Welcome to my favorites list.

people need to stop hating.

shivashakti: Great Janitor: TFA pretty much justifies my position.

No, it doesn't. Because that's not a particularly accurate viewpoint for all Christians.
Not all Christians hate gays or will boycott Oreos due to them being gay-friendly.
Many are very LGBT-friendly. It doesn't make them any less Christian.

I'm sorry that what happened to you happened to you. But it's not God's fault. Don't hate God because of it. And you were rude to the priest. Granted, you might have been in a f*ckload of pain or on meds or whatever. But you were still a dick to a guy that was trying to do what he thought was the right thing.

You could have politely said that you didn't believe and left it at that.
I hope you find peace, forgiveness, and love in your heart, man. Even if you don't believe in God, you can still believe in those other things.

I still don't see how I was really being a dick to the priest. He told me that he worships a being that I have strong issues with. He has read and re-read a book that counts how he's single handedly killed off entire populations because he wasn't happy with them, and said "You know, this is the type of chap that I want to worship."

As far as peace, love and forgiveness in my heart goes, first of all, I really hope this isn't part of "You're angry and mad because you haven't accepting a god who gets off on genocide into your heart." kind of thing, because, it's really arrogant of the Christians to honestly think that you really can't find those things outside of the christian church.

If you're not one of those people, and just hope that I've gotten over what ever it was that made me say what I said to him...no. It may be that the pain killers that I am still on have relaxed me, causing me to say what I choose to without fear of what the reaction may be. It may be that I have lost the use of my right shoulder because of that texting while driving coont and having a laundry list of things that I used to enjoy doing that I can not do has pissed me off, and pisses me off each day when, being right handed, I try to do something but can't because my right shoulder won't move.

eddiesocket: Great Janitor: eddiesocket: Great Janitor: So nice that the people who tell me that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that their god loves me, can use their Bible, which they tell me is the word of god, is used to justify so much ignorance and hate.

As for God, he's a prick. Here's why. Humans today live for not quite 100 years. But, if God doesn't feel that you can go into heaven due to your sins on Earth in life, you spend an eternity in hell. What can humans do, honestly, to justify an eternity condemned in hell being tortured (how, I don't know, your body is on Earth, do the demons in hell have special weapons designed to cause souls pain?). These are not the actions of a loving god, that's the actions of a douchebag.

About a year and a half ago I had shoulder surgery. That morning a priest entered my room before my surgery. I told him why I was there having surgery. Explained to him that a biatch was texting while driving, rear ended me, breaking nine bones while she managed to walk away. He said "My God." I responded "Your god? When you pray today, let YOUR GOD know that if he and I were to ever meet, that bastard and I are going to have words."

/I'm a gay atheist, and even I think you were an asshole to the priest. Also, I don't believe that actually happened.

It happened. I'm not a Christian. I was angry that I had to be there that day, I was angry that the hosptial thought that a CHRISTIAN was an appropriate person to send to my room. Can't be bothered to get representatives of other faiths in there, or did that hospital honestly think that everyone is a Christian???

Now, my mother, wife and sister were there when I went off on the priest. They didn't view that as my best moment. I don't think highly of the Christian faith. TFA pretty much justifies my position.

I don't understand why you couldn't just say, "I'm not religious, Father. Thanks but no thanks". Also, you seem very angry at a God you don't think exists.

I didn't say that I doubted his existance. I just said that he's a prick. And I stand by that belief 100% Look at what I said about him being a douchebag for him sending people to hell for all eternity. Not the acts of a loving god.

As for why I couldn't have just said "Not religious, no thanks", I've used that before, and no one ever takes it as a sign to leave. Especially church people. So, instead of starting with "Not religious." I jumped to the end of the argument/discussion.

Feel that warm Christian love.

Tarkus: They started boycotting General Mills last week, at this rate they are going to run out of processed foods they can buy by the end of the year.

It'll be good for them. The religious tend to be fat. I've often wondered why they are such enthusiastic gluttons, when Gluttony is one of the big sins, but I guess they blame it on glands.

Screw Chick Fil A and their bigoted ways!

/Goes great with Oreos on a Sunday afternoon

Mock26: Rainbow Oreo cookie is a complete and total FAIL!
But only if they do not actually make this cookie.

Oreo should respond to the hate by doing exactly that: a "rainbow variety pack" with normally proportioned cookies of different filling colors.

BeatrixK: Diogenes: Love the comments.

I know these people are jerks, but it really bums me out sometimes when I consider all the horrible things people think about me and other gays.

I always like to think that my love of my gays cancels out the ignorance-based of at least one and a half asstards.

My best friend was gay, and passed away 10 years ago. It makes me very sad when I think of all of the people who missed out on knowing that amazing man, simply because he loved other doods.

But then...I realize how lucky that I am that not only he, but countless other gays and lesbians who I am honored to call my friends have touched my life, and I am truly a lucky woman to call these wonderful people my friends.

If anyone is going to base their acceptance of you on something that trivial to their own existence, thank God you don't have to waste a stamp on them in December.

Well said.

So long as purple doesn't taste nasty. Companies seem to have a hard time making purple taste right. Exhibit A: the purple Spree. Such a nasty concoction doesn't deserve the name, "candy".

I'm waiting for the BDSM oreos myself.

Acceptance is so much easier than hate. It really is. Stop trying to understand everything, you gay-hating assbags on facebook. Accept and just move on, you'll feel way better....fabulous, even.

When done right, these are the pinnacle of rainbow baking science.

/whoops, needs 1 tsp. more of anti-aliasing extract

Mr. Coffee Nerves: The trend is catching on.

I stopped at the supermarket on the way home from work and saw chocolate chip cookies with package art of Mrs. Fields giving a Peruvian Llama Squat to Betty Crocker.

I have no idea what that is. My googling was futile.

Maybe it's my bitter, cynical little heart, but I can't help but think that a company rallying behind a social issue--as important as it may be--cheapens it a little bit. I can't help but think there's a group of people in a conference room somewhere saying, "Okay. Everyone's jumping on the Gay Rights bandwagon now. How do WE make some money out of this?"

Well, I was not thinking flavoring them, just coloring them, so that shouldn't be a problem.

/likes purple spree
//no, they arent 'grape', even if they are supposed to be

Homophobes almost make be embarrassed to be human until I realize that, within a few decades, they'll be as rare as the flagrant racists of yesteryear. Until then, an awful lot of people really do need a swift punch in the face.

OTOH, if the big corps are jumping in to show how supportive they are, it must mean they're no longer afraid of losing the majority of their profit base. Which means the zeitgeist is blowing the right way, doesn't it?

These reactions are amusing. To see the idiots' world views undermined just a little more by the likes of a cookie company brings me great joy. Fundies, your understanding of reality just got farked up by an Oreo.

I ate a whole box of oreos today. Do I have the ghey now?

Well I know what I'm going to snack on!

NOT OREOS!

Just joshing. I never really liked Oreos anyway. The powder would gunk up in my teeth.

kptchris: I ate a whole box of oreos today. Do I have the ghey now?

how YOU doing ?

kptchris: I ate a whole box of oreos today. Do I have the ghey now?


Ah no, you got the diabeetus. Better luck next time.

I'd rather see companies take a stand in public than hide behind a SuperPAC.

I'm going to buy a pack while I'm out shopping tomorrow.

If they release Oreos with the colored filling in those overkill proportions, I'll buy a pack for sure because that just looks cool.

NO TIME 4 GRAMMER...POSTIG ON FB

Thats it , i am buying some oreos first chancei get.

BroVinny: blowing the right way



PHRASING!

knobmaker: Tarkus: They started boycotting General Mills last week, at this rate they are going to run out of processed foods they can buy by the end of the year.

It'll be good for them. The religious tend to be fat. I've often wondered why they are such enthusiastic gluttons, when Gluttony is one of the big sins, but I guess they blame it on glands.

Technically, gluttony isn't a "Biblical" sin. The seven deadly sins are not mentioned in the bible. It is a list that came several hundreds of years later. Written by a monk, proofread by the pope. Though the spirit of the sin is spelled out on many different occasions throughout the entire thing. Grew up catholic. Now agnostic.

That said, I'm off to buy oreos and stout. this thread gave me some cravings.

\would so eat a six layer rainbow oreo

So now we can't just boycott Oreos for tasting like vanilla styrofoam between medicine-y chocolate-flavored cardboard?

SilentStrider: FloydA: ArkAngel: FloydA: Off to the store to buy Oreos.

Perhaps we can have a dunked Oreo toast when you get out to Wisconsin this August. Beer's still on me


Oreos dunked in beer? I like the way you think, 10/10 for style, but I'm not sure that flavor combo will work. ;-)

I might have to try this. Part of me thinks an oreo in guinness might be halfway good.

Part of me wonders that, too.
Makes me want to attempt to brew an oreo chocolate stout, but that sounds dumbpossible.
Hell, they have vodak in some really f'ed up flavors.

/ever drink Bailey's from a shoe?

Eshkar: New idea for a way to get some of America skinny... all of the major fast food, processed foods, snack / junk food, retail giants like walmart, ect should all come out in support of gay marriage... these fat dumb asses would boycott them and loose tons.

I beg to differ.

Just because these Fundies may publicly declare a boycott doesn't mean that they aren't sneaking off in private to get their fix.

/ sounds almost sexual...

tinfoil-hat maggie: leonel: Well I know what I'm going to snack on!

NOT OREOS!

Just joshing. I never really liked Oreos anyway. The powder would gunk up in my teeth.

I'm just guy to have more gay sex and skip the calories but if I want a cookie after my cookie well ....
; )

Don't get me wrong, gay sex is grand but Oreo's leave the worst teeth residuals I've ever eaten.

king_nacho: clowncar on fire: eddiesocket: clowncar on fire: eddiesocket: clowncar on fire: eddiesocket: clowncar on fire: In the middle you'll find those who can say "nothing wrong with being gay/straight, its just not my thing. I don't have to be gay to support your being gay anymore than you have to become straight to support my being straight.


There comes a point when you can't simply do nothing, and i would suggest that nobody cares what you support morally speaking, the question is not about morals, it is about equal rights under the law. Can you in good conscience say that it is none of your business that a person is not legally allowed to do something simply because they are different than you?

Part of the point of this country is that we are supposed to guarantee that all men are created equal, and the point of the government is to secure our individual rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. For government to define and regulate marriage, or any other activity to a group of people simply based on a religious disagreement is not only silly, it goes against the very nature of our form of government.

The other point of our government, self rule, assumes that we the general populace participate in intelligent conversations about these things and come to a resolution that protects the individual rights, but also doesn't step on the rights of others.

If somebody believes that two members of the same sex getting married is a sin against God, then that is fine, but in no way shape or form does that have any bearing on the law, and the people should have the balls to say that.

In retrospect, now that i've taken a shower and had a few moments of thought, I've concluded that we are all really missing the point here. This isn't a religious issue but rather a moral issue. Right or wrong. I am not referring to the issue of being gay/straight however. What's disturbing about the oreo cookies ad is that they have taken a traditional, tasty little snack and have morphed it into a political statement- no worse or no better than the neo-nazi's and klan members who bend the minds of innocent kids to get them to scream racial slurs for the shock value.

I should not have to think about weighty issues like sexual morality when I choose a cookie, nor should I even feel obligated to "take sides",. That is the real revulsion that this ad generates. It is an assault on a simple pleasure by alligning a product with a cause.

The religious right makes an excellant strawman as they do have this unnatural condemnation of gays, but then again, they pretty much have written off anything pleasurable that humans engage in as sinful so lets just take them out the equation for the sake of the current argument and get back on topic.

Oreos are no longer little brown and white snacks- they've grown up and have taken up the cause for the rainbow. Seriously folks? I now have to pick through my own beliefs to decide whether or not i can enjoy them at snack time? That's just wrong- no matter what the cause is.

Was there not a list earlier of all the companies and products that have come out in favor of the gay cause? For S's and G's, someone care to come up with a list of products that specifically support heterosexuality. Not just a picture of a man and a women having breakfast together on a cereal box cover, but takes up an overtly "pro-hetero" position such as vanilla cookies with pink and blue cream stuffing. If you can, I'd like that list too so I can call a general boycott on any company that attempt to politicise an issue by using a traditionally non-political product.

Better yet, I don't want or care to know who's endorsing who- just let me enjoy the simple pleasures in life without having to take a stance or cause everytime i eat a snack.

We, the consumer have been trolled. When you think Oreo cookie, you should be debating on issues like "to dunk, or not to dunk" or "chocholate vs vanilla wafer" and not bantering over the legal and moral aspects of being straight or gay.This ad haseffectively revealed the ugliness and insidious nature of sexual prejudice as well as positive conversation of right and fair. What is sad is the death of innocense: the unremarkable and non-judgemental pleasure of just enjoying a cookie.

Shame on you Kraft Foods. You want to create a product in support of a cause, be it moral, or political- go for it. But do not pervert your current line of products with personal beliefs and causes. Let us eat my cookies in peace.

This my fellow farkers is indeed a case of me disliking the messenger regardless of the message.

Carry on.

Those are very chewable cheeks. *bite*

Relatively Obscure: I guess I'll have to go buy some Oreos.

Ditto. I know they are bad for me (health-wise), but I'll buy a package just to piss off the haters.

T. Dawg: Diogenes: Love the comments.

I know these people are jerks, but it really bums me out sometimes when I consider all the horrible things people think about me and other gays.

Wow... Did your comment ever hit my "mom" nerve and wrench my heart. How anyone can hate like these people do is beyond me. Their hatred makes me sad for them, but the anguish experienced by the innocent recipients of that hatred, THAT makes me want to go Mama Bear on their asses.

Well, 'Mama Bear' got kinda ruined with Mrs. Palin, but I'm still right with you.
Why don't some people have the ability to empathize, to put themselves in the shoes of others?
I guess if you're willing to cast out your own family, your own children-
It's so sad.

Wow. You're outraged because they're standing up for the freedom and equality of all people, which gets in the way of you enjoying a snack food.

Maybe it's time more things were turned into "political weapons" in the name of humanity, of being caring and compassionate, of seeing our fellow Americans and humans as equal all around. Maybe more attention should be brought to those who need it.

But no, it makes you mad because you can't enjoy your cookies anymore. Well, I guess we'll have to keep ignoring the rights of homos and womenfolk for the sake of clowncar on fire's sugar rush.

Wanna see some idiots truly lose their shiat?

*snort*

well done sir

BroVinny: Dear Oreo,

It doesn't matter to me that you've come out of the closet. I'll still love you like I always do--by twisting off your ends, licking out your middles, clamping your ends back together then disintegrating you bit by bit with my incisors then grinding you with my molars until you're a gritty paste, then wash you down with a swallow of ice cold milk.

Love,

BroVinny

You forgot to say "No Homo," Bro.

Keizer_Ghidorah: Well, I guess we'll have to keep ignoring the rights of homos and womenfolk for the sake of clowncar on fire's sugar rush.

Wait, I'm confused. I mean, sure, it's batshiat insane to avoid junk food because of the political views of the company that makes it, but how is choosing to avoid a particular junk food "ignoring the rights of homos and womenfolk"? That doesn't make sense at all. I don't see how anyone's choice of empty calories is in any way related to securing or denying rights to anyone else.

The proudly-serves-Starbucks in a nearby bookstore has a dessert made with Oreos. I think I know what I'm having for an afternoon snack tomorrow.

damn, is this all it takes to get people to boycott food? We need to start spreading the word about some farmers being homosexuals, pro-homosexuals, atheists, believers in evolution etc. maybe they'll just stop eating altogether.

Getting mad at a company for supporting the rights of the downtrodden doesn't make any sense either, but it's a screwy world.

There is no getting around the fact that homosexuals have always enjoyed cookies.
