leedog- from what I understand, they don't picket soldier's funerals who were suspected of being gay, just soldiers in general because the U.S. promotes hedonistic lifestyles, including homosexuality and the military represents the U.S.

It's just a general hatred of all things that aren't militantly anti-gay. Shit, they'd picket us here for not going off on gays enough I suppose. :grin:

It's one thing to think homosexuality is wrong, but to go as far as picketing funerals to get that message across, is horrendously stupid.

Yes, they get attention...but I'd guess that 95% of the people who see/hear their protests are repulsed by their actions and their message.

There is a reason they only have like half a dozen people show up for these protests. And if I am not mistaken, this so-called "church" is comprised mainly of members of the same family. Why they continue to get press is beyond me.

People enjoy hating things. Look at Westboro. They hate gays. Most people hate Westboro.

:lol:

People love feeling like they're better than other people.

"Why I may not be perfect but at least I'm not a member of that crazy ass Westboro Baptist Church!"

thats right. i dont remember where i saw it, but i'm pretty sure it was a dateline episode or frontline or something similar where they went to that families house and interviewed them. they are absolutely insane. i would do research on it, but i'm in the plant with slow internets...i will proally look it up when i get back to the hotel though.

There may actually be 3 things wrong with that statement. Impressive, considering that it's only 3 words.
Maybe my standards are just lower, but I think hot and chick are both correct.

My girlfriend asked me what I thought of her music, and really couldn't believe that I didn't care for it at all. To me it's kind of like listening to Cher, Madonna and Joe Cocker all rolled up into one.

But I do find the lyrics entertaining once translated :lol:

As far as crappy synth pop dance songs go, it's pretty darn catchy.
That song makes me want to gouge out my eardrums with a phillips-head screwdriver....

Phelps says that he believes that homosexuality and social acceptance of it have doomed most of the world to eternal damnation. The WBC has 71 confirmed members, 60 of whom are related to Phelps.
no cite, but i believe it.

Fred Phelps at his pulpit in 2002.


He looks old, so at least he'll die soon.

Nothing says "legitimate" and "classy" to me like wood paneling behind a church altar. Nice.

They've shut themselves off from society since the 70's, they haven't discovered white paint yet.

I've got a bootleg of a Seinfeld stand-up show at a hall in Topeka (where these idiots are from). They were picketing outside the show because he is Jewish (they don't like the Jews either), and Jerry goes off on them for a little bit. It's pretty funny.

It is said that excess of anything is bad ... in this case the religious guys are taking it in a harsh manner. She may be a bit overboard but Lady Gaga is a super star and we cannot undermine her fame.
