Anonymous Coward User ID: 70238440 United States 04/08/2016 11:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just wanted to tell ebay that I have cancelled my paypal account. I have been a member since 1996. I live in North Carolina and I will not support a company that bullies a state. I agree with Govenor McCory and I stand by his recent decision concerning the LGBT ruling. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30229489 [link to community.ebay.com] Thank you for posting this, I had been thinking about it but you triggered me into actually closing my account. It feels damn good too. Don't really NEED Paypal in my life. Some of us also would like to eventually stop using credit cards, for various reasons including that credit card companies help fuel the consumer society. What would we do if all we had were debit cards and no other means of electronic payment systems? |

North Carolina has a few thousand red-necked assholes, and a few of those MIGHT have Paypal accounts. So , . Fair number of them? LOL I guess you could say 1-2% would be a fair number...sure that is a fair number lol. LGBT are 1-2% of the worlds population running around dictating their itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny bullshit agenda. What a bunch of fags. |

That's pretty rare in 2016, and I applaud NC for rejecting the carrot dangled in front of them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71962425 Now. Anyone want to speculate on what the response would have been had Gaypal been set to bring, say, 3,800 jobs to NC? I wonder if NC would have had a change of heart re: its protective legislation. 3800 HIV-positive Gaypal employees? Was I talking to you shit for brains? WELL, WAS I TALKING TO YOU? I don't think so...so STFU scumbag, nobody wants to hear your retarded bullshit. |

davvi User ID: 3677166 United States 04/08/2016 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love European morons who have no idea why North Carolina HAD to past this law. As I understand it, Charlotte passed a law which allowed men or women to use any bathroom they felt like based on what gender they identified with on any given day. The Charlotte law was a great gift for sexual predators, and would you ever feel safe allowing your daughter, your wife, sister or even your mother using the facilities where who knows how many men are lurking? No one is afraid of transgender, that isn't the issue, the issue was the broad scope of the original law and how it could be abused. You fucking asshole, you are really quite cavalier with the safety of our children to accommodate who, 0.01% of the population? Stay our of our business Europe. |

Old, Out Fag User ID: 71951502 United States 04/08/2016 03:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | YIPPEE! Another ridiculous and obnoxious boycott by the Gay community. And: please notice I didn't use the equally-idiotic LGBT abbreviation. More about that, later! Gay boycotts? How boring. Back in the 80's the San Francisco Gay Community [I was living there at the time] began a national boycott of Coors beer due to allegedly discriminatory hiring practices. Made a HUGE, shrill noise about it - even garnered national press as a result. But the result was merely that you couldn't buy a Coors beer in any Gay bar in the Bay area [and a few other scattered Gay-dense cities]. Everywhere else in the country you could still buy Rocky Mountain water... it was a damned-fine beer, but I had to learn to like Budweiser as a result of the boycott. The result was that although the overall sales revenue of Coors beer was not impacted that much, they did a PC-dance and reworded their corporate policy. The truth is, socially-based boycotts just DON'T work - ask the Sierra Club or Greenpeace, both of whom have wasted millions in organizing them! Now: back to "LGBT". As I claim, I am an old, out fag [62 years old with over 40 of them as a Gay activist] and am just as disgusted today as I was three decades ago when suddenly we just HAD to INCLUDE everybody! First, it was the women's coalitions who screamed loudly that it wasn't JUST Gay!! We needed their money, so we had to add Lesbians to our "official" appellation. Then the hardcore Kinsey devotees decided everybody was a little bit Gay so we had to add Bisexuals and we became the LGB community [notice that in the process the Lesbians ALSO shoved themselves to the front of the lineup, claiming that right as child-bearers! An Earth-Mother movement... I kind you not!]. But, we weren't done, yet! Next came the Trannies. And you can see where that whole thing has gone with a new proliferation of presence in places they should NOT be. It's already tough enough to be a kid in today's society without having to comprehend the nuances of human sexuality at a young age. Hell: don't we have enough ADULTS with sexual hangups without adding a generation of kids into the mix? Let me be very clear: I have always insisted that there be clear-cut separation between children and sexuality. PERIOD. Back in the late 70's -when I saw my first Gay Parade in SF- I was appalled at the number of confused children being hauled down Market Street by their proud parents. Still bugs me today. In those 40 years that I sat on committees and Boards of Directors on behalf of various Gay communities I endlessly argued that the one thing we should avoid were specific identifiers such as LGBT [or whatever the next may turn out to be]. The original, simple "Gay" was good enough and fully inclusive. Enough, already! One final note: I fully retired from actively supporting the Gay community about 5 years ago. After four decades where I knew and worked with true Gay icons it was clear where it was going and I wanted nothing further to do with it. So, today I won't lift one finger or spend one penny in support of the movement I helped steer so long ago. |
