Yeah, it's not like players like Richie Incognito exist or anything. Oh wait...

No, no, haven't you heard? A gay in the locker room is just constantly waiting for an opportunity to take a flying leap across the room and bury his turgid member between an unsuspecting straight teammate's butt cheeks. EVERYONE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR ANAL BUM COVERS ON AT ALL TIMES

"Agenda". Uh huh. Your bigotry is showing. Are you part of the solution, or part of the problem?

I thought the assumption so far was that this guy is really good? I'll admit, I'm only a casual football fan, but I thought it was a given that the whole reason we're debating him at all is because his abilities are a no-brainer. Is he not that good?

Well, this really is the NFL's time to show the world whether they are or aren't homophobic over-sized third graders. It remains to be seen how Michael Sam is received. Either they can show themselves to be a progressive, tolerant organization, or they can shun him and prove, once and for all, that they are indeed…

I think the dudes who make the "locker room" argument are really just afraid the gay guy WON'T hit on them. For, you see, they believe they're the shit, and anyone who gazes upon their naked body will absolutely lose control and HAVE to be all over them. When they actually have to face a gay guy in the locker room,…

The first motherfucker in the NFL who gives Michael Sam shit for being gay, I hope he punches that player in the face so hard that he needs reconstructive surgery, and from that point on, any would-be bigot will be terrified to so much as look at him side-eyed. Enough is enough.

God I am so sick of this trend of making words by taking a word and adding "-splaining" to it.

Yeah, because someone getting high means they get high AT WORK. Idiot.

Fucking buzzkills like you are the reason it's NOT a good idea to give weed as an office gift. The chance of giving it to a petty rat like you is too high to be worth it.

I'm an adult and still prefer a pipe because I can't roll joints worth shit (they canoe and drop ashes everywhere and I think I'm going to set the rug on fire) and I'm too poor to buy a good bong. I have a vaporizer but it's a brand that's unwieldy and more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. Pipes require zero…

Yeah, when I was a pre-teen and young teenager (I'm 32), porn was still a semi-difficult thing to find. We had AOL and BBSes, so there was SOME access to online porn, but not like today. It was still a victory to find your dad's Playboys or see a few seconds of scrambled porn. Coming across a stash in the middle of…

I always insist on a pat-down. Not only do I find it absolutely demeaning to go through a body scanner, but I enjoy making these people's jobs more difficult. I'll stay respectful and not combative, say "Yes, sir" and "No, sir", but I enjoy the fact that I'm making them have to go through extra steps. Maybe…

But the authoritarians ASSURED US that the TSA was purely professional, and would never do something like stare at people's naked bodies and make jokes. They were ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE about this, and told us we were just being paranoid if we worried about anything like that. Didn't you all? And now they're ASSURING US…

I'm fairly certain that when the NSA wants a third-party company to hand over its data, they don't give them a choice. They say "You WILL give it to us, NOW".

See now, that would have been a fine explanation, but you just HAD to go and put that smug "The more you know" at the end, huh.

I'm looking back over the thread again, and one of the earliest responses was a smarmy anigif, and another one simply said "Yeah, bad taste" with no elaboration, which is not helpful. I consider those not-civil responses, and my tone matched theirs.

I "started to get it" because they were civil and non-confrontational, not because they were transwomen.

It started off fairly early with smarmy gifs, which honestly are one thing I get sick of easily on the Internet, as I feel that meme-posting is a lame substitute for actual discussion, and there's this idea that if you can find a sassy animated gif to use as a response to a comment you don't like, you've completely…
