This ####ing psycho told me once she didn’t know how to tell her kids their grandfathers were war criminals because of Hiroshima, and they were American soldiers.You should've bridged the conversation to abortion. She would not get it though......our country is in sad shape.

Great story.

You were causing microaggression before causing microaggression was cool.

Psychobeeyotch didn’t realize that those two atom bombs saved a million US soldiers dead and wounded and over 5 million Japanese lives that would have been lost in the invasion and conquest of Japan.

She would not have had those kids, as their grandfathers would not have survived.

Some New promotion ideas:

NIKE: So intolerant of morality that we will fire anyone who dares to voice a moral opinion.

NIKE Prefers Perversity

NIKE, The Unnatural Brand

NIKE, Promoting Indecency and Hating Moral Truths

NIKE, Proud of What is Shameful and Ashamed of What is True

NIKE, Just Do It If It’s Nasty

true story. every word.

and everyone worked for project innocence.

they said those on death row didn’t have fathers. i said mine died when i was 15.

and they said “well that explains alot”

see how quickly they show their cruel colors? didn’t bother me in the least. Big boss was of Italian ancestry also AND conservative. We owned that office :)

the microaggression thing was funny!

abortion? no problem, she would have said.

she told me once I shouldn’t go to FR at work then she apologized telling me she had no right to tell me what sites i could go to.

we were allowed to look at anything but porn :)

“They can do what they want. They issued a statement after their spokesman insulted some of their customers. Boycott if you want but it was their business decision”

I never said they couldn’t. Yes, they issued a statement about insulting some of their customers. And their statement also insulted some of their customers, including me. Your original point was that their response was smart for business. My point is that it would be smarter to be neutral in the culture war. It is just like actors who get very political. They have the right to support whomever they want, but it may cost them fans and patrons of their movies.

Manny Pacquiao would have had no difficulties if—instead—he’d trashed pedophiles and pederasts.

Uh you have to be first, yu are insulted by a company taking care of insulted customers. And I am insulted by you and someone is insulted by me and so forth and so on. You have to call a halt to the game and either step up to buy or don’t.

Nike made their choice now make yours. Just do it.
