I don’t think you’re allowed to use the words “science” and “evidence” any more, although that may only be if you work for the gubbermint.
It doesn’t count if it’s your own.
They have to say those words if they gunna pray agin 'em.
“bad thought” is sufficient.
I’d actually never really paid any attention to him before. I’d seen him post in a few other threads, but I admit that he floated in under my radar.
I honestly thought that this was performance art being done very badly.
Someone mentioned something about Chem Trails.
Never much on my own radar beyond a vague awareness of occasional angry/stupid comments. But I noticed that he seems to be ramping up the supercilious jerkishness on even the most mundane of GQ-type topics recently. So out of interest I checked the Pit, and discovered this interesting read.
Apparently even if he got the personality transplant that so desperately needs, that might not go far to fix Flyer’s intellectual shortcomings, nor his bigotry & self-righteous hypocrisy. The underage porn thing came out of left field, I’m not sure what to make of that. What would Jesus do? According to Flyer, it seems Jesus would split his time between hating fags and jacking off to Ron Jeremy abusing 16-year-olds.
What a foul embarrassment for humanity.
To conclude on a more wholesome and entertaining note than Flyer’s personality, however:
Click links to see that the reference is to:
Since 16 was the age of legal consent in that state, Jared Fogle was not charged with a crime. But does Flyer believe that “prosecutors declined to press charges” and “not a creep” are synonyms? That view would be quite opposite to his Biblical blather quoted upthread.
I’m glad for this thread. Flyer started pinging my radar in the last few months (didn’t remember him before that time) and I wondered if it was just me being too sensitive. Nope - he really is awful.
WTF’s up with post #78?
Holy fuck.
Flyer - dude - are you for fucking real? I couldn’t even click on those links.
Feel like I could use a good shower now.
https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21402785 Post 14. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t nderstand what this place is.
A well-deserved warning.
Flyer, bubbeleh, it’s not your political positions. It’s 'cause you’re a jerk.
Yeah, you’re not even in the top ten whipping boys.
Here’s a summary of some of Flyer’s views on morality & sexuality.
First some relatively mainstream homophobic bigotry, on the slippery slope of granting any rights at all to gay people:

Here Flyer explains that MAGA means returning to the moral golden age of the 1950’s, when most of us were good Christians and conflation of church and state was a virtue. A time when extramarital sex was shameful and the LGBT perverts knew their place in the shadows; when women did not “go half naked in public” but dressed demurely in skirts and dresses “instead of cross-dressing”.
https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20438196
In another account of our moral decay, he conflates women’s dress choices, such as daring to wear a t-shirt & shorts in public, with “showing simulations of sex in popular entertainment”. He feels that women, when making an immodest choice to show their legs, deserve boorish reactions from men.

He shows particular and recurrent concern that teenage girls dress like sluts, posting several images (links now defunct) to support his point.
https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20273625
He starts a thread to state his belief that porn featuring 16-year-olds should be legal; to express concern for people accidentally caught with child porn imagery; and to assert that only “actual predators” should be considered sex offenders. (I don’t think that all the views he expresses in this OP are wrong per se; but they seem sinister in the context of his broader misogynistic and bigoted worldview.)
In a thread about the Jared/Subway scandal, he makes a post - apparently unironic - consisting of the following comment:
Replying top a comment/thread specifically about child molesters, he says explicitly that “childhood innocence is a modern invention”. I can see no possible way to interpret this other than an assertion that child victims of molestation are not innocent, but are are complicit in their own abuse.

In a non-sexual context, he further elaborates his views on the criminal responsibility of young children. He asserts that a 12-year-old should have been executed for murder.

ETA: I tried above to fairly summarize his stated views (it’s hardly necessary to exaggerate them), but on rereading the last thread I now realize that he was not asserting that a child should have been executed at the age of 12; although she was still only 13 when convicted.
Of further relevance, I note that he linked to what appears to be an MRA website for the story of Jasmine Richardson (I won’t link to it again, here’s Wikipedia). Her alleged actions per that MRA website included (as a 12-year-old child) seducing her 23-year-old boyfriend to induce him to commit murder. Direct quote from the site he linked to:
It’s strange to see so many terrible qualities in a single poster. Bigot? Check. Religious fanatic? Check. Apparent pedophilic tendencies? Check. What a scumbag. And one of the least self-aware posters on this board. I have little doubt that he truly believes that he’s a person of very high character, and the rest of us are all moral scum.
It’s like that old Bewitched show: the character changed dramatically between seasons.
Oh, he’s far from the worst poster we’ve had. That’s the scary thing.
He’s still pretty fucking bad, though.
