Gay Apple customer handed receipt with ‘f@g.com’ on it - Polidicks

I could understand why someone may be offended by that, but I'd honestly just laugh if I got that :v: Don't think it was intentional though.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;45692878]"In my experience there are two kinds of Irish people, the drunk ones and the ones that just act like normal people"[/QUOTE] ... that's true, though. Same with us Scots. Well, there's a third category for us; the ones who are asphyxiating on their own vomit in an alleyway due to a heroin overdose.

Are they like... forbidden territory for conversation?[/QUOTE] Nah, Facepunch is just too dumb to realize he didn't say something loaded like "Most homosexuals are flamboyant about their lifestyles and then there's the less common regular bloke who is also a homo." Zeke129s post above is a brilliant example of clearly not getting it.

[QUOTE=Dermock;45689220]There are two kinds of gay men in my experience: type A and type B. Type A will make sure that everything knows they they enjoy a good schlong up the butt and are as flamboyant as Americans are fat. Type B is a ordinary bloke that happens to likes blokes.[/QUOTE] How much experience with gay men do you have?

Can't he sue them for that? Since it's apple and the insult is really discriminating, he could get millions of dollars out of this, couldn't he?

[QUOTE=Impact1986;45696762]"In my experience there are two kinds of feminists, the insane radical ones and the ones who actually care about equal rights"[/QUOTE] Do you have to cram this into everything you possibly can? It's all you do.

[QUOTE=Prollgurke;45696703]Can't he sue them for that? Since it's apple and the insult is really discriminating, he could get millions of dollars out of this, couldn't he?[/QUOTE] No, because he has no way to prove that it was a) intentional and b) done by an employee to spite him [editline]15th August 2014[/editline] Either the dude put it there himself to drum up controversy and get attention or it was randomized and it happened to offend him like that guy whose plane ticket called him a nigger or whatever it was

[QUOTE=Mysterious;45693863]I could understand why someone may be offended by that, but I'd honestly just laugh if I got that :v: Don't think it was intentional though.[/QUOTE]Something like this? "Haha! How did you know?" *show receipt* "Oh! Sorry about that, when it asked me for an email I just hit the keyboard, guess I hit F and G in the right way." "Oh, it's alright, I thought it was funny because I actually am gay." I think you and every other gay dude who doesn't need a hugbox to survive would probably react that way. There's no way he could have known the customer was gay unless he made it painfully obvious and if that's the case he should tone it the fuck down.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;45692878]"In my experience there are two kinds of Irish people, the drunk ones and the ones that just act like normal people"[/QUOTE] That's insinuating that the normal ones are just drunk ones that pretend otherwise. The implication there is that all Irish are drunks. That is incorrect on even a general level. Though I still consider it a surreal joke that highlights an issue in Ireland. But whatever... The original statement that we are discussing suggests nothing outlandish or surreal. It is a simplification, though I think it makes sense. The flamboyant ones are flamboyant because of their flamboyant behaviour. If you don't act flamboyant, you're not part of the flamboyant group. So there is nobody being unduly labeled as flamboyant. Unlike in the Irish drunkards "generalisation". [QUOTE=Jacen;45693631]It's dumb because it's separating people into arbitrary "types" as if everyone fits them and that's that.[/QUOTE] It's not a "that's that" statement, it's a generalisation. Generalisations are not generally used to establish concrete facts. Though people generally misunderstand them because they are biased and have an agenda. [QUOTE=DiscoMelon;45693686]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.[/QUOTE] Misconceptions are the issue. Not generalizations. Bigots are an even bigger issue than both. Don't shun generalizations because of ignorant fuck heads. [QUOTE=kaskade700;45694995]Facepunch is just too dumb to realize he didn't say something loaded[/QUOTE] Seems that way. People here seem very eager to root out homophobia... Their intentions are noble, but they are being unjustly accusatory.

What I am wondering is how the store clerk knew he was gay. You cant look at someone and know they are gay unless you are at a pride parade

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;45698052]What I am wondering is how the store clerk knew he was gay.

My bf got made fun of for years people calling him gay for no reason. The pizza delivery guy I got, I would also assume is gay, (the haircut he had, shorts, and I got called hun like 5 times in a 2-3 minute conversation) but I wouldn't know for sure. He never said he was gay, I would just assume from stereotypes.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;45691798]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] We have a pretty high property and income tax, as far as I'm aware.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45689159]Explain fatg.com and what significance that has, and how it's more probable than fag.com?[/QUOTE] Explain why you seem so pissed he was explaining a joke.
