Guest bluey Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 the only times i hear people claiming their right to freedom of speech is when they've argued themselves into a corner they're not clever enough to reasonably argue out of... they're saying "i should be free to say whatever unfounded poppycock i want and YOU should let me do so without question because i have the right to free speech" and that lady was talking cock of the poppiest variety. its kind of a shame she cant argue her point properly - it'd be interesting to see what makes maniacs like that tick...

Shorty Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Are you kidding me? Future tense? America has been riddled with people like this since the country was founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying she isnt talking drivel. Just that you cant say its disgusting that she can. Its like people say the BNP should be banned. Now i dont agree with what they have to say. But i dont think they shoudnt be allowed to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Are you kidding me? Future tense? America has been riddled with people like this since the country was founded. Actually, the founding fathers were all secularist Christians or atheists. Someone should remind the current population of that, I feel... Back on topic, I personally find the Phelps hilarious - how sad, to go through life being miserable. Screw 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line between a right sided political view and picketing funerals as a form of protest with vulgar hate speech is not fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fex Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Spreading hatred around the world is never a good thing. Yes everyone is allowed their freedom of speech but when its down right fucking disgusting, then someone should step in an stop it happening. If someone took these kind of extreme views but applied it to race, then they would be banned from doing this. Yet make it about religion and it seems no one can do anything. If only I had a death note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparko Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Fred Phelps did an entire sermon on my University. He's a ****. Yes C U N T. check out http://www.godhatesireland.com It's one of his websites. He really is. I was just reading about him on wikipedia, he's certainly had a long and hate-filled life. I don't wish this on many people, but the sooner he dies the better, stupid old bigot. Apparently he frequently pickets funerals, including Al Gore's father's.. What a disgusting thing to do.

Roostophe Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 One of the callers made a point. If it says in the bible that "God loves everybody". Then how come this lot don't? Are they simply pointing out their own hate and saying it's "God's word". Seems like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 People like her and the adults in her family are the scum of the earth. I saw the Louis Theroux doc on them last year, and it's so sad that the children are joining in with them, but they don't even know what they're picketing or why. Religion gone to hell (no pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 People like that should be killed.....Shame people are too stupid to realise people like that and murderers etc are allowed to live. Seemingly thinking life is more than simply life, and death is natural anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If they lived in the UK they'd so badly be arrested for perversion of peace (or whatever it's technically called). Another reason why UK > USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 People like that should be shot from a cannon into a pit into a pit of spikes (free speach aside maybe its time to thin out the idiots a little ). I thought being a Christian was about helping the less fortunate. It is wrong on so many levels to 'protest' at a mans funeral as he played someone gay in film (for 'christ's sake!) and that is obvious to all but the most warped individuals.

The fish Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 If they lived in the UK they'd so badly be arrested for perversion of peace (or whatever it's technically called). Breach of the peace. One thing is certain - Fred Phelps is only doing this to make up the fact he has a tiny penis. Yeah, I went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Those whackos in the cult crack me the fuck up. Gay rights is a stupid concept anyway. People's rights should just apply to every one, gay or not, no need for silly things like that. I love anal sex, and what they say about me going to hell makes me laugh.

Razz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 They really are a test of the free speech laws I guess. I still hate the fuck out of them though, as much as I don't argue with free peace. Awesomely hilarious stuff though on that Radio interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree you can say what you want for the most part. However, when you start telling others that a certain group who are specified due to an entirely natural difference are "bad", then you are a very potent danger to the public's safety.

Abuse + disruptive and disorderly + breach of the peace + discrimination + threatening behavior + inciting others to commit crime. Yeah, they'd be nicked here.
