posts like this should be bannable. it is the very worst form of low-content posting. even posting a fucking single emote that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed is both more relevant and more intellectually taxing than posting that stupid little icon that says, "i am either too lazy or too stupid to add my opinion to an issue, and would deeply prefer it if all issues in the world were simple binary choices, so i wouldn't have to inconvenience myself by thinking so hard". the real world is full of choices and almost none of them are binary. wake the fuck up.

a lot of stupid posts in this thread. let me explain a few things to you clowns:

a) you can support gay rights or you can support chick-fil-a. they are mutually exclusive actions. you cannot pretend like you give a shit about gay rights and then go throw money at people who will pass a good percentage of the money you gave them to groups who not only dislike gay rights, but take every action in their ability to erode or prevent them. you are not just 'buying a meal', you are supporting bigotry.

b) anyone who invokes free speech here is a fucking idiot. free speech is exactly that, it doesn't cover paying off activists and lobby groups to influence policymaking in your favour, you fucking retards.

c) just because a company employs gay workers, or allows gay customers to purchase from them, it does not even begin to absolve their actions. you are fucking stupid if you even begin to disagree on this point, and should probably smash your head into something until you find yourself able to think rationally, like a proper human being. history is full of instances where people have co-opted their targets into working for them to work against themselves, and i mean full of them.

if you support chick-fil-a by buying products from them, your money is then being used not only to make bigots' lives more comfortable, but also to actively sabotage the rights of gay people you're all scrambling over yourselves to appear cool with. end of story. you cannot detach the two, no matter how hard you try. you are essentially proving through your actions that the rights of your fellow man are less valuable to you than fucking fast food chicken you could cook yourself if you weren't such a lazy slob. congratulations on being awful!

p.s. anyone who says marriage is/should be a union between one man and one woman, you are empirically wrong, marriage has meant a lot of things over the years and it is only within the most miniscule fraction of recent human history that homosexuality has been looked down upon, or marriage has been monogamous. you are also saying you value that specific definition of marriage over the thousands of others, including those which have been around thousands of years longer than christianity as a whole, let alone whatever denomination you follow. you, too, are horrible people. congrats.

Because dealing with a dictator the US put into power out of our governments own interests, a dictator that was doing oppressing the hell out of the possibility of a decent future for a great many of those people, was not worth a war?

Solution:
DON'T FUCKING PUT THE DICTATORS IN POWER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, they're just waiting at the sidelines to stab you in the back later on.

holy shit can we just enable rep for ross so I can put so much green up his tight butt right the fuck now

holy shit, i didn't know idiots could type such long posts

having a debate between people like you or selentic is like talking to a piece of concrete, i have also given my opinion multiple times in the past. the only person that seems to care the most here about this topic is pretty much you or sel.

you should also realize that some people here are not gay whatsoever, and actually dont give a shit about the issue, simply becuase it does not affect them. i dont have a problem with gay people, like said before, but a company should be able to do whatever the hell they want with money they have earned from people who have bought their product, and not have to be told what to with it from liberal, socialist scum.

the fact that you state your opinion as a fact also makes you look even more like an idiot, especially after you ask for my opinion again and have neglected actually either:

a. looked at my posts previously

b. saw them, glanced at them, but not actally read them

c. cant understand simple things people say

lastly, you go on to say that people who believe in marriage being between one man and one woman is completley wrong, which is another opinion from you (not a fact... i dont know if you'll be able to understand that though). you do realize right, that some people like the traditional form of marriage, and want to have nothing to with marriage/sexual relationships with the same sex, and that they would also like to have children naturally.

furthermore while said dictator was clearly an awful person, the justifications for ousting them were all bogus. every single last one. there was not a single valid reason to go in besides "dudes are being oppressed by an evil overlord", in which case the un would've been wise to turn around and say, "so impeach him then"

arriage being between one man and one woman is completley wrong, which is another opinion from you (not a fact... i dont know if you'll be able to understand that though). you do realize right, that some people like the traditional form of marriage, and want to have nothing to with marriage/sexual relationships with the same sex, and that they would also like to have children naturally.

Whose form of tradition?
Christian tradition is a relatively new one.
Monogamy is a fairly recent thing, in some places polygamy still rules the roost and some cultures don't even have that, they mate with who ever and not worry about mutually intimate relationships.
Also just because someone believes in a man who could walk on water does not mean that is true.
I want to believe the tooth fairy comes in my room every night so I could check her orals but that doesn't mean she exists.

Protip: just because someone's opinion says something is true doesn't mean it actually is.

Whose form of tradition?

the human races?

dosent have to be marriage, but the simple fact with one man and one woman is the only reason you and i are standing here today.

holy shit, i didn't know idiots could type such long posts

sorry, i didn't realise it was difficult for you to read more than five lines, though this certainly explains why you insist on bring a stupid fad centred around dumbing down worldviews into two words to a forum where it doesn't belong

having a debate between people like you or selentic is like talking to a piece of concrete, i have also given my opinion multiple times in the past. the only person that seems to care the most here about this topic is pretty much you or sel.

then either give it again or don't post, there is literally no excuse for low-content 'like' shitposting

you should also realize that some people here are not gay whatsoever, and actually dont give a shit about the issue, simply becuase it does not affect them.

the same kinds of people who historically say 'not my problem' during ethnic cleansing and genocide. truly a really wonderful subset of humanity.

i dont have a problem with gay people, like said before

well clearly you aren't willing to back up that claim with actions instead of hollow words on an online forum, so i seriously doubt the veracity of your claim

but a company should be able to do whatever the hell they want with money they have earned from people who have bought their product

well shit, why not! let's allow companies to use their profits to fund groups that actively encourage abhorrent violations of others' rights, including murder, based entirely on something they can't control! holy shit i cannot believe people in the 21st century actually still think like this

and not have to be told what to with it from liberal, socialist scum.

ah yes, filthy liberal socialists, truly a blight upon the earth. they should all be shot and their corpses thrown into the sea. tell me more about being a sociopathic bigot

the fact that you state your opinion as a fact also makes you look even more like an idiot

hmmm, except the part where everything i said is demonstrably true, and i have yet to see you or anyone else prove otherwise rather than make ad-hominem attacks and parrot whatever dumb bullshit your buddy glenn beck has been shitting out of his mouth recently

especially after you ask for my opinion again

i'm simply pointing out how fucking stupid this 'like/dislike' binary choice bullshit is, how stupid it is to use it on a forum where the whole fucking medium of communication is based upon expanded text rather than a single icon, and how incredibly arrogant it is to think it can ever take the place of even a quick post about why you agree

lastly, you go on to say that people who believe in marriage being between one man and one woman is completley wrong, which is another opinion from you (not a fact... i dont know if you'll be able to understand that though).

the christian definition of marriage is a relative newcomer to the table, as is the stupid fear of homosexuality that has cropped up around the same time. to claim there is a 'correct' definition of marriage is wrong, ignorant, and extremely selfish. consider actually parsing what i've written rather than flying off the handle to defend arbitrary, meaningless bullshit.

now here comes the opinion part: i think marriage is a pointless institution only worth what is put into it. it is nobody's business to say what it entails as a general thing, only what they want it to be for them. i personally do not need to go through archaic and expensive traditional ceremonies, legally binding contracts, and financially binding ones as well just to prove that i love someone. if you do, fine, but anyone who gets married simply because of social pressure is a moron and is setting themselves up for failure.

marriage has no inherent worth at all and trying to 'defend' some outdated and extremely narrow perception of what it is amounts to nothing other than bigotry. i'd love to see you argue against that, since you seem to think that dictating to others what they can and can't define something that is personal between them to be is even okay, let alone 'not an awfully shitty thing to do'.

you do realize right, that some people like this, and want to have nothing to with marriage/sexual relationships with the same sex, and that they would also like to have children naturally.

except by supporting a company that supports anti-gay groups, you are willingly involving yourself on at least some level. you cannot just 'have nothing to do with it' you fucking dolt.

the human races?

dosent have to be marriage, but the simple fact with one man and one woman is the only reason you and i are standing here today.

this just in: according to higuy, the thousands of definitions of marriage that have been around since before judeo-christian religion, let alone modern christianity, don't exist

e/ second para was based on me missing the beginning of the sentence, but it is still an incredibly stupid, irrelevant point and has no place in this argument?
