I watched up to 2:33 and realize the whole thing is staged. No way is a customer going to tell a waitress to leave her place of employment. Or..........if he does, he's as bad or worse than the waitress is pretending to be.

And MoveOn? I should never have clicked. I know better.

What does that fact that moveon.org linked this clip have to do with anything?

And of course it's staged. The clip is from the ABC show "What Would You Do"

I went into that one realizing that many of the people would be those who would support gayety and found that I was right. It was the Moveon part that told me to be ready for what I got to see.

Gayety? Hahaha, whatever that is. You didn't watch the clip, did you?

I think the big question is why a staged event for a television show meant to entertain people would shock anyone?

The point I would have is I would have no desire to watch a show like this to start with so I certainly have no reason to watch it now either.

If one has a point to make, find a legitimate news story.

This is the same situation that ABC News staged in another hometown restaurant that made news. The only difference was that it was about a white girl introducing her father to her black boyfriend and the patrons in the restaurant freak out at the sight of a interracial couple. I made a thread last Dec 12th on here called 'Father Of White Girl Rejects Black Boyfriend. What Would You Do?'

Watch the video for comparison.

In the science world do you understand the difference between an experiment and an observation? Do you understand the difference between the types of conclusions that can be made on each?
