A german buddy of mine explained this. basically, german is an infinite language. Anyone can make up a word to describe something and it would instantaneously be recognizable. for example, to describe an are by a drainage pipe, we would say area by the drainage pipe. however, the germans have theor own word for it by combining drainage pipe and near(the german words for them).
TL;DR German is awesome

Is this even constitutional? I wouldn't be surprised if a court case starts making its way up through the federal courts.

Alright, I read the article a little bit more now. If it starts affecting people of different religions (like Christians discriminating against Muslims or the like), I can see it picking up steam in the court system. With the ambiguity surrounding LGBT rights and the Court's position on them, though, I'm not sure what'll happen with it.

The funny thing is that this law is basically only being used to tell people why they're being discriminated against. Legal discrimination. Weird term.
In the US, business owners have the right to refuse service for any reason and not tell anyone what that reason is. If a store owner turned someone away because they were Muslim and didn't tell anyone why, it'd be legal.
This law is stupid because one: Legal Discrimination & two: the only point of this law is to tell people why they're being discriminated against, lol.
Also, no need to worry. States are boycotting Indiana by blocking flights there. Want to go to Indiana? Fly to Chicago and drive there. As for the law itself, Indiana is quivering in their boots. However, the Supreme Court may rule how they ruled with Hobby Lobby.

It doesn't bother me at all. Considering that the English came into North America and in some places attempted to commit genocide on the aboriginal peoples, you shouldn't get upset when someone discriminates against you either.
human history is paved in bloodshed and discrimination and every other heinous thing
that doesn't excuse it then, but it also doesn't work as an excuse to justify or condone it now. the past is full of awful things, but that's all it is. just the past. humanity needs to work on bettering itself, and repeating history instead of learning from it is exactly how progress doesn't happen

I hate it so much. We were doing so good with a good portion of the world of now accepting and supporting the lgbt community and with gay marriage being legalized in several states now and now this happened.
I am so pissed off and disgusted with the State of Indiana and the guy who created this bs law. I can understand why the guy decided to propose the law (because he's a weak disgusting man with no life) but the fact that the state passed it and that they even considered it makes me so mad. Not that I was ever go gonna there, but I'm boycotting that state forever. Even after they realized the mistake they made and change it, it's dead to me. As far as I'm concerned there is only 49 states in America.
This is such a giant step backwards. I suppose until lgbt is fully accepted, there is going to be a big bang of chaos. But I hate it.

Get back to me when you are actually discriminated against. Let me know how that feels, okay?

Well that's true ^.^
If I said to someone "der Abflussrohrnahe Bereich" (the drainagepipenear area) instead of "der Bereich beim Abflussrohr" (the area near to the drainage pipe) it would seem/sound kind of weird though :'D
But for other word combinations it's pretty neat :3

It's absolutely disgusting, and it's honestly horribly primitive and completely destroys what progress the world has in equality. As far as I'm concerned, everyone has the same biological structure, we speak languages what can at least be understood by others, we experience the same emotions, we bleed the same blood: thus, we are one in one singular, accumulative kind. I know it's to be expected, considering racism and all that repugnant garbage: but why should people be rejected just because they don't fit with the perfect world described in religion?
What's worse is that the introduction of these laws can be a pathetic excuse to be manipulated even by an irreligious society, just because people are consumed by hatred and a need for turmoil. It's absolutely horrific.
Even worse, it's being considered where I live. If it's introduced, then I'm likely going to make like a tree and leave.

Humanity has come this far by reflecting and learning from the past. Certainly, monstrosities will always happen, but the price people in history payed for brutalities inflicted upon them, has given people today a new moral code.
So its not like you say, they had to suffer it, so should you.
Its more like they had to suffer, but because of that we know better now.
Because if you can`t deal with it that way, all the suffering of people in the past would have been in vain.

That is quite honestly the most ignorant thing I have ever read and I'm having a hard time telling if you're ****posting right now.

They tried to pass a very similar law(SB1062) here in Arizona last year.Arizona is the poster child for stupid legislation but even our then-governor(who is Republican) had the good sense to veto this proposed law.

Well, is humanity learning? The US definitely is not learning. Neither is the rest of the world.
I'm actually pretty heavily discriminated against in my schools for being openly Christian and kind to others. People hate me for it, mock me for it, and I have learned to deal with it.
Either way, I'm allowed to stand up for whatever ethnic groups I want. Even if I had not been discriminated against before, it does not mean I can argue that what early settlers did was wrong and why what they're doing now is also wrong. Are you supported the attempted genocide of the aboriginals?
I obviously don't support discrimination, just making a point.
