It's pretty disgusting.

I couldn't bring myself to read the whole thing. Is he arguing from religious reasons? Or just wankerish ones?

Or just wankerish ones?

These. Also, I suspect he has a really hard time getting laid on account of being an utter douchenozzle.

IIRC, the argument for the case did exactly revolve around how "public" the pavilion was. It was certainly not consecrated, at least.

Yeah, this is the best summary of the decision I've been able to find: [link]

The pavilion has enjoyed a special real property tax exemption provided by the state for properties open to the public as places of public accommodation. The association had certified that when the pavilion was not being used for its own religiously-based programs, it would be open to the public on "an equal basis," which explains the practice of not inquiring into the religious nature of wedding ceremonies held there. It is well established that religious ownership of a place of public accommodation does not exempt the place from the anti-discrimination law.

The "wife not wanting to have sex is the same as the husband not wanting to go to work" argument is making my head spin.

I just can't even... a wife not wanting to do housework or go to her own *!&*$* job is equivelent, oh except for the pay wrt to housework.

What to do if you live in a 3×3x3m apartment.

organiCube

Getting all the facilities on a groundfloor of 9sqm, functional elements have to be compact and compressed. Through compression things get folded. These foldings are a functional alement as well and the Cube provides a high standard of accommodation for one or two people, defining main facilities: living/sleeping/working and a separate bathroom. At one place a line shapes for example the wardrobe and a few steps further it flows into a completely different living setup. All featured curves have their distinctive function and purpose. Through this moving and fluid interior the cube should bring harmony to residents in a sensual way.

eta: It sorta looks like what Aliens would do for an apartment if they had an Apple aesthetic.

ION entirely, Holy fracking YUM. Wantwantwantwantwant.

there is no decoration or various textures - ahhhhhhh.

Okay, I just talked to an awesome roofer in trying to get a second quote on my chimney. He gave me the lowdown on what needed to be done, told me it shouldn't really be done until the summer, and encouraged me to work with the company that put on my roof, so it wouldn't monkey with my warranty. He was great!

You Are Dumb on the end of its fifth year:

If I were Babylon 5, for example, I'd be shutting down the site tomorrow, leaving you all with the vague impression that 2008's columns were a lot shittier than you expected, and why did I spend the first three months of the year complaining about willows?

If I were Star Trek: The Next Generation, you'd be annoyed with me for making fun of fantasy scenarios of stupidity more and more often, but you'd still be glad I wasn't writing the clumsy, beardless columns of that first year.

If I were Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, I'd have run out of decent ideas over a year ago, but you'd all still keep reading because of my unique dialogue quirks. Actually, that's starting to hit a bit too close to home, so let's move on.

The "wife not wanting to have sex is the same as the husband not wanting to go to work" argument is making my head spin.

Nah, it's exactly the same.

If you consider the wife to be someone for whom sex is a JOB and for which she gets PAID.

Oh, wait. I'm thinking of a WHORE. Or that assclown wanker columnist is.

Ok, 2009 just rickrolled me. Et tu, 2009?

After the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade rickrolled the entire country, I think rickrolling is officially over. 2009 must not have gotten the memo.

Did you read today's xkcd, billytea?

"This is how *I* roll."

‘Phantom of the Opera’ sequel "Love Never Dies" due in 2009:

The follow-up to “Phantom,” which debuted in 1986 with Michael Crawford in the lead role, will take place a decade after the original, with the story set on Brooklyn’s Coney Island.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
