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.
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?
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?
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.
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’?
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.
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.
