Sirius also has no obligation to support someone who's racist either. This isn't about them "punishing" him it's about them separating themselves from someone who's ideology is so dramatically apposed to their own that they can no longer continue their relationship.

You're not entitled to your job and if you are the face of your company your values need to be in line or else you are no good to them.

I was admittedly on the fence about who to side with here, but the part about Chemda and microwave ovens causing cancer pushed me over the edge. Keith wins! Trust me, y'all: you can still live a rich and full life without having to look at terrible nazi tattoos.

You lied to me!

Yes. This is the internet.

The next step is you calling me a faggot and posting 1v1 me IRL pics.

Sounds dreamy.

I guess the view from your ivory tower must be wonderful on a clear morning.

Thanks to wankers like you, who spend all their time ensuring no one contravenes their self-appointed guidelines, we are moving towards a brave new world of Scottopia.

@ Scat - Seriously dude... you turned Keith off of Canada? #unlike

Yeah, my ivory tower of not wanting to be around racists. Where's the line where you decide to cut someone out of your life, Scum? My line is bigotry. And dudes who wear bluetooth headsets.

My line is cunts who reply to posts without quoting them.


EDIT: Dante Nero is proud of his BT headset. So if I have to decide to be on team Dante or team pasty-white-druglord, I'm going with the big D.

I really did give you a shout-out, jared, and a handful of other people, until I realized I was speaking to a dial tone.

Let's be honest... It was going to happen eventually.

I think a lot of people confuse (purposefully or not) freedom of speech with voicing out your prejudice, and that's the rub. We should be able to say what we want, but once that is a speech of hate, that's not freedom of speech, it's just hate.
