    Would you have been fired for calling Chad a p***y?

    Yeah... You don't get it. Were I in Montrose yelling it at gays, that's hate.

    Didn't get fired. You obviously don't know my industry.

    You said you got terminated. Explain the difference.

    Would you have been terminated if you called Chad a p***y?

    I guess I'm not on your intellectual level as clearly I don't "get it".

    In your mind, is it OK when you and your buddies are sitting around talking to call gays f*****s because they aren't within earshot?

    You don't see how it's offensive to use f***** as an insult? What do your gay friends think about you using ****ing f***** to insult someone?

    @bobrek, you need to apologize immediately. FFB was name calling. Now, I doubt this was sanctioned, but I think it's only proper to give FFB the same leeway you would give someone who was name calling in a pro/semi-pro event.

    Do women get banned for saying men are stupid?

    I just went on Facebook and posted "Women are stupid". We'll see if I get banned. After a week with no banning, I'll post "Men are stupid" to see what happens.

    After another week, I'll post "Chad is a ****ing f*****". Since I'm not saying it on Montrose I suspect I won't get banned.

    You're not a woman, but your strategy is valid on a lesser level than my thesis

    For some reason your post compelled me to go on Facebook. You are now blocked.

    I was a software guy for 35 years. I have to test things.

    I may have to sign up for Facebook just to block him.

    That was a joke that I guess flew off and crashed into my face, which is the case most of the time. I meant I blocked @bobrek here, but I wouldn't do that.

    You'd have to be my Facebook friend first. Not sure if you'd make the cut. :)

    We have contracts with 2 dozen carriers. One of those termed me because I got pissed off at them taking back over $7,000 that we were owed. We still have lawyers looking at it. In the meantime, my partner had all of our agents placed underneath his license. The other 20+ are still under my license.

    It was knee-jerk on both of our ends, but Chad started it by raising his voice immediately. I spoke with several other people there with no issues.

    You're older than me. It's been used as an insult since I was a kid. And, no. I would never say something derogatory to an actual gay. Don't know many at all, though.

    It always amazes me that top athletes would rather go to a shithole like Lubbock rather than a wonderful place like San Marcos @DaDakota .

    Obviously athletes strongly disagree. Don't think I've ever seen Southwest in contention for anything.

    I agree. And it blows my mind. More women than men and a beautiful campus. Meanwhile tech is fat chicks and cow pies.
