CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
The gay Democrats need to find them a Muslim pizza shop
The funniest is when the unhinged far right spent two years accusing Democrats of running an international paedophile ring from the basement of a pizza shop which... wait for it...
Leftist if you can use your Google machine i want you to search up the lawsuits Gay Democrats have against Muslim bakers for not making a cake or a pizza for a Gay Marriage

Silence boy, or I shall rain down the might of a thousand Jihads on your cakes and pizzas.
The most effective way to find the answer to your question is to either phone around or call into such establishments and ask.
If one or more refuse to fulfil your order on religious, ethical or moral grounds then you could insist that the Equalities & Equal rights Commission prosecute the offending party/ies.
In a country based on "Freedom of Religion", ANYONE should bake a cake for ANYONE. White Supremacists, OR a yellow Chinaman, for instance, should have NO SAY in it. ;-)
WILL a ''Muslim baker make a cake for a Democrat Gay Wedding''.
The laws pertaining to this matter are unambiguous and should be followed.
Whether or whether not other categories of people such as white supremacists, Chinese traveling jugglers, left-wing loonies or Eskimos should have ''A SAY'' is immaterial.
And yet we have no legal obligation (thank goodness) to do so. I work at a Chick-Fil-A and we have refused to serve individuals based on their behavior in our restaurant or towards our employees. The company has the ultimate say in who they serve and who they don't for WHATEVER reason. however, they risk losing business if they don't serve people. So, it's a checks and balances thing.
You're taking away freedom when you insist that businesses serve everyone that comes in their doors. The government never had the right to insist that and never will.
That's exactly why I haven't eaten at Chic-Fil-A in ten years, nor will I. They have their rights, I have mine. They have their ideas of race and gender, and I have mine. I hope others think as I do, If they don't, they are a part of this country's problems. ;-(
Unfortunately, a lot of people think as you do and that number is growing. It will probably take a massive calamity for everyone to realize how far our nation had gone awry and change.
You say we have the right to our own opinions and then you say our opinions are the cause of our nations problems, hence, asking us to change our opinions. Be consistent.

American "opinions" are generally consistent with one another because you are all getting your information from the same places. Hence, they are not really "opinions" at all.
If a person is not intelligent enough to realise that their views are being purposefully shaped through the way media is presented and framed, then I generally do not bother with that person.
I don't believe that is correct. Americans tend to be VERY opinionated and the opinions can be VASTLY different. Yes, our opinions can be created and altered by the media, but, hopefully, we are wise enough to create opinions by reality and fact through our own research.

That's absolutely hilarious. The American political system offers Americans a choice between a centre right capitalist party and a far right capitalist party, and you think that system nurtures vastly different opinions? Give me a break. You're so naive it's almost cute. Americans are trained to think exactly the same way. You are trained to worship the military, worship God, worship guns and hate anything which is different than yourselves. At one stage, 60 percent of Americans thought Saddam Hussein was in Al Qaeda, so that just goes to prove my point that your "opinions" are fed to you through a straw.
I now see what you're saying. However, you are still incorrect. Do you know how many Americans (unfortunately) do not worship God? Do you know how many do not support gun ownership at all? From your spelling, I assume you are European of some variety. Maybe you should come over here and ask around a bit. Americans have very different ideas. I actually appreciate that you think we love military, God, and guns. I think we should. That is my belief. Unfortunate, your wrong in that so many others do not. We have a vast melting pot of cultures and that brings some awful stuff into America. Can we be influenced by media, absolutely. And, we should always be careful, as I said before, to base our opinions and ideas on research and facts. Thanks for the advice!
IN the UK and Ireland we have anti discrimination laws. So, for example, if a clearly gay man (flamboyant dress, typically camp, holding hands with another man) comes into a shop, and asks for a cake, the establishment has a legal obligation that means that it cannot refuse to sell it to him purely on the basis of his "gayness" (except where the request is to overtly inscribe this cake with a political message that the owner does not agree with) -- he must sell the customer a generic cake despite the fact the customer is gay.
However, if the customer becomes aggressive or abusive, the establishment has every right to refuse as he is behaving in an un-peaceful manner.
And the reason that this kind of law exists is to stop businesses from promoting bigotry or racism or segregation of any kind, whether it be "no blacks", "no Irish", or "no queers".
People rely on businesses to provide goods. If a supermarket chain suddenly said, "you know what, gays are vile, and we ain't serving them", it encourages others to take up the mantle, as well as relegating a portion of society to a place where they can't easily get access to goods and services. Thereby, making them second class citizens by ability to access vital products. Imagine if, in Texas, one of the most hardline right wing states, businesses simply said "no muslims". A lot of people in Texas would probably support that. And all of a sudden, you have an entire state that makes Muslims second class citizens. Or let's say it was rednecks, and large swathes of Massachussets suddenly said "we don't serve rednecks". Suddenly rednecks become second class citizens. And what does that kind of discrimination lead to if not hate, conflict and segregation?
Your concept of freedom lacks responsibility, I'm afraid.
But America is still a young country. It's a bit of a reckless kid that hasn't figured out why we have rules and regulations ... hopefully it will get there some day.
I know I'm probably one of very few at this point that thinks this, but, if we can stop LGBTQ in our community from growing by making it unappealing to be so, I'm all for it. That's only because I don't want them to grow. I think it's wrong and it should stop. I think we should treat them with decency, but I think we should have all right to decide whether or not to serve them. I don't think just because one person does it, everyone will just follow, especially not today. However, again, if that did happen, I wouldn't necessarily be against it. I'm not a hater, I don't hate the person, I hate the movement. I don't hate the human, I hate the sin. And, I do so because God first hated it and I hate what he hates.
