Having an opinion is enough to get you banned from University course at a Masters level, what is the world coming to. So much for that tuition time and effort. A Masters student who posted a Facebook comment earlier this year that was critical of gay marriage was purportedly expelled from a university course as a result — and has now lost a subsequent challenge to that decision. Felix Ngole, 38, was reportedly kicked out of the University of Sheffield two months after publishing a message on his personal page that was supportive of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis — the local government official who was briefly jailed after refusing to issue gay marriage licenses. Ngole, a married father of four, is a Christian who was studying in his second year of a Masters program in social work, Christian Today reported. He posted the comment, which purportedly quoted from Leviticus and was critical of homosexuality, on a Facebook thread that included arguments from both sides of the debate, but after a student complained, the school reportedly took action. The University of Sheffield’s Fitness to Practice Committee reportedly decided that his message was problematic and that he had ”transgressed boundaries which are not deemed appropriate for someone entering the Social Work profession,” so he was subsequently cut off from the class. Ngole then lost his appeal of that decision, which he challenged at the university level. “The way I was treated made me feel that their duty of care to me immediately ended from the day they received that complaint,” he told the Telegraph before the appeal. ”I am not against people who are in same-sex relationships, that is their choice, but I am a Christian and if asked for my views I should be free to express that.” Ngole, who is being represented by the U.K.’s Christian Legal Centre, maintained that he didn’t discriminate against or intimidate anyone. He continued, “I have worked with people in same-sex relationships in the past and there has been no issue whatsoever but the university said that if someone Googled me and found that (comment) they would not be confident to come to me for support.” Rather than give up his fight, Ngole plans to take legal action, as he said that the case “raises all sorts of legal questions” about whether Christians are allowed to hold “traditional biblical and moral beliefs and still enter mainstream professions such as social work, medicine, teaching and law in this country.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/11/university-reportedly-expels-student-from-social-work-course-over-gay-marriage-comment-but-hes-not-backing-down/#http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/christian-student-kicked-off-sheffield-university-course-for-anti-gay-facebook-post-a6902781.htmlhttp://www.christiantoday.com/article/christian.student.expelled.from.university.for.quoting.bible.on.homosexuality.loses.appeal/83584.htmRelated thread: Priest disciplined by prison authroties for having an anti-gay opinion. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1238794.0 |

Right so your telling me someone who went to visit prisoners in jail is getting in trouble for pissing off the SJW or something for reading the bible. Bunch of pricks there. (And it's not the prisoners) On a side-note http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/donald-trump-social-justice-warrior/We’re beginning a second transition of moral cultures. The first major transition happened in the 18th and 19th centuries when most Western societies moved away from cultures of honor (where people must earn honor and must therefore avenge insults on their own) to cultures of dignity in which people are assumed to have dignity and don’t need to earn it. They foreswear violence, turn to courts or administrative bodies to respond to major transgressions, and for minor transgressions they either ignore them or attempt to resolve them by social means. There’s no more dueling. Campbell and Manning describe how this culture of dignity is now giving way to a new culture of victimhood in which people are encouraged to respond to even the slightest unintentional offense, as in an honor culture. But they must not obtain redress on their own; they must appeal for help to powerful others or administrative bodies, to whom they must make the case that they have been victimized. It is the very presence of such administrative bodies, within a culture that is highly egalitarian and diverse (i.e., many college campuses / perhaps even prisons) that gives rise to intense efforts to identify oneself as a fragile and aggrieved victim. This is why we have seen the recent explosion of concerns about microaggressions, combined with demands for trigger warnings and safe spaces. |

Seven million people in central and eastern US are vulnerable to man-made earthquakes. This is according to the first ever map of damaging quakes for this year, released today by the US Geological Survey. The map shows how chance of damaging earthquakes hitting east of the Rockies has increased significantly, much of it a man-made byproduct of drilling for energy. These earthquakes were sometimes caused by fracking, in which large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into rock formations to free oil or gas. Oklahoma now has a 1 in 8 chance of damaging quakes in 2016, surpassing California as the state with the highest probability. Natural earthquake risk also increased around the New Madrid fault in Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Illinois As a result, earthquakes caused by human activity will now be included in the U.S. Geological Survey's seismic risk maps. 'By including human-induced events, our assessment of earthquake hazards has significantly increased in parts of the US,' said Mark Petersen, Chief of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3512784/USGS-revises-seismic-risk-map-include-quakes-caused-humans.html |

Unfortunately, I think the feds will play the next round against someone smaller, easier to push around, in order to set precedent. They didn't expect Apple to play hardball and didn't want to risk setting precedent against its heavy resources. Maybe next time, they go after Android encryption developers. Easy peasy. Then Apple won't have any legs to stand on.
The question though is that the market is split between Android and Apple systems not including stuff like Palm or Windows 10 by default, they can't really push groups like Research in Motion because RIM is pretty much turning into a security company. In a sense the best defense is an oligopoly in the phone market. That said your right they can likely try to push some other groups to make precedent for an Apple case but it will depend on if the court will even want to after seeing the US government going to a third party to resolve it outside of the court and saying FU to the judiciary in a sense. |

Also watching this from Bloomberg it's interesting that the hostages were mostly released.
Perhaps a chance of defusing the situation is still possible either way its worth watching.

Feel like adding a breath of life to this topic. What happens in Gay Alimony who gets the kid ? We can't go with Feminist legal view where the Women in the relationship gets the kid most of the time and the assets are split that way for the guy until the kid is 18 since we have two guys or two women who broke up and adopted a kid together. So who adopts the kid is a legit question and who makes the payments. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/09/30/the-gay-divorce-trap-when-same-sex-marriage-goes-wrong.htmlWhen a heterosexual couple divorces, a judge determines custody rights—both visitation and child support—based on a child’s best interest. But that issue is complicated for gay couples who raised children together if only one is an adoptive parent. New York, for example, doesn’t recognize “de facto” parents—those who, according to the American Law Institute, “share (at least) equally in primary childcare responsibilities while residing with a child for reasons other than money.” As a result, a biological or adoptive parent can “literally slam the door on the other parent—and vice versa; the other parent can walk away—and then the judge won’t even look at visitation rights or child support,” says Karen Moulding, co-author of Sexual Orientation & The Law, an annually updated legal treatise on LGBT and alternative family issues. “Now we have this situation where same-sex couples can get divorced, but some states including New York don’t necessarily enforce parental rights and responsibilities.” |

Protestant vote
- It keeps a semblance of moral order and societal beliefs while allowing for debate and discussion + acceptance of other viewpoints and religions.
That and you still have a community that you can connect to once a week that involve people from different age groups in a non serious setting, kind of like the original real life meetup.
Outside of a bar or some exclusive clubs/groups I can't really say there are places where people from all ages can talk and meet up casually.
More like reality look at PC after work maybe mall go home so a dedicated location for this stuff is useful.
Atheist - Depends on how extreme you are the spectrum is wide but you can get mixed in with some of the shit pools alongside legitimately nice atheists.
Pity there aren't that many meetups unless your like in Atheists United on meetup.com or something hehe, but there isn't like a dedicated building or anything that's convenient for that lol.

Your facts are lies..The guy your talking about is a TOTAL LIAR. So what he as said is all lies..So you believe liars do you.. CRAZY
The guy trying to make him self cash and fame .So all your proof now has to be thrown out of the window..Be no good in court your evidence
Also what he was doing was not in support for the gay community
"Oh give me a break" "Yeah, yeah, I know, you're an adult," Little Popcorn The study researched and arrived at a result the Pink Mafia didn't like and the one that put a gigantic amount of Political Money to cover up the truth are the liars. Pink Mafia Logic: Pay the study makers make them say what we want to hear and then put it all over the press, if someone disagrees we will throw them under a bus and never mention our false studies were lies or correct it in the news. Equality! Acceptance! Tolerance! Ignorance! Who sponsors these studies 90% of the media is controlled by the Pink Mafia in the USA. Be honest if you mind drone the big six corporations you can make up all the BS you want just look at Trump bashing. By surveying what is available for consumption in the mass media, it is easy to see what type of society these 6 corporations are helping to construct. They have the power to warp reality by calling staged shows ‘reality’ shows. Ideas which don’t support mainstream narratives and the consumer agenda are omitted, and stories about independent people over-coming strife without dependence on government are seldom if ever elevated. The bottom line is that corporate media is a behemoth of special interests and mind controllers. So much of the human story is omitted in this capitalistic, for-profit environment scheme like this, which is why now more than ever the independent, alternative media is such a gem for human kind. But we love you anyways even if you control a cesspool of crap we call the mainstream media, honestly we give you the respect and love that you won't give us, but why don't you love us Gay Sempai, and give us the love that you so diligently deny US.http://www.wakingtimes.com/2015/08/28/the-illusion-of-choice-90-of-american-media-controlled-by-6-corporations/
I want to note that this was not my point. I don't support parents dictating someone's sexuality for them, nor do I support the state removing a child from their natural parents for doing so as long as they are not otherwise being abused. My only implication was that friends and family, some times direct dependents are homosexual, which has a direct effect on not only them, but all of the residents of the places where the law is in effect. This is why I did not want to give any examples because it leaves so much room for interpretation and slinging accusations. The point is the law applies to everyone, not just gays. The implication that it does not effect anyone else is a lie. Furthermore the constant accusations of bigotry, homophobia, etc placed upon anyone who dares raise this point is not only abusive but counterproductive to true equality.
Sum it up: The Butterfly Effect: It creates ripples all over and different choices that create headaches in cause and effect. + Political Correctness “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I’ve been challenged by so many people, and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-mash/is-america-becoming-too-p_b_9387060.html |

I like trump so when your voting for him make sure you know what your voting for because what you say makes no difference to the gay community. I see Donald trump like this.A bio party man.perfect president. republican liberal democrat all rolled into 1. So could be a good thing trump. But then again could be the worse thing America have ever done BUT can it get any worse than what's on offer now.So what ever happens still wont bother the LGBT Community. Plus why get rid of the LGBT movement Don't you like to PARTY Grumpy old fart  I am to old to party but let the young enjoy there lives and be free .BORING MAN we don't get long on this planet  Trump is Samson pushing the paradigm back to open discussion, he ain't got time for this. He's breaking up Super PAC's which pay their way to influence and power at the expense of everyone else and breaking establishment traditions while pointing out all the crap they are spouting, i'm just grateful we have a guy that's doing all that for everyone's sake. If you look at who's really trying to stop free speech it's : the left. Are you aware of how Facebook and Twitter are censoring conservative voices? It's by assaulting debate under the brand of equality. Textbooks nowadays write in minor characters under the brand of equality and inclusion to give a historical viewpoint that is not relevant so minorities feel better. The Haudenosaunee political system ring a bell? I thought so. http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/26568/Pretending to be nice and clean on the outside then having your minions attack your opponents for you using attack Ads then pretending to be squeaky clean themselves is US politics. Trump can exist because our norms have become hollowed shells of what they purport to be. Our norms have been gamed. It feels very much like we’ve gotten to a point where people in many of our institutions, in positions of authority, follow the letter of the law about civic decency, but have almost entirely abandoned the spirit of the law. Trump just takes the last little leap and ditches the letter of the law too. |

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3473136/Bangladesh-considering-abandoning-Islam-official-religion-following-wake-extremist-attacks.htmlBangladesh could drop Islam as the country's official religion following a string of extremist attacks against people of other faiths. The supreme court in the South Asia nation has began to hear arguments which challenge Islam's status as the official state religion. It comes after a spate of attacks against people of other religions such as Hindus, Christians, and minorities Shi'ites, which have been blamed on Islamic extremists. Definitely a step in the right direction. Religion must have no place in the government. The news from the Islamic world is mixed. Once secular countries such as Turkey and Indonesia are rapidly becoming Islamized. And the only good news is coming from Bangladesh. I'm fine with it the country should do what it wants in the end the people decide what they want. But I'm just saying that they rather not replace religion with an extremist religion when they fill in that void, it could be like Syria kill the official heads and chaos is born. |

Go and do your research.
Disgraced Researcher on Gay Marriage Accused of Lying about Funding
Not only does it appear that UCLA grad student Michael LaCour lied about the results of his study on how easy it is to change minds on gay marriage, but it also appears he falsified data on his CV. With much ballyhoo, Science journal published a paper by LaCour and his colleague, Professor Donald Green of Columbia University, which showed that opponents of gay marriage could not only have their minds changed after a 20-minute scripted conversation, but that their minds stayed changed over time. The mainstream and advocacy media celebrated the results. After all, this fit into the narrative that Americans are eager to support “marriage equality,” and even opponents can be persuaded if they meet an earnest gay man face to face. Turns out, it all appears to be a fraud. The grad student allegedly faked the data and later said he accidentally deleted it from his computer. His colleague hastily wrote to Science, stating the paper was a phony. Now it comes to light that LaCour allegedly lied about funding sources for his now-disgraced study. He claimed he received funding for his paper from the Ford Foundation, the Williams Institute at UCLA, and the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. Each institution now denies ever funding LaCour or his study. Jesse Singal, writing in New York magazine’s Science of Us reported Tuesday that another funding claim on LaCour’s CV is also phony. LaCour said he received $160,000 from the Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation. The foundation reportedly told Singal they had not funded LaCour at all. One of the odd angles of the media narrative is the comparison between Michael LaCour’s alleged fraud and the authenticated research of Mark Regnerus, who has become a punching bag for advocates of same-sex marriage. Regnerus published the largest-ever analysis of children raised by LGBTs compared to those raised by single moms and those raised by their biological mother and father. His study showed that across a whole host of measurements, the children raised by two men or two women in a same-sex relationship fared far worse in life than those raised by the children’s biological mother and father. Despite an ongoing assault on his methods and findings, Regnerus’s study has never been retracted by the peer-reviewed publication that published it. What’s more, even though his university carried out an investigation, both his methods and findings were given a clean bill of health, even by those who support gay marriage.Matthew Franck, writing at First Things, says any comparison between the two studies and the two researchers is entirely specious. One study was “the first ever research, using a nationally representative sample, on the young-adult outcomes for kids raised by people who have same-sex romantic relationships.” The other reportedly was a fraud. No comparison. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/gay-marriage-study-author-admits-lies-science-journal-says-n366266http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/05/27/disgraced-researcher-on-gay-marriage-accused-of-lying-about-funding/ |

I don't agree with his religious views and stuff either but it's one of those things where it's just very nice to see someone who when he meets somebody else intelligent is entirely capable of having a rational conversation with them about various subjects. I've been pretty annoyed lately especially with the left and how they try to demonise people who disagree with them constantly, it's one of these things where I'm just, if they want to leave everybody alone then what the fucks your problem?
Thankfully even if you don't agree with any of them we are seeing more people like this come out of the woodwork and tell these political fanatics to fuck off.
Donald has helped give people room to breathe without the persecution from the non PC SJW view. Without Trump the spectrum of conversation was smaller and part of the reason congress kept having shutdowns. It's comforting to know people want to have rational conversations in this world without being persecuted for their opinion. |

All that writing only to be told your full off shit..
Oh, you’re so politically correct. You’re so beautiful,I know, you’re so perfect. Aren’t you perfect. Aren’t you just a perfect young man "Hey, give me a break. You know what? It’s stuff like that that people in this country are tired of. It’s stuff like that." The anti-PC college professor (50, California) ‘I’m angry at forced diversity’ I’m a liberal-left college professor in the social sciences. I’m going to vote for Trump but I won’t tell hardly anybody. My main reason is anger at the two-party system and the horrible presidencies of Obama and Bush. But I’m also furious at political correctness on campus and in the media. I’m angry at forced diversity and constant, frequently unjustified complaints about racism/sexism/homophobia/lack of trans rights. I’m particularly angry at social justice warriors and my main reason to vote Trump is to see the looks on your faces when he wins. It’s not that I like Trump. It’s that I hate those who can’t stand him. I want them to suffer the shock of knowing all their torrents of blog posts and Tumblr bitch-fests and “I just can’t ...” and accusations of mansplaining didn’t actually matter. That they’re still losing. And that things are not getting better for them. They’re getting worse. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/03/secret-donald-trump-voters-speak-outBefore he ran, the left’s stranglehold on the national conversation of what is or isn’t tolerable was getting stronger by the minute. It was the year of Caitlyn Jenner. Rachel Dolezal. Black Lives Matter. Anyone who even hinted at disapproval was exiled. Every week, someone would dare to blurt out something un-PC, and the media would absolutely crucify them. It had me thinking this was it. We’ve lost. How on earth can we hope to defeat these people, with their complete domination of the national conversation and relentless narrative of “Progress! Tolerance! Acceptance! Feels!”? Political correctness is the birthplace of disastrous, un-American policies that will destroy the country in a death by a thousand cuts. But here comes Trump, the first person who didn’t even blink when the machine turns its sights on him.He didn’t just fight back. He chewed it up and spit it out. |

I voted: Hilary Clinton, but I don't think Trump has no chances to be the next president. The thing is his campaign is aimed on uneducated people mostly who are ready to believe that making America great again is so easy and simple as he puts it. I hope he won't win, but well ... time will tell.
One way or the other we will all be munching popcorn and compromising on the final result in the end. In the meanwhile it is entertaining to watch no matter what side of the political spectrum your on  (well unless your of the persuasion that all the people left are wackjobs and nutjobs and were doomed cause their is no one left who is good lol) |

I'm leaning towards Trump taking it all in the end, I had a feeling he would own the Republican debate since pretty much when he came in ... the pundits Suck SO HARD at predicting this ... basically everyone else saw it before the media finally did lol.
As for Hillary Vs Trump
It's kind of a choose your poison but the main question I have is if all the independent/democrats are sincerely for Trump when they vote in those states or kind of hoping for a Hillary Trump run to benefit them and what that will reflect like in the end poll.
Aka how many sabotage swing votes are there nationwide.
Also how much Republican Donor Money is Swinging to Hillary to protect their monopoly of power and influence lol.
