

Pretty sure they have a "stand your ground" law on the books too. So they can legally shoot any gay immigrants who threaten their sense of decency and morality.

Maybe they can combine this with Stand Your Ground. = Stand your Holy Ground law.

Man feels his faith is "threatened" - "All their hand holding was coming off as a real threat to my all knowing, all powerful, all loving god, so I shot them. "

Judge & Jury - "Praise Jesus! ...you may go free."

that's going to be a problem for Michael Sam if he gets drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.

that was the 1st thing I thought about

How long before the homophobic business owners abuse this law.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

How long until they abuse the law? The law IS abuse in the first place. Any use of the law is abuse to common sense. The only way to fight this insane cancer that is "faith" is to introduce laws that allow business owners to refuse to serve men without beards, women on their periods, anyone who has eaten ham sandwiches etc. The same exact principle should apply, cite the Bible to refuse their service.

Seriously, won't that get the attention of the religious nutjobs? They will be put in their place once they realize their nutjob religion is based off of hatred, abuse, violence, and discrimination of every kind.

Give it time....

Nah...our Tea Party government is getting turfed out in November.

But it already has passed Babs, we need to accept that Arizona is ******ed and homophobic. Doesn't mean business owners will want to use this to justify their hatred.

 

[bullets]

It's a shame they got away. That just sucks .

 

[Lily Adler]

I was going to be humorous about this, but yeah totally would love to catch those bastards.

 

[chamber-music]

I can just picture two gay guys or gals holding hands going to buy coffee and some *****e worker saying he ain't serving them.

Seems like state backed discrimination.

 

[Teelie]

No "seems like" to it. It is legalized discrimination.

The ever-looming specter of death is bad enough—but imagine Facebook not being able to monetize your data after you've kicked the bucket? That's a real tragedy—so now, Facebook is going to make sure the things you've accidentally exposed to the internet will remain that way, forever.


If someone dies, their family can set that person's profile to a "memorial" mode, which ostensibly allows it to remain a place of tribute and remembrance. Only your friends could look at you after you were dead. This is sort of eerie on its own, maybe, but if it helps people cope with someone's death, then super.
Before today, strangers couldn't look at photos and whatnot of dead people in memorial mode, because, WHY?, and THAT'S VERY, VERY CREEPY. But now Facebook is changing the rules, and what you post today can still be data-mined in eternity:

Up to now, when a person's account was memorialized, we restricted its visibility to friends-only. This meant that people could no longer see the account or any of its content unless they were Facebook friends with the person who passed away. Starting today, we will maintain the visibility of a person's content as-is. This will allow people to see memorialized profiles in a manner consistent with the deceased person's expectations of privacy. We are respecting the choices a person made in life while giving their extended community of family and friends ongoing visibility to the same content they could always see.
​

What it sounds like: Let's respect the wishes of the dead.
What it actually is: Let's take advantage of the fact that our privacy settings are still hugely inconsistent and confusing. No one can whine about that when they're dead!
So if you're planning on getting hit by a drunk driver or something tomorrow, make sure you meticulously go through the last decade or so of Facebook photos, posts, statuses, notes, albums, and any other interaction you've had on the site. You don't want that keg stand profile picture to be the only proof you existed, right?
And Facebook, we know you want your paws on all of our stuff, our very essence. You're not going to change. That's the price we pay for using Facebook. But don't pretend you're doing it because you care about our souls.

I'm absolutely cool with this, I'd like for my great great great grandkids to be able to look at my profile and see what I was all about

A cleaning woman at a Spanish gallery accidentally threw away thousands of dollars of art by New York modernist Paul Branca when she mistook his crumpled newspaper, cardboard, and cookie installation scattered across the floor for garden-variety trash.
The pieces, estimated to be worth around $15,000, were apparently intended to make viewers think of the environment.
"We are obviously very sorry for what happened," city marketing commissioner Antonio Maria Vasile said.
The gallery says they do not blame the cleaning woman, who "did not realise she had thrown away two works and their value."
According to the BBC, this is not the first time modern art has been mistaken for trash and tossed — a museum guard mistakenly tidied up Tracy Emin's trash-filled "My Bed" exhibit in 1999; a 2001 Damien Hirst installation of beer bottles, coffee cups and cigarettes was mistakenly trashed; and, a Tate Britain employee accidentally threw away a bag of paper and cardboard by German artist Gustav Metzger in 2004.

Well if it looks like trash... can you blame a common working person?

 

[KevanG]

We should link the hype to FB too. Let everyone we know see what pedantic crap we argue about forever.

 

[KevanG]

They should label this stuff if it's just to be left lying around.

 

[Breogan]

"Works made out of newspaper and cardboard, and cookie pieces scattered across the floor ....were thrown out."

Really cardboard, newspaper and scattered cookie crumbs. She also pushed out the homeless man peeing in the corner, was he part of the exhibit?

Could be the real crime was calling this "works".

She did her job, a true artist

 

[Charlie Boy]

Modern art eludes me. I remember going to the MOMA in SF a few years back, one exhibit was a letter written in hair... Another, one that I'm not entirely sure was an art piece (but I'm also not sure it wasn't) was a room full of high powered fans. If it was art, it was timely art cause it was hot as **** up in that museum.

 

[Drizzle]

What kind of insane person would put a price tag of $15,000 on ****ing garbage?

 

[Quasimod0]

Sounds like it deserved to be thrown away.

 

[Warhammer]

Eh, I'm not all about that. Just be tasteful and delete it. If you know somebody has died, what kind of rationale is "F*** that. We're not going to delete his/her page"?

 

[bullets]

I've seen people on Facebook wishing my deceased cousin happy birthday today. I understand the sentiment and sadly I've had several people die within the last couple years. It just seems weird to me because it might be intrusion on a dead person's wishes.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Well you can always leave your login and password in your will and tell your family to delete it.

 

[bullets]

There was recently a viral video floating around fb that was a father begging to see his sons private fb page. I wonder if this ties into that.

 

[Heretic]

I am perfectly fine with the idea that a person can run their business the way they see fit. I'm fine with ice cream parlors not hiring fat people...Im fine with Curve For Women not allowing men to join etc. No one has the right to force someone to hire them, sell them stuff etc. If you want to run an openly anti-gay business...go for it...that should be your right...and the community can decide whether you are successful or become bankrupt and lose everything you own due to your bigotry.
