    I am all for freedom of speech but i really think this group take it too far.
    Also should the parents not be brought up on child cruelty charges for teaching hate and racism?

    They are a vile bunch, but I do approve of their strong anti-smoking stance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    There just attention seeking whores, the picketing of Funerals being the scummiest action possible.

    You and your ilk effectively work for them. 99.999% of their publicity comes from people discussing how offended they are. Just layve them off lad.

    Lets concentrate on people who murder, especially those who murder in the name of religion, lets get a fecking grip on 'outrage' and educate and understand all the absurdity that's floating around because there is quite a lot.

    Lets get some links to people who murder in the name of make believe fairies in their head religion up here now.

    Poxy outrage over religious freaks is pointless, why not attack murderers first.

    they also hate ireland

    One of the most striking blows by the King of Eternity, against Ireland, came as the Great Famine of about 1845-1850. Of the approximately 8.5 million people living in Ireland, 8 million of them were either exclusively or heavily depending upon the potato growing industry for their survival. Enter the handy little late blight disease, destroying much of the potato harvest, and chaos resulted. Farmers could not produce the goods and were evicted in huge numbers; the farming infrastructure/industry crumbled, and emigration became essential and common. The government of Britain offered some initial help, but pretty quickly they washed themselves of the Irish problem, and before long over 1 million of the Irish population was dead, and even more than that were fleeing.

    Down about 1/3 of their overall population, Ireland has never recovered. And the Chaff-People they outsourced to other nations have spread their idolatrous tendencies far and wide. One need look no further than Bill OReilly in the United States to get just the picture of this phenomenon: That bloviating big mouth, worshipping Mother Nature rather than God (i.e., giving that man-made creature power over the Sovereign God), and doggedly promoting the great whore Catholicism (while trying to minimize the harsh reality of the pedophile and other perversion growing strong in that satanic hothouse), is classic Irish.

    Those left in Ireland have sucked on their bitterness and anger toward God and each other every since. Mix that in with their overwhelming propensity toward the peep-and-mutter Catholic perversion, and what do you get? Perfectly fertile ground for the internecine disputes of groups such as the Irish Republican Army, which has been charitably described as follows: Traditional IRA activities have included bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, punishment beatings, extortion, smuggling, and robberies. Now theres some good ol Irish hospitality for ye! And, despite the United States and other countries working to tidy up that stinking mess, it still prevails. As one global security site acknowledges, even following multiple inspected disarming charades: The IRA retains the ability to conduct paramilitary operations. The IRAs extensive criminal activities reportedly provide the organizations with millions of dollars each year. Them laddies are baddies ... and they hate each other with a passion almost to the extent with which they hate God.

    nice people

    Well of course but it could be argued that wbc may motivate people to kill...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭southcentralts


    WOW suddenly I am seeing my religious upbringing in a whole new light and my current atheistic viewpoint in an even greater one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 919 ✭✭✭Pedant


    They make funny Lady Gaga parodies though:



    Kinda catching, "F-f-fornicating"

    Here's another one:



    Here's their Michael Jackson parody:



    BTW, they HATE Santa Claus:

    ("Santa Claus will take you to hell")



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭BeerSteakBirds


    Is there one person or thing or place they actually like ?
    Looks like they hate everyone equally. They seem non discriminatory in that respect at least :pac:

    The Landover Baptist lads are way worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    For good Christians they seem awfully obsessed with sex and fornication.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    That's what makes a good christian is it not?

    Anyone see the louis theroux show on them on rte a couple of weeks ago - they seem to have developed a lady gaga fetish which is nothing short of hillarious. It's basically an extremely poor lady gaga tribute show, but with the words changed to tell you how we're all going to burn for all eternity and so on. TV gold!!


    EDIT: Just noticed the videos above - hillarious!!!

    I'm amused and saddened all at the same time that "people" like these exist.

    Freedom of speech is a double-edged sword.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,220 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Feel sorry for the kids though.

    Louix Theroux' docu with them and the follow up are good viewing. Good to see some of the kids manage to get out of this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    It wouldn't surprise me if this group is backed by the CIA / US authorities to give them an excuse to usher in hate speech laws and what ever else that they need to alter the first amendment.

    Where is this group getting all the funds to travel to and fro in large groups across the USA to picket funerals and what ever else. I doubt very much the are getting much cash from passing the plate about at their service.

    In the same way I believe CIA were behind Wikileaks in order to usher in CISPA and what ever other tools they needed to censor and monitor the internet

    I don't think so... This shows a bit of a failure to grasp the extremism of some of the religious in the states. Unless you are going to try and say any such people similar to westboro are also backed by the CIA. Are all these people sponsored by the CIA/US authorities?

    I wouldnt go so far as to say I'm an athiest but I have no time for organised religion, I'm also the last person you're going to find defending the Catholic church. However, what you have written here is untrue. People read whatever they want into these things and twist words for their own ends. Certain people may interpret things in certain ways but the bible does not tell people to act like this.

    Those videos are priceless.

    America has some real religious nuts don't they.
