I'll drop it because it's not the place, but since I am a biologist (and not a fan of biological determinism) if you could send me some of the biological evidence by private I would love to take a look at it.

I don't want to derail, but I've had gay people tell me that they consider being gay a choice, and that they dislike the argument that it's genetic because then it looks like it's some kind of disease or flaw. Their opinion is that they are grown adults and can stick their dick wherever they...

It's not my definition of harassment you have to care about. It's the corporation's definition of harassment. It's not my definition of terrorism you have to care about, it's the government's. Of course you can always find the way to split hairs as long as the arbitrary rulings don't apply...

The reasons are the same. Completely arbitrary. Your claim that both are not comparable need some more meat to it. Either corporations are not bound to respect people and can deny entry to anybody or they are. "Harassment" is a meaningless concept by now, half of the SRS network should be...

The argument I was presenting has nothing to do with people being a monolithic entity. If I am irritated it's because my mother language is not English and I'm tired, and you have no fucking idea how frustrating is, under this conditions, having to post at people who are doing their best to...

No, I am asking Zeconte specifically if, on that given instance, they would be on the same side of the issue defending the rights of corporations to deny service and kick out people who they have unilaterally deemed "undesirable". I was just putting an example of a previous issue were people...

I remember there being some pretty epic ass pain on the internet regarding a certain pizza shop and their refusal to sell pizza to gay weddings. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/01/1374969/-Thanks-For-The-Memories-Pizza A lot of people seemed to be on board protesting and making fun...

So in a world where the definition of "harassment" has come down to "googling your name and finding someone on some corner on the internet saying something mean about you" everybody is cool with people unilaterally deciding to ban "harassing" boards. This can only end well. But of course, of...

Well, as much as I enjoy being stubborn I can't say I don't agree with you a bit there. It looks like they decided to go about with a "come at me bro" attitude and that is going to overclock the outrage machine.

I think the largest logical error I have seen regarding this add is claiming that if I say that being thin and strong is good I am saying being fat is horrible and shaming all fat people and saying they should not go to the beach. Expressing one's aesthetic preferences is not condemning people...

"Calling out" is usually an outright attack on a company. It is a "corporate" insult. I have seen this go down before, you start with a tweet like that, the retweeting starts and the next day the usual clickbaity sites are running stories on how this horrible company is sexist and is promoting...

What always get me about that is that they clearly had a model when creating it. Look at those boob folds. There was someone in the stone age who was as fat as that and I always wonder how the fuck they managed.

And why should they not respond? Why would anyone expect hostility to be met with silence or politeness? This is the part that I don't understand. If I go to somebody in the street and start rambling about how I fucking hate X about them and they are sexists and terrible people I would expect...

Sounds great. What should they do? Accept what the offendatrons tell them at face value? The ad is neither offensive nor sexist. I paid attention to the controversy and what they were answering to was petty bullshit itself. Just a knee-jerk reaction because attractive ladies are completely...

Grandmas in Spain who lived the post-war period still go "look at you, how fat you are!" as a compliment when they see you. It doesn't always go down well.
