Interestingly enough, back in 1928 the Republican Presidental campaign of Herbert Hoover promised "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage".
What makes it interesting is back then, chicken was 3 - 5 times the price of beef. It was a luxury food as production wasn't industrialized and unless you lived on a farm, you didn't eat it. Even on the farm you only at chicken when the hens were no longer fit for laying or annually when you let a batch hatch to replenish your hens and culled those that were roosters.
A PowerPoint shown to a freshman biology class featured a cartoon depicting dueling castles, one labeled “Creation (Christ)” and the other labeled “Evolution (Satan).” Balloons attached to the evolution castle were labeled euthanasia, homosexuality, pornography, divorce, racism and abortion...... The PowerPoint, which has more than 50 slides largely consisting of material about evolution, was downloaded from SharePoint, an APS file-sharing database for teachers. It was uploaded by Mary E. King, a project manager at APS who has also uploaded more than 2,000 other documents. Phone calls and emails to King have not been returned. Tommy Molden, science coordinator for APS, also did not respond to requests for comment.
Students were offended by the cartoon:
“[I] have gay parents, and [the cartoon] said that evolution caused homosexuality and it implied that to be negative, so I was pretty offended by it,” [freshman Seraphina Cooley] said.
Cooley said that another student emailed the administration complaining about the PowerPoint.
Freshman Griffin Ricker, who is also in Jones’ class, said [Biology class teacher Anquinette Jones] got angry with the class when she found out students had notified the administration.
“She had a 10-minute rant,” Ricker said. “She yelled and said, ‘This is on the APS website, and it was certified.’”
In case of slashdotting, the student reporting is also posted on a local newspaper's blog (http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/get-schooled/2014/jul/03/evolution-vs-creationism-why-still-issue-grady-or-/).
Chic-Fil-A was donating money to organizations opposed to marriage equality
NEWSPEAK ALERT!
No, Dan Cathy donated money to organizations that worked against redefining marriage to fit a certain political agenda.

You and the parent both fail to realise that the laws trump your religions. If their is a conflict between the 2 the law always takes precedent. Claiming your invisible sky-daddy wants or doesn't want something is irrelevant.
You're just so full of wrong here.
First, you mean precedence, not precedent.
Second, the SCOTUS just saw it my way.
So, you can go suck a bag full of dicks.

how is the poster a moron?
I can't say for certain how he or she became a moron but the idiocy he or she is displaying is how I know that he or she is a moron.
Five years ago you would never think a corporation had a right to unlimited political spending in the name of the right of free speech of a corporation.
I argued that exact position before McCain-Feingold became law. If each of the people who own a corporation has the right to free speech, it's unthinkable that when they work together they somehow lose that right.
Last year you would not have thought Hobby Lobby could prevent it's employees from getting their Federally guaranteed earned health benefits in the name of a corporation's religious inclination.
1. No one is prevented from getting anything. Every Hobby Lobby employee who can get a doctor to prescribe birth control pills can still get them. Hobby Lobby just won't be forced to pay for it.
2. Yes, I not only thought but I hoped that would be the case when the issue was decided by the SCOTUS.
It really is just a few months at this rate before they vote.
Yeah, I see why you posted anonymously. If you had used your name, in a year, I would have waited to see you post and then replied to remind you what a fucking moron you are.
It's not going to happen. Ever.
What's to stop it?
The fact that to be able to have the right to vote, one must be a citizen and in order to be a citizen one must be a human being.

Pregnancy: it takes two to happen, but it's always the woman's fault.
And the resultant expense is always the man's responsibility.

Right, because running a corporation is a religious practice. Give us this day our daily board meeting.
Every part of your day can be a religious practice.
For some people, running their business in accordance with their faith is a part of their religious practices.

Superstition trumps health care for women.
Stop with the butthurt.
Pay for your own Plan B. This decision doesn't take that away.

Chick-fil-A were attacked because they were openly bigoted.
Were there any documented cases of Chic-Fil-A refusing to serve someone because they were gay? Refusing to hire someone because they were gay? Attacking someone because they were gay?
LK
No, you fucking moron.
Corporations are "persons" not "people" and moreover, only "Citizens" can vote. Corporations are not now, have never been and shall never be "citizens".

I wonder when the big man at 1600 Pennsylvania is going to fix this gender disparity?
Shut your oppressive mouth. Cock-man! Despoiler!
Everyone knows that it's only discrimination to treat people differently when women aren't happy with the disparity.
LK
put their religion before the constitution. Shocking.
I guess you missed that part about "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

+1 Fucking Right!
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
