[QUOTE=Micr0;24435769]It's more like if I read that they all died in the newspaper, I'd say "meh" and flip the page.
What I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't personally go to their houses and murder them, but if somebody else did I wouldn't care.[/QUOTE]
You don't sound like you just "wouldn't care", moreso that you would be appreciative of it. I wouldn't care on a personal level, either, but I wouldn't want them dead and I would think it was something, you know, negative if they were wantonly murdered.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;24435843]WBC people dont deserve to die, but they should get peppersprayed every now and then[/QUOTE]
so you're justifying assault?
Easiest way to get rid of them: Get a bunch of men, have them wear pink togas, and grind on each to the song "I want to take you to a gay bar"
[QUOTE=BGOmega;24435800]I think we should protest one of THEIR funerals. See how the fuckers like it.[/QUOTE]
Now THAT is a nice idea.

Cept that kinda stuff (kiss-ins and all) are done at almost every anti gay protest, so it doesn't really chase them away. Still funny though.

no, self defence

Well sure it is "negative" in a societal sense, but personally I wouldn't start bawling over a bunch of welfare leeches dieing.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;24435910]no, self defence[/QUOTE]
Ah ha ha ha what? Self defense? Really? Don't think a single judge or jury in the world would accept that as a reason for assault, someone's feelings being hurt and mean things said to them.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;24435910]no, self defence[/QUOTE]
pepper spraying a bunch of protesters who aren't physically hurting you =/= self defense
A postal all dude will soon gun them all down.

There's a bit of a difference between "i wouldn't give a fuck i f they all died" and "i wouldn't be sad if they died". Of course you're not really gonna be personally sad if it's someone you don't know dies, but i'd still give a fuck if a few thousand people got murdered.
Hopefully he didn't get the kids, they're just listening to the parents... These families are no worse than the average Christian family, believing in what their mother and father taught them when they were young.

Well what would be your response to a bunch of welfare leeches dieing?
This reminds me of the time when they came to a high-school near by, me and about 12 of my friends came right next to them with signs saying "GOD HATES WESTBORO CHURCH", then on the opposite side of the road another part of the group have signs that say "SATAN WILL KILL ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS", then about 15 feet to the left of the "Satanists", "Atheists will fuck the Westburo Church up, also there is no god."
They left early that day.
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;24435511]Why do they protest soldier funerals anyway? I know they've done it before, but even visiting their website doesn't hold any answers.[/QUOTE]
Because soldiers die purely due to the fact their god hates them because America 'allows' gay people to exist.
[QUOTE=Micr0;24436047]Well what would be your response to a bunch of welfare leeches dieing?[/QUOTE]
I would give a fuck? Idk, i'd have the same response to most non-personal news I get, with the added fact of "jesus christ thousands of people are getting murdered" and know it's not a good thing or some thing to brush off.
Alright, I'm going to try and put this as eloquently as I can, and what's more far more eloquently than I want to.
To the people saying they have the right to: that's absolutely, 100% right. I may see it as morally reprehensible, others may, but they're still within their rights. Free speech is a double-edged sword at times, and we have to just accept that. I do. I really do. It's part of the law and it's a principle that this country was founded upon.
However. Do you know what else is spoken of in the law? Harassment. There are laws against it and it's punishable by law. The Westboro Baptist Church has jumped so far over the line between free speech and harassment it's not even funny. Free speech is spewing their hateful "sermons" in their church, or in the town the funeral is being held in even. Harassment, BLATANT harassment is camping outside of the graveyard and shouting at the funeral that the dearly deceased are heathens that deserved to die because their supposed God hates America. Not for any crime, not for any personal fault, but because they think that they deserved it. That's harassment, that's unnecessary and hurtful. In a time of grieving and vulnerability they come to the families and insult the dead. [I]That[/I] is what's morally reprehensible, and as much as I want to say it warrants their murder it doesn't. It does, however, warrant a cease and desist order at the very least.
they're exercising their rights by saying others shouldn't have any.
I like their style.

Well personally, if I saw on the headline "MURDERER KILLING THOUSANDS OF WELFARE LEECHES" I'd be like "Well that's interesting" and maybe tell a few friends about it in a conversation. I wouldn't see it as a negative or a positive. The only feeling I'd have is probably surprise.
If i was at the funeral of a Soldier i knew (Or any funeral of any Soldier for that matter) I'd fucking kill people who protest the war at a place if grieving. The man/woman just gave there fucking LIFE for there country and whats there thanks? Peice of shit low-life protesting scum.

You really wouldn't see it as negative? The fact that thousands of people with families and other shit were dying? While they abused a system, they didn't exactly rob people or kill them or something, and still probably contributed to society in some way.
Those silly Christians, always doing retarded shit.
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;24435386]If it was a private affair (legally) they wouldn't be able to protest but it's done on public ground in public so they're allowed to. There's a bunch of complicated shit about defamation and slander that they eek around, and people's feelings don't make up laws, so it's all legal.[/QUOTE]
Stop trying to white knight them. What they're doing is wrong, whether it's legal or not.
"oh they can do it no matter how it makes anyone else feel as long as it's legal but anyone that doesnt like it is stupid because its legal so they can do it"

ACLU must be just one big group of white knights huh? Really, could you misrepresent my argument any more? Of course what they're doing is wrong, and I obviously (i hope) don't support it, but it's their right to do so and I support THAT. A lot of people do a lot of things that are wrong, should we illegalize all of them?
[QUOTE=Micr0;24436283]No.[/QUOTE]
Right. Well, not much more I can say here then, guess this bit is done with.
Nothing a Louisville Slugger can't fix.
Aren't molotov cocktails cheap and effective ways to harm a crowd of fucked up crazy christians? God must hate fire.

Actually, yes we should. The people like them are [B]not[/B] helping anyone in the entire world, in any way. They are only causing hatred and violence. This is the same effect as what Terry Jones will cause. Everyone is only going to get pissed at them, and try to get rid of them. Whether it's legal or not. They are the kind of people that are holding this world back from actually getting along.

Glad we could clear that up. I guess we both have different ways of thinking.
