    Then why was it used to compare at the start of this thread and all through this thread? I didn't start the comparison between the 2, the OP did, and many joined into his opinion. People have been playing victim, or crying other hunters are victim to discrimination, but not that long ago in another thread were saying gays should be able to be discriminated against. Its very interesting to say the least. And as pointed out many times by Hook, they are way different in the first place. I am just pointing out its funny and inconsistent with what many wanted in another thread.

    Lighten up Sally.......Did you even read my OP?

    The observation has to do with political correctness....not gay bashing or feeling like a victim....LOL

    Listen up Jenny, I never said that he did. I said he used the comparison, and that others through out the thread have cried victim. And don't think I said anything about gay bashing at all, but reading is hard, so I will let you slide on that.

    My view either way has not changed, right to discriminate and consumers right not to do business with said company for it. SO I'll repeat my initial post...I wouldn't give them one thin damn dime.

    I can't wait for October, when I'll be hunting and nobody will remember Cecil the Lion.

    I hope I'm not included there... I've wanted gay marriage to be legal for a long time now. I think it's crap how they went about it, but the end result I have no qualms with.

    I also agree with Delta's right to do this. I don't get the restrictions to just a few animals, but that's irrelevant. I just personally will choose to spend my money elsewhere if/when at all possible now. It's a novel idea, to spend money elsewhere vs fighting to shut a business down when they don't agree with your ideals.

    The further we move from nature the further we move from our true selves.

    Courts ruled that private businesses have to accept all business. Unless of course it doesn't fit their agenda such as in this case. UPS has come out and said they will gladly continue to ship these items and are happy to have the business.
