Yes. You are the only person in the whole world who knows. And you post here! It’s a board miracle.

I feel like the homophobia side lost so badly and got smacked down so hard and so fast that they are just clinging to whatever little “victory” they can scrounge up to save face. **Billfish678** ’s celebration seemed so utterly fake and forced i wanted to find the “that’s a fake laugh” clip from guardians of the galaxy to reply to him.

A Three’s Company fake laugh track will do just fine 🙂

Long Story Short. I DID find it funny as hell. But not for the reasons you probably think. Though to be fair to you my post did suck as to explaining why and what I found so funny.

Some things gotta get done around here before nightfall. Maybe latter I’ll explain better.

I’m hearing the GoFundMe drive was deliberately stopped.

Something about a possible violation of the GFM terms of service not to fund hate groups. I can only hope.

If I publicly posted that I was a hateful ass, and got sent 800K by other hateful asses, I’d be laughing all the way to the bank.

Although I am most curious to see how this shakes out with the tax people.

It’s unlikely that this business has ever made $13,000 **NET** profit in a year.

It is easy. You only need a few things: 1) a bad haircut 2) a cheap suit 3) a cheesy set with a pulpit 4) time on public access television.

Oh, yeah… and a marrow deep amorality.

Two things:

One, I don’t think it’s reasonable to call them a hate group.

Two, that would still be hilarious. See if they can gin up the righteous rage again! RARR!

I am almost certain it won’t be taxed. These are gifts. Even if a few of them were over the [IRS limit of $14,000 for an untaxed gift](http://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2014/10/30/irs-raises-limit-on-tax-free-lifetime-gifts-for-2015/) (which I doubt), it would be the donor who was taxed, not the donee.

Flip on your TV tomorrow night and watch the run up to the NCAA championship game to see what Indy is like. I don’t think Shit Hole will be the type of comments they are making. The Superbowl we hosted is still listed as one of the top in fan satisfaction.

My little suburb (and several surrounding it) are regularly on the lists of Best Places to Live, Work, Retire, Raise a Family, etc. Bloomington is one of my favorite cities in the entire country.

Sure, we have a lot of rural backwater communities and I doubt you can find any state that doesn’t have towns that would be described as a shit hole.

Yeah, but it’s still flat, mostly treeless, and the Rust Belt to boot. At least the shithole towns in the more forested and mountainous areas have beautiful surroundings. Probably the same number of assholes, though, more or less. I live in a nice little city that’s surrounded by Appalachia. Go outside the city limits, and it’s really gorgeous, but kind of meth-y. And fire and brimstone-y, though not usually in the same people.

It is clear you have never been to Indiana… or if so to a very limited area. Do an image search on Brown County Indiana and tell me if you still think it is flat and treeless. The rust belt also only factors into the far northern part of the state.

That’s some legitimately lovely geography.

Kick out your lying shit bag bigot of a governor, and we can revisit the “shithole” designation,

I like the wind farm in northwest Indiana. Very scenic if you like modern windmills.

FTR, I donated. I fully support their decision.

(Not that I would do the same. I simply believe a private business should have the freedom to do business with whomever they want.)
