Author Topic: Westboro Baptist Church Hails Boston Marathon Explosion, Plans To Picket Funeral  (Read 7095 times)

That doesn't justify anything. A funeral is a time when the relatives of the dead are given the right to mourn the dead without interruption. If a hate group that is allowed to go around and protest funerals and pretty much make fun of the dead without any consequences besides being hated in the society, the kool kids klub should be legalized and be given the right to hate black people and verbally attack them.
Never said it justified anything, but they have every legal and human right to go and make fun of funerals without any legal consequences just like, yes, the kool kids klub has every legal and human right to hate black people and verbally attack them. That's what the entire concept of freedom is, everyone should have it, not just the people you think should. There's not a single thing wrong, amorally speaking, with them protesting like this. Yeah, it's cruel, it's a richard move, it's a publicity stunt, but that doesn't change the fact they should be able to do it.

Hate speech is just that, speech. You choose to let the words get to you.

Because freedom doesn't apply only to people you like and not to people you hate. Westboro Baptist Church, as insane and toxic as they are, have every right as human beings to mouth off like they do. It doesn't mean they should, but it means they can.

Even though it's been abusing this ability and pissing off the entire country for over 20 years so much that they possibly get death threats every single day?

I think we're all forgetting that Issac Fox lives in England, where they're not allowed to speak out.

Poor sod.

Implying that the WBC being banned from entering the UK for planning a picket there was a bad thing?

The kool kids klub is legal?
It still exists, so I assume that means it's 'legal'.
And I don't see the need to change that.

But on another note, the kool kids klub actually PROTESTS Westboro:

Yes?

what about an unalienable right is so hard to understand

God loving damnit, classify them as a hate group already!!

haha holy stuff you loving tool

this is exactly what is wrong with lots of things

you think you can inhibit free speech by making up terms like "hate group" so they can't speak?

forget you and everyone who thinks like you.

unalienable right
Exactly. WBC and the kool kids klub and anyone else who preaches hate and ignorance has an unalienable right to do so. That's freedom. If anything, the people trying to strip them of their rights are no better than they are.

They have their rights, just like every other American.

if family men kill gay people, why doesn't anyone kill these people :I
Go ahead, kill them the most inhumane way possible. It won't do anything but make you seem like a furry nutjob. Then maybe furries will be blamed more in the media as a result.
how would killing someone in the WBC make people think you were a "furry nutjob"

Sticks and stones may break your bones but Westboro Baptist Church picketers can't hurt you.

if family men kill gay people, why doesn't anyone kill these people :I
They don't though?
how would killing someone in the WBC make people think you were a "furry nutjob"
He's a furry, and that'd be a nutjob like thing to do.


Man, are you slow today?

He's a furry

Not anymore. I left because of how useless I felt to the fandom.

The opposite of "freedom" isn't communism you dumbo.
