U6 for the nation is just under 14%. Probably climbing, as a result of five years of incompetent economic policy out of this administration.

Faith based red state with high work ethic. Places where libs go after they screw up the state they are from.

KKK wins lawsuit against bakery for discrimination This is a satire site. But gee, why couldn't this happen? Politics August 23, 2013 Comments: 23 A Georgia court has ruled in favor of the KKK in a discrimination lawsuit. A Georgia court has ruled in favor of Marshall Saxby, the Grand Wizard of a local KKK chapter, in a lawsuit stemming from two years ago when a local bakery denied him service. The three judge panel concluded unanimously that the bakery had violated civil rights laws by discriminating against Saxby when they refused to sell him a cake for his organization’s annual birthday party. Elaine Bailey, who owns Bailey Bakeries, refused to bake a cake for the ceremony because it violated her religious beliefs. Saxby filed the lawsuit claiming that Bailey’s refusal of service was discriminatory against his religious beliefs. The case is similar to the recent decision in New Mexico where a court has ruled that a photographer discriminated against a gay couple for refusing to provide them service. Bailey said in a prepared statement, “it’s a sad day when bigots have to be treated equally before the law. If they can discriminate against people, then surely I cannot be forced to support their beliefs by providing them services against my will.” Saxby was very happy with the outcome, stating “the law says that it’s wrong to discriminate against people if you run a business, and that means she was wrong in discriminating against our organization by refusing us service.” People on both sides of the issue have had varying remarks. One man stated “I am against anti-discrimination laws. Freedom means people are able to do what they wish with their lives and property. Society can punish bad behaviors in a market, but the power to take away from someones life as if it did not belong to them is frightening. Another person familiar with the case responded “This is not the same as denying service to someone based on the color of their skin or sexual preference. This was a choice by the owner of the bakery to not serve someone based on their bigoted lifestyle, and there’s nothing wrong with that.” Many wonder that if she had simply lied about her reasoning, would this have even been an issue. That leaves the question to the public, do they want discrimination to happen out in the open where people can pinpoint it, or do they want it to operate a cloaked manner where it happens but it’s hard to tell who is doing it? http://tribuneherald.net/2013/08/23/kkk-wins-lawsuit-against-bakery-for-discrimination/

bent you are in big trouble SI dimtr is going though all accounts looking for nudity and will banish all who have posted it. you have posted many nude pictures. someone should turn you in Dear Silicon Investor Members, The upload to Silicon Investor of any photographs containing nudity is strictly forbidden. Doing so subjects the poster of such material to immediate account termination. There is a strong likelihood that some members are going to find out this is no joke after a full posting policy and image archive review underway. We are on the receiving end of financial penalties as the result of a few users, who mistakenly seem to think that their sense of humor allows for exceptions to our Terms of Use, with respect to vulgar and obscene content. Sincerely, @Dima Message 29136691

Bent, SIer formerly know as Joe B suspended for 90 days just for posting that picture and SI ron saved him from banishment, you have posted way way worse and many many pictures Joe, You just spoke up at the wrong time. I truly was NOT the mood to hear from you. A post of yours, of a naked woman with a $100 bill in her anus has directly resulted in the suspension of our AdSense account. You are suspended for 90 days. Now I get to waste my weekend reviewing every image ever uploaded to SI. You are very lucky that SI Ron spoke up for you. @Dima Message 29137090 it would be a shame if someone turned you in, with all your spiking drinks with acid and such
