In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Publix supermarket in South Carolina censors high school graduate's cake
Well, we're guessing the folks at this particular Publix supermarket didn't graduate summa cum laude.

The story starts with a proud mom ordering a cake online for her son's graduation party. On it she wanted the words "Congrats Jacob! Summa Cum Laude Class of 2018."

But then she found that the software at the Publix near their home in West Ashley, S.C., refused to include the word "Cum" in the decoration on top of the cake because it considered it to be profane.

Completely off topic, but I realized I never really looked at your profile picture @Hank77. I've always glanced at it and saw a satellite dish... now I realize it's an owl. :doh:
Hey,
It's good to know SOMEBODY needs glasses more than I do!!
Of course, I won't wear them -- they'd spoil my looks.
:rolleyes:

Boy, that's a special level of ignorant right there. Fortunately it seemed to be a badly programmed system than some yobbo making the call and failing spectacularly.

Hmmm, they didn't have a decorator who could write?
That's what I was wondering. Is the entire process so automated that they don't have piping bags? Heck even then they could go into the baking aisle and get a tube of frosting and do it by hand.

They did the same thing to my cake. All I asked for was for it to say: "[Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse] You Anakin for [Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse] my [Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse][Bless and do not curse] so sad." And they censored it! Can you believe it?
