Short of forceful coercion, I started my own business where I work alone.

Same here. It's nice being your own boss, and going the internet route as I did the money is there for the taking.

The gayrights lobby are a bunch of goose-stepping Nazis.

Amen to that!

You know, I'm all for this, if they don't like me, I'll go start my own business, work in my jammies at home, etc.

But many of us are missing the point: They WANT us out of their corporations! And if THEY eventually take over most or all of the big corps, they will not just have won, they will run everything. Everything. Maybe we should rethink all of us selling widgets on the internet as their megacorporations take over our lives.

I couldn't agree more. I used to have a very tolerant attitude because I thought it was mutual. What I have come to discover in recent years is that the radical gay agenda doesn't just want to agree to disagee, they want to force me and the institutions I belong to to agree with them. Enough.

What a shame that things ended at your firm so badly. But good for you for standing for your principles.

"Leave your politics and your religion at the door when you come to my place of business. We're there to make money and you're on my time."

Yeah, well, gee golly ........how swell.

Now how about those of us who work for mega corporations that decide to shove the homosexual agenda down our throats? Guess, since we're on their time, we need to shut up and take it, right slick?

By the way.........since you're obviously uninformed, there are those who believe that their faith is a lifestyle; not something you check at the door by the time clock.

With all due respect, why on earth should they have to sign anything at all?

The same reason King Henry VIII required all of his subjects to sign an oath that his divorce was legal. Some people believe that consensus makes it right.

You don't have to sell widgets... inventors for example develop their own products and market them on the internet, and there's a million more examples. You can carve out your own little niche that's totally free of corporate control.

For the gays and other Christian bigots are real weapon is boycotting their products and putting them out of business.

Um, yeah, we're all inventors. I know: Each inventor can sell his invention to other inventors, and we'll be free, forever. I doubt that there are a "million" more examples. Leaving the field in defeat is not defeating the enemy, friend.

"For the gays and other Christian bigots are real weapon is boycotting their products and putting them out of business."

You know what the truth is? The truth is, the mass market is so...MASS, that a puny little boycott is, at best, like a hiccup to a big corporation. They are rarely big enough to do any damage, and they also lack staying power--"Hey, Hon, are we stil boycotting GM, or is that over?"

Please rethink.

Something to ponder, and maybe act upon.

Thanks.

Please rethink.

Do you recall what happened with CBS and the Reagan-bashing movie? The threat of a boycott caused the gay-loving, socialist network to back down. Even liberals understand money. When enough people finally get fed up from all the pc nonsense going on they will take action, so I don't see a reason to rethink.

Um, yeah, we're all inventors. I know: Each inventor can sell his invention to other inventors, and we'll be free, forever. I doubt that there are a "million" more examples.

There all kinds of ways to make your own products and sell them, and people are doing it as we speak. You can find almost anything on the internet that is hand-made by a small-time entrepreneur, including furniture, food, guns, and at reasonable prices. The internet is only one alternative as a way to escape the pc corporate mentality, there are others.

And now that we know that they represent a very vocal but a very small minority of the populace - counts by experts now state it is less than 2% of the population, then I have to ask, we pay attention to this WHY?

Again, anyone can say anything abusive or derogatory about Christians, and nothing happens. No repercussions. And David Limbaugh has a book that proves it.

But say something about the abohorrent, aberrant behavior of homosexuals and by golly, you can find yourself unemployed.

I find this situation so disgusting, I can barely express myself succinctly.

As time goes by, the vile anti-social behavior of Queers steadily gets worse and worse . . . as this current FReeper article demonstrates!!! Therefore, allow me to repeat my own personal rant one more time:

Oak Hay, so I'm very disturbed and continually puzzled about how a small bunch of contrary to nature freaks can destroy our entire civilization. . . BUT DAMMIT, THEY'RE DOING IT !!!

These unsavory and unclean sub-human creatures delight in ramming their urine exhaust pipes into the rectal relief tubes of young boys (and of each other) !!! They brag and crow loudly about their filthy behavior !!! They demand access to our young and innocent children... so they can commit sodomy and oral sex acts upon them!!! Then they scream and holler...

"Homophobe"

... when we seek to save our children from their filthy and immoral activities!!! WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THIS ONCE-FREE REPUBLIC ??? DO WE NOT HAVE THE RIGHT AND MORAL DUTY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM SLIME LIKE THIS ???

.

Wow, great historical reference to what's going on here. I guess it proves that these tactics go back further than we thought.

I'm not into "fag" jokes at work, work is a place to get something done, not to belittle anyone. But having people sign "pledges" has nothing to do with work, its just groupthink. I wonder what would happen if somebody put up a pro-adoption poster in their cubicle? Would the pro-abortion freaks go ballistic? I'm adopted, could I make a grievance issue out of the feminazis who were engaged in "hate speech" against me?

Sometimes, the best way to defeat the system is to use its own rules against it. Ask any tax accountant!

the company directed employees to sign a "certificate of understanding."

Leave your politics and your religion at the door when you come to my place of business-....no problem, I expect as long as you do the same

That is sure true. People here post negative things about President Bush without getting banned, so long as it is a rational comment on politic or policy. And people here disagree often. There does not seem to be one "acceptable" position on any number of issues.

Are you sure that is true? I thought homosexuals were one of the demographic groups that Hitler and his thugs sought to exterminate.
