so no...

SRAM
Shimano
Magura
Hayes
Avid
Specialized
Marin
Fox
Turner
Ironhorse
Giant
Easton .............

I'm just sayin.....

A decade ago I learned about the mistreatment of Vietnamese workers at Nike factories. For a basketball player, that's like learning SRAM mistreats their workers.

I haven't bought another product of theirs since then, although I hear Nike is still in business.

The whole purpose of this thread was to get others to pay attention. This chain of boycotts can on and on, but I want others to at least make a conscious decision about where they will spend their money, not blissfully support a company which opposes their own beliefs.

I wonder who is on the list of donors to the " no on prop 8 " ?

Apple had a message right on their website against prop 8.

Why do we need gay marriage?

I live in SF Jr. and the rainbow flags are everywhere. Put your junk in all the poopholes ya want, but why flaunt it? Do I need a big vagina flag for my bike?

I am a liberal, but I am a Christian first.

Oh, and why did Apple change their logo if they're all about the gayness?

 

[DirtyDog]

Why do you decide what other people need? Live and let live.

How exactly does it affect your life if they get married? Please provide specific examples.

 

[stinkyboy]

Which I do, but I think certain values should be adhered to.

I also believe that being gay is a choice and I know several homosexuals that believe the same thing. Usually starts with the weird uncle...

Beastiality, S&M, Two girls and a cup, etc. are all choices as well.

 

[jerseydirt]

Don't bring apple into this what did they do to you? Beside you cant stop someone from doing what they want, what if weed was the new gay. People would still smoke it, nothing is really going to stop them even though its illegal. People will do whatever they want regardless of what you think nor do they care because its what they want.

Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sorry, make believe stories about the destruction of towns hundreds of years ago don't count as affecting your life.

In other words, you have no good reason, and just prefer to be a bigot and believe somehow that you are entitled to more civil rights than another human being.

 

[stinkyboy]

Yea, like my sister the heroin addict for the past 10 years. That's a lot of fun, and no one should tell her what to do!

You're a moron. STFU.

[Austin Bike]

The thing that makes me laugh my ass off is people that say "gay marriage threatens traditional marriages."

Yeah, right.

If you want to protect "traditional marriage" then I have an excellent suggestion: OUTLAW DIVORCE. Divorce is a much bigger threat to marriage. Without divorce, all marriages would remain in the sanctity of god. Right? Oh, and while we are at it, lets outlaw pre-marital sex.

Then you need to go down your list of conservative mouthpieces and see how many of them have had divorces.

Isn't it just easier to give everyone the same rights?

Sadly, I have to quote Puff Diddy Whatever to Bill Maher: "One day you'll believe."

I don't recall saying let people do terrible things, I just said people are going to do what they want regardless if its the right thing to do or not., I never said you should let them do whatever they want. But for instance gay marriage is really none of your business, its marriage, its up to them to do whatever freaky sh!t they want to do.

 

[Transcend]

Of course, but the bigots will fight tooth and nail just due to their desperation to somehow feel superior. They have some very serious self-entitlement issues, despite a large percentage of them breaking one or more of the 10 commandments daily.

Remember, do as they say, not as they do.

Who said that?

gay marriage threatens traditional marriages

It's a no brainer to google that phrase and get all sort of interesting stuff from Harvard law review analysis and other places...

I like this quote myself,
"The biggest threat to marriage isn't same-sex couples; it's divorce"

Whoa, you mean you like the truth more than some made up catch phrase? :biggrin:

You're too crazy to be on the internets, what with all this common sense and stuff.

Personally, I'd like to know what happenned to the quote below. You know, since gay marriage is so un-American that all of a sudden not everyone is entitled to the same rights. Bigots are amazing sometimes.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Faith in a higher power has helped my through many, many tough times.

Obviously, I am not without sin, but I think it's very important to try to keep myself in check as I am not the center of the universe.

The hypocrisy of many organized religions is sad, and makes it easy for many to look down their noses at religion in general, but I know there will come a day that I will stand, and have to answer for my choices in life.

See, now I have no problem with any of that. You are free to believe in ANYTHING you want, absolutely anything. If it helps you get along in life, that's great and more power to you.

When your beliefs start to infringe on the rights of others, taking away liberties that you yourself enjoy, there is a massive problem.

He introduced an argument, and then rallied against it. Made no sense to me, as no one here spoke on that nonsense.

I have an awful lot I may or may not say on the subject, considering that both of my parents were miserable closeted gays. Don't ask how I got born, sometimes I wonder. If being gay had been a choice for them they most certainly would not have been the miserable messes they were, if they'd had the chance to live a congruent life ( where the inside matches the outside).

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

It always amazes me how so many individuals hide their insecurities behind religious principles.

The " effect " gay marriage has on non-gays is simply fear. It makes a lot of straight people uncomfortable and that can cause them to do some strange things, like meddling in someone else's affairs.

I'm tired, and don't want to publicize my beliefs anymore tonight.

Yes but I have to say I'm surprised that the guy who rabidly defended the dumbass internet pot grower from getting e-busted by Manimal would turn out to be anti-gay marriage.

All right, I'm back.

Tell me how I'm insecure in my faith?

I left my keys at the office, paid $65 to a locksmith for 14 seconds of "work", but working on a bottle of Bacardi, and hopefully some Cush if I can get out of this thread...

All right, I'm back.

Hmmm, odd that you assumed that was aimed at you.

And to clarify, I was referring to personal insecurities not insecurities in one's faith.
