Ignore them unless they cause harm to someone. They have freedom of speech, and it would be wrong to deny that to them just because I strongly disagree with them (even if they are brainwashed), but if they cause harm to someone, they're going down.
Putting aside the whole idea of abusing said authority, just going by sheer fuck-you power fantasy?gigastar said:So, given a position of total authority to do anything you want, what would you do about them?
Just ignore them and they'll go away! Why do people keep going to their freaking rallies to protest!? That's what they want you to do!gigastar said:Now as people of the internet we are inevitably subject to something we geneally either dont understand or hate.
One of the most unaminous of theese things so far has been the Westboro Baptist Church.

Me:
I would make sure none of thier members can earn a decent living. Enough to survive, and continue protests if theyre that committed to it, but much, much worse off than if they were not a part of the group.
That was me, now, what about you?
They may feed off of attention but that doesnt mean that you have to be direct about it.
4....Chuck NorrisTheMaddestHatter said:My plan is already in action.
Phase 1: Form the EBC(Eastboro Baptist Church), an organization dedicated to protesting protests.
Phase 2: Show up at all Westboro protests with signs saying "God hates Protesters (1st Corinthians 10:10)" (Note: This strategy is so meta it hurts.)
Phase 3: Focus on martyrdom angle: We protest, sacrificing ourselves to condemnation to save others.
Phase 4: ?????
Phase 5: Assume complete and total dominion over the universe.
Make them live in an all black neighborhood. Why? Not because I think black people are bad, but because those racist sumbitches will probably all die of heart attacks in less than a month.gigastar said:Now as people of the internet we are inevitably subject to something we geneally either dont understand or hate.

There might be, but my task force will screen any and all funerals, regardless of who it is for, from the WBC people.draxious said:Well isnt there that one patriot gaurd oranization that does that for soilders funerals already?twistedmic said:I'd create an all volunteer task force to go out to any funeral that the WBC is planning on protesting and provide a human screen between the WBC and the funeral.
I'd also have a second (also volunteer) task force to protest outside the WBC's home base/church and protest loudly and obnoxiously , possibly by playing a mix of Hanson, Spice Girls, NSYNC, Justin Beiber and Hannah Montana/Mylie Cyrus music from sun-up to sundown.
the actual bible is about being a good person and not discriminating between people.zelda2fanboy said:Constantly use them and their beliefs as an example as to why Christianity and any religion based off of the Bible is sick and wrong. Oh wait, that's what I do already. I know, not ALL Christians believe in this crap, but all Christians do believe in the Bible, which just so happens to contain this crap. And if you say you "ignore" Leviticus, you can't ignore Genesis, which tells us it's okay let everyone else on the planet drown and that it's A-okay to slaughter your son if God asks you to do so. I'm not sure if even WBC can get behind murdering their own children because a voice in their head told them to do so. Or that line where Jesus said to bring the unbelievers before him to be slain. We should be thankful all they do is protest.

People like the WBC want to discriminate and use the bible as a excuse.
