Adam, you’re still a douchebag. It’s still all about you.
A real man would have gone back to that store and apologized to her face and asked for her forgiveness in person. And a real man would have kept what he did to himself. A real man wouldn’t make an 8 minute long video of it and certainly not post it for the public viewing.
I don’t know you, Adam Smith, but I’ve known dozens of people just like you throughout my life. You’re a vain, narcissistic, self centered little man who doesn’t give a rat fart about other people no matter how loudly you claim otherwise. You’re a self-aggrandizing snot so wrapped up in your own insecurities you’re completely blinded to the pain you cause others.
I’ll bet there was a huge collective sigh of relief when your former co-workers saw you being escorted out of the building carrying a cardboard box full of your personal belongings.
I had hoped that this incident might teach you something. After all the most painful lessons are the ones rational humans, and even animals, tend to learn from best. But after sitting through half of that painful and pathetic joke of an apology I can see you haven’t learned a damned thing.
Adam, I’ve watched a lot of folks just like you go down in flames over the course of my life. The best part of it is they do all of the work and I just have to stand by and watch it happen. You, Mr. Smith, have provided what is perhaps the singularly best example of that anyone has ever seen.
For that I thank you. Now please, Mr. Smith, do us all a favor. Shut up and go away until you learn some real humility.
Love,
L
Ah, you probably are better than them. Come on, admit it. :) I’ve been to many FReeps over the years. Our side does not flip people off and use vile language in front of their kids. Our side does not leave trash all over the ground. Our side does not do damage to property. Our side does not urinate or even crap in the street. We really are better than them.
Interesting find. There are certainly many with that last name. Could that really be his wife?
Again, please: what term(s) is(are) inoffensive to you?
Yes, we all fail sometimes. Hating the sin is what we are commanded to do. There may be exceptions, but I’ve come to believe that homosexuals are born with the desire they have. The ideal is a mom and a dad raising kids. I feel badly for them that they can’t have that. God will ultimately judge them and how they lived their lives. If they were born with something wrong with them, or different in them to be a little more kind, He will probably take that into consideration. Live and let live. Just stay out of our faces with disgusting public demonstrations and don’t force us to change the definition of marriage.
He didn’t lose it. He just expressed who he really is.
I take your point.
I will let you decide and withdraw my request. We can make strong arguments against policies such as minority set asides as being not in the interest of society. If we use the N word in our commentary, we have lost the argument. We can make strong arguments in defense of marriage. If we use a term such as faggot, it might make us feel good, but we have lost the argument.
We can look at it different ways here and still get along.
From the excellant article being discussed on this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2914293/posts thread:

Maybe Mr Smith can get a job at Chick-Fil-A. :-)
It really is hard to tell when FReepers are joking. Even harder when it comes to matters like this. For all I/we know he could be the main star of Glee.
He said he was sorry the moment he spoke the words to the CFA worker. And he STILL posted the video to YouTube? Does not compute.
Insult a captive Chick-Fil-A drive-in window worker on-video over Gay Marriage

Lose your job
Receive death threats

Make a humuliating 8 minute public apology on YouTube in a failing attempt to redeem your self-shredded reputation.
PRICELESS
No one is insulting their humanity -it is all about the activity they chose to engage in and promote. There is nothing good; nothing to be respected regarding faggotry. Calling 'them' gay is contributing to their delusion and self destruction.
The firing was absolutely justified and he paid the price very quickly. But I do not like the death threats and being forced from his home. That’s not right, especially with four kids, two of whom have special needs (if those reports are correct).
There are a few reasons we do not use the N word, one of which is that it dilutes our argument. That is how I feel about using the term “faggot.” If you believe that using such terms in making your argument gets more people to listen to your side and will help change minds, keep doing what you are doing.
Leftist aka progressive perverted homosexuals feel saying your sorry fixes everything. This pervert is not going to undo what he did to an innocent person. A person saying they are sorry for their actions. Is like trying to call back bullets after you fired them. It has no effect on the damage you did.
yay, that decision was probably forever.....
What an intellectual.
Hey, maybe there is a God.
I believe you miss my point.
What you said was that “we” - FReepers - were “better” than “that”, ie better than to use language you disapprove of to describe or identify homosexuals. You were not comparing FReepers to non-FReepers, nor to events or attitudes outside the forum itself. You were comparing individual FReepers to some ideal image you have of FReepers.
There’s inherently nothing wrong with that. People criticize each other routinely, here and elsewhere, and can do it in a variety of ways. My preference is for a more straightforward statement, such as, “I don’t like it when you use language that I morally disapprove of on a thread I’ve started,” or, “Quit using the term ‘faggot’, you Neanderthal,” or, “Hey come on guys, let’s try to keep the language clean and respectful here.”
Your statement is not factual: We’re NOT better than that. I don’t, but people here DO use language like that, and it serves the purpose of language just fine. If the language is not up to some PC standard you’d like to see here, just say so - “We OUGHT to be better than that.”
Maybe we OUGHT to, maybe not. We can discuss that. But most people do not like for other people to define them, and to do so in a morally superior way that uses shame and our need to belong in a manipulative way, and that’s what this little, often-used-here phrase does. You can get away with this with a young child who hasn’t caught on to it yet, but I think the crowd here is immune to such tactics.
It’s a phrase I often hear Leftist politicians use manipulatively. In fact, I first caught on to it when I heard it cleverly used by Governor Cuomo years ago. Listen to them: they’re always saying, “We’re better than that as a people. The American people are better than that. The people of the fine State of New York are better than that. The proud people of Manhattan are better than that.” No, they’re NOT better than that - just gullible enough not to have grown up and figured out this manipulation.
‘Nough said.
