Ken Hutcherson, the former Dallas Cowboys linebacker turned reverend, is encouraging people to buy up Microsoft stock so they can vote down the company's "homosexual agenda." Huh!?!?

An advocate of a "biblical stance" against divorce and homosexuality, Mr. Hutcherson, 55, is asking millions of evangelical activists, as well as Orthodox Jewish and other allies, to buy up Microsoft shares and demand a return to traditional values.
 
Well you gotta give the guy points for pluckiness. I'm not sure what the MS diversity policy consists of, but this isn't the first time they've drawn flack from Christian conservatives. I'll just continue in my long time policy of avoiding any action that puts money in MS coffers. If it coincidentally helps out this guy, well bully for him.
 
Mr. Hutcherson just wants his MS stock to go up. This is the new evangelical 'homosexual pump and dump' scheme... err...
 
So...lets see, first we invest money in microsoft to gain control, but in doing so we give them rediculous amounts of money...YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE...
 
A few too many hits to the head their, eh Ken? Keep the faith Brother, as you're going to need plenty of divine intervention when the rather unpleasant folks from the SEC come knocking at your door...

Talk about hypocracy. You either believe in your religion or you don't. It's not ok for Microsoft to accept homosexuals (which, incidentally is never mentioned in the Gospel), but it's ok to ally yourself with anti-Christs (which IS mentioned in the Gospel).

Oh man, this thread is full of laughs. :p
 
Hutcherson should run for president. He actually makes some pretty good points about the homosexual agendas that corporations, not just Microsoft, are pushing.

Divine Intervention, played live by Slayer, in front of this mans house, at deafening volume.
 
the worst kind of Religious figure is the kind that tries to force their word onto someone else

this may end up being an inquisition for Microsoft!!!

Bill better watch his cornhole

QFT, that's pretty much the reason why I turned from religion altogether.

Bill doesn't need to watch his cornhole. He's got enough money to make the Christian conservatives go away permanently without anyone noticing.

And for those who think Bill will give them money to shut up.. your wrong :D

they cant even get it through their heads that a female pope would be acceptable. So don't hold your breath ;)
 
I just wanted to thank everyone who has come out (no pun intended) against this. It shows that Geeks:) are more educated than others. I live in Kalamazoo, MI now and a Professor at Western Michigan University did a study that showed that most men that are against gays are really bisexual or gay themselves. He showed porn videos to guys that identified as being gay, bisexual, and straight. He used a device that measured growth of the penis. The most anti-gay (what to go and beat them up types) were the most likely to become aroused by the gay videos. He said that those who identified as straight, but had nothing negative to say about gays were not even aroused by the bisexual and gay videos.

I say this, if you are HELL bent on getting rid of us, you need to see a psychatrist. You have issues that need to be dealt with.

I didn't choose to be this way. Who in their right mind would want to be hated that much? I have been in the same relationship for the past 11 years.

We can't get married, which I am against, but when we argue, it is about tiny things and than it is settled. Tell me of a male and female partnership that can say that?


Please excuse the spelling. I couldn't get the spell checker plugin to work!

How's that inquisition thing going over there?

Seriously, you're really confused. Perhaps you're not aware of Jews for Jesus or the very large intersection of Jewish and Christian values. If religion is a vehicle for self improvement and living in accordance with divine law then that makes a lot of sense. The only paradigm under which what you said makes any sense is the same one that accepts the crusades, jihad, and midwest Creatism fanaticism.

You probably didn't get the memo, but Judas kinda did turn Jesus in.

Regardless, I'm not anti-anything. You can shove that inquisition remark deep. I was merely pointing out the fact that he's having the cake and eatting it too.

I'm not gay but in college I knew of somebody that was. He wasn't feminine and didn't "act gay". He thought his family would be supportive but when he told them while he was in High School, they threw him out on the streets and basically disowned him. He was working hard to pay his way through college. He would cry and wished for his family back when he would tell this story. He would say he didn't choose to be gay as well.

My Mom pisses me off when she says that "they" choose to be that way, they are disgusting, etc...

lets call it southern midwestern.



generally the people who parade anti-homexuality are the same ones condeming the jews for killing jesus. fundamentalist mindset.


and religion, when it becomes news, rarely is about self improvement.

Well I wouldn't say that the Orthodox Jew community is the anti-christ. In fact the Jewish people were God's chosen, and it doesn't elaborate who are the other groups are. It would be a little rash to say he's allying with the anti-Christs for those two reasons alone.

I agree with the Rev. on this one. I don't believe in forcing your beliefs on others however. While I don't agree with the homosexual way of living, I don't hate the men/women who are.

This man is taking his belief and making a stand. I think that's noble in a world where we have to stay completely tolerant to everyone and everything that someone acts/believes/says. We all have our opinions, but when someone stands his ground to just share and stand for something, everyone that doesn't agree calls them narrow minded or just foolhardy.

Maybe his methods aren't the greatest.. not sure I'm not in the financial business. I'm at least glad to see someone stand up for what they believe in.

If it was the opposite way around and someone for the homosexual community stood up for what they believe in too, well good for them as well. When a company operates in its own walls and attempts to help minorities out within the company I'm for that. It just seems that when they extend their boundaries further into the public arena with their diversity is where I don't agree.

Just my thoughts. ;)

Puts up flame shield :confused:

Which part the can't get married or the one about making a relationship work?
 
Considering the fact that I'm "Catholic Light"....

Lemme get this straight.. you will go straight to hell if you have homosexual relations (Insert Clinton Voice)., but, if your a priest / bishop / whatever and you twiddle young boys, (isn't that a smidgeon homosexual?), you can do a ring-around-the-rosary, light a candle, and all will be forgiven??

Dunno.. this seems more retarded that the average Ati/nVidia or AMD/Intel debate.... but I've been proven wrong before....

Most gays are just like everyone else. I like to go fishin and hunting. I am sorry about your friend. I started a youth group here for the youth and some of the parents wanted them out of the house that day. We had a network of safe homes for them to goto. But most of the parents said that they know back before they started school. I wish those parents that knew will not hide the fact from the kids and then act suprised when they tell them.
 
I'd be annoyed if I hadn't already come to terms with the fact that shit like this from both sides keep our country from tipping too far over onto one side of the rails...wooo, apathy!
 
Addendum: (Can't seem to edit my post)

The question I freq. pose to individuals like that is: Why are you SOOOO interested in injection your opinion of what a relationship is, much less what their opinion of what is "right", "wrong", or otherwise. I sincerely wish that these individuals would spend a fraction of their time / effort / spirituality in cleaning up their own lives. Those who protest the most, are generally the worst if you look at who they really are underneath the voice & drama. Ignorance seems to be the loudest when in groups of 2 or more...


Or less if you watch Maury.

Its not a smidgeon homosexual. Rape and molestation is 99% more about power and control.

I'll admit I'm not schooled in the beliefs of Judism. The poster above you was right about the upbringing part and not quite right on location. I'm a Chicagoian, so you get half the points for saying midwesterner :p

I was brought up beliving that Jews killed Christ. I never disputed it, nor have I ever bothered looking it up. I simply don't care. The only thing I really care about is that there is a God. Jesus is just easymode ;)

Anyways, it's one thing to take a stand on your beliefs and he can be anti-gay all he wants and nobody would mind.. alot of pastors and bishops and imams and rabbi and popes are anti-gay and we all know this already. But to shove your beliefs down people's throat with threats.. don't you think that's a little.. well.. fucking stupid?

You can't MAKE someone believe. You have to convince them with reason and proof and logic and sometimes faith. That's the entire definition of belief.

On a humorous note, how many of you think he uses Windows and Word to type up his treatsies and use many other Microsoft products? :p

Oh, that site is done in XML too.. another creation of Microsoft, wasn't it?

Both!!! I have so many female friends that talk about it that I get sick of it. They want to change their man.

I tell them that they can't change him, they have to include his cologne with their purfume. It is a two way street. You have to think like the other person.

That is way those that are in committed gay relationships work. We basicly think alike. We are more flexible. ( I don't mean what you are thinking):D

I totally agree, however your missing the sheer hypocrisy of it. Thats the point. Now, with regards to the psychology / etiology of an individual committing that act, thats a whole different thread, and I really don't want to hijack this. I agree with you, but the silliness of the Catholic faith with regards to this (and other issues) never cease to bother me. Self-righteousness, cheat beating, soapbox pounding silliness.
