Gravitymaster 0 #26 May 12, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteI guess there are better ways to spend my energy. We need to find a legal way to stop them forever. They like to sue people. Couldn't we or someone start a class action lawsuit against them for the for the emotional pain they are causing to everyone, not just those at the funeral. You mentioned something about not being able to be rational. Having to go to the funeral is emotionally draining enough without having their shit in your face. I've actually lost sleep over thinking of the poor families that have had to bury a family member or friend and having to deal with these fuckers too. Judy Please don't take this personally but your call for lawsuits is one of the reasons this country is in the mess it's in. Why is the first reaction to sue for some imagined emotional distress? I'm sorry but a knee-jerk reaction for a lawsuit is not the solution to these people, nor is a punch in the face. - Ever hear of fighting fire with fire? Do you have any suggestions? I mean, pointing out the flaws in others' feelings and reactions and ideas is great and all, but doesn't really bring much to the table does it? I'm not a proponent of violence, but some people just need a good old-fashioned ass whooping, and these highly-motivated litigious folks are damn good candidates. I see. So violence is OK if it's something that offends you? Where do you draw the line, then? Suppose I decide the next time there's an anti-war protest in my area that it offends me. Will you support me wading into that group with a baseball bat and cracking a few heads open? - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do what's right instead of what they really want to do, which is pound them to a pulp. We're fortunate to have people who will put ideals like freedom of speech ahead of their own desires.

kelpdiver 2 #29 May 12, 2006 Quote Sadly, I agree with you on all points in my intellect and in some ways my spirit, but my gut wants to punch him. Dude, I'm human as the next guy. It isn't easy, that's for sure. I don't have any good answers other than to do the Christian thing and turn the other cheek, and pray for or pity these pathetic people. The Bay Area solution would probably be to bring out dozens of flambouyant gays and crossdressers and rub their nose in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #30 May 12, 2006 Steve - I don’t know you personally, but of you were my close friend, I’d wrap you up in my tightest bear hug, and say, “I love you, man, and I know you’re right; but if you can’t restrain yourself, you’re going to wind up hurting yourself the most. So I’m not letting you go.” And if you broke away and cold-cocked one of the fuckers anyway - sure as hell I’d chip in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For exercising their right to assemble and protest? You don't have a right not to be offended. And as for the reverend, I thought part of the duties involves resisting temptation and setting an example for others. Getting into a fight hardly seems appropriate. AHHHHH, another Phelps sympathizer. Just what the world needs. IF you and your buddy the Phelps think America sucks so bad then leave. Going to Indiana are we? j How dare you?! How dare you take cheap ass shots like this?!? How fuckin dare you to invite someone to leave because he supports the very foundations of this great nation?!?!?!?

lisamariewillbe 1 #33 May 13, 2006 Took the words right out of my mouth. Do I personally like this group and support them? NEVER However they are doing what we all have the right to do. We cant decide to take someones rights away because they hurt our feelings, embarrassed or shamed us. I think the fact that they have 90 ish members and 80ish are family members speaks volumes. They are getting what they want. A reaction. As long as they are not infringing on anothers rights then legally I do not think the sue happy people would win. That would just give these creeps more reason to go on. They may suck and MOST want them stopped but they get alot of traffic on their websites. People are tuning in to them more now, and they are degrading people for any difference in thought, so far they are winning. Only because people are allowing 90 ish people dictate how our country feels about the funeral service of a military man.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #35 May 13, 2006 Send me in. I can preach like no-one's business...and loudly, for a long time. And yes, I'm serious. What I'll preach who knows, but man, when I get to rolling, it just goes! Shoot - you've seen my posts. You know what I mean! Someone squander some frequent flyer miles on me so I can get there a day ahead. I'll ask for police protection on the street - preventing them from coming close. I'll ask the Patriot Guards to park near to where they're "assembling" and rev in rhythm. Then I'll go door to door around the church, letting them know what's happening, and asking them to turn on their sprinklers or be outside watering their lawn for the duration of the funeral. If it's a business district, I'll go ask the business owners to bring portable stereos, and stand on the sidewalk playing heavy metal, rap, classical, jazz, Top 40, and all other sorts of music - at full blast...so no-one can hear the protestors. And then I'll get to preaching, with a bullhorn or megaphone, in their face. Judge not lest ye be judged to start...move on to morals and dignity. Preach to them the crucifixion story - Jesus died for their sins, which include fraud, physical abuse, harassment, and libel and slander (and yes, I'll research, get names of the phelps, and pin them to the crimes...). And then...well...whatever comes to mind. No, I'll not hit anyone. But if one should hit me, well....see, that would make the news...'cause I'm a middle aged woman, but my secret is I'm a blackbelt...and I do know how to fight. And also realize, that as a woman, should a man approach me, and I "have no where to turn,", I can strike first due to the fear his approach has caused me. LOL. So yeah, send me in. I'd love to do it on your behalf, Steve. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
