I'm not against freedom of speech. Leaving a bad yelp review in protest of a business, because of something they did or said is hardly a big deal. It's protesting online without physically being there. How is giving your views on a topic with words on a review site being intolerant? Refusing to cater a wedding, simply because the participants are gay is being intolerant. Not giving your opinion of that view.

If you don't wanna be at a gay wedding because you don't believe in it, who cares? You aren't stopping the actual wedding from happening. If this were considered being intolerant, it is the lowest possible form on the scale. It doesn't even register.
Owners: We wouldn't cater our pizza at a gay wedding (a totally BS scenario to begin with)
Intolerant people: Oh really? Now we're going to make your life a living hell. They're throwing gays off buildings in Syria, burning them in Somalia but we're going to make you wish took a dick up your own ass compared to all the trouble we're going to cause you now.
What about this can you possibly support?
In syria they throw you off buildings for being gay. In Somalia they imprison you for life I believe. In the Sopranos they stuck a pool cue up Vito's ass before killing him.....That is what intolerance is.
Not wanting to serve pizza at a gay wedding (btw a totally implausible scenario) not really moving the needle.

You think it's clear sailing for Cruz IF he gets the R nomination.@)Of course, not REALLY, because if you REALLY believed that, a 4 year to one year ban would be an easy bet to take. IF you had any guts, which you don't.
You are being deliberately dense. I keep telling you why I think Cruz will have a lot of trouble winning the nomination, and you're wondering why I won't bet on him right this second to win the presidency? We'll talk if he wins the nomination. How's that?
And you ignored my question (because you pulled an accusation out of your wrinkled old ass). Show me where I said Memories closed down because of Yelp reviews.
They did a little more than post a few bad yelp reviews. I mean if they kept the store open there is a good chance they were going to continually be bullied and ridiculed.
If you want people to see the world the same way as you, you can't beat it into them as maliciously as possible. Granted it is a loud minority but a lot of what is said on the internet, on their facebook page, etc is just mean and a poor reflection on those people. They're acting like jackasses.
I didn't say YOU said they closed because of that. Why did they close, in one day, after some bad reviews on Yelp. How was their business "ruined" after one day of bad reviews on Yelp.
I'm giving you 4-1 odds now. The Odds won't be so generous WHEN@)
Ted wins the R Nomination. Show some guts and balls for ONCE in your life and take the bet Now.I watched the shop owner's interview on Hannity. Admittedly not a terribly bright guy, although he seemed like a nice and genuine person. He made another comment that stood out to me which I hadn't seen anywhere else.
Their phone was ringing off the hook from morning until night, and one of the reasons he closed the shop was he "couldn't tell if all the orders he was receiving were legitimate." In other words, that leads me to believe that a bunch of shithead activists thought it'd be a lot of fun to call them up and place fake orders so the store would waste resources (time, money, ingredients, etc)...all in an effort to drain their assets. But that's just "speaking out" against the shop and "letting the market decide"...right?
If they decide to re-open, here's some free advice: payment needs to be made upfront, or no sale. If someone comes in the shop to order, they pay up front anyway. If they call in, no cash deliveries for a while until the dust settles. Credit card orders only over the phone. You're welcome.

Bullied and ridiculed? By bad yelp reviews?? And comments on their facebook page?? And Twitter??? That's freedom of speech, on the internet. As long as it doesn't get to the threat stage. And when it did, those people are being punished/pursued.
Do you read the shit and lies people say on the Internet about Politicians they don't like? That's the internet.
Moron.
They're not discriminating based on Religion, Race, Gender, etc., they're discriminating based on the requested product/service.
The Guesser Logic 101:
The Guesser: Mister Photographer, I'd like you to video my naked orgy I'm having next Friday.
Photographer: Sorry, can't really I'm comfortable with that type of photography. Maybe try ABC Studios down the street?
The Guesser: HATER! DISCRIMINATION! INTOLERANT BIBLE THUMPER! WAIT TILL I SUE! WAIT TILL I CALL CNN! YOU'RE VIOLATING MY RIGHTS!
Photographer: Uhhh, okay.
face)(*^%
It isn't even possible because nobody is getting pizza at a wedding. It is the type of shit people care about just to create division. This small town pizza place just getting all the scorn about something that has no impact on the world whatsoever.
You honestly think the response these people got is a good reflection of gay rights movement and its supporters? You really think if backlash like this becomes the norm that it is a positive trend in society?
$$$$$$$$$. The Mini Jackpot. Bull O for the Lifetime of Leisure.
Any take Out Place I've ever ordered from calls me back to verify the reality of the order immediately. They all have caller ID, and won't take a call from a blocked number without having the block removed. So the Religious bigot closed his shop because some idiots were pranking his number??? What a crock.

Yeah, 4-1 is an awesome deal!

I can get 50-1 on Cruz right now. You want to do 50 of your months versus one of mine? If you do, we can discuss some specific terms so you won't run off to the Rubber Room and start bullshit political posts like your gay PA lover did for a year.
I think the reaction of suckers giving Millions to people who advocate bigotry based on Religion is a very sad trend for society. The people who agree with their views, or disagree with their views over the internet with just their words, no big deal at all, UNLESS it goes to the physical threat stage. I'd take a few bad yelp reviews and prank phone calls to get a quick 2 Million or more from suckers.
