She said: Irony


And here's the rest:

Me: You say Irony. I say Photoshop.

Manuel: Either way, respect the 1st amendment!

Mollie: Don't get me started Manny!!

Manuel: I don't mind starting you at all. This nation is founded on religious freedom and freedom of speech. If you think marriage should be between a man and a woman, you should be free to say that and not have your business suffer from local authorities, a la Nazi gau leiders. Look it up! You should be ashamed of yourself if you are truly if favor of freedom of speech. If you are not in favor of freedom of speech, and freedom to practice your religion, un-friend me now!

Me: Freedom of speech goes both ways. Just as they are free to espouse their bigoted garbage, others are free to call them on it and decide where and how to spend their money.

Me (again): Oh, and by the way, the freedom to practice ones religion ends where it starts to affect my life. Your religion (not necessarily 'yours') should not impact my government and the rights guaranteed me by the same Constitution.

Updated thread:

Manuel: You are a sick person.

Me: So...you insist on absolute freedom of speech, but when I practice mine I'm a 'sick' person. Or is that just because my opinions do not agree with yours?

5. Similar situation

My response to something similar...

That's the great thing about America, you are entitled to believe whatever you want, say what you want, do what you want; but my hard earned money doesn't have to go to support it if I don't like it.

7. Imagine the discussion had the photographer been standing outside of a strip club or porn shop.

Look! Proof of God's Blessing!!! LOL

8. Forgive me if you misspelled it, but...

nazi gau leiders should be Gauleiter. I only mention because so many right-wingers reference Nazi lingo when describing liberals, and they end up showing just how little they actually understand it.

9. It was actually a direct copy...

That was how "Manny" spelled it.

10. Their "religion" is a fast food chicken joint?

What am I missing?
