Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My one big issue with the Salvation Army is the whole deal where they got special permission from the government to be able to discriminate in their hiring practices. But that's just me.

That whole thing confused me. Can't churches in general discriminate (religiously anyway) in hiring practices?

Mostly lurking...

I'm evil. I just looked at the dates that Wicked is in town. They're here on my mom's birthday. Last year we took mom to see Phantom. So, I think this year we should take her to see Wicked.

It's my evil little plan to get to see the show while it's here without actually having to pay for it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That doesn't sound evil to me -- it sounds brilliant.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The Salvation Army wanted to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, not religious belief.

Not on federally-funded projects. Or if they get federal funding at all. At least, that used to be the case.

Sure, but you couldn't be both homosexual (probably 'practicing homosexual') and Salvation Armyian.

Not saying its morally right, I just don't know why its legally unusual.

Of course, the feds will ONLY fund 'abstainance only' anti-AIDS programs overseas. t smacks head on walls

At least the original request involved the Salvation Army's right to ignore state anti-discrimination laws when using federal funds for "faith-based initiatives." So, use of federal money involved.

I'm back in my hobbit hole, and my mother and sister are 250 miles away.

Welcome back Ginger. I am glad you survived the family vacation.

{{{Betsy}}} Good luck dealing with the band situation.
