OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights
PortWineBoy writes: "The Beeb is reporting that OkCupid is prompting Mozilla Firefox users to switch browsers over Brendan Eich's support of Prop 8 in California in 2008. Users are met with a message stating that OKCupid would prefer no one access their site with Mozilla software. Eich is the new CEO of Mozilla."
Longtime Firefox user here and traditional family values supporter. I don't even know what OKCupid is, have no plans to visit that site, will definitely keep using Firefox!
If the torch & pitchfork crowds are going after this dude now because he supported CA Prop 8, shouldn't they also call for a boycott of the state of California? You know, since a majority of their voters voted for the infamous Proposition 8 and passed it. I would say that voting for it counts as supporting it, right?
Logic means nothing to these people. They'll call you a horrible person for not washing your hands after going to the bathroom but throw you a fucking parade and cheer you for hours because you stick your dick in someones ass.
We aren't dealing with rational human beings. They are perverted, mentally ill people. Unless you join in their illness you are to be mocked, called a bigot and run out of town. There is no room for dissent.
People's attitudes on this are extremely hypocritical. We rail against hatred and discrimination, and yet here we are with a "BURN THE HEATHENS!" mob mentality the second we find out about someone donating a relatively measly $1000 to Prop8. With the way some people are acting, you would think we just discovered that the guy was a raging pedophile. Did he really give out anywhere near the amount of damage that he and Mozilla are now receiving? Is this how we win the battle against discrimination? By replacing one form of irrational hatred and bias with another?
We may view it as poetic justice, but it's hypocrisy; plain and simple. People love to hate. The only thing that ever changes is who the current easy target is. Plenty of CEOs are vile, unscrupulous pigs who cheat on their wives and sexually harass female employees, but you won't see this sort of backlash against them because it isn't the current political hot topic.
Well, when your side of the argument is a crowd of self loathing homosexuals with absolutely no moral compass and a penchant for flying off the handle coupled with a need for societal acceptance of perverted behavior you can't expect anything less than torches and pitch forks.
wow. You are a truly horrible person.
You forget to check AC, btw.
Here comes the 'I don't post as AC' lie.
I don't post AC. Never have. But keep projecting yourself onto others.
I couldn't give a rats ass about the slashdot popularity contest. Perverts are perverts, that is all.
I find gays annoying. They are approaching Glenn Beck levels of pathetic whiny-ness over non-issues and are constantly on the lookout for something to be offended about, then lynch the person who dared oppose them. Not anyone over anything important either, like say people who want homosexuality itself outlawed; just easy targets who people already don't like, like CEOs. And always with the boycotts, boycott that noodle company because the CEO declined to make a commercial with a gay family in it, boycott firefox because the CEO donated his own money on his own time, etc...
The Left has become fascist in the name of tolerance. Tolerance will be imposed and all who stand in the way will put against the wall.
I'm sure you believe all that with all your heart. Of course that doesn't make it true.
You know in some countries adults, even in their 50s and older, marry children as young as 9 years old. Is that something you can oppose? Are you against those groups?
much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot - George Orwell
Because of people like you and your knee jerk bullshit in denying people their own personal opinions I am actively refusing to employ not just gays but also liberals and democrats. I will never again tolerate your type in my presence. You are the scum of the earth and will reap the consequences of your personal hate and intolerance.
Marriage isnt a right you dumb shit. You aren't assigned partners at birth. Get the fuck over your gay self.
Is that why prop 8 passed and didn't have enough antivotes? Where are those over half the voters validated at?
I am also of the opinion that gays are ludicrous and while they deserve rights as individuals shouldn't be trying to force their views down others throats. Its sort of a method of mind control, trying to force my brain and everyone else's to accept your butt fucking B bullshit.
I support everyone who chooses to let gays do what they're gonna do but they can't expect the rest of the population to care about them.
