What an ********.

 

[KevanG]

What a jerk, how does someone being gay who happens to be in your vicinity have any affect on you whatsoever?

Obviously it will lower property values which will make the economy suffer which will mean loss of jobs which will make people poor. Because they are poor they'll be forced to move in together to save money and due to guys always trying to shack up with female roommates due to the entertainment industry making them think that happens more often than not all the people will be forced to room with their own gender. That will lead to more homosexual relationships happening which means less babies, less babies leads to the country falling behind in manpower and forcing more and more work to be exported to other countries, people will get poorer and shack up together and eventually everything will be outsourced to one guy who will do everyones work and that'll be fine until he takes a vacation, then the global economy collapses, no one can have kids due to everyone being in a homosexual relationship which will lead to the human race dying out due to depopulation.

That's why he did it. It's for us all really.

What a jerk, how does someone being gay who happens to be in your vicinity have any affect on you whatsoever?

Well the effects aren't well studied but it's referred to as Genital Incompatibility Bigitos Moronos (GIBM). You see when two perfectly happy and in love humans with incompatibile genitals get within ten feet of other people it causes one of two things to happen: either the people in the immediate vicinity recognize this love and act like sensible human beings...or the people feel a shock go up their spine and invade the God part of their brain which overrides all sensible and mature logic. This in turn causes them to behave in childish ways and in these cases those suffering from GIBM have been known to foam at the mouth, release a large amount of spittle, yell, and invoke deities. Physical violence may be encountered in the most extreme cases. This requires a good dose of logic and "shut the **** up" which can be administered in a number of ways all at the pleasure of any sensible by-stander.

Why do people always liken homosexuality to bestiality?

Also, homosexuality isn't a decision.

I feel like this is an act of some sort, but I'm not sure.

 

[Charlie Boy]

But what does one have to do with the other?

 

[Teelie]

So free speech and free public expression of one's beliefs is A-okay only for homosexuals and those that do not disagree with a homosexual's lifestyle?

The restaurant owner was merely sharing his beliefs in written form which was/is simply free speech. No harm no foul. The two homosexuals could have left the literature on the table, thrown it away on the way out, OR WRONGLY DENIGRATE THE RESTAURANT MANAGER PUBLICLY FOR EXERCISING HIS FREE SPEECH RIGHTS.

You know, exercising one's own free speech rights in order to infringe the free speech rights of another merely because one believes differently is inherently wrong. Sometimes I think most homosexuals are all decidedly histrionic and have skin thinner than a gnat's wing.

Grow up people! This is America, people have the right to disagree with your decisions. Yes, even those decision you make that involve your sexual activities might run contrariwise to another person's belief about sex. I personally believe people having sex with animals is wrong. I don't think it's fair to the animal. So instead of getting bent out of shape over how some people think or what they say, start getting a clue as you also disagree with other peoples' views and want the right to voice your opposition to them as well.

People also have the freedom to say they don't like what other people are spouting off, something the anti-homosexual group has enjoyed for centuries. Get over it.

 

[KevanG]

Would you feel the same way if it was an inter-racial couple and he gave them them same type of treatment? What if it was a white couple? Why should it be treated differently?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Sure, you have the right to tell anyone that you think they are ruining their lives and the lives of their families by being who they are but, you don't get to do so without consequences. You have to own the responsibility that what you say may piss someone off and that they are then within their rights to say how they feel about what you said. You can't spout hurtful things and then try to use the First Ammendment as a shield when the people you knowingly hurt respond in a way you don't like.

Bottom line, if you don't want any backlash for your opinions, keep them to yourself.

Spanish Village Called "Kill Jews" Thinking About Maybe Changing Name

A northern Spanish village will vote next week on whether or not to keep its current name "Castrillo Matajudios," which translates as "Castrillo Kill Jews." Hmmm. Tough call!

Castrillo Matajudios will convene its 60 resident families at a town hall meeting next week to vote on the proposal, which Mayor Lorenzo Rodriguez submitted. He has suggested that the name be changed to Castrillo Mota de Judios, meaning "Castrillo Jews' Hill," which is believed to be the village's original name before it was changed during the Spanish inquisition.

Mayor Rodríguez told local Spanish daily newspaper Diario de Burgos, via the Independent: "The majority decision will be respected, even if it is only by one vote."

"Matar Judios" is also the term used to describe the tradition of drinking lemonade spiked with alcohol at festivals held in the city square during Easter, which is an incredibly unfortunate name for something that sounds just delightful. The term is believed to come from medieval times when converted Jewish people were publicly executed around Easter in Spain. (Like drinking at a festival, you see.)

A spokesperson for the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain spoke with the Jerusalem Post about the expression:

"Regrettably, this type of expression exists in Spain in ceremonies and parties ... the people saying it are mostly unaware of the history. It is a complicated issue that is ingrained in local culture."
Last month, Ramon Benavides, the president of a local associations of hoteliers, told the news agency EFE, "When 'killing Jews,' it's best to take it slow and keep track of how much you drink to avoid excesses and its consequences the next day."

Huh. I'm starting to think that maybe they should change it?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-kill-jews-considers-name-change-9257279.html

So it got changed to that in the Spanish Inquisition and they only now decided MAYBE it would be a good idea to change the name.

Dutch Teen Arrested for Trolling American Airlines with Twitter Threat

The teenage girl who made a prank terrorism threat to American Airlines on Twitter over the weekend has reportedly been arrested at her home in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The Dutch 14-year-old, who goes by Sarah on Twitter, posted this obvious trolling attempt on Sunday:

American Airlines quickly responded that it had contacted the FBI and forwarded them Sarah's "IP address and details." It's unlikely that they could have obtained Sarah's IP so quickly—doing so would require cooperation from Twitter, which has been protective of users' identities in past trolling cases and usually asks to see a warrant.

Neither the FBI nor American Airlines was involved in the teen's arrest by Dutch police. She apparently turned herself in for making a false report after police identified her.

"We're not in a state that we can communicate any state of charges at this point. We just thought it was necessary to bring this out mostly because of the fact that it caused a great deal of interest on the Internet," a Dutch police spokesman told Business Insider.

"I wanted to be famous," the teen wrote on Twitter, "But I meant like Demi Lovato famous, not Osama bin Laden famous."

Court Orders Man to Hold "I AM A BULLY" Sign for Five Hours

Last week, a judge ordered an Ohio man who harassed his neighbor and her disabled children to stand on a street corner for five hours while holding a sign that says "I AM A BULLY!"

For the past 15 years, Edmond Aviv, 62, has fought over trivial matters with his neighbor, Sandra Prugh who has two disabled adult children and a husband with dementia. Over the course of the feud, Aviv repeatedly spit on Prugh, insulted her children, smeared feces on her son's car and wheelchair ramp, and called her an ethnic slur at least once. From CBS News:

The most recent case stems from Aviv being annoyed at the smell coming from Prugh's dryer vent when she did laundry, according to court records. In retaliation, Aviv hooked up kerosene to a fan, which blew the smell onto Pugh's property, the records said.

…

Prugh said in a letter to the court that Aviv had called her an ethnic slur while she was holding her adopted black children, spit on her several times, regularly threw dog feces on her son's car windshield and once smeared feces on the family's wheelchair ramp.

"I am very concerned for the safety of our family," Prugh wrote in a letter to the court for Aviv's sentencing. She told the newspaper she just wants to live in peace.
Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers found Aviv guilty of a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and ordered him to hold the sign, which reads: "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in."

Aviv was also sentenced to 15 days in jail and ordered to attend anger management classes.

Aviv carried out the sign part of the sentence on Sunday, sitting beside a busy road in South Euclid, Ohio. Dozens of motorists honked and several stopped to take pictures with the 62-year-old. As you might expect, Aviv wasn't thrilled with the punishment.

"The judge destroyed me," Aviv told the Northeast Ohio Media Group. "This isn't fair at all."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/i-am-a-bully-sign-is-judge-ordered-sentence-for-ohios-edmond-aviv/

As far as I'm concerned this waste of human space got off far too easy, I doubt he will stop messing with that family because of this

Crazy Armed Whiteys Successfully Defend Cows' Constitutional Rights

Bloodshed was averted and a bunch of freedom-loving, gut-hanging-over-the-brass-belt-buckle, self-styled militia men declared victory Monday in a major armed standoff with federal and local officials over one bubba's right to graze his cattle on taxpayer land in Nevada.

The bizarre Woodstock for amateur minutemen and pistol-packin' cowpokes almost ended in a shootout this weekend after the Oathkeepers—a bunch of militant patriots so dedicated to America that they stand ready to destroy this country in order to save it—gathered in support of an irascible old straw-hatted rancher named Cliven Bundy, and in search of the new civil war they've long been praying for.

For more than 20 years, Bundy reportedly has grazed his thousands of cattle on federal lands maintained by the Bureau of Land Management, disregarding rules set up for endangered species on the land and refusing to pay grazing fees. Bundy maintains that the land, which has been in his family since the 1880s, is sovereign and unbound by gol'durn federal regulations. He owes millions in grazing fees and court fines.

But when BLM officials came out with rangers to seize Bundy's cattle over the weekend, his dispute with the gub'mint became a rallying cry for angry white dudes in search of the next Ruby Ridge or Waco to rally 'round—angry white dudes like this guy in a flannel shirt and trucker cap who came all the way from Idaho not to demonstrate, but to lay down a sniper's position on municipal authorities from a highway overpass.

The tensest part of the standoff began Saturday, with Bundy and his ralliers peppering the otherwise incredibly patient-looking local sheriff with bat**** demands, a tour de force performance recorded in the video above.

"Disarm the Park Service," Bundy began, to shouts and hollers:

Take your county equipment and tear down [the walls blocking grazing lands] this morning. You disarm those Park Service people. You take a pickup and all of those arms…we want all of those arms put in that compound today! We want those arms delivered right here under these flags in one hour!…

If they're not done, then we'll decide what we're gonna do from this point on!
What followed was a bunch of twits playing cavalry on horseback, displaying their hatred for federal oppression by carrying the flags of the four armed service branches; twits wearing tactical camouflage and guarding Bundy in formation; and twits on foot in the desert, blocking I-15 with their bodies and cars, wielding Gadsden flags and American flags and OBAMA NO MORE WACOS signs.

This was as Bundy apparently intended. After his one-hour deadline passed, he told the crowd to block the interstate and display its mettle beneath an overpass where his cows were penned. "We're gonna go and take our land back and declare freedom and liberty here in this land," he said. "Is God gonna be with us?"

Around 7:30 in the video above—just after a loose-mouthed women in a DON'T TREAD ON ME T-shirt explains why it's fine with her that some militia-types brought their children to participate in the confrontation with law enforcement—you can see Inner America's id brought to the brink of clash: a screaming, inchoate mass of men with guns and horses and misty memories of watching The Postman on TNT, converging on a single calm, collected police officer who looks like a special forces soldier emerging from the Hindu Kush with the Northern Alliance.

"[N]either side said they anticipated protesters to march toward the corral," the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. But freedom is messy, and often violently provocative and stupid.

Fortunately, law enforcement officials weren't. They wisely gave up and let the goddamn cattle graze on the goddamn land, rather than starting a massacre, which is what it would have been, because idiots who can't spell (Bundy's son wore a T-shirt that read "WE SUPPORT THE BUNDY'S") probably can't lay down suppressive fire and maneuver with discipline, either:

Eventually, Chief Deputy Tom Roberts of the Las Vegas Metro Police met with Ammon Bundy at the barricade, where Roberts communicated to Bundy that the BLM had agreed to release the cattle and to immediately vacate the area in order to avoid violence.

Several hours later, approximately 500 cattle were released to the Bundy family. Ammon Bundy said the BLM has agreed to allow his family to continue grazing in the disputed area. BLM officials could not be reached for comment at the time of this report, and it is unclear whether sanctions or criminal charges will be filed against members of the Bundy family or the other protesters.
And so it was over, much as it began. Who won? The protesters obviously believe they struck a blow for freedom and justice and old farts who want to let their cows **** wherever they please. It's probably a victory for law enforcement, too, who managed the situation without Alex Jones taking a potshot at them and without using deadly force in return.

But mostly it's a victory for those of you who are reading this, without moving your lips, someplace where wi-fi runs fast and strong: Maybe, just maybe, these moronic armed brutes will be satisfied with the acres of nothing they just fought over in Nevada, and we on the civilized, productive edges of this thing called America—which they love but little understand—will never have to meet them, or duck out of the way of their terrible aim.

Shooting them would have only solidified the anti-government paranoia that "they're out to get them" and the government is an oppressive regime determined to take away their rights.

Of course this is also being played as some kind of "victory" for them too which might embolden them to press harder but it's better to disarm them than kill them figuratively and literally if it comes to that in the long run.

The kids are I could cynically say were used as a shield against any attempt to use more aggressive means to end the stand off.

Lukewarm Neil Diamond Fan Drops $4,300 on His Greatest Hits Album

While abroad in South Africa, Katie Bryan thought she could get away with downloading a Neil Diamond album on her phone while also staying under her roaming bandwidth. Not so!, says her cell phone provider and monster Neil Diamond haters, Orange. Bryan was hit with a £2600 charge and she doesn't even like him that much.

In fact, as Katie Bryan told The Telegraph,

"It wasn't a particular song that I wanted to hear. I'm really not that big a Neil Diamond fan. And I'd already got his Essential Neil Diamond CD at home, in my car."
Katie, why! Know your usage limits, Katie! You are not a diamond in the cell phone provider's eyes! You are just a cog in the wheel! The purchase—and the charges—didn't make Katie feel so good, so good. They made her feel so bad, so bad.

Orange ended up knocking off a considerable chunk of the owed money, lowering her payment down to £400. But surely, this will leave a bad taste in the maths* teacher's mouth—not only toward her cell phone provider, but to to Neil "Jewish Elvis" Diamond, too.

"It is morally wrong to be expected to pay this sort of money for a Neil Diamond album."
Boston, prepare your fleet for battle.

Why would anyone want to download stuff while in a foreign country? Unless you have one heck of a cell phone plan even if you did it legally of course your going to get hit

Testicle-Squeezing Prank Leaves Teenager in a Coma

An Irish teen is in a coma after suffering a suspected heart attack when another boy gave him a vigorous ball-squeeze as a lunchtime prank.

The 17-year-old fifth-year student was joking around with some friends on the way back from lunch when another boy suddenly "jerked his scrotum," the Irish Mirror reports.

A teacher and another student performed CPR on the victim before emergency medical services arrived. The injured boy was transported to an intensive care ward, where he was listed as in stable condition Friday night.

Gardai—the Irish police—have launched an investigation into the ball-squeezing incident, although witnesses say it was not malicious. The area was initially cordoned off as police treated the case as an assault.

Science Teacher Suspended for Teaching Science

A science teacher has been suspended from his job at a Los Angeles high school for helping two students with science projects that the school district considers "imitation weapons."

Greg Schiller, 43, who teaches Advanced Placement biology and psychology at the Cortines School of Visual & Performing Arts, was investigated by the L.A. Unified School District in February after a school employee thought two of the Science Fair projects he was overseeing were dangerous.

One used compressed air to fire a small projectile—but it wasn't hooked up to a source of air pressure, so it couldn't have fired. The other was a research project into how a coil gun—basically a tube charged by a power source until it expels a projectile—works. Schiller asked for additional graphs and analysis on that one.

Neither of the completed projects was built at school. Schiller had just followed their progress in photos. Both projects have been confiscated as evidence, according to the mother of the ninth grader who was researching powered coils.

Now Schiller is suspended, which has led to all sorts of consequences around the school: The fencing team he coached has been banned from competing without him, his psychology class is being taught by an inexperienced sub (and the school won't let him provide lesson plans), and he's been unable to participate in labor negotiations as a teachers' union rep.

"As far as we can tell, he's being punished for teaching science," Warren Fletcher, president of United Teachers Los Angeles, told the L.A. Times.

Students and parents have started a Facebook group in support of Schiller, and they held a rally at the school last week to call for his reinstatement.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-teacher-suspended-20140409,0,1851167.story#ixzz2yxhIt3P4

So we have an all around good guy teacher that appears to go above and beyond for his students and fellow teachers and they suspend him for helping kids who want to learn. Great job guys, really...

Man Sentenced to 18 Months in State Prison for Peeing on the Alamo

The state of Texas might take its history a little too seriously: On Monday, a Texas man was sentenced to 18 months in state prison for pissing on the Alamo.

As reported in The Smoking Gun, an Alamo Ranger found 23-year-old Daniel Athens standing in a "chained off area [of the Alamo] not open to the public" in April 2012. A clearly drunk Athens made "the motions of putting his penis back in his pants"; later, "a puddle on the original mortar of the Shrine" was spotted near where Athens had been standing.

Athens pleaded guilty to a criminal mischief charge in February; in doing so, he avoided the maximum sentence of two years in custody, though he's ineligible for parole and will serve the full 18-month sentence. He was also ordered to pay $4,000 in restitution.

Urinating on the Alamo is a serious offense, in part because of the building's limestone base. From the Smoking Gun:

Urinating on the 250-year-old "Shrine of Texas Liberty" can cause damage to the landmark since the Alamo's "limestone absorbs the salt and then pushes the salt out. When the salt gets pushed out so does the face of the limestone and through this process the urine contributes to the eroding of the limestone," police reported.

Texting Driver Who Hit Bicyclist: "I Just Don't Care"

A texting motorist who slammed into a bicyclist and injured his spine told police she had some regrets—about the dents in her car.

According to phone records, 21-year-old Kimberley Davis was texting with seven different phone numbers as she drove her vehicle through Koroit, a small town in western Victoria, Australia. According to local police, she used her phone behind the wheel as many as 44 times during the trip.

Around 7:20 pm, she struck a bicyclist from behind, apparently failing to see the warning lights that he had placed on the front and back of his bike. Although she called emergency responders, the cyclist said she refused to render him assistance and left him lying on the side of the road.

According to the Standard, she also had some choice statements for responding police.

"I just don't care because I've already been through a lot of ******** and my car is like pretty expensive and now I have to fix it."

"I'm kind of pissed off that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I don't agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn't on my phone when I hit the cyclist."
Davis was fined $4,500 and lost her license for nine months. In addition to some minor injuries, the cyclist suffered a spinal fracture requiring surgery and the use of a spinal cage.
