        Some tunes just don't sound right without the pipes. "Amazing Grace" is one of them.

          Ya either LOVE bagpipes or ya hate 'em. Ever been to an Irish Police event?

          (But, truth be known, our family is Scot, and there was a Scottish bagpipe player at my Dad's 80th birthday - he was dressed to the nines and played extremely well!!!!)


          (the squeelin and howlin was connected to the drinkin - THAT can quite an earful)

            Most of the time they sound like a couple of cats trapped in a sack being beaten with a rubber hose (or at least what I imagine they would sound like), but when done right...

              Which is exactly why ya either love em or hate em.

                  How about being forced to make wedding cakes, flower arrangements, for gay weddings? To cater the weddings? Then having to close down your business because of death threats? Being told by the whole world that you are a bigot for believing the bible?

                    While you know I defend that bakers right not to be treated that way, over my history I have seen and in some cases experienced the sort of attacks and persecution gay people must endure, and honestly, there is no comparison here. Part of why the baker and the florist have had to endure what they have endured is because when a group of people is treated as badly as the gay community is treated, there will in fact be a subgroup out for revenge. You cant treat people like gay people are treated in general without generating a lot of hatred and fear.

                    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                      I saw this guy interviewed this weekend - I'm not convinced this isn't just a publicity stunt to make a point.

                        They get a free pass to victimise others because they get to play the victim card?

                        Do people who have been victimised by them also get a free pass to victimise them because they too get to play the victim card? Or is that privilege restricted?

                        The outcome has been demonstrated often enough in history - there comes a time of back-lash.

                          Exactly. Utilizing that sort of logic means that it is now okay to victimize the original victims again because they are now the ones doing the victimizing. It is a never-ending vicious cycle.

                            FWIU this is definitely a tongue firmly planted in cheek satirical stunt. I mean they proclaim things like their straight pride blue and pink flag "has represented our community for over 0.4 years." Even the Washington Post gets the joke saying that the primary goal of the Straight Pride parade is to "poke fun at the ‘identity politics’ of the political left."

                              Good, cause that's how I took it. I didn't catch the "0.4 years" thing.... I just saw the smirk on the guy's face when whoever (I believe it was Tucker Carlson) was interviewing him.

                                Jim, when God had gays executed in the Old Testament, was that just or unjust?
                                Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
