A man is watching TV when he sees a disaster on TV that makes him go up stairs and turn the light on and then hang himself. What is his problem and why does he kill himself?

He sees someone looking like his wife becoming a born again Christian, can't really believe it, goes upstairs, finds a letter from her about it, doesn't want to be known as 'the husband of a moronic freak', and kills himself.

You should be put on vacation for that kind of crap. Replace Born Again Christian with black and you would be put on a permanant vacation. I'm pretty tolorant, but that is unacceptable.

Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. If he thinks Born Again Christians are "Moronic Freaks" that's his perogative. You don't have to agree with him, in fact instead of whining just ignore him. I bet if you did nobody would have paid attention to his post in the first place.

yes

I could say replace "stick" with "dvck" in the book "This Old Man".

This old man, he played 6. He played knick-knack on my dvck.

Is this what that "Replace born again Christian with black" comment is trying to show? Cuz frankly, you're putting words in his mouth.

...

Are you joking?

In your example, Stick is not offensive. His original post is HIGHLY offensive. My post was showing how offensive it is. If a comment, like his, were made with reference to blacks, or any other group, that kind of a post would not be tolorated. Yet, somehow, calling a person a moronic freak for being married to a christian is ok. Is it ok to call someone a moronic freak for being married to a black person? Of course not, the mods would be on that like mad. Yet it seems to be ok to call someone a moronic freak for being married to a christian. Add on top of that killing themselves for being married to a christian...

Actually if you read the post correctly you would have noticed the born again christian was the one being called the moronic freak, as stated later on in the thread being a Christian is a choice (a moronic one imo too but thats beside the point everybody is entitled to their opinion right or wrong) being black is not, so you're comparing apples to oranges and somehow coming up with bananas.

And don't bother flaming me, you believe in god, I don't neither of us is going to change the others mind so don't even bother trying it's a waste of effort that could be put to better use.

Well then, let's replace it with gay instead of black. Don't bother quoting me sources stating that it is not a choice since I can just easily quote sources that say otherwise.

No, many many many gays do not choose to be gay.

First, learn to edit your quotes.
Second, learn to include multiple thoughts in one post.
