psychotic, inbred compound-dwellers are the exception to most rules.
not shopped. its a group living out of a compound that looks online for postings of military funerals and protests at the funerals. they're mad at gays in the military, but will picket any military funeral whether they're gay or not. They recently flew a few thousand miles to protest a funeral . Was in the times not too long ago.
I read the top half of the article, I'm like, "Oh rawr! Utah is so mean!" Then I read the bottom half and see that the intent of the law pretty explicitly didn't have anything to do with criminalizing miscarriages.
I'm kind of with Maddox on the whole abortion thing. Hearing about it and the stupid shit people do on both sides of the argument just makes me wish I could abort full-grown people.
Damn... protesting funerals? Dearest Jebus, please let them have a website. I must learn more. Thanks for the info.
they have a website, its listed on all their shirts in the picture lol. After the funeral talked about in the times, the leader of the cult calls out the dead kid's father as a coward and says hes going to hell etc on the site. Protesting someone defending our country, dying for our country, then laughing at his funeral and whatnot then egging on the parents is about as low as low gets. I'm not one to wish death on others, but these people really need to die.
It's been posted multiple times - and sourced - it's just a front as almost every member of the group has a law degree they just go around doing this while narrowly avoiding slander/libel laws and wait for someone to get pissed and assault them. Then they sue the town/city/public establishment/person/business/etc or all involved and makes tons of fucking cash.
It's all a scam. I don't know why this needs to be repeated so much.
Sath, I want to believe that your avatar is a true portrait of yourself.
If I look like Sam Waterston when I'm his age I'll be fucking pumped.
Never heard of the westboro baptist church ?
They're basically a single family of inbreds with the senile grandfather dictating their (pretty nonsensical and extremely bigoted) interpretation of the bible.
Here, Louis Theroux (british journalist) went to live with them/film them for a while :
To their credit, "your pastor is a whore" conjures up a funny mental image.
To their debit, they're fucking retarded.
Edit : if it's a front, Louis Theroux' journalistic repute just took a big hit .
Antithesis : I want to believe your sig is a true portrait of yourself.
If people would read the actual bill information instead of an article from February, they would notice:
"08 March 2010, Governor Vetoed"

I have pretty much accepted the fact that the guy from Law and Order posts on BG after reading Sath's posts with his stylish picture always staring back at me.
It's amazing how strong their faith is, i just wish they would follow the bible more literally. Mainly Mark 9:43, and Corinthians 14:34. That way we wouldn't have to listen to them, nor would they be able to hold up signs anymore.
Thank you for posting this extra information.
There's a ton of batshit insane pieces of legislation that get proposed, sent to committee, voted, approved, etc. etc., but there still has to be the whole process of passed by local government and signed into law.
Oh, and then not challenged in court.
Checks and Balances ftw!
This was big news here back when it was still going through the legislature. Luckily it got veto'd, but still makes me just hang my head in shame for living here. The mountains are awesome though
