By the way, you have "Canada" listed as your location. Last I heard, marriage equality is the law for your country; why are you concerned about this country sinking down the toilet?

An attempt at a red herring? I'm shocked!
Where I'm from has nothing to do with the argument.

There will come a day when the silent majority wakes up and then you'll be on the short end of things. Give it enough time and a bit more liberal stupidity. It shouldn't take long.

Just what mind reading techniques do you use to know what other C-D posters do or don 't do?

Inquiring minds want to know...

We also want to know what levers you pull...

We're all puppets to the left. Perhaps she meant "marionette strings".

Actually Starbucks has added the word " bakery " to their title. Which reflects heated frozen snacks instead of thawed out dry and flat ones. This has nothing to do with the thread here, about like the last several posts have nothing to do with the subject.....

Harrier saw no point in mentioning every single mass shooting in U.S. history, which incidentally is not a new phenomenon.

There was a school shooting in the late 18th century shortly after the republic was formed.

Harrier also didn't mention the 1984 shooting up a McDonald in San Ysidro, CA, which may be a closer parallel to a potential Starbucks shooting.

What the heck does Rambo have to do with the discussion, and how could you possibly think that a person openly carrying a weapon could make an active shooter situation worse?

Did you ever ask her why she would trust a cop over a law abiding non-cop citizen who was armed?

Harrier is willing to bet that even if you did ask that queston, that she had no answer.

Like most liberals, she is conditioned to believe any story that big government sells them, and never to think critically.

Conservatives think critically - liberals don't.

You prefer to put yourself in greater danger of being murdered?

Oooo k....

Just like the gay bakery issue recently, the business should have the right to decline service if it feels so. Let the market decide.
