public protests by Christians in front of every Office Depot across the country is in order.....perhaps the anti-protestors will show up and burn the towns down in order to garner 'sympathy' for their 'kill babies' agenda.

Similar to bakeries in the news?

Of course those cited religious reasons but, IMO, that's just a scapegoat approach and individual business owners should be allowed to offer what they wish. If Office Depot objects to printing controversial material, let them do it. If a baker objects to making a controversial cake, it's close enough to the same. But, if a baker is legally forced to provide a cake made to the specifications of any customer who walks in the door, OD should be required to accommodate them. We need to make up our minds here one way or the other.

Well...apparantly, this was the controversial flier
Sep 12, 2015 7:26AM PDT

that the particular Office Depot in Schaumburg, Illinois didn't want to print but have since backed down.

Prayer for the Conversion of Planned Parenthood

Just look at the insulting and inflammatory language that was intended to be foisted on those who accepted the flier. Happy

It's free speech
Sep 12, 2015 7:52AM PDT

Do you think that protestors have their signs and fliers hand made or does some printing company like Office Depot make them for them?

Unfortunately, I don't think free speech pertains
Sep 12, 2015 8:42AM PDT

when asking someone else to do your printing. It may be your free speech but it's their business decision. It's obvious that many businesses have their own idea of what is ethical and what is not. In viewing commercials these days, many just do what they think will get people to watch (or leer and drool) whether it has much to do with the product or not. I don't think it would be proper to expect a business to participate in helping make another person's statement but it could be that the wedding cake debacle might become more interesting if more folks press businesses for custom services they're uncomfortable in preforming.
