I don't think it was intended to be that I think it's just a random string of letters that get put in if they don't give an email, for example here: [IMG_thumb]http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/90/b4/c5/90b4c51ea2ad7fd9498e66765d3e3884.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

[QUOTE=Dermock;45689220]There are two kinds of gay men in my experience: type A and type B.

Type B is a ordinary bloke that happens to likes blokes.[/QUOTE] I really don't think the type of person you're describing in "type A" is as common as you think. There's probably straight men out there who talk about how much they love fucking girls, but you probably don't classify straight people as "Type A" and "Type B"

Is it possible this guy made his email address [email]f@g.com[/email] to cause a fuss?

[QUOTE=proch;45689678][video=youtube;e3h6es6zh1c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3h6es6zh1c[/video][/QUOTE] That was great. [editline]14th August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Shocky;45689719]Is it possible this guy made his email address [email]f@g.com[/email] to cause a fuss?[/QUOTE] People are willing to do a lot to get attention. It's possible that the customer specified that email. But I speculate that it was just random typing. The clerk is innocent until proven guilty in my view.

[QUOTE=smurfy;45689204]How did the Apple store know he was gay?[/QUOTE] Because he went into an Apple store. :v:

F and G are right next to one another on the keyboard. If you just want to put two random letters in then it's possible that they pushed them without looking. it's unfortunate but i don't think it's intentional.

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;45689666]There's probably straight men out there who talk about how much they love fucking girls but you probably don't classify straight people as "Type A" and "Type B"[/QUOTE] Straight people who talk like that don't get a label, or get categorized, because they don't tend to act this way around strangers. Unlike flamboyant gays who advertise their differences from non-flamboyant gays. In terms of perception, they need to be separated, otherwise some people will think that all gays are flamboyant. Which just isn't true, that's just the flamboyant gays overshadowing non-flamboyant gays. And anyway. There was a logic to the anecdote. It was used to convey the possibility that the customer was flamboyantly gay... and that would be evidence that the clerk knew of his homosexuality, which in turn suggests that the clerk wrote the slur on purpose.

After the many various receipt hoaxes we've seen recently I'm finding this hard to take seriously.

[QUOTE=Senscith;45689154]He paid no tax on those headphones.[/QUOTE] There's no sales tax in Oregon.

[QUOTE=Xyrofen;45691611]There's no sales tax in Oregon.[/QUOTE] That seems unlikely to me...

So is he actually going to get in any real trouble for this or is he just getting fired. If he is actually getting fined for calling someone a slur that is fucking stupid, no matter how harsh the term.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;45691645]That seems unlikely to me...[/QUOTE] They probably have a ridiculously high tax on a lot of other things, like alcohol/tobacco and such. Or housing taxes or something similar. They make up for it elsewhere.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;45691645]That seems unlikely to me...[/QUOTE] NH, no sales tax, represent!

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;45689672]It's probably common practice by apple store employees to use a short thing like that for minor sales. And that guy decided to bundle fag into it.[/QUOTE] It's probably automatically generated.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;45691645]That seems unlikely to me...[/QUOTE] I live in Oregon, I can confirm we have no sales tax here.

[QUOTE=smurfy;45689204]How did the Apple store know he was gay?[/QUOTE] he unironically walked into the apple store and bought something

[QUOTE=.Lain;45690335]y do you need to seperate them as gay people they're just flamboyant people.[/QUOTE] He was being appropriately contextual. He was suggesting that the customer may have been flamboyant regarding his gayness. [B]They may have been attracting attention to their particular lifestyle.[/B] [QUOTE]who gives a fuck if they are other than homophobes anyways [/QUOTE] Are you insinuating that I am a homophobe, just because I think that homosexuality is relevant - in a case where a gay man was given a receipt that had a homophobic slur on it? [I]If so. Wow. Fuck you.[/I] There are two types of Irish people, those that like Guinness and those that don't. Is that an okay thing to say? Am I offending anyone? Am I being racist?

I am quadrasexual and this is not ok

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45689159]Explain fatg.com and what significance that has, and how it's more probable than fag.com?[/QUOTE] G is a slang term for gangster, so like, fat G would be a fat gangster.

[QUOTE=Kardia;45692687][B]Why is that such a bad thing to say?[/B] What's wrong with talking about gay people? Are they like... forbidden territory for conversation?[/QUOTE] It has nothing to do with talking about gay people, it's dumb because it's separating people into arbitrary "types" as if everyone fits them and that's that. It's as absurd as it would have been if he said that there are only gay or straight people, completely ignoring the fact that bisexuality, asexuality, or anything else exists. Or implying that people can only be masculine and feminine, or good and evil.

[QUOTE=Kardia;45692687] What's wrong with talking about gay people? Are they like... forbidden territory for conversation?[/QUOTE] It wasn't that he was talking about gay people. He was stating a generalization about them based off of what he claims to have observed himself, stating that all of them are either one way or another. Generalizations about groups of people are bad because they tend to lead to(and be based off of) misconceptions and about said groups of people, which leads to all sorts of nasty bigotry. Basing our views off of our own singular experiences may be basic human nature, but so is the urge to punch people you don't like in the face.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;45691645]That seems unlikely to me...[/QUOTE] I'm living in Portland at the moment and will also confirm that we have no sales tax. The state and city makes up for it by having high income taxes and making money off things like Parking tickets (they REALLY enforce those) and novelty license plates (there's a plate to commemorate just about everything here. Seriously, it's kind of crazy). Also, cities in Oregon are able to introduce a separate, city sales tax like what Ashland has done on certain types of food.
