It's a sad thing, how interpretations go. :/
Like, Nowhere in the Christian Bible noted homosexuality as a sin--in quoting scripted verses, they oft miss out on what exactly is being done, and instead jump on the allegorical superficiality it represents, which then acts as a conclusion more often than not, due to lacking understanding.

Stupid social stigma causing all these problems.

The internet gave these guys over half a million dollars? For being bigoted and hating gays? Really?

Huh, you mean the internet actually did something good for once? Well, that's my mind blown.

I...um, think you're really misreading the context, Yoink. Or the wording. It was more something about this.
Which is what my post was referring to. A stand for faith..and... :-\

E: Wording is sloppy. What I meant is something going both ways--people who feel affected despite (seemingly?) no action being taken (though, it does affect as a trigger, the level of response is also into question...). Not that standing for faith is wrong, but how it proceeds and how it is taken...etc etc.
Though this wouldn't happen largely first, if there wasn't deep stigma in the first place (total misinterpretations do not judge who they attach to) :-\

EII: Colored for how I interpreted it and why I said its sloppy. I misread it. Then my wording messed up.

I want to go murdering people who eat shellfish. It's an abomination in the eyes of The Lord. You're perfectly bilblically justified to murder people who eat oysters, the sick f***s.

Wha? By what metric is that good?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

-Lol Leviticus-
Um... I'm not what you would call versed in the bible... or have read it.
But what was the whole 'Sodom and Gomorrah' thing about then?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I'm referring to the fundraiser. It raised an impressive sum of money to help a business under attack by SJWs... stay in business.
Generally I would expect 'the internet' to take the other side of the conflict. It's refreshing to see it is not always the case. :)

That's a pretty hefty endorsement for corporate socialism, there. Businesses should get bailed out when they make bad decisions?

It's not like it was the government that bailed them out. Even though they probably don't really deserve to still have a business it was just, you know, random people who decided their business should still exist.

Yeah...I don't really think you can argue that boycotts are legitimate but anti-boycotts aren't. If people want to bail out the pizzeria, let them. It's not taxpayer money, so who cares?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
