Westboro Baptist Church
Who's heard of these guys?
Anyone know any good stories about them getting shut down?
Apparently they went down to Joplin, MO this weekend while Obama was there to protest the tornado aid being sent there because the victims had been marked for death by god or something. But some biker gang came and drove straight into them and cornered them so they couldn't do anything and had to go home xD

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
They get attention. Which they want. They are hated, which they want.
The best way to combat them is to either iognore them, or to love them.

we should all take a trip down to their church and begin giving out hugs to their members.MadAce wrote:They get attention. Which they want. They are hated, which they want.

Sure, they can have freedom of speech. And when someone else uses their freedom to bear arms, maybe they'll realize that the freedom of speech comes with a responsibility.MadAce wrote:How about freedom of speech?Caia wrote:...or shoot them all.

The freedom to bear arms is not the freedom to murder someone.Caia wrote:Sure, they can have freedom of speech.

Also, freedom of speech does not stop at the point where the things said disagree with your opinion.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
The WBC is just a family of very good lawyers who have figured out that they can make a good living suing people that lose their cool and assault them, or otherwise break their constitutional rights.
Freedom of speech is the greatest part about the country, but it allows assholes to thrive in America because it's legal to be a complete bigoted jerk but it's not legal to punch the jerks in the face.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
No, freedom of speech has very few limitations to it. And I'm happy about that. And along the same lines nothing stops people from peacefully protesting outside the Westboro Church while armed to the teeth. If some lunatic happens to start shooting, eh.MadAce wrote:Also, freedom of speech does not stop at the point where the things said disagree with your opinion.

So in conclusion, you like freedom of speech. Unless someone says something you disagree with. Then you want them to get shot.
Got it.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
All I gotta say to that is at least the WBC has yet to lynch anyone.
It just goes to show that EVERYONE hates them

I don't hate them. I literally love them. If I ever see them in real life I'll attempt to hug them.invaderzim wrote:All I gotta say to that is at least the WBC has yet to lynch anyone.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
No. I'd explain it further but being you're unable to piece together simple ideas, I'm unable to bring myself to your level of stupidity. That's ok though. Not everyone can be smart. Or even able to tie their shoelaces.MadAce wrote:Your complete lack of actual morals is pretty obvious.Caia wrote:No, freedom of speech has very few limitations to it. And I'm happy about that.

The problem with your attempts at insulting me is, of course, that I'm pretty darn intelligent.Caia wrote:No. I'd explain it further but being you're unable to piece together simple ideas, I'm unable to bring myself to your level of stupidity.

Next time attack my morals or something. Good luck.
Oh, and the shoelaces thingy was one too much. Better to have one that's a little more creative/extravagant than have one too many. Heed the advice, you're getting it from the master.
