Skrooh you, Nike!

Emphasis added.

Quick interruption here. A phobia can be a fear of - or aversion to - something. Hydrophobia, for example, is so called because rabid animals display a strong aversion to drinking water. Similarly, homophobia was coined to connote an aversion to the practice of homosexuality.

Ignorance fought. Now, the_diego, go forward as a wiser man.

Not just homophobic: racist, too!

Someone’s feeling optimistic today!

Weird, I thought he was Filipino…

There was this little nugget from the OP as well:

What? Mr Crab is sterotypically Jewish? I never thought of Mr Crab as Jewish. Am I just oblivious? Is this a conclusion a non-bigoted person could come to?

Jew-like typing detected.

Seat stabbing? Can someone share?

Yeah, the weekly who pays for drinks thing. That’s why I need the link to the “seat stabbing”.

OP - could you also explain the love for Lance Armstrong, Mr. Cheater McCheater pants, and Oscar Pistorius, the convicted killer? Is it the glossy lure of sports, which hides all sins?

Forgot to say, I’m stealing this. Pure genius.

Seat stabbing.

And what is “Nike” and how do you pronounce it?

I seriously hope this guy isn’t for real. I imagine his time on the board will be short lived.

It was nice of him to pit himself though. I would have had no idea of his existence or how much of an ass he was without this thread bringing it to my attention.

He’s been here since mid-2012.

Buford’s Gang Member #2: Hey, take a gander at them moccasins! What kinda skins is them? What’s that writin’ mean?
Buford’s Gang Member #1: “Nee-kay”? What is that, some sorta Injun talk or somethin’?

:eek:

We have us a real piece of work in our midst… or a piece of something. Looks like homophobia isn’t the half of it. :eek:

Yeah, you can say that again. :eek:

Racist, homophobe, a little of the psychopath thrown in, illegal carry, all walking in the light of this world. I assure you gentlemen, I’m more normal that most people you meet. Thanks for the pit. :smiley:

Umm, go ahead and tell yourself that? Who knows, maybe someday it’ll come true.

(And not every poster in here is male. Assuming you care.)

You’ve earned every bit of it. :slight_smile:

I don’t think not endorsing a bigoted viewpoint is the same as destroying bigots.

For example, if Chik-fil-A reversed its position and decided to stop funding hate groups, I think bigots would still eat at Chik-fil-A. They wouldn’t be destroyed, they’d still be able to enjoy Chik-fil-A’s delicious yet supremacist-supporting food.

Not endorsing a viewpoint that a certain class of people are biological mistakes (or evil/sinful, take your pick… whichever is the current excuse for mistreating them) is not the same as destroying people who hold such a viewpoint.

I don’t see the hypocrisy here.

While endorsing such a viewpoint will indeed turn off persons who don’t subscribe to such a worldview.

As for the bigots themselves- if they want to throw away all their Nike’s because Nike doesn’t support gay bashing, I couldn’t begin to care. There will come a day when there won’t be a shoe seller or other retailer willing to endorse their viewpoint outside of Saudi Arabia.

It’s why it’s so amusing to me that they hate fundy Muslims so much. I mean, they’re practically identical.
