OK, I re-read the posts in the forum linked to in the OP.

Some of the things said there are appalling to me. Those statement are horrid.

The boycott itself is not immoral if it is for a good reason.

Again, I'm not talking about the boycott. While I think that's silly, I don't care if people boycott Oreo. I'm talking about the bigotry people have been spewing because of a picture Oreo chose to post on their facebook page. For some reason, you're not addressing that. While people are free to say what they want, it's incredibly sad to see people still feel the way these people feel about gay people.

See, even people who agree with the boycott can be appalled by some of the things those people said.

Uhhhh..Honey....

There is a good reason that I DIDN'T read the link when I had a clue...

I won't do me any good to read that crap.

I know damned well what kind of stupidity is out there....I refuse to validate thier viewpoint by wasting my time to read it.

My view...since it ain't legal for me to shoot them....I choose to ignore them and just let life do what it does.

Hey, I have repeatedly ranted against the Westboro Baptist Church from Hell.

I apologize for not paying close enough attention to what was said on the other website.

Not a problem. I was just trying to explain what I was talking about. I may not agree with the reason to boycott, but I'm all for peoples' right to do so. It's the hateful bigotry that people feel the need to spew that disgusts me.

Scripture mentions that it is abomination for a man to lay with another man in a sexual manner...I say homosexuals are heterophobic

That's not the issue here. The issue is the nasty things said about homosexual people, nasty things that conflict with biblical teachings.

ok,, thats funny

heterophobic,,lol

always wondered why its automatically tied to being 'fearful' when you object to something,,,,


I dont agree with the behavior either, but scripture never tells us to oppose it by being foul mouthed and hurtful,,,,as some of the posts on the site are,,,

we are a growingly obese nation

and should probably be buying less cookies anyway,,,

its OREOS,, they are classic


most people buy food because of how it tastes and not because of what holidays it supports,,,


If you take a look at the URL I provided, you'll see it has nothing to do with how Oreos taste.



I said most people, there are others who make everything political and gloom and doom,,,Im thinking/hoping they are just the loud minority,,,

Lemme know how this works out...I do gotta admit that the "heterophobic" thing is pretty cool. (Hadn't heard that one)

Scripture...not so much unless you are on Jihad.

As you can see, this wasn't a thread about cookies in general. So, pointing out that cookies are bad for us and people buy them because they taste good had nothing to do with the thread.

So, because gay people aren't interested in straight people, they're heterophobic? Using your logic, because you're not interested in gay people, you're homophobic.

boycotting things we dont need anyway doesnt get much of a rise from me,,,,

I think that was the point

if heteros who dont feel homosexual sex is healthy or natural or right are homophobic

homosexuals who dont wish to have heterosexual sex are heterophobic


if one can be accused of fearing something, so can the other,,,

Ok..I have lost all the IQ points I am willing on waste on this.

Consider the view . Intolerant hatred of intolerant hatred.

Have fun with it.
