Oh the irony will be so delicious.

well to be fair its like shouting fire in a crowded theater somethings you just dont say or do like protest the funeral of the soldier that died protecting your right to protestWorgen said:as much as I like the idea of them all getting beat into a bloody mess, we have to keep in mind that freedom of speech isnt for speech you like, its for speech you hate
they died following orders and fighting in a foreign land that, at best, we have dubious reasons for being in, hardly protecting freedom. Now of the died preventing cobra from finishing the weather dominatrix then I can see how that would be protecting us, but as it is they were acting more as a piece keeping force then anything else. And its not shouting "fire" in a theater, sure its disrespectful as hell but its not inherently dangerous to life and limbTim_Buoy said:well to be fair its like shouting fire in a crowded theater somethings you just dont say or do like protest the funeral of the soldier that died protecting your right to protestWorgen said:as much as I like the idea of them all getting beat into a bloody mess, we have to keep in mind that freedom of speech isnt for speech you like, its for speech you hate
Well, you say "when" he makes it to hell. Which implies that it is certain that someone who behaves in a fashion similar to him will go to hell. As in, there is with certainty, a hell, and you believe in such a place. Also, because you're saying it light heartedly, one could assume that you believe the fashion in which you behave will have you exempt from hell.The Austin said:What do you mean?martin said:Well, I'd have to ask what makes his Religious view less valid than your own?The Austin said:I'm going to laugh my ass off when Fred Phelps ends up in Hell.

Being an all-around dick isn't really a religious view.
I'm just saying that it would be ironic.

Which, gives you an apparent religious superiority over him.
isn't a anti african american protest a hate crime?Spikeyfische said:WBC did a tour of schools that had LGBST alliance in DC last year, and i got to see first hand their hate. They held up signs showing baby fetuses in burger buns, calling that a homosexuals lunch. They even had anti african american, and anti semitic signs. I am all for freedom of speech, but there has to be some kind of human decency in treating others. And whats worse is they had their kids, some under 10 and a few under 15 protesting and holding the racist, discriminatory, and down right disgusting signs! In the same way showing those signs, and desecrating a soldiers funeral is freedom of speech, i view this mans pepper spraying them to be his first amendment right.
Also the look on their faces when 3 lesbian couples started making out in front of them was priceless. The covered their little kids eyes to "protect them."
sorry i probably should have picked a better example but still soldiers protect us and deserve respect and it doesn't matter whos funeral it is a funeral is a funeral and a grieving family needs to be left alone to grieveWorgen said:they died following orders and fighting in a foreign land that, at best, we have dubious reasons for being in, hardly protecting freedom.

That's why we, in turn, can shelter ourselves under another, much more fun aspect of US law: aggravated assault.Hannan4mitch said:What really pisses me off is that they can do whatever they pretty much shelter themselves behind the 1st amendment.
...I think you've come up with the single most awesome solution for any sort of WBC protest. They love hiding behind the first amendment, so goad the living hell out of them. If they use physical violence, great! Come prepared, respond in suit and wholesale!Spikeyfische said:Also the look on their faces when 3 lesbian couples started making out in front of them was priceless.
