I didn't actually read the article, but it seemed worth sharing for the headline :) (I'm sure what actually happened is a lot duller than the images it creates in your mind)

I wouldn't be so sure... Have you ever gotten between an old lady and her bingo game?

If you work in a nursing home you know that this is far from rare and the least of the wackiness that can come up
Don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers

More infuriating than interesting.

All so that Cuomo can prove that he is progressive enough...

Really makes no sense that they keep driving up Prime costs to partially pay for video costs. How many people have Prime just for the videos?

Tesla owners are still like early adopters of a new technology. It’s amazing until you need the smallest part. Then say goodbye to your Tesla for 3 months...

Someone actually understands math and basic economics, and is proposing a different solution than what Merkel implemented.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

This is great news! Please all Ungarishe, go back to where you came from. Ze Nehene, V'ze Nehene.
I've had enough of all the Hungarians.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Years ago they used to say Mattel was coming out with Divorce Barbie, and it would sell for twice the price of the regular Barbie cause it would come with all of Kens stuff....

I shudder to think of what variations we will see coming down the road.

We always knew that free speech is single sided.

While I agree about free speech being one sided, I don't think that applies here. I assume the hotel is a private business, not government owned. Free speech wouldn't apply.

Not talking about the hotel, I'm talking about those that complained. If the situation would be reversed, where a private hotel had an advertising banner promoting perverted lifestyles, and it would have been taken down due to people complaining to the hotel, we all know how they would react.

People who say this are a pet peeves of mine...

The question isn't whether what the hotel (or any other private person) did is illegal. The argument is that it goes against the idea of free speech which is a modern value.
