I don't think moral superiority or maturity has anything to do with it, it's George Takei proving that gay people can be awesome and having fun while doing so.

Look at it this way. If I tell you that I hate you, would you be justified/sympathetic in snarking back?

My bitter snarking is always very sympathetic. I feel very sorry for those I drive to self-defenestration.

Justified/sympathetic to who? If your talking about everyday situations, then retaliation to an offense is generally accepted as long as it is within the bounds of reasonability.

Of course he can say it. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be mocked for holding such opinions and stating them in public.

The First Amendment says nothing about the consequences of stupidity. Free speech? Yes. Putting your foot in your mouth? Not so much.

^^ If someone insults you, it's generally acceptable to insult them back, isn't it? Of course there's exceptional situations but I don't think this is one of them.

Are you being sarcastic, or actually agreeing with me? I honestly can't tell.

From what I know of these guys, they agree with you. So do I, I just have some sympathy for the instigator since he bit off more than he could chew.

I also think Senoir de Douchebag deserves more.

Anyway, this brightened my day.

RE:Free Speech. It works both ways. You have right to say stupid things, and I have the right to call you stupid for saying them.

And I have the right to hate you all.

Except George Takei.

Takei is awesome. But it annoys me a little that this thread was made because of some gay issues. He just is awesome, and those videos are only a small part of his awesomeness :>

"Don't listen to the douchebags of the world."

Now there's advice I can get behind.

"Wax on, wax off..." "But Mr. Miyagi, I don't see how this is helping me do Karate..." "Pubic hair is weakness, Daniel-san!"

I saw this video last night...my ribs still hurt from laughing. his deadpanning of the word "douchebag"...<giggle>

And yes, I think he's totally justified. Calling a grown man a douchebag is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more forgivable than telling or implying young people that they should kill themselves.
