The original Chuck Norris jokes were sarcastic. No one thought he was much of a bad-ass, but 90% of the people who stumble across Internet memes are too stupid to understand them.

That being said, Chuck Norris is a hell of a nice guy and I wish him the best, even if he isn't a bad-ass.

You must be joking.

What has he done that you don't like? I'm not going to read through a dozen or so articles and try to guess which one you have a problem with. Going from the titles I see a lot of stuff about cancer charities, and a few articles about religion in public schools.

If its the latter, he lost that battle, just like all the other Christians.

I'm just going off of his personality. He makes a lot of USO appearances, and my best friend actually got to hang out with him and his family a few times as a teenager when Chuck rented out the bed and breakfast he worked at.

He seems pretty down to earth and nice, that doesn't mean that he doesn't hold ideas that I disagree with.

Did you not get the memo? If people hold ideas that we disagree with, we burn them.

He promotes hatred of and inequality for homosexuals, for a start.

We've reached a point in history where homophobia is at roughly the same point as racism was in the 50s and 60s. Plenty of people still espouse those hateful views...but, it's long past time for society at large to stop accepting that kind of thing as merely a "difference of opinion". Hatred of black folks is not viewed as a "difference of opinion"...it is viewed as what it is: Hatred and bigotry.

Thanks for the links. Specific complaints are much easier to digest than trying to read his entire website.

I agree that homophobia is rapidly reaching the same status as racism. It's a shame that Chuck doesn't.

I actually think Chuck Norris is pretty bad-ass. Few people achieved as much as him in martial arts.
