Take a breath Billy.... it was a joke
I don't go apeshit over piss Christ, why would I go apeshit over a Teddy Jesus? I don't have anything against freedom of speech, but lets not pretend these cocksucking atheist morons are some kind of innocent anythings, they picked Christmas season to fly their bullshit for a reason. Its because they are miserable atheist assholes with nothing to live for but misery. Standard fare for most atheists I've known.

Wonder how they and their secular progressive queer friends would all feel if we started hanging Leviticus signs in front of Fag bars etc... oh wait they tried, and they made a new law to ban them, its called "hate speech" that only works to protect liberals though.

Imagine: The world sucks it up and stops getting butt-hurt everytime someone says something they don't agree with.

I think religion is a good thing, as long as it isnt forced on anybody, and it stays the fuck out of our government and our schools. Some people need their faith to be happy and fulfilled. Personally, I don't, and I don't understand why either choice is such a problem.

As I stated, it was a joke. Merely a small jest. Remember the Muslims that went apeshit over the poor old english teacher who let her students name a teddy bear Mohamed

Everyone goes a bit apeshit if you use their religion as the butt of your joke. Even though a great man once said that one mans religion is anothers belly laugh. Which is true.
To me the thought of some old guy with a flowing white beard sitting in heaven behind the pearly gates is akin to the notion that unicorns and little fairies inhabit mounds in Scotland.
Absolutely unbelievable. To me the notion of a single great god above everything is quite a ludicrous notion. But it brings others great comfort and calm and I would never deny them that right to their beliefs.
But the pendelum swings both ways and I expect the very same respect for my beliefs. I have found though that this is sometimes too great an ideal for alot of Christians and other religious orginizations.

frog it is only a problem for those who fear their own faith. For those who feel that they are standing on a precipice of which your non-belief may toss them off of. As such they would call you the many colorful names Billy has utilized along with heathen, pagan, etc etc.

In order to uphold freedom of speech and religion one must walk a fine line and remember that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

If good for the goose is good for the gander, I am sure you will agree with me that we need to get rid of "hate speech legislation" so that I can rightfully call a faggot a faggot without fear of being sued.

Hate speech leg. is just another politically correct dem copout to protect nothing really and is just another nail in freedom of speechs' coffin.

Billy, are you active military? Or just a religious Zealot?
Who the fuck cares if they used the towers as a background. They are gone.. YEARS ago gone..
Why not let water under the bridge lay where jesus flung it...

They want to advertise that they are stupid for using the towers as a backdrop for they're message. Let them!. It only shows they're stupidity in choice..
Personally, i think the poster is stupid for that reason alone. They should have chose something else for the background. Maybe like the international space station.. That might have had a more positive effect.
As far as being able to put that up. Hey, freedom of speech and all that..

Words...Images...

These things are only as powerful as the feelings you attach to them. The sign invokes indifference from me.

I do not associate the Twin Towers with religion so I guess I miss out on the offensiveness of it. However, everyone has the right to express their opinion regarding religion...to choose to celebrate or not to for that matter.

You just have to get nasty. It's like you can't help it. You hate the world. And you think insulting the country I live in will help you prove your point. The point is that you hate everything. You hate black people, brown people, european people, gay people, liberal people, nice people, mean people, fat people, skinny people, and all people that aren't exactly like you. I wonder why that is.

You can't seem to differentiate between not caring about other people's opinions and not caring about anything. Maybe if you concentrated less on what other people think you'd be a lot happier.

Did you read anything I wrote or are just plain old stupid? As for people having tender feelings about the WTC, yeah well I know it didn't mean much to a loser like you, but for those of us in and around NY with friends and family who work and live there, who thought for a good 2 or 3 days that a loved one might have been buried under millions of tons of rubble, well you get the idea.

You took it to Nasty Meg. You called me the muzzie. You don't get to be the victim here. As for your psycho-analyzation, fail. Sorry. Who I show you I am, and who I am are 2 different things. Kind of like your metamorphosis into an Englishwoman. I am not trying to say that to be offended, I am just calling it like I see it, I mean can you try any harder to be English? And don't pretend you are above caring what other people think and do and say, your posting record here would indicate otherwise.

I will even note you didn't bother responding to my mentioning that these assholes didn't just use 3 little words, but put it over a picture of the WTC.

oooo bash me! Actually, i DID happen to know 1 person who was in the buildings when they fell. I feel sorry for them having to die like that. Shame your brain didn't remember that i'm a transplanted east coaster.
But hey, it's december, not september..

Yes, you basically said that we need to all get over the WTC falling and crushing 3000+ Americans. I disagree. Asshole.

No, i said we should let the past be just that.. I remember that day. i remember it more when i was called by his mother in nov. telling me he was dead.
Are you saying we should, every fecking day, pay homage to the fucktards that did it?
Is your religious grieving period 2trillion years or something?
But yes, now that you mention it, we do need to move on. Hell Some people i work with had family in the building. THEY and thier FAMILIES have moved on. Why can't you? If a NY Italian can move on, why can't you?

Of course you don't care. You cant even bring yourself to give the WTC deaths the honor of mattering to you, you only saw the terrorists. Not the 1000s of people dying, the firefighters going in after them dying, and the millions of broken hearts. I doubt you feel or care about anything. Because you are a typical self centered asshole.

You think your calling me a zealot means jack shit to me? Your half hearted attempt to pretend you know jack shit about me or anything has been a big bowl of fail. Sorry.
