Coach Daubenmire whines christians are being bullied by not being allowed to bully



This one makes me want to just split my seams. I was a teenage runaway at 16 from a redneck town where bullying of the one known "faggot" (guess who!) made me choose life on the streets over being punched, shoved, kicked, degraded and treated like shit every day. No it did not make me tougher. The streets did, it just made me hungry when I couldn't dumpster dive for enough food.
I was major PTSD'd for years, and sort of still am, but have had some major therapy about past traumas that was very helpful.
I hope the video will work here, it keeps getting removed for copyright infringement. If not, just paste:
Dave Daubenmire bully
into You Tube and it will come right up.

Girls are just as much of targets as boys are. Bullies are all about force.

He comes across as a bully himself, no wonder he is out there protecting bullies.

But apparently "Coach" sees TEH GAYS and sissies as his pet targets. It's like he's telling us what he sees in the rohrschach ink blot about the increasing weariness of all types of bullying in general.

To paraphrase Coach jackass: Oh, now they're telling me I can't call them sissies faggots anymore? That's unchristian!!!

Re this video.

However, none of my keystrokes show up and the 'post' button does not work either.

WTF?

How many GLBT kids have committed suicide after these monsters goaded their families, neighbors and schoolmates into bullying and harassment?

How many kids have ended up like you, homeless, because they were driven out of their hometowns due to the hate being spewed by reptiles like Daubenmire?

How many are dead? There's no count, but I'm sure it could be in the millions.

And all with a super-right wing bent to them. I couldn't even stomach much research on this dipshit: I found out he does do some charitable activity, yet all the while claiming all welfare is against some biblical passage.

We need our bullies to be able to stand up to the pressure (social guidelines, normal standards of behavior, laws, etc.) imposed on them by an biased population. So help them achieve their full potential as paragons of the near mindless application of violence by standing on their necks.

Is it too early for Scotch?

I have PTSD too from from an abusive redneck stepfather.

I've givin up on shit heads like Daubinmire. These people don't ever change. I'm currently surrounded by dumb fuck Mormons from my wife's side.

Exactly the same as Daubinmire.

Where's the fucking rapture already, geebus.

Take Care of Yourself my friend, as you know, no one else will.

So we're on our way to Costco and we see some guy standing outside on the sidewalk with a sign that says "please pray for the self righteous Christians".

We live in a very Republican area and my wife and I are thinking WTF, is he being honest or sarcastic? Then we remember one of the churches around our area was hosting tent city for a few months. That very church he was standing in front of. Apparently some members of the church didn't approve of the tent city and were opposed to it. I don't if the guy was a member of the church or not but his sign all of a sudden made sense.

There you go, Christian hypocrisy for the all the world to see.

Man these guys are just fuckin insane.

17. Odd thing about my dad being abusive

Is that his own mother would be so ashamed of it. After I got caught by a truant officer and emancipated, sent to my aunt and uncle's in So. Cal to live till I turned 18. But I got to help care for my grandmother, half native creek. She drove it home to me to never trust christians, because they enslaved, tortured and murdered my ancestors who wouldn't conform to their ways. My Aunt was very sensible too, and nonjudgemental about me being "different". Uncle kinda grumbled but accepted me, didn't want me to go back to idiot redneck-town either. Together they taught me more practical things about life than my parents ever did, helped me finish school and supported me getting on my own feet and into my own home, humble as it was on a busboy's income!
So many christians will insist with incredible fervor that I made a "choice" to be gay. It goes against everything both my older brothers observed about me since infancy-- they knew-- long before I figured that out myself! Here's the question I stump many of them with:
"So when did you decide to be straight?"
Jaw drop.... cricket... cricket... cricket... then usually some odd, admonishing, "I was born normal" rant.

It's not easy to give that to people once they've been abused. For me and how I'm teaching my daughter is that what's inside is what counts. Not, race, religion, or sex (Male or Female, or Gay, Or Lesbian, I'm still trying to keep it simple cause she's only in second grade)

I'm so happy you turned things around, it's extremely easy to feel hopelessness when your living on the streets. I did it for only a week until my stepfather gave into my moms incessant crying. Even though, my mother had her moments too. She's very Christian baptized Roman Catholic ( I think I am too?) But turned into a redneck like my F'ed up Republican stepfather.

My stepfather wasn't religious, he was just a stupid redneck from Jersey. I'm sure I'm supposed to find some forgiveness in there somewhere cause I'm sure he had it hard too, but he started into me somewhere between 3 and yrs old, all the way until I left the house for good. Close to 16 years of constant physical, verbal, emotional abuse. I was getting good grades and graduated high school (I don't know if he got his GED) and it was still non stop, "you don't know shit, your worthless, etc..." never ended. Until I stopped it.

Long story short (I know it's getting long),
He grabbed me by the neck and I was on top if him in less than a second, it happened so fast. I never hit him and I walked away, then I got kicked out for a week (never really wanted to go back).

Stay yourself brother, the world needs more compassion, not more hate. You were even more brave than me to just leave and struggle on your own.
