Gay marriage salt thread

Can you not make this more negative than it needs to be?

Goddamn.

I'm just pointing out that the two halves of this forum can be shockingly different when it comes to things like politics, which is easy to forget if you primarily stick to one side of the forum, as I do.

There are a lot more people like drt on this forum than most of us would think, but I think most of those hyper-conservative folk at least have the good sense to stick primarily to the gaming-side.
 
Wow, don't care about the ruling but this thread is like a bunch of 8 year olds pointing fingers going NA NA NA NAAAA NAAAAA

Grow up a little. People got what they wanted. Why then antagonize other people about it?

You obviously care.

And no. The LGBT community deserves to have their moment of jubilation. For years people with hateful thoughts enshrined discriminatory laws on the books that targeted LGBT members sense of self-worth and dignity. Now, one of those pillars has collapsed. Literally, they have every reason to throw just a tiny fragment of the shit back toward these people for all the years of suffering and sadness they were put through.

If you don't like the atmosphere, there's other threads for you to brood in surely.

On top of the not caring about the ruling, it also seems like you don't care about everything that has led up to it and what it means for the people it benefits.

Echoing what an above poster stated so succinctly. Bigots deserve to be shamed.

Because the people who are bitching about people having equal rights deserved to be mocked and antagonized.

Not to mention it's those very same people who most likely kept voting for gay marriage bans and being general pricks to gays.

Bigots have been making life harder for others - for absolutely no logical reason - for thousands of years. They deserve everything they get now.

And it's easy to make assumptions like that if you never post over there. They're not that different at all. There will always be random hate and foolishness, but it's still a minority.
 
This gem popped up on my Facebook feed:

"If your personal relationships aren't legitimate to you until they are licensed and regulated by the government..... That's really sad."
Holy shit lol this quote is so dumb I don't even know where to begin.

People have been threatening to leave the country for fear of Satan's wrath.

That deserves mocking. It's one thing to be opposed, and it's another thing to be hateful. And we see far too much hatred.
 
Those poor persecuted bigots, how hard it must be for their fragile little minds to cope with their world collapsing.

Good let em' suffer.
 
Fuck it.

Someone gimmie some Avatar Rainbows, wouldya? :)

It's a little mirror reflecting how they've been treated for a fucking long time.

So go fuck yourself.

Dunkelzahn is displeased with the salt. I can only imagine the additions to his already biblical last will.

For a period of ten days beginning on 14 February 2057, Lars J. Matthews will cease to possess any legal status. He will be stripped of all evidence of legal existence, including SIN, credsticks, DocWagon contract, bank accounts and so on. To the individual or group who ends Lars J. Matthews’ physical existence during those ten days, I leave all of Matthews’ assets and 1 million nuyen for a job well done. If Mr. Matthews survives and can prove his identity, his legal status and all possessions will be restored to him. Haven’t you heard? Never deal with a dragon, Lars.

I think you're getting the gist of the thread wrong? There is no antagoniziation here. The salt is already put up on display. We're mocking it here after the fact.

As for the first part:

Some of my gay friends are in fact reveling in the outrage right now, but after all the stories I have been told of what they have been through, and from what I have seen be sent their way by others, I feel they deserve it. Honestly, the majority of my gay friends AREN'T doing any kind of schadenfreude. They are better people than I am, for certain. However, with bigoted nonsense like we are seeing being broadcast right now, public ridicule is actually a decent tool to stop it from spreading.

tl;dr: Let them have this.

It's definitely still a minority, but I do think it's a more sizable one than regular posters on the O-T side. I think far-right types simply don't post in O-T very often because of the rather strong liberal politics that permeate it, so they stick to gaming side where they're not confronted with political stuff as often. But when social/political issues do come up in gaming-side threads, it can get pretty gross.

Then again, O-T isn't perfect, either. The forum's overwhelming male membership causes issues here, too. People can be surprisingly sexist and I often think they don't even realize it.

Really not trying to be too negative here, but it's important to at least recognize some of the less desirable parts of this (overall great) forum.
 
It honestly still amazes me that people come in here saying stuff like "You are just as bad as the bigots! you horrible nasty people!"
Because laughing at the overblown reactions of idiots is totally the same as systematically and cruelly denying people their rights based on nonsense criteria like opinion and faith.

I'd like to see how their reaction would change if they were the ones growing up being call sick, wrong and unnatural.
 
WOOHOO I haven't edited a photo in a while.

Learnt something new (basic stuff) for PaintShopPro. Just use magic wand to make the selection the exact shape you want, change the layer you are focusing on, then promote selection to layer. And you get that shape out of whatever layer you want. YAY. (Took longer than it should have to figure that out).

Like my polka dots?
 
I live in Lubbock, Texas. At one point I believe it had the most churches per capita as a city. I've been away for about a month and I go home later today.

Wonder if there'll be any sort of visible response on the streets from the various churches.
 
I wonder if they'd be complaining about the judges over extending their reach of the decision had gone the other way?
 
Because people feel good about themselves when they are "better" than others. That's why hate speech is demeaning. Told homosexuality is bad? Laugh and call homosexuals disgusting. That makes them the good ones.

This is how it has been for the past generation.

EDIT: I am super grateful for my avatar, but I wanna go snazzy and have rainbow polka dots on his lab coat. Gunna give it a shot.

That definitely true. People feeling better about them being straight and therefore 'normal' and looking down upon homosexuality. Yeah, it's silly.

Cool snazzified avatar tho, heh. :D

Yeah one of the selfish benefits of this is that rainbows are cool again. The company I work for now updated their page full of rainbows. My old job? NOPE. Nothing. So glad I left.

Yes we're just as bad as people who actively campaigned against this and made the lives of LGBT people miserable.

I know you won't come back in this thread and this is a drive by shitpost though.
 
So that is what that spinning thing in the logo is about.

I woke up this morning and said to myself "Summer beach ball in the logo...........Summer-GAF?"
 
Well this is great news, just the thing I needed. Been having a shitmonth and seeing the world actually evolving and being progressive always makes my day! Maybe even my month.

If anyone feels like rainbowfying my avatar, feel free, I'll gladly show support!

Given the text in your avatar, it might give the wrong impression, like the Picard facepalm one, hahaha.

Still, Godot is a badass.
