hammerhead johnson Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Haha, something went horribly wrong when I was trying to preview a post.

EvilMonkey Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If I am piecing the stories together correctly, apparently at a meeting of the CBC about 6 months ago, Allen West brought in Chik-Fil-A for everyone. Then shortly after this all started, the CBC sent him a letter saying how they were all 'offended' that he would bring in that 'horrible food'. Allen West responded that if it was so horrible, why was there nothing left? (manufactured) OUTRAGE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Has any active athlete come out as being gay? Has anybody on this site come out as gay? Is it improper of me to ask? Society is still backward on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it improper of me to ask? Society is still backward on this issue. I don't know any active athlete in MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL who has come out. A former basketball player for the Jazz did. With the several thousand people in those leagues, numbers say that several dozen players across the leagues should be homosexual, on average. Yes, we have people on this site who are openly gay, and I will choose not to speak for them now since it really shouldn't be a big deal either way.

That to me is amazing no active athletes have come out as being gay. I wonder if their teammates know. If America was as advanced as we think ... all this outrage over CFA, you'd think ballplayers would casually admit to being gay. Why not?

None of my friends, co-workers have ever come out, so I was wondering if I "knew" anybody on here who was gay, that's all. I am for gay marriage but I still don't think it makes me a bad person saying I prefer the man/woman traditional model because without it we'd have no future society. The deaths would far outnumber the births if we only had same-sex activities going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_genius Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Obviously, people totally overreacted to this and they look like idiots for doing so. Some old man that started a chicken sandwich company says he is against gay marriage and people go bat s*** crazy. Some people can't deal with anything outside their own world view. They can't even tolerate hearing about a different view. They just go berserk and start 'banning' stuff.

Because "Guys hanging out in a locker room" is one of those places where old-fashioned hate can still get tossed around casually. Just think of the examples the Sox have had aired. The blow up doll incident, the "Getz is Gay" incident, and that's just one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disallowing same sex marriage not equal to ban? Perhaps people should look in the mirror, because even though I am against CFA I believe that they have every right to have a business, make money and have their ideals. Even though I disagree with them, I believe they deserve the same treatment as all other corporations. I do not believe that other companies should get tax breaks because they are for SSM, I dont believe there should be any advantage granted. Now compare that to the people who are against SSM. Do you think that they would sit down and agree with me that everyone should get treated equal, regardless of whether we disagree with them? That everyone in the US deserves equal treatment, regardless of whether they like girls or guys? Otherwise your statement is a joke, and we both know it.

Find 1 banning. CFA exists in Chicago, so dont say Chicago as there are ones here. 2) I have talked with SSM groups about it, and not one has ever said that CFA doesnt have the right to their opinion. 3) Not really, first I beat your argument soundly, then I concluded.

The mayor Chicago, Boston, SF, ect said they would ban CFA. so these idiots did indeed attempt to ban CFA, then their lawyers likely told them they would get pwned in court. people in power were trying to ban them. fact. 2) I have talked with SSM groups about it, and not one has ever said that CFA doesnt have the right to their opinion. i'm sure most SSM supporters believe in free speech and are reasonable people. my original post was not directed at them, but at these clown mayors and the like that pushed this whole thing into a new realm of stupidity. 3) Not really, first I beat your argument soundly, then I concluded.
