I... I can't even come up with a clever response to this. Fail on so many levels.

Oh no, an insurance company takes account who the owner is! Quick, boycott them for having sensible policies!

I might just buy a MetLife policy just to negate this FreepTard now.
4. Would one have to physically participate in sexual acts of members of the same sex qualify for these special rights, or would staring at a dude in spandex for ten seconds be enough for their terms?
You stare at dudes in spandex every Saturday and Sunday you depraved faggot.
I also wonder if he has a problem with the "disabled veteran" portion. After all, they're a minority group and are apparently subject to receiving "special privileges" from the liberal Nazis at MetLife. Social conservatives are useless.

That's what losers usually say about Jews, so according to this guy's spoken and unspoken prejudices gay Jews must really be rolling in the money.

why the hell *should* minority/women/gay owned businesses get special treatment? i'm sure fstdt would throw a fit if the question was 'is this a christian owned business?'

Nobody's even sure if they get special treatment. It could just be a voluntary question for the purpose of customer demographics/information gathering.

is this something MetLife is doing on their own? If so, I intend to boycott them forever more
How dare they be all-inclusive?
(although I'll take their money for this or any other sales)
Of course. Their gay money isn't tainted enough for you to keep your hands off it.
All I know, is that many times I've been in a rest stop along the highway, I've found writing on the walls that says "be here at 12:30 am at such and such date for (sick sexual act). When I was younger, I thought it was just some pervert joking around. Now I'm pretty sure those bathroom proposals are indeed sincere. It just amazes me these bathroom writers should get any special treatment.
Do you know why gay men have to meet for sex in public restrooms? It's because most straight people like you have demonized them and tried to keep them marginalized so that they have to arrange secret meetings for sex instead of being able to live in an open, monogamous gay relationship. So they have sex in public restrooms instead of in private bedrooms. And I'm willing to bet that a lot, if not most, of these men are in heterosexual marriages.

Why would this site throw a fit? This site is just against fundies, not all religious people (this site has non-fundie theists as users in addition to atheists and agnostics).

1. That's because the government is IMPROVING its approach to dealing with oppressed groups, like minorities, women, and LGBT people. Of course, you already said you hate that the minorities and women are getting help, so you're clearly a racist and a sexist too; not terribly unusual for you to be a homophobe as well.
2. It's not a question of giving them special advantages, it's a question of protecting them from discriminatory assholes like you.
3. Irrelevant.
4. What the hell is wrong with you?
Also, I gotta start checking out your highways.

My thoughts MNDude?
You spend too much time and energy trying to cover up your deeply closeted homosexuality.
As a hetrosexual I simply dont notice the areas on forms where our GLBT freinds are supposed to fill out. And I dont fantasize about gay men having sex.

1. I think you don't have to number your sentences, especially when you're answering your own questions.
2. I think insurance companies don't give anyone special treatment, unless they live in an underground bunker or something like that.
3. I think it's a marketing question, so they can claim the cachet for doing business with those demographics - as if they would turn down a premium check from Satan himself.
4. I think you're a pernicious little toad.
Enough thoughts for you?

'Then at the bottom, the questionnaire says "Whether Minority Owned / Women Owned / Disabled Veterans / LGB-LGBT Owned." Yes, LGB, LGBT, which I'm pretty sure is referring to LESBIAN, GAY, BI, TRANSEXUAL"'
No? Really? Perhaps you can regale us with your thoughts on what ASAP and CIA stand for, while you're at it.
"If so, I intend to boycott them forever more (although I'll take their money for this or any other sales)"
What part of 'boycott' do you not understand? There's no such thing as 'semi-boycott'. It's an all-in statement or nothing. (Not that MetLife would really feel the loss of your patronage.)
"It's no secret that the gay community is much more economically prosperous than the average American"
I don't like to use the phrase much, but goddamn citation goddamn needed, goddamnit.
"When I mentioned we were a small business, we got a response asking to show proof of this. How does one prove themselves to be Gay or Bi? Would one have to physically participate in sexual acts of members of the same sex qualify for these special rights, or would staring at a dude in spandex for ten seconds be enough for their terms?"
I'm pretty sure they can tell by your photo that you're an inbred hick, and will refrain from handing you any more questionnaires containing questions too hard for you to understand.
"Your thoughts?"
You're an idiot. Being that's the case, you're definitely right for FreeperLand. Shine on, you moronic, bigoted diamond.

I also like how he connects LGBT business owners with "bathroom writers", as if they're always the same people by default. There are many, many monogamous gay couples out there.
Who knows, maybe if he explores the real world where real people live a little more, he might discover that there are plenty of straight people who engage in the kind of behavior he's describing.

My first thought on the question of ownership was that certain demographics would be a higher liability to the insurance company. Depending on where and what the business is, those owned by ethnic minorities, women, and openly LGBT people are subject to prejudice, loss of customers, vandalism, and destruction of property.

Yeah I'm fairly sure that's an information-gathering question and has no bearing on how the business is actually treated by the insurance company. There are some situations where being minority-owned might pose more risk to the business, but most of the time it's a statistical question. Don't get your panties in a bunch before you even find out if the "special treatment" exists. And sometimes it may even be NEGATIVE special treatment because as just pointed out, being a bigger risk means you pay a bigger premium.
Oh no wait, this is Free Republic, home of the permanently-persecuted straight white Christians.

If you're taking MetLife's money, then you're kinda...not boycotting them. Also, MetLife is, as far as I know, a privately owned company and can make up their own policies about whom they serve. If you look at their Corporate Ethics page on their website, they take care to emphasize that their policy is to build financial freedom for everyone. I'm sure that if you shopped around, MNDude, you could find a more bigoted insurance company to meet your needs.

my thought is that you're a morally bankrupt piece of shit bigot who doesn't even have the conviction or dedication to refuse money given to you by a company whose beliefs you oppose. You sicken me, at least most fundies aren't so shamelessly greedy to put the almighty dollar ahead of their god. Bow before Mammon, you hellbound commandment breaker, for money is your false idol.

First of all, I'm pretty sure it's Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender. But I'll let that one slide.
1. MetLife can set up their own criteria. Besides it's a questionnaire. They're probably not giving LGBT special treatment. Chances are they're simply collecting data.
2. They're not. And anyway, [citation needed].
3. If they were giving LGBT special treatment. this would be a fair point. But once again, I doubt they're giving LGBT special treatment.
4. WTF?

My thoughts? Yet another heterosexual male who likes to think (fantasize?) about the "sick sexual act" or acts that homosexuals engage in. Staring at a dude in spandex for 10 seconds? Do you time yourself, if you only stare for 9 seconds are you ok with your heterosexual identity?
Do these men not realize that the louder you proclaim yourself as anti-homosexual the further you move from homophobic to closeted homosexual?

yes, DAMN THOSE GAYS FOR BEING GIVEN CIVIL RIGHTS!!!
I think you're one of those people that still believes in segregation, just in a different form. But at the end of the day, you still sound just like:
"This is new...and SICK!
Recently I did business with MetLife.
As with many large businesses, I had to fill out a vendor questionnaire. The questionnaire contained typical questions like: "Type of commodity/Services the vendor is providing. "Whether MetLife employee/ Ex MetLife employee, etc."
Then at the bottom, the questionnaire says "Whether Women Owned / of African descent Owned." Yes, 'Of African descent' which I'm pretty sure is referring to NIGGERS.
I've always been annoyed about having special rights going to the Minority and Women Owned businesses, but from my understanding, these are "disadvantaged businesses" that need extra assistance.
I have a couple of questions I really need answered:
1. I have never heard of any government law(s) federal state making this any criteria for doing business. Last time I checked Niggers were 3/5 of an Aryan. Does anyone know if there is any laws on the books, or is this something MetLife is doing on their own? If so, I intend to boycott them forever more.
2. It's no secret that the nigger community is much less economically prosperous than the average American, so what is the reasoning for giving special advantages to them?
3. If you were a partner to a nigger businessman, would one have to physically participate in miscegenation to qualify for these special rights, or would staring at a negro female in spandex without vomiting for ten seconds be enough for their terms?
Your thoughts?"
