| Topic | Trump, Sessions: Buisnesses have a right to discriminate against LGBT |
| C7D 09/15/17 10:03:50 AM #249 | Nepsy posted... Normal people would just take their business somewhere else. These are not normal people. They want to force their lifestyle choices down the throats of any who oppose. They elect leaders who use their lifestyle choices as litmus tests for appointing those who interpret the law further cementing their stand. They cry bigot and attempt to intimidate those who disagree with them. They use their status as a weapon. They don't want you to just bake their cake. They want to make you like it. |

If there is a scarcity of non Christian cake bakers expect your request to go unfulfilled anyway. As I said in my post a few days ago, this has nothing to do with tolerance and only to do with bullying via the court system. You will never make Christians believe your lifestyle choices are pleasing in the eyes of our God. Therefore, those choices can never be considered pleasing in our eyes either. |

| C7D 09/14/17 8:02:50 AM #217 | UnfairRepresent posted... "The law is the law and therefore right" is a dumb argument from people who have no actual point We have laws in place that compel our citizens to buy a product and laws in place that apparently compel our citizens to provide goods and services against their conscience in order to appeal to those whom they feel are morally repugnant. I wonder what the law will compel us to do next. In a free society, the cake baker or photographer, providers of nonessential services, would be free to choose their clientele. This is no different than if the photographer or baker would choose not to participate in weddings for satanists. I'm beginning to wonder how much longer they may have that right. The heart of this agenda is not tolerance. It is acceptance which requires beating down anyone who disagrees with them. While they claim to be against bullying, they sure carry a big stick in the form of the court system |

I used to hear stories about that from relatives who "weren't right". That's all they knew to say about it at the time. When I was in grad school, I developed new clinical diagnostic tools. We wrote a grant proposal with a neurosurgeon to NIH on attempting to find certain compounds which were consistent with Alzheimer's. We got to the final stage, but our proposal was not funded while I was a grad student. |

He had keys to access the building after hours and such and had to do things like lock up rooms with animals so that the cleaning staff couldn't get in and fuck up the ongoing experiments, and that he was basically paid to get his degree--although not much. He still worked side jobs for general living expenses. This is customizable. I got 4 exams : electrokinetics, neutron scattering, clinical diagnostics, and polymer physics.

What you are saying makes it sound like he was the PI on his research. That's not normal for a PhD student. Professors should either hold a grant to do your research already or work with the student for future studies. For example, my research was funded by government sources and private funding from an outside company. We did apply together for funding for future studies and future students but that was not a primary aim of my graduation. I think this is fairly typical. We wrote a few NSF grant proposals and one from NIH, but I have since moved on since I didn't want to be a professor. |

It is necessary to ensure that both there is an adequate level of safety as well as ensure insuring profitability for American chemical producers. That is the goal of an entire branch of chemical engineering referred to as PSM. I can tell you the regulations are stronger here in the US than in any other first world country I have been to.

Arkema produces organic peroxides at this site. They store their product in 1 and 5 kg containers on pallets. This product is used in the production of plastics and will only work when the purity of the product is very high. The area in which these pallets are stored must be cooled or the product will begin decomposing and combust into water and co2. Neither of those is toxic. I'm guessing the containers and the pallets caught fire which could cause black smoke similar to when you burn a log in your fireplace. We won't know till the CSB has the final word. Stop fearmongering. You don't know what you are talking about here. |

That's fair. My wife is truly incredible. She asks me what I want to eat for dinner every night, packs my lunch for me every day, and supports me in my goals. She is a good, Christian woman who goes with me to church every time the door is open. She always asks my opinion on things like her hair, her nails, and her clothes. She works outside of the home while raising the kids, and still tries to clean up before I get home from work. I know that I truly hit the jackpot. |

Your spouse should love you enough to strive to please you. Your weight does not define who you are. It does typically define sexual attraction though. My wife lost weight for me.
