If so, everyone on the face of the planet should be punished because everyone on the face of the planet has made them. If you don't thing you have, stop kidding yourself, Mother Teresa.

If jesus were around in todays climate he'd be in hot water for calling someone a sinner

He said it on another thread, and he’s not at all sorry about it. Clearly he would be happy if anyone who ever said anything he finds offensive is fired. Thought police.

How do you feel about it? Even though it was many years ago do you feel she still deserves to be punished?
Its the SJW's, Feminists, Alt-Right and Pro-blacks who get offended when people say things decades ago and again resurfaces. This type of shaming is horrible. Also the groups that I have mentioned don't believe in apologizes due to the fact the apology is not sincere enough. Look at Mike Cernovich from the Alt-Right who got James Gunn fired for Pedo comments he made 10 years ago on Twitter. Sjw's, Feminists, Pro-blacks and the Alt-Right wield a lot of power in different ways, and since they hold power, employers large and small are scared of such groups and are not willing to give their employers or those they sponsor a backbone. With that said, welcome to the Culture War people.

People DON'T change, you CAN'T change your DNA. I'm not saying people should be punished for offensive remarks they made years ago. Why should people apologize for being who they are?

The term gets thrown around too much, but many of the people of that ilk are sociopathic. As such, they're not really motivated by helping the oppressed. They're motivated to look good to others and I think with some, there's more than a bit of sadism.

If that isn't mentally deranged, I don't know what is.

He will say they were saying racist things, and maybe they were. But they were apparently strangers to him. I don’t really understand the mentality. I was raised on the idea that you don’t run off and tattle on people. These are different times though. There is so much righteousness and lack of forgiveness. It’s a new Puritan age.

There is a thread here about a race car driver losing sponsors when it was revealed that his father said the n-word on the radio in the early ‘80s, well before he was born. I guess the sins of the fathers is enough these days to get people fired.

Right now we as a society are currently in an major Culture War. So those that be with money are afraid of cringe fringe groups like Feminists or the Alt-Right. People are afraid and are willing to severe ties from people they employ. Since we are in an Culture war, people will bring out pitch forks in a mob, and are outrage thus demanding some form of Justice.

That's awful. How can anyone be proud of something so immoral. Maybe kharma will rear it's ugly head for him as well.
