I am always a bit amazed at how for so many people their core beliefs are pretty much motivated by a bizarre combination of spite and misogyny.

Then I am amazed at myself for continuing to be amazed.

Was that directed at me?

Because I may or may not have been 100% serious in a couple of my most recent posts.

Not my business or concern if they have slaves working in the back or the owner eats babies for  breakfast.

I don't think I would want to fund slavery in my own backyard*. That's a bit distasteful.

*qualified as unfortunately I think we all likely sponsor some sort of slavery somewhere in the world.

Also FWIW I think Hobby Lobby does actually cover berf control pills and several other contraception methods in its employee health coverage.

Little aside here--who had heard of Hobby Lobby prior to this case?

I have.  We went there a couple years ago to buy Christmas decorations and then in 2011 to get my family tree thing framed.  Fuckers were terrible at everything.  Not sure why they are so big but maybe Crafts stores just suck in general.

The specifics in the case are hilariously narrow.  The decision though seems quite broad, hence why I was curious if it had any big long term impacts.

Yeah as a First Worlder I figure I am partially responsible for some atrocity someplace just by breathing oxygen.  Ah well what can you do?

I'm getting tired of reading liberal bullshit in this place.

Only read Hans' posts.

I find it odd that people find funding slavery distasteful but are fine with funding baby eating.

I would fund Tim being torn apart by wild dogs.

Lots of people hate babies.

Besides what has a baby done for me lately?

Kickstarter for that, perhaps?  :hmm:
