but, i need a new pencil sharpener ;m; and they have the good art ones

Order one online? ;o

but, i live walking distance X3, >_> plus i hate going in there already, there organizational skills are shit

Well then this is even more reason not to give these fools your money! :O

>_> i hated them already, its just, theirs no other art place in my city

Man am I glad my insurance covers that shit. :v

It has to! Or they get fined haha. Owners of HL are just giving the finger to the people telling them they have to regardless of any fines incurred, even if the cost of fines outweighs the birth control. It's just nonsense to take away these rights especially when their main clientele is females, they're going to lose a lot of business.

I've encountered the same info recently. So damn disappointing :( Yeah, not shopping there. I very much exercise my consumer power in cases like these.

Yeah I saw it a while ago just forgot to make a journal about it until just recently I came across something saying they had a "Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day: Stand Up for Religious Freedom" thing. Having a day to support the CEO’s stubborn determination to not give his employees birth control coverage just really rubs me the wrong way. I think it was on the 5th.

Religious hardliners/extremists needs to be shot down... *sighs*

Yeah, he goes off saying that he should not be forced to do something that is against his beliefs while at the same time stripping sooo many people of their own rights. Can't stand it.

In a way, I hope he's forced to pay fines and ends up bankrupt and stuff. On the other hand, I hope not since this would mean that all of his employees would loose their job, which would be very bad for them.

They've said they would rather pay the million dollar fines than give these people what they deserve. D:
Though for now they have been able to avoid it: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/.....care-loophole/

Laws... *sighs* always a loophole somewhere...

This makes me glad that there isn't a Hobby Lobby in my town. That's just plain rude..

-nods-
Very unfair to push your religious beliefs on your employees.

Very!

oh wow, I shop at hoppy lobby on the reg too
guess i'll be changing over to michaels

*cheers*
I used to shop at hobby lobby alllll the time too. :/
No only for art stuff but cloth, miniatures supplies, etc.

What the FUCK? How sexist can they be? They would rather spend more money paying fines than providing their female employees with a need? Wow. Just wow. I seriously hate being my gender sometimes. It's hard enough to get mine even with my insurance.

Please don't hate me Sharky! I'm giving you Information that the news seems to be missing from that link. I'm not doing this to flame or troll. All of this is Information that can be found with a simple Google search.

I'm not Defending Hobby Lobby but "rights" and "laws" are different.

As stated here for reference so no one thinks I'm blowing this out my back side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights

While I'm not religious i DO understand the Owner giving Obama care the middle finger as it's forcing a change to how he runs his business fundamentally. Like how they are closed on Sunday because He himself is religious. Things like this are not new to Hobby Lobby, as since the company has been open since the early 1970's, and is why a huge portion of his customer base were/are Religious Females and males ,though way smaller percentage. How the business is run and was started can be found here http://www.hobbylobby.com/our_compa.....ur_company.cfm.

I quote "The foundation of our business has been, and will continue to be strong values, and honoring the Lord in a manner consistent with Biblical principles."

It's not that he is forcing his Religion on employees. The way the store is run is spelled out in the application process when applying for a job, and when read about how it was founded, and how it's going to continue to run while the owner is alive.

You do have the RIGHT to take birth control if YOU wish. Just like you have the right to abortion. It is NOT a right to have either supplied for you by a company or business. The Government already has programs for this established.

You Do have the right not to shop there because he is refusing to bend to a new law he feels infringes on His rights as a business owner.

So then when is the owner gonna die? :|

Uhh no idea. I imagine things will continue after he is dead as well as, if i remember correctly, his family is part of it.

Well damn.

Oh well. :I Still shopping there.
