QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) The cost is time, which is worth far more than 0$. And it did nothing. Occupy Wall Street was and is a complete failure. lol that's just not true at all.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) *Some* protest has caused social change, not all. Occupy Wall Street did nothing of the sort. I don't recall saying "all"... but there wont be the "some" without the "all. I love when you make up something that someone else said and then respond as if that fabrication were anywhere in the original post.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) By doing what, occupying wall street? if necessary. you realize protest has actually caused a TON of social change over the years right? you may remember what happened in the 60s?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 07:38 AM) No it wasn't. But now that fits YOUR agenda... so okay. Now it is. our agenda just happens to be equal rights for all americans. guess that's absent on your agenda.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 11:28 PM) I think you meant to quote his post. ah crap. my bad.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:21 PM) Not sure what you're saying... I've believed that for years now Gay marriage is tossed out there a couple of months before every election and people haven't caught on. This particular argument is about absolutely nothing (unless you are taking the position that by giving CFA money, you're contributing to their causes, but that's a slippery slope, why buy anything from anyone you ever disagree with on anything?). Or you could take the position that you're not cool with companies telling people what they should be thinking, but by and large that's not what this debate is about either. We've got a general election for president coming up and dozens of topics that should be in the spotlight but this has been the dominant item for 2 weeks. "They" are aware of that too and they will continue to keep coming up with ever-more-creative ways to steal our money. i... was... responding to kap...

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Yeah, you just want the world to think like you and you hate on all that don't. No probs. i dont hate people who don't think like i do. i hate people who choose to be ignorant in spite of having the actual facts staring them in the face. i hate people who think facts are "opinions". i hate people who are bigots. i hate people who ignore logic. and I apologize if I don't respond in novels like some posters on this board. I've got more important things to do.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Soxbadger replied with facts and some things to try and support his argument. You replied with wanting to raise awareness. I respect his arguments here, yours, not so much. that's fine, i don't want your respect, since it would diminish the word.

Alpha just doesn't know what the f*** he's talking about. let him be ignorant. he doesn't WANT not to be. Nothing you can do.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:47 PM) You want to arrest someone for thought. THAT is sick. premeditated murder. /end discussion. you lose.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Are you really against raising awareness about racism?! yes he is. pretty sick, huh?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) And who did it hurt? And what, exactly, was the consequence? Please. Go ahead, knock your socks off talking about an OPINION. I think it backfired just a bit from what everyone on the "I support gays" intended. It's shameful as hell that people can't state that gay marriage is biblically immoral, or on the other side that gay marriage should be legal. The CFA debacle is stupid, not the issue. (sans Obama, who is just a money whore and doesn't know what he really believes unless a poll or money donors tell him what to believe, but that's another story). did you just describe Mitt Romney? dude you have no leg to stand on in this one, and you just sound ridiculous.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) I really dont know where you are going with this. it's ok, he doesn't either. he's just flaming for flaming's sake.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) So you are punishing bad thought. Great. you realize hate crimes have existed for a long time now... it's like you're just learning they're a thing.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) And charging someone with a hate crime does WHAT!? Besides making you feel good. draw AWARENESS to it as a NATIONAL ISSUE. you're just ... wow.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 07:48 PM) The reactions is what is stupid, not the issue of minority rights. This guy said no more then what gets said every day in different contexts all over the place ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE... yet... it's a hill to die on and everyone "supporting" their supposed beliefs make a huge issue out of someone's OPINION. if you're in the public eye like he is, you have to be ready for the consequences of the things you say. not that ridiculous.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) I can't believe this. i know. it's like this country took a 50 year jump back in time the last year or so

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) So why is a hate crime any worse than a regular one? Again, are they more dead because he called them racial names when he shot them? He is allowed to hate them, he isn't allowed to kill them. You can't lock people up for thier thoughts, or you might as well put the big screen in your apartment for big brother to watch over you right now. if it's racially/ethnically charged that means there's something WRONG in our national dialogue. hate crimes come from LEARNED beliefs. they had to learn them from somewhere.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 05:41 PM) Every time something bad happens to a gay guy, or a Muslum, or whoever, it isn't always because they are gay, or Muslim. Sometimes they are just assholes, or sometimes just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Seriously, what does the addition of hate crimes add to anything? sometimes i doubt whether or not you're a human being.

Kap - I'm so glad you've finally come around and you fully support the rights of gays to marry. That's really big of you to realize you held an ignorant opinion, and to change it.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Sure you can! Make it a hate crime! yep, go ahead and trivialize hate crimes. hope you feel good about yourself!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Bulls***, Rmoney (or whoever has an ® behind their name) would be defined negatively and the Obama campaign is in control of the narrative no matter what because the media is so f***ing in the tank for RockStarObama it does't matter. Oh... nevermind, they are just reporting "news". GMAFB. credibility? hello, credibility? where are you? man i can't find your credibility anywhere anymore. bummer... he was really such a nice lil credibility. this post is as ridiculous as most of mine.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) What happened in here? lol shack asked about Shakeology and Y2HH decided to jump into the fray and cause a ruckus.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) Yeah, that is really the worst thing they can do to someone. Everyone has to find what works for them and what they can stick with over the long-term. agreed
