Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

How are you guys any different if you are wishing death and violence on these stupid people?

I would not be adverse to putting a bullet hole in Shirley Phelps head.

Where can I apply for the job?
 
Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

They are lawyers, anyway I think the founder and his loud mouth daughter are, so they use the system in their favor.

They are scum that have brainwashed themselves into thinking they are doing good and doing God's work.

yeah, i read that somewhere about the main leader being some 80 year old lawyer. :lol: he's disbarred though. obviously, he sucks @ doing his job.
 
Re: Westboro Scum to Protest in Newtown.

Does “simple common sense and decency” apply to this circumstance?

I think the courts failed us as a people. I believe this behavior is emotional terrorism on the families in grief for no reasonable gain. They do have the right to say whatever filthy repulsive content they want but they do not have the right to terrorize.

I wonder did the courts ever rules for the mistreatment of slaves? Did they ever rule that homosexuals are second class citizens or rather not overturn laws that made that sort of thing effective?

The SCOTUS is fallible.

WBC needs to be destroyed. Their freedom of speech does not include the right to inflict mental anguish on the suffering people. If the court decision was 8-1, then your courts are corrupt and screwed up.
 
Re: Westboro Scum to Protest in Newtown.

It would be better if these people just 'disappeared'.

These idiots just push the limits of free speech too far.

I understand freedom on speech. It's your right to protest as a gay person when others are against you. The problem is that they use it as a loophole to cause hate and misery. Some protect that right, but even with freedom of assembly you just can't arrange a mob to march down a busy road. They know what they are doing and I'm sure they get permits where needed and alert the police to protect them.
 
Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

There is a such a thing as common sense.

I believe our country has fallen too much in love with idealism, and not embraced the idea of common sense.

Common sense is not a barometer of what is appropriate and not appropriate from a legal setting of the rule of law. It is merely a similar collective of thought and behavior norms to a designated group of people. For example, common sense would dictate in Saudi Arabia that a woman must wear a burkha to cover her person from the lustful temptations of men around her. An ideal of gender equality universally applies to all women that they have the freedom to act and behave the same as men.
 
Re: Westboro Scum to Protest in Newtown.

I don't buy the "slippery slope" argument the Right loves to apply to any cause they're against (dog marriage anyone?). I believe people are actually rational and saying "you can't verbally abuse people at a funeral" will NOT lead to "you are not allowed to speak against the Dear Leader"...

Free speech should not be an excuse for abuse.
 
Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

They have trouble coming, Anonymous is after them. :=D:

http://vimeo.com/55671721#

nobody wants probs with them. between them and the other group. won't even say their names because they might get mad for whatever reason. they'll put your whole entire dirty laundry for the world to see even the naked pictures that you deleted off your computer. somebody's about to get exposed.

this isn't a right left thing

and the ACLU would prob. be the lead in protecting this group's right to speak

so please stop embarrassing yourself with the reflexive attack on the right

save it for the real deal

too much outrage is no outrage
 
Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

Wow. Just wow.

<scratches head with bewilderment>

I shouldn't have to explain that I am not surprised by what the WBC does, the reactions they're going to get and the reaction they WANT to get, and the fact that there is nothing I nor any of you can legally do about it, as they are within their right to be the equivalent of a villain troupe with minimum power depending on who is actually paying attention. They found a large wound, and are now going to pour salt on it. You can either give them the satisfaction of screaming or you can occupy your mind with something else and then dress the wound as you would anyway.

Or you could be Anon, who doesn't operate within the law.
 
Re: Picketing the Funerals of Dead Children!!?? Really Westboro Baptist Church? Realty??!!

Wouldn't that be "fag-enabling"? The real problems are 1) not allowing zany interpretations of the Bible to become the norm and dominate both culture and legislation, 2) not having prayer at school, 3) not allowing teachers to carry guns in environments where they can be easily accessed by children, and 4) not preventing homosekshuhls, Lesbian feminists (because everyone knows that all feminists are man-hating lezzies) and dark-skinned minorities from escaping marginality.

All the namby pamby liberal hatred that your words belie is scary... Guns were given to us by God, the media should be freely manipulated by people like Rupert Murdoch and Sheldon Adelson, and people who suffer from mental health issues are just weird, lazy or psychos who ought to be dealt with very harshly, because they just don't want to work and be a part of society.

God, it's beautiful to see that the WBC have actually influenced someone's thinking with their commendable displays of compassion and rationality! Praise the Lord!

(By the way, I'm here only because I wanna know what those pesky fags plan to use to conquer the world with their Illuminati, faggy Communist, genocidal agenda... Not because I'm a homosekshuhl sinner, of course).

But I'll bookmark it as a great example. A great example of what, I'll leave as an exercise to the reader.

Re: Westboro Scum to Protest in Newtown.

Blah blah blah. The argument is not partisan. However, the "slippery slope" argument is definitely a right-wing thing which I rarely - if ever - see from the left.

And let them have their right to free speech. I just don't see why they should be allowed to exercise it within hearing range of a funeral.

as jack and mister majestic have suggested

and i concur

u need to get out (of your vacuum) more often

i agree with u it sucks - everyone agrees it sucks

its public property

it sucks

but the concept of freedom of speech trumps it
 
Re: Westboro Scum to Protest in Newtown.

They're not going to show. WBC has gotten lazy with their trolling lately.

Phelps & Co. claimed they were going to protest at Whitney Houston's funeral, then never showed (not like they would have gotten past all the security at the funeral anyway)

If they're smart, they will stay away. There will be a lot of sad and angry parents mourning their children, and WBC might end up pushing a few to beat the living shit out of them. (which is what they hope to accomplish so they can sue everyone in a 10 mile radius for a sweet court settlement).

I would rather describe it as irony, but hey! Don't take my opinion into account. After all, typists cannot convey things with as much accuracy and subtlety as writers can.
