- geekchic, on 11/18/2007, -22/+644The irony is that Microsoft doesn't "champion" gay rights - simply accords gay people the same equal rights as straight people.
And that is how it should be. - vault, on 11/18/2007, -3/+395Yes, punish Microsoft by convincing your followers to buy their stock. That'll show 'em.
- AmishRefugee, on 11/18/2007, -27/+416This is very ironic, all the gay people I know love Apple....
- inactive, on 11/18/2007, -5/+339Nothing says Jesus like taking Church money to fund the hostile takeover of a company because it promotes human rights.
- Ajajadude, on 11/18/2007, -12/+303First, they start pushing for gay rights. What's next, equal rights for black people? Oh...wait...
- lharrod, on 11/18/2007, -5/+187Prediction: Eventually, this pastor will be caught in a men's room, trying to purchase "services" from an underage male.
- inactive, on 11/18/2007, -11/+189Just because they made vista doesn't make them all gay...
- casper1066, on 11/18/2007, -4/+176are they outing the paperclip - i am confused
- ManMadeSpoon, on 11/18/2007, -7/+155"I am a black man with a righteous cause with a whole host of powerful white people behind me."
"Mr Hutcherson, who grew up in segregated Alabama and played football to "hurt whites" before he became a Christian"
How the ***** do these people get into these positions? Because I walk into church every Sunday means I'm forgiven for murdering that hooker last week? AND snorting that coke off her!? WHERE DOES THOU SIGN? - CarolinaHeel23, on 11/18/2007, -4/+146i don't think Jesus ever threatened to be anyones worst nightmare, or would have cared about microsoft
- Berkana, on 11/18/2007, -4/+130Excuse me? a pastor vows to TAKE OVER Microsoft? WTF has he been smoking? Someone has terribly mis-arranged priorities. Why do these pastors turn a blind eye to the abuses of companies like Titain, Blackwater, KBR, and Halliburton and make no such threats towards them, but spew pompous words like this as soon as the issue involves gays? As if one is intolerable unrighteousness while the other is not even worth criticizing! Who the hell does he think he's fooling?
- commernie, on 11/18/2007, -4/+126The term "gay rights" means exactly that. Namely, equal rights for gay and straight people. I don't think anybody has ever advocated that gays should have more rights than straight people.
- Muyoso, on 11/18/2007, -4/+122Whats ironic is that this guy is threatening to buy Microsoft stock if Microsoft doesnt change their policies. What the ***** do you think Microsoft is giong to say, NO, PLEASE DONT INVEST YOUR MONEY IN OUR COMPANY.
- skrizzy, on 11/18/2007, -5/+117It says he sees being homosexual as a sin, not as a biological phenomenon.
Next thing is he will see electricity as magic. - gordonm, on 11/18/2007, -2/+105Hutcherson was a football player. He must have seen too many penises he liked in the locker room, to become this homophobic.
- Hoxie, on 11/18/2007, -4/+99Last windows update there was a new file called BUMSEX.dll in my system32 folder. They're secretly infecting our computers with a gay virus.
- webcure, on 11/18/2007, -7/+100Mr Hutcherson's office is decorated with the heads of deer, elk and a buffalo – "when I run into animals, I kill them and bring them home and eat them".
Oh yeah, we have an enlightened individual here. - Babazoz, on 11/19/2007, -8/+94And there you have it.
Microsoft = Champion of gay rights.
Apple = Just plain gay. - cquinnd, on 11/18/2007, -0/+84Especially since each of those followers would have to buy about several million dollars worth of public shares apiece to have enough clout to reverse the decisions of the majority shareholders.
- iamsamsamiam, on 11/18/2007, -3/+81Retarded movement, they'll have to get to the a large enough share size to bring up that topic to the board. Then they have to have a shareholders meeting where more than 50% of it will actually vote against equality. Not in this life time.
- GoingPostal, on 11/18/2007, -2/+76He must have played football without a helmet.
- 16x9, on 11/18/2007, -13/+84Choose to be gay? Alienate people by insisting on the same rights others have?
Please tell me that sarcasm and I'm just not quick enough to get it. - Kaboom108, on 11/18/2007, -1/+70Wait, he's threatening to drive up Microsoft's stock price, and make all it's stockholders wealthier, if they don't do what the wants? I wish someone would threaten me like that. Seems like he learned economics from the same place he learned about tolerance and civil rights.
- Elranzer, on 11/18/2007, -4/+66What's real ironic is that the pastor is not afraid of Microsoft because he "has God on his side." What he doesn't realize is that Microsoft is more powerful than God, and very real.
- tomboy501, on 11/18/2007, -2/+63yeah..there's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfipBdlTDVE
- RollFizzlebeef, on 11/18/2007, -1/+61Who wants to bet on how soon this guy is caught tapping his foot in a men's bathroom?
- init100, on 11/18/2007, -2/+61Exactly. The entire reason for the gay rights movements to exist is because gays has historically had much fewer (if any at all) rights than straight people.
- frakilk, on 11/18/2007, -7/+63Welcome to La La Land
- dkreifus, on 11/18/2007, -0/+54Who the hell is this guy? "They are nothing but a feather in the wind of God." If Microsoft is so insignificant, then why does he or God care about them so much. And if God cared so much, he may just come and take care of that feather. "America basically got started with a tea party and Goliath, if I'm not mistaken, got taken down by David, who believed in the same cause I believe in." David took on Goliath because Goliath supported gays? I must have missed that story on Veggie tales.
- EdgarVerona, on 11/18/2007, -0/+49Aye, I believe Microsoft's cap is somewhere around 300 billion right now if I'm not mistaken. To get 50% majority share, someone's going to have to cough up about 3 times more money than the richest person in the world currently possesses in liquid assets.
- FeargusMcDuff, on 11/18/2007, -1/+45More like billions.
- EdgarVerona, on 11/18/2007, -4/+48This is insane. You've got to be ***** kidding me.
- x00x, on 11/18/2007, -1/+44lol. You'd think with all the issues that need to be championed by Christianity/Black America, this doesn't make the top 10,000.
- commernie, on 11/18/2007, -3/+44"Retarded movement."
Movements started by evangelical pastors usually are. - ggnictee, on 11/18/2007, -2/+43People who clearly haven't read the Bible but still insist on representing my God really get under my skin; so I apologize if the following borders on rant:
The bible is actually very clear on how christianity should react to homosexuals. The new testament says in no less then 500 what you should do when you run across a homosexual. Love them.
It's really that simple. It doesn't matte what someone is, does or believes. If they are hungry; feed them. If they are naked; cloth them. If they are lonely; sit with them. If you wear a cross; be nice or take it off. When you go out you're representing Christ.
So what would Jesus do? He would hang on the cross for them (yes "them" whoever they are in your life, gays, republicans, democrats, terrorists, whoever) He died so They could posses the peace that passes understanding. So They can live eternaly, guilt free, for free. And right before He did that He said "watch what I'm about to do and then go do that." (technicality he said "go and love one another as I first loved you" but you get the idea.) He died for everyone: hypocrites, jerks, idiots, the whole lot of us. Even you and amazingly enough even me.
Christians are (clearly) not perfect. (if we were perfect we wouldn't need to be Christians) So do me a favor; until your slate is clean how about you shut your pie hole. Or open the doors of your church and invite every stranger you can find. And when they get there; don't ask where they came from or what they believe, just welcome them with everything you've got. Love them like Christ loved you. And if that means I am going to be hated by a group of people (who apparently started and stopped reading the bible in the middle of Leviticus) then that's a small price to pay. Because I read The Book. And as far as I can tell I'm called to hope happily onto my cross to save those I hate.
So whatever group you hate, for whatever reason, just try (no one's asking you to be perfect) but try. Remember it's not your church, it's God's church. and everyone is welcome in my Father's house. ...even the jerk who's trying to take over Microsoft.
As far as gay rights go: the constitution is very clear on this point. Check Amendments One and Fourteen. - jbird71, on 11/18/2007, -11/+49As I read on Fark yesterday, Apple is gayer than a pocketful of rainbows.
- EdgarVerona, on 11/18/2007, -2/+40Population: deranged, attention-whore extremist pastors.
- cquinnd, on 11/18/2007, -0/+37Not to mention even if they gained a large enough voting block to bring the topic to the table the effort would open them up to public scrutiny by the SEC, not to mention what the IRS would think of all that money getting throw around.
This pastor wants to step out of his world into the world that MS runs in, and I don't think he really understands the corporate world and culture that MS, Apple, Google, Yahoo, and even Digg represent. - Locke2053, on 11/19/2007, -4/+40Yeah, and after that, women will want equality instead of the submissive role they are given by the bible.
- jstone, on 11/18/2007, -4/+39Crazy, right wing extremists vs Microsoft? I don't know who to root for!
- sophiaperennis, on 11/19/2007, -2/+36Based on the current market-cap of roughly $318 billion for the MSFT stock (Microsoft), he only needs $318 million to be a 0.1% shareholder. Good luck with that.
- tomboy501, on 11/18/2007, -2/+35No kidding! This guy is a kook: Just from this article: "Mr Hutcherson's office is decorated with the heads of deer, elk and a buffalo – "when I run into animals, I kill them and bring them home and eat them"
He also played football to "hurt whites". Nice quotes for a guy wanting to change the world of business. - ZenMojo, on 11/18/2007, -3/+35My douche alarm is going off. So this guy would throw all of his money into buying up a company to make it anti-gay, thus running its goodwill into the ground along with its bottom line? This guy would throw his money away for the sole purpose of removing gay civil rights?
On the plus side, he could only do this once and all it would do is break a monopoly and sprout up a bunch of PRIVATE companies that can't be bought and will be far more gay friendly just to spite him. That should be amusing. - john2kx, on 11/18/2007, -6/+38You don't "choose to be gay", just as you don't "choose to be straight."
It's amazing that there are so many people that still can't grasp this. - mrsteveman1, on 11/18/2007, -4/+34Religion = power structure, jesus has little to do with it anymore.
- scabbers, on 11/18/2007, -6/+36Why do evangelicals hate America?
- mrsteveman1, on 11/18/2007, -2/+31Feminism for men
- Samarobrin, on 11/18/2007, -2/+30Yeah pastor! And once we get rid of the "gay rights thing" then we can all go put our special costumes on with the pointy hats! Then we can round up all them gays and hang them from the highest Magnolia tree and ... and ... oh wait.
- monkeysaurus, on 11/18/2007, -1/+27Whatever it is, I bet it isn't as enjoyable as onanism.
- inactive, on 11/18/2007, -1/+25Damn liberals and their hocus-pocus book learnin'.
