This is so ****ing stupid and off-base I can't even process it.

awesome. Good for him. Forgive and forget. Move on.


This is the power of the social slap on the wrist. :)

Yeah, a man complaining about a woman ragging on him is so 19th century.

I'm sorry, please fill in blanks with the way I should really think and feel. I've surely never seen them try destroy a comedians career because they don't agree with their humor, and can't change the ****ing channel. Words are words. This is not a hate crime.

I agree with you in that people can be a little righteously indignant when something "offends" them. That said, I think that society has the duty to slap people on the wrist when they have horrible ideas. Like if a local politician wants to institute a "touch the stove a lot" policy. Under this new law, anyone passing by a hot stove must touch it to prove their loyalty to the God of the Stairs, or pay a fine. With the money raised from the fines, we will build a homeless shelter.

Now, I think we would all be within our rights to call this man an idiot. Probably a good dude. I mean, he wants to build a homeless shelter, but his ideas are... Well, horrible.

Same thing with bigotry. No matter how good of a dude this guy might be, THIS particular thing he said was pretty outrageous and all too familiar, and probably lies dormant and undisclosed in the hearts and minds of many... By calling this man out, and embarrassing him, in fact slapping the label "bigot" on him for a bit, we can get all of those who harbor these idiotic ideas to rethink. And know just exactly where their less than social intuitions stand in the marketplace of ideas.

No, the response will be overblown, but it comes from a group of people who have to fight bigotry and prejudice every day. His right to be ignorant and rude is not equal to their right to fair treatment. I agree he shouldn't be branded for life or anything, but it is reasonable for people to protest when someone stands in front of a mic and degrades them.

Fair enough.

I'm intolerant to intolerance.

Yawn.

So you're a hypocrite. Which is even worse than being tolerant.

Round and round the assclowns go!

You're a ****ing reerun when it comes to race and social dynamics, but you've stumbled onto something here..

Blacks should be FAR more supportive of LBGT community and its fight for rights, yet it seems they are some of its staunchest critics. I never quite understood why; I'm thinking its largely a religious issue.

We're talking about different domains entirely. Here's an example:

A guy rapes and murders a little girl. We are justified if we are INTOLERANT of that action and as a society we have a duty to punish that man and give that little girl and her family justice.


There are just some things society should NOT tolerate. Bigotry is one of them.

I hate it when people retract what they said because of peer pressure.

I agree if it means someone is getting denied basic human rights. However everyone makes a big deal out of people saying bundle of sticks today. It's absurd. I mean bundle of sticks is even in a filter here. JFC.

one who sucks the penis about sums it up

Why shouldn't it be? Its could be a pretty derogatory term, maybe not to you, but to many homosexuals.

To me, your argument is no different than someone saying "I can't believe we can't go around saying ****er and person of Hispanic heritage! I've been saying it all my life and I don't wanna change. **** these intellectual pussies!".

LMAO "person of Hispanic heritage" HAHAHAHAHA

That's ****ing great, but you guys get my point
