well, what DID he say? Oh, 1st! hahaha
Skiffle is a type of folk music with jazz, blues and country influences, usually using homemade or improvised instruments. Originating as a term in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. It became popular again in Britain in the 1950s, where it was associated with musician Lonnie Donegan and played a major part in beginning the careers of later eminent jazz, pop, blues, folk and rock musicians.
That’s all very well, but what I want to know is, does your chewing-gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?
not sure why you’d put it on the bedpost… anyone who grew up watching willy wonka knows you put it behind your ear. like violet beauregard.
But won’t you explode or turn into a giant blueberry or something? Then little blue guys will dance and sing… I do NOT want that.
Hum-dee hum-dum, Well I’ve got a little riddle for you..
God hates that!!
Lol!!! Yikes, FTW!!
Lol! That shall be my new retort! If I don’t like it, God MUST hate it right? Right!?? That’s got to be the way those guys think…
God hates it, and it makes the Baby Jesus cry.
little 8 ounce baby jesus?
If that’s what gets your pickle tickled, then yes.
Hey! Baby Jesus does NOT tickle pickles!
he tickles more than that in tijuana!
Totally lol I mean these people give baptists a bad name. God loves everyone, God hates sin. That be like a parent hating there kid for writing on the wall in crayon, it doesn’t happen the love is unconditional. These people need to read there effing bible.
Or not.
Actually, they do.
It seems they’ve been reading it. They just like the hellfire and brimstone parts. That’s their bag, baby.
Those people obviously don’t read a bible. But maybe those pieces of shit should.
Lol, they aren’t even baptists. They’re just a bunch of idiots that couldn’t think of a better name for themselves.
Hum-dee hum-dum, Well I’ve got a little riddle for you..

-Dances for Tessie, imitating Ooompa-Loompas-
HAHAHAHA
They’re orange with green hair… and called Oompla Loopas…
I did that once. Mom had to cut gum out of my hair the next morning. I never did it again.
It’s probably Lonnie’s best-known song, and was a hit in both the UK and the USA.
If your mother says don’t chew it
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils?
Can you heave it left and right?
Worse even than knowing the words…..I still have the 45.
Please understand and forgive my wretched oldness.
There’s no shame in having a classic, still in its original format!
As long as it’s not “Surfin’ Bird” [Family Guy ref]
Tessie…. What’s the word?
Don’t you KNOW?
[dances like a fool around living room]
THE-THE-THE THE BIRD BIRD BIRD, THE BIRD IS THE WORD! -Dances like an idiot-
Absolutely nothing to forgive!
Can you stuff it up your sister’s nose just to start a fight?
If your mother says “Don’t chew it” do you swallow it in spite?
Another question If I chew it in the morning will it be to hard to bite?
off the wall!
God hates my tears? Why can’t he hate brussel sprouts, James Joyce, and black licorice. I’d follow along with that.
Possibly because there are enough people on earth who hate those things already?
What do you have against brussel sprouts? Satan looooooves them.
He said “thou shall not say first”
*pats factory on the back*
Thanks for that. Now I must clean the diet dr pepper off my screen.
Well, it just happens to be the FIRST commandment.
Pun Police Pun police we have a serious violation here!!!!
indeed, and to settle the matter i suggest we have a rousing game of judicial calvin ball!
omg!
HAHHAHAHA. That just about made my day. =]]
Very true. God doesn’t hate any of his creation. He doesn’t even hate those people that say he hates everything.
[citation needed]
He’s certainly doing a lousy job. Infinite powers and this is all he accomplished. Lolz.
If there was a God, this photo would show those freaks being hit with a lightning bolt. These types of people really challenge my peaceful ways.
There is a God, and the reason He’s not striking these people with a lightning bolt is because He’s extending GRACE to them. If He struck everyone with a lighting bolt that represented God in a bad way, we’d all be dead. But be sure, His judgment is coming!
However, I’m glad that who ever put this caption realizes that this one stupid little church does not accurately represent God nor other churches in America. These people are idiots.
Yeah, like the grace he showed when he murdered almost everyone on the planet with a flood.
They were asking for it with all their violence. That’ll teach ‘em.
Ever see the “Unforgiven”? “They were askin’ for it for what they done! Both of ‘em for what they done!!” Good movie.
That was the Old Testament vengeful God. The New Testament peaceful God the one these people say they follow.
Jesus believed that the Old Testament was divinely inspired, the veritable Word of God. He said, “The Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). He referred to Scripture as “the commandment of God” (Matthew 15:3) and as the “Word of God” (Matthew 15:6). He also indicated that it was indestructible: “Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished” (Matthew 5:18).
When dealing with the people of His day, whether it was with the disciples or religious rulers, Jesus constantly referred to the Old Testament: “Have you not read that which was spoken to you by God?” (Matthew 22:31); “Yea; and have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babes thou hast prepared praise for thyself’?” (Matthew 21:16, citing Psalm 8:2); and “Have you not read what David did?” (Matthew 12:3). Examples could be multiplied to demonstrate that Jesus was conversant with the Old Testament and its content. He quoted from it often and He trusted it totally.
So, Jesus supported all that was written in the Old Testament. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
He had to cite known sources. You can’t just say “Well I said it and I’m God so there!” and have people believe you
And He was conversant and very well-versed in the OT because that was all they had back in the day to study. It was a heck of a lot easier to point people to something they already knew and could identify with than to make up more. If you read closely, He wasn’t ever downing the OT any more than He was saying it is the only way to go. He used it as source material to make a point.
-
But I have to agree with PB in a way. It does seem that God got hold of some Prozac in between the OT and the NT.
And don’t forget that Jesus was also a Rabbi, which is why he was conversant in the OT. Also, I don’t believe that they carried the Torah around like people do with Bibles today. In order to read it, you had to go to the temple. And the truth is, I don’t think reading and writing were that common in his day.
Interesting point about Jesus being a Rabbi, Eddie.
My Jewish friends tell me that, to be a Rabbi, a man must be married.
Isn’t that a thinker?
no…they posted it on their doorways, and often on their clothing….
What about Matthew 5:18-19?
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the lease of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus seems to be endorsing the Old Testament pretty clearly here.
I don’t see people’s problem with reconciling the old and new testaments. The first is the law, it’s judgement. It’s something flawed humans can’t follow. The second is God’s mercy and escape from that judgement. God’s mercy can also be found in the old testament and his judgement in the new. The law shows us how sinful we are and Jesus shows the way out of sin.
Our minister always said to rip a page out of your bible and throw it away: the page that divides the old and new testaments. They’re the same book.
PSST To let those quoting the bible know something. When that guy Jesus was strung up on that cross, he died for our sins. And be doing so, God turned into a forgiving loving God. He realized his heavy handed ways weren’t working (Damn that free will), so he opted to use the Love approach. I’d say the jury is still out whether it’s working or not.
Now, ya see, that’s the one bit I just don’t get. What does “he died for our sins” MEAN????? It’s a phrase that may as well be in swahili for all the sense it makes to me.
If it means that he made a bargain, “Kill me but don’t punish those mortals for what they’ve done,” well okay then, I sort of get the gist.
My sins are being committed 2000 years later.. so does that mean that I now have open slather at sinning, happy in the knowledge that the contract still stands? Or did it only cover sins up to and including those at the date of the bargain?
Okay, so I’m a law student and a bit of a pest, but surely because of the doctrine of privity of contract, I can’t actually enforce a contract that was between god and jesus that I wasn’t a party to. So what guarantee is there that I still wont suffer a bit of smiting if god gets in a bolshie mood? And since I don’t believe in jesus, why should he bother enforcing the contract on my behalf?
These are the questions that got me expelled from scripture class, but got me a high distinction in contract law.
Your comment possibly paints you as troll, but what the hell…
Jesus’s act of self-sacrifice was a blanket forgiveness of all the misdeeds humanity had previously done to God. Because of this, all those who believe in the love of God for His people, and believe that Jesus died in order to wash mankind of sin, will be accepted into Heaven when the universe is called to judgment by God at the end of time.
Of course, there is no guarantee. It has nothing to do with contract. Its’ all about Faith. That’s the point.
(Disclaimer: IANAC. I was just raised as one and happen to enjoy studying myth and religion.)
Cite?
Win.
Why should he bother enforcing the contract on my behalf?
In case you’d like to take him up on his offer of redemption, perhaps?
Smartarsery aside, I think you know this.
If he said “Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished” I’d like to understand why Christians believe they are exempt from all the laws like no pork and no shaving the temples (to mention the most common)?
Simply curious. It’s confusing, this Christianity business-too much segmentation (if that’s the right word).
If you had actually read the bible you would know that
the people were killing each other off by themselves
so in order to save the one righteous man alive, Noah, he sent the flood which killed the evildoers who were going to die anyway
and saved population by saving Noah and his family.
Or he could just have snapped his fingers and made everyone a bit more good naturally.
Its like creating Frankenstein then complaining about what one has created. Or not fully understanding his own creation.
Again…at best incompetent.
Yes, but where’s the fun in that?
That would be against freewill, which is a gift from God to all of us. We have the power to choose right and wrong, and if He takes that away from us, we are just a bunch of robots. God wants us to love Him and each other because we want to, not because He’s using mind control. Think about it.
What he’s trying to say is that he wonders why God didn’t make our nature a tiny bit better, not that he should have changed us all. I think he means there’d be less @ssholes in the world.
Yeah, evil doers like all those kids under ten he killed. He’s not very precise in his smiting, this evil, petty and vengeful God the bible speaks of.
Well, my judgement has already arrived, and it has concluded that the reason that these people and all other wankers haven’t been struck by lighting is because the odds are 1 : 400,000. But thanks for playing!
…. Christianity win.
BS
“If lighting is the anger of the Gods; the Gods are
mostly concerned with trees” Tao Tse
LOL
You are made of WIN.
Loving your fellow man no matter what…
Big WIN.
Total Christianity win!
I don’t care how many times it’s been said already, it needs to be said. True meaning of faith win.
I do believe thou hast won One Internet!
i hear zeus is making a comeback this year. he’s opening for AC/DC or something.
He gave up on humans a long time ago.
(before anyone asks, I’m just visiting from Failblog.org
I forgot the )
Wouldn’t you?
I believe in God. I don’t believe in Lolnathans, though.
I believe in Dog, sorry dyslexia takes over at times…..
i believe in irrational numbers… i know, it’s a problem. i have a support group, we eat lots of pi.
Worse I believe in imaginery numbers. Square root of -4 is…..
Oh get real.
Or at least be rational.
Are we going to continue on this vector?
I’d rather go off on a tangent.
As you know, it’s a sine of the times..
indeed, could you cosine this for me?
No way, I know that old trig.. and as they say, “You can’t teach an old old dog, new trig.”
Thank god there’s no god
Oh there is. He’s just not the god these people think he is. It’s a shame people call themselves Christians and then do horrible things like this.
Phelps is just as likely to be right about what God is as anyone else. Why do people never entertain the idea that they might disagree with God?
I saw a documentary on these people, and I feel sorry for them. Their children are groomed to believe in things they don’t even understand. These people can’t properly distinguish parts from the bible correctly, its brainwashing at its worst.
I agree, the bible is brainwashing at its worst
The bible is a book, you are free to believe it or not, the brain washing is done by humans. Brain washing is done in the name of many things, not just religion.
Yikes, I have to agree with you on this one. Many people (including me) have read the Bible cover-to-cover and have formed their own opinions, without going out and holding repulsive signs like those people…
I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I agree with mother… cough cough… ugh ugh… hmmm hmmm… goose… OWE I think I died a little inside, but I’m OK.
It’s ok these are the same people who would expect God to reach from the sky and save them from a flood. Quick turn on the water!!!
Could this be the 7th sign of the Armageddon??!!
Yes, it is… I won’t even insert Obama rise of Anti-Christ here line. CRAP!! I just did… please disregard before Eric or AC sees it. Anyone have the white out? See even Conservatives have their limits!!! Extemists in any group just give that group a bad name. The sad part is the 1st Amendment applies to these a-holes as well. just b/c people abuse a right, doesn’t mean it still isn’t theirs to abuse.
Oh my God! I think ILPB and I might ACTUALLY agree on this!!
Why does it have to be “White out”…are you a racist, or something?! (kidding…kidding…)
This group hides behind their 1st Ammendment Rights. They notoriously sue ANYONE who doesn’t issue them a permit or attempts to break them up when they “protest”…
Hey all the rights belong to all the American citizens (no one else though, it says so in the Constitution, ANOTHER brain washing tool btw) even if we don’t agree with it. Someone can burn the flag, it’s their right, however when the Big Burly biker comes up and smacks him, it’s the price he paid for that right!!!
I wonder if these guys ever think about all the soldiers who died to protect their 1st Ammendment rights…
I readily admit that I’m a bit of a liberal, and was opposed to the war in Iraq, but would NEVER think about denegrating our troops. They go where they’re ordered. I have no problem with the troops. In fact, I’ve never seen anyone on this site who doesn’t respect them (I may be wrong, but I don’t think I am).
there’ve been a couple of douche’s who had issues with the soldiers themselves… but they didn’t last long around these parts.
Wait… “our troops”, or troops in general?
Hopefully being a “douche” for having issues with soldiers isn’t a “well, you know, American soldiers” sort of thing. I take it you have respect for the troops of all nations, including those that America is at war with/has been at war with in the past. If so, right on… but if not then you might want to do some deep thinking.
I don’t ~conceptually~ like soldiers, because I don’t like the military, because I don’t see logic in fighting with people’s lives. Factions fighting each other seems to me like a huge waste of life to settle a disagreement.
BUT, I’ve known some great people who were soldiers and proud of it, and they were right to be proud for being part of something they believed in. There have been numerous times throughout history where soldiers have defended against an aggressive force, and protected their own people and that is really honorable.
I guess I just wanted to state that it is possible to not *support* the military (of any country) on a large scale, but still respect the beliefs and efforts of the soldiers who are part of it. I accept the reality that many countries need soldiers to defend themselves against other soldiers/militants, but on a more idealistic level think the whole thing is pants-on-head ret@rded: both sides lose lives because there are people who are greedy, aggressive and violent and those people sometimes end up in powerful positions. If peacefulness, tolerance and diplomacy were more revered qualities in society, perhaps there would be fewer world leaders who go about warmongering and fewer fools to follow them.
Don’t get me wrong; defending yourself and your people against an aggressor is righteous. But the attitudes we cultivate by portraying the military as infallible might lead us to blindly support situations where these ‘defenders’ of ours are actually the invading force.
Soldiers wouldn’t risk their lives if they didn’t think they had a valid reason to. Each believes their side is righteous, and each army has repeatedly been told this belief is true. But they can’t both be ‘right’. Or, are they just fighting over an opinion? Maybe more time should be spent weighing the arguments of each side instead of just supporting the side your nation is on.
And yes, there will probably always be people out there who just want power and glory, and aggressive followers who will fight for them, and it can’t be solved with a “look, lets talk it over, I respect your beliefs” when their beliefs are that their faction should rule the world and they’ll kill all the weak in their way. But, the more people who are brought up with a sense of true justice, the wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong and the ability to use reasoning, the less people to support (or aggravate) the maniacs out there. Then when you fight against them, you know you are fighting the good fight, you know real reasons why you are fighting and you know you are true defenders. Not just taking orders for one side in a two-sided argument.
D – who are you talking to? mothergoose mentioned “our troops” but you nested under me. but i was referring to douche’s on the board who have had hissy fits about “soldiers are murderers” and such.
Like “Again”, for one…
*knocks wood and spits over shoulder so as not to summon*
D: Few things. You’re entitled to your thoughts (quite a few American Soldiers died to allow you that right), but I must find some fault in your logic:
I’ll start from the bottom up: You talk of “True justice” and “what is right”. Well your definition of “True Justice” and “what is right” is different than someone elses. And who are you to say that “talking things out” is the “right way” of doing things? It’s you’re right way of doing things, but forcing that on someone else who’s thoughts are different, is that right? To me that isn’t right. See where this logic takes us. We were given the ability (through God or evolution I don’t care) of free will. As long as humans have that will, it is their choice on how to use it. Once it is taken away though we will lose everything that is human about us. Free Will brings wonderful things as Art, music, buildings, new foods (especially new foods), but also brings us hate, jealousy, and war. We must always take the good with the bad. Without the bad, how could we appreciate the good.
Also there are many American Soldiers out there beliveing they are fighting the “good” fight. Protecting America from terrorists, freeing Iraqis who had been imprisonned grossly, had wives and daughters raped in front of them. Sometimes people fight for those who have no voice, what happens when you continually ask people stop, stop murdering, stop killing, stop starving your own people, and they continue to do it.
Also not every war is about greed and profit. I’m sorry but I find it hard to believe that we went into IRaq for oil. It’s hard for me to argue with people when they say that (I admit I lose my temper qucikly on that). I believe that diplomacy will almost never work due to each individuals belief they are right. Look at Israel. Both sides are “Right”. The Jews took that land from the Canaanites, and then were conquered by the Romans, who then lost the land to the Palestineans, who then lost it to the Turks, who then lost the land to the Crusaders, who then lost it back to the Turks, and then it was given to Israels after WWII as a “Sorry for letting Hilter almost eradicate you” gift. So who has more claim to that land? Diplomacy has been tried for 50 some years and it ain’t working there.
@Peanut Butter – either my reply disappeared or is taking a really long time to get moderated. But, believe me… I replied, and it was long.
The short version:
-We have extremely different views, and there’s not a lot of use in debating them here. I 100% respect your beliefs, and you right to have and share those beliefs. I certainly did not try to force any of my views on anyone. I’m not saying I’m right, only that I believe in certain things, and I hope you also agree that your beliefs are only that.
-Furthermore: see link. I’m not sure it means what you think it means. There are schools of thought which deny the existence of free will, and this is a very large, long-running philosophical debate with lots of intelligent points by incredibly wise people on either side.
-I recognize my beliefs about free will as nothing more than beliefs – since the philosophical world at large has not come to any sort of conclusion, and there is no definite proof either way. So, you know, if it *is* free will, by it’s true definition, that you’re insisting we have and wouldn’t be human without then I don’t think I can really take that as a serious point and not just a statement of opinion. Unless you’ve spent like 20 years studying it. Then, maybe
If you just mean ‘freedom’, though… well, society is people trading “freedoms to” for “freedoms from” so I’m not sure if you’d limit the argument to freedoms we wouldn’t be punished for. If so, then that’s different from place to place. If not, then I’d argue that we’re not truly ‘free’ to do something if we’d be punished for it.
Peanut Butter – Oh, and your first point was all wrong. I’m not American, never have been. You shouldn’t assume that!
No soldier has died to protect my first amendment rights in my lifetime. They’ve died for plenty of other reasons. but those rights arent among them.
And lest you take that as denigrating soldiers–don’t. It’s being realistic about WHAT soldiers are ACTUALLY fighting for.
MLD I would have to disagree with you. The men and women fighting and dying in Afghanastan are fighting against those that would impose thier will upon the American people. Their will does not include freedom of any religion, freedom of any type of dissent.
Second reason you are completely WRONG and I believe anyone serving or has served in the Military will agree with me is when you take the Oath of service in the military you promise to protect the “Constitution of the United States”. So anytime a soldier dies, whether it be in war or a training event then that soldier died protection the Constitution and therefore your right of free speech.
Seconded; I mean I know this, and I’m not even American!
Paws are seconding MLD or Me? Please say me, please say me!!!!!
Sorry ILPB; running out of nesting levels fail! I meant seconding you.
I don’t always agree with how politicians use our military, but I am always 100% behind the actual troops who put themselves in harm’s way on our behalf.
FINE get me the BLACK OUT!!! Is that better?
Now it’ll look like all the redacted lines from those “Super sensitive” CIA briefings!! LOL…
Or any record you get from the FBI via the freedom of information act. Which you can only access if you provide a copy of an obituary…
It’s not the CIA’s fault that their purchasing department got such a great deal on the 30 cases of black highlighters.
No it was the intern, she ordered the wrong ones. I believe it was right after her stint with Clinton and Bush (those two were freaky deaky together believe it or not).
Oh, that mental image. Do Not Want!!
Viking Gal: Yes you do. Keep thinking of it. It’ll be engrained and when you go to bed tonight you will dream of it. And the Intenr was Rossie O’Donnell…. **BBBLEHHH**
No cookies for you, after that!!!
*reaches for brain bleach and mental floss*
i don’t remember what they’re called… but there’s a kind of biker militia that follows them around and blocks them and provides honor guards to military funerals and keeps these nuts away. it would be pretty awesome (in a really bad way) to have a huge group of bikers protecting your funeral. these people (WBC-ers) seem like the type who will hold signs and yell at you all day long but the first time you challenge them in any way will back down. i can’t see the woman in the white hat standing up to some tattooed biker guy in leather when he tells her to shut the eff up.
on an aside, one of my relatives had a funeral attended by over 200 bikers. he’d been a roadie for the doobie brothers and had been a hells angel and was just all out a badass (his girlfriend has his 1 carat diamond prince albert made into a necklace). the bikers showed up at the funeral home decked out in all their leather, bikes polished within an inch of their lives… and then on the procession to the funeral home it was the 2 family limos and then 200+ harleys and then a few cars. the sound was beyond belief. later that year the doobie brothers (at least i think it was them) were playing in town and they went to his mom’s house… picked her up in a limo. brought her to the show and asked if they could put his bike on stage for their entire concert. the lead singer rode the bike on stage and parked it in the middle of the stage, there was a spotlight on it all night long. they dedicated the concert to him and even had his mom come out on stage – she got a standing o.
Awwweeessommmenneessssssss, Shortright.
i know, right?!
sometimes my family amazes me with how cool they are. apparently this was the cousin (he’s mom’s second cousin but was about 10 years older than her) who at the passover dinner passed out face first in his plate… at his grandmothers house. grandma explained it as “dean’s just tired” when in reality he was stoned out of his mind.
I may never have met her, but I love your grandma!!
Kudos to the Doobie Bros – nice way to mark the passing of their roadie
that was actually my mom’s grandmother. my great grandmother. she was a bit of a riot.
we were going out to a restaurant once and she’d managed to forget her dentures at home… so in her THICK polish accent without any teeth we heard “oh mein gott! i fugots mein teets!” it took a few minutes before we had ANY clue what she was talking about.
Patriot Guard riders, and they are effing AWESOME. {http://www.patriotguard.org/}
thank you for the link, this is fantastic. these types of protestors really got (well, still do) on my nerves – my family’s been military for as many generations as I know and it’s grated on me their utter disrespect for the soldiers. I’m glad someone’s got something together to counter it and moreso that’s is a respectful and peaceful program. That’s great, thanks!!
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up.
Utterly awesome.
thank you for not writing “udderly”. i’ve seen that SO many times.
and yeah, it was awesome. dean was an awesome guy.
Too late! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!11!11!1!!!1
That’s MWAHAHAHA, you’re not a Dr. Evil yet and only Dr Evil’s get the extra long laugh (cite Austin Powers). I still haven’t seen your Thesis.
I have my doctorate in practical evil. It’s a PhD, though, so I’m not a medical doctor.
Show me the birth certificate…. errr I mean your diploma….
It’s precisely because of people like these that we have, and need, an amendment protecting freedom of speech. The nice speech, the pretty speech, the speech that offends nobody doesn’t need protecting – but when you guarantee the right of even the worst among us to speak what passes for their minds, that’s what freedom is all about. We must never allow the right of Phelps and his band of loons to spew their hatred to be denied, offensive though they are, because if they can be silenced, so can you or I.
i honestly think god should sue
exactly. You dont have to read it or believe it. Youre just as bad as these ppl trying to push your views- or lack thereof- on others. As much as I hate it, these people have the right in america to protest and carry signs like this. Thats what they fail to understand, is this right they take for granted was a direct result of dead soldiers. Its not like anyone takes them seriously anyway. LOL
Except when they are crude and protest at a Soldier’s funeral. These people are just as bad as those in 60′s and 70′s who spat on returning troops from Vietnam. Even if you don’t agree with the war, don’t take it out on the soldiers. Remember it’s the politicians sending them there to fight.
They came to our area to protest a soldier’s funeral. A bunch of truck owners lined the street with their semis so the family of the soldier didn’t have to see these idiots.
Now THAT is patriotic and being human. (talking about the Truckers, I would totally buy those guys a drink).
I work with truckers all day everyday and they are good guys.
Except the ones going 50 in the left hand lane one the highway in a 65 zone, then they’re my mortal enemy, until they get out of my way.
Around here, the only folks doing 50 in the left lane are the middle-aged self-righteous idiots driving family cars while talking on cell phones! Truckers doing 50 on a highway? You must live in a different part of the world!
Don’t forget that they usually have their left-turn signal on for 8 miles, and the belt from their raincoat hanging out of the door…
and the gas tank door open still.
*linkie*
A new lol by yours truly
And have accidentally popped their trunk with their remote.
Washington DC/ Northern VA….. usually done in the HOV lanes.
no one respects the HOV lanes these days (sniffle)
Hybrids ruined the HOV!!!!
i know, right? little one-person-in-a-car-at-rush-hour…no one in front of him but insists on going 20 miles under the speed limit. just ain’t fair. but i am going to buy a hybrid next time, one with a v8…
@Wallfly: the v-8 hybrid… isn’t that like a Yugo Turbo?!
*smacks forehead* I coulda had a hybrid V8???
hehe, i know, makes no sense, right?
actually, i am planning on getting a hybrid next time around – the new Honda Insight looks pretty decent, at least, that is unless they bring out an actually feasible electric car (the volt is a nice idea, but I drive 40 miles one way to work, the charge would be shot and I’d have to hitchike home).
btw, i had to look up the Yugo Turbo (link) – what a bizarre thing
Eric: Didn’t get enough of your vegetables? Yeah you shoulda had a V8.
eric, both mercedes and lexus are planning v8 hybrids for 2010, not sure if they’re SUVs or sedans, but i have seen on the road, a lexus hybrid suv on I-66, not sure if it’s a v6 or 8 though.
here’s linky:

There’s also a bunch of Vets who ride motorcycles who show up wherever these guys are to help protect the families of the soldiers from them… I think they called themselves “Freedom Riders” or something like that…
Do they carry bats, and have chains? I would love to get a video of a “‘Christian’ Beat Down” on these folks. I would pay admission.
Nah… they park their bikes and carry flags and shield the families from the protesters… no “Rolling Stones Altamont Beatdowns”…
Patriots Guard. (link) According to their mission statement, you don’t have to be a veteran to be a member. And they are avowedly not repub or dem.
Thanks…
Oh, those guys are the COOLEST!!! My dad went to Iraq around two/three years ago, and when he and his unit came home, they were escorting the bus… it was sincerely awesome to watch them. I’ll never forget spotting them first on the freeway from the armory parking lot! It was really great, and I highly respect them all. They really mean a lot to the troops and their families.
Agreed. I don’t even have a kid, nor am I old enough to even *think* about it, but if someone disrespected my kid like that I’d have them missing their throat and heart in under 14 seconds.
And I’d swear blind that you were using “minimum reasonable force” to restrain them!
I wouldn’t have seen a thing….and neither would anyone else. Except for where they slipped on the soap.
If someone did that to my son/daughter’s casket, I’d request a spare one from the funeral home to put that SOB in and have buried. Alive. And I’d grab a lawn chair to sit by the grave and listen until all movement from underground stopped. That kind of thing puts me in another realm of psychotically angry.
Don’t worry, Eric. You’re not crazy. I’d do something similar, only much more rage-fueled and less level-headed.
eric, i feel ya man, but i’m with tyler on this one.
my plan is to let you deal with them, we’ll meet you by the grave after, i’ll bring the beer, tyler the pizza.
If it was one of my kids, I can prettydamnwell guarantee there wouldn’t be enough left to bother with a casket.
Ah, but you see, I want to make sure I emphasize SUFFERING. Long, drawn-out, constant suffering. I can be rather dark at times, it’s true. LOL
I absolutely respect that, Eric, I just doubt I’d have the impulse control required to accomplish it.
No, these people who wrongly interpret the bible and thus start strange, mind-controlling cults are “brainwashing at its worse.”
It *is* what he said. If he doesn’t see it, he needs help from an interpreter. Link included.
I had to bookmark that page. Lots of ‘Related Videos’ to view! Wheeeee!
I’m glad that I could spread the word
My first encounter was “What Would Jesus NOT Do?” (Link included). I’ve waited no less than my entire life for that video!
I think it’s easy for a believer to defend religion by criticizing extremists; but it’s the fundaments of the religion itself that are highly immoral and illogical. The fundamentalists are the symptom, not the cause.
(Sorry, this is the correct link)
OMG that was epic
Right you are!
i’m sure they mean he’s against smoking
A reference to this previous LOL? [link]
why, yes! starting now, of course…
This (lol? pic?) makes me happy. There are extremists in every religion, and these people give christians a bad reputation. As a christian, I’ve read the exact same verses as them, but view them differently. These people are brainwashed, but that doesn’t come from the bible.
/rant K sorry I’m done.
Thanks OK. Cookie?
*offers chocolate chip cookies*
can i haz a cookie? *makes puppy dog eyes*
Oops. I only have peanut butter, due to the bottomless Tyler. Is that OK?
it’s peanut butter cookies, without the chunky peanuts, right? if so i’m down for it! did you do the crossed forks in the top to make them pretty??? those are the yummiest.
and damn you tyler… why couldn’t you eat the sugar cookies? gotta steal a woman’s chocolate. not right, just not right…
No chuncks, just peanutty goodness! And crossed forks thing, plus crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle!
*eases her belt a notch*
*gasp*
those are the best. i’ll take a few (dozen) of ‘em!
-Dribbles and chains himself to the wall- Kinky, right?
No, I’m just protecting you from my urge to eat EVERYTHING.
Nah I hate peanut butter.
D’oh!!!
-Swallows entire batch-
*facepalm*
Kids. Tyler, you’re going to ruin your dinner with all that cookie-eatin’.
Don’t be ridiculous, MG. I’ve never found a batch of cookies yet that could ruin my meals. I may be skinny, but I’m never full!
Then the World of Competitive Eating awaits you, my son… go forth and prosper.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker that I saw once… “God wants spiritual fruits, NOT RELIGIOUS NUTS.”
that’s not a bad sticker!
If they really believe that God hates everyone and is our enemy, why the big crazy smiles on their faces? I would be pretty scared if I believed that. Oh, maybe they think he hates everyone but them… Who could figure out these nut cases?
Yes, they do believe that he hates everyone except them. Notice how it says “God is YOUR Enemy!” and not “OUR enemy.”
Well, that’s just stupid, they aren’t any different from anyone else, poor deluded idiots.
I remember seeing a Louis Theroux documentary of them:
“Billy Graham, you are going to die SOON and GO TO HELL!
…And we will picket your funeral.”
The way that they honestly claimed to be Christian was truly embarrassing to watch.
Don’t you know it’s love thy neighbor as long as he/ she fit my definition of neighbor. ***Shakes head*** and you watched the video, next you’ll call yourself a Christian….. tsst! Tsst! (NOTE: heavily ladden with sarcasm)
i loved my neighbor… so much so that i got a restraining order for her! (she’s a total psycho.)
but yeah, i get your point. i’m a little aghast that i’m agreeing with you on a lot of stuff on this topic. considering i’d almost completely written you off several LOLs back when you were being combative about everything.
Same. I like ILPB more on the threads relating to extremists.
I wrote him off a few threads ago, but he’s making a comeback on my scoresheet.
Hey…… I wasn’t being combative I was defending my conservative views, which y’al don’t agree with. It’s ok.. I forgive y’al!!! Y’al do relaize that it was like 15 on 2 there…. and some of y’al were pretty insulting, and yeah to my discredit I was insulting as well…. but now that we smoked the peote (sp) out of the peace pipe, let’s bash some STOOPID radicals!!!
Please, ILPB, y’all
No it’s y’al or you all you can’t spell out either word or else you ain’t a true Southerner. Please Tyler I would expect more.. ***shakes head, rolls up Dixie flag, and steps into pick up truck***
nah, a true southerner wouldn’t be using a computer.. heh
(before anyone gets all snarky – i mean it in jest – i was stuck down in the south for longer than I’d like to admit and just like in the desert, there’s little teeny tiny oasises of intellect mixed in with the crap flowing down from georgia… i’m not apologizing for that, maybe excluding atlanta georgia has been a frightful place, even if you just go by the size of the flying bugs, let alone the ones that crawl, or jump… (cringes) they make the florida roaches look like ants).
*shrugs* Visited Savannah once. It seemed nice enough.
Hell, I’m from Tennessee so I have no room to snark at anyplace other than possibly Mississippi.
It ain’t no comp you tour…. it’s the magic typing box, with the funny picsures making fun of dat der dum people….
But wher do you put yur beer?
Really? Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never seen my friends in Texas & Alabama spell it that way. O.O
Do I only know idiots? Seems likely, that I’d associate with my own “kind”
It’s called a beer belly for a reason. Hello!!!!
I’ve actually generally seen it as “y’all”… wikipedia agrees. {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y’all} Article especially good for clarifying the distinction between “y’all” and “all y’all”, which confuses a lot of non-natives.
There’s a difference? O.O
Tyler: I got it straight from our Redneck God… Jeff Foxworthy. He told me so. Hey speaking of which does our Redneck God hate anything, except running out of beer and pork rinds?
That’s b/c you guys are pernouncing it like y’ all. If you take the second l off then it’s shorter. Dang wishing I had sound.
Apologize for the bad link above. Corrected: {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%27all}
And, Tyler, the distinction between y’all and all y’all:
“”All y’all” or “all of y’all,” clarifies that the entire group is meant.
For example
“Are y’all going to the movies?”
The thrust of this question is whether movies are in the plans of the group. The asker is not focusing on whether the whole group, or just some of them, are going.
“Are all y’all going to the movies?”
Here, the person asking does want to know whether the whole group is going.
@ ILPB: around here it’s pronounced like “yawl”.
Diss…. that’s it. Sorry Tyler I was mispelling it, but not how you thought. I stand corrected (well I’m actually sitting so I sit corrected)
I feel kinda like OJ, A-Rod, or LT, everyone shortens my name to some sort of intitials.
@I Like Peanut Butter: Well, it’s kinda long. Mine usually gets shortened, too! How about Mr. Butter? Or just Peanut?
Peanut FTW!
Don’t we all love that puppet?
I know I do; he represents how I act.
yar! peanut was my favorite. the old man can be funny sometimes too, but i love it when the pepper on a stick goes on about roaches.. ahh.. happy puppets
Best line ever was when Dunham was trying to stare down Peanut and all Peanut says is “I will not blinnnnnnk!!!”. Also when Peanut and Jalopeno (on a steeck) where talking in Spanish and Jeff says, “guys I feel elft out here, I don’t speak Spanish”.
*peyote
few words of advice: i’m a conservative, but because most of the posters aren’t it’s MUCH easier to not start out fighting. when i came in i did my best to blend in for a while before really causing trouble. you came in with both guns blazing and whether you’re liberal/conservative/neo-nazi/etc… it won’t win you any favors around here (i hope i didn’t just invoke the wang).
there are a handful of conservatives around here… myself, froo, eddie, annie (although she hasn’t quite learned how to not come in guns blazing) to name a few. yeah, we’re out numbered but picking fights isn’t the way to go. but you were also being super fundamentalist right (which you’re entitled to be) but it’ll make it even harder to get along with people here, especially if you keep saying things like “obama messiah” and other things like that.
stick to the debate style you’re using today and you’ll make friends!
Friends
Most of the PK community is friendly, as long as you don’t come in slinging offensive things. I like the people here.
and we tolerate you…
-sniffle- Not luvses?
loving you would be a jail-able offense. you is a young-un, remember?
*laughs evilly*
Not-a-minor-at-17 in decadent Europe laughs evilly at you…
Ok…time for the Kum-Bay-Yah singalong…
ahem. it’s coombia. get that straight for once!
I like conservatives, but I couldn’t eat a whole one, not even with a waffer-thin mint to follow!
I’m mostly conservative as well except for some inconsistencies I have on sex issues. I don’t care what people do in their bedrooms (or who they marry, or, for that matter, if they want to charge for it!) so long as they are all consenting adults.
I’m mostly liberLOL, but very hard right on certain issues, usually regarding terrorism (and I include threatening and murdering staff at animal research institute, abortion clinics and the like as terrorism).
I do agree with you about sechs though.
Well within limits. I don’t think beastiality is right. But if two guys want to have at it, so be it, it’s their perogative. We are a free country after all, and how is that two people of the same sex showing their animal magnatism and or love for one another hurting me? It ain’t. That’s the religious right that has highjacked the Repub party. Let’s get back to basics, low taxes, small government spending. To me Government should be like the referees at a sporting event, when it’s over the discussion should be about the game not them.
Consenting adult humans is pretty much what I had in mind, there, ILPB! I like the referee analogy.
Diss: Thank you for the clarification. I’d be scared of Man-Bear-Pig.
Viking Gal: I’m glad to see that they realize their wishes make them just as miserable as the rest of us married bozos!! (Didn’t they ever watch Married With Children?)
Well I say it b/c people tend to worship the guy. And living in DC I get it way too much. Helk when he stopped by the Five Guys (and cut me in line BTW, I was ticked about that), the whole place swooned, to me he’s just a guy, it’s not like it was Brett Favre or Chick Norris or something… and to those I’m sooo not a Bush fan either.
Come to think of it….if Favre actually retires, HE could run for Pres in 2012.
What would his platform be?!
I’m thinking Norris/ Favre ticket… Free a$$ kickings for everyone!!!!
I suspect there’s transferable planning, strategy, and human relations skills that carry over between being a quarterback and being the President. And who better to handle the nuclear football?
Only one term though. We wouldn’t want to spend all of 2016 waiting to see if he wanted to run again or not.
“Well, maybe…nah, I’m gonna quit…no wait, I think I can do it four more years…eh, maybe not…maybe I can sign on to be PM of Canada to finish out my career.”
touche!!
I see where you’re coming from, but consider this; he’s got more international respect than any US president since JFK. You don’t have to like the guy to see how that might be an advantage in his job.
Paws: Reagan and Nixon had HUGE respect outside the USA, more so than even Clinton. I think the problem is, it’s not respect. I don’t think the world respects us any more under Obama, than they did under Bush. If anything looking at the saber rattling and posturing being done by N. Korea. Iran was starting down that path, then well, that’s another story. I don’t think what he’s done to the USA national image “I’m sorry.”, “I’m sorry”, bowing to the Saudi King, giving the Queen of England an IPod, “I’m sorry” has helped. He’s started to alienate England (our greatest ally since WW II), and Israel (our only true ally in the Middle East). That’s my humble opinion, and other’s can share a different view. I also don’t think buddying up to Chavez helps his “I’m not a socialist” stance either. But back to the dumb a$$es in this LOL, let’s try the 1700′s Witch tests on them.
Well, the thing is, our nation’s reputation was so badly damaged under Bush that if he didn’t show some humility on our part, everyone would continue hating us. That being said, I don’t want him to turn our country into a doormat for countries like Iran or North Korea. I don’t trust either country in the slightest. But if he can actually achieve some sort of understanding with the bad guys without laying the smackdown and killing more American soldiers, then I’m all for it.
Eric: I think we could lay the Smacketh down without loosing American lives. They’re called MOABs for a reason. I just think he apologizes too much, and I think the world now sees that Crazy George kept those pesky Iranians and N. Koreans in check, b/c frankly you never knew what he’d do. I’m afraid Obama will make Clinton’s and Bush’s mistake, not act until lives are lost.
Tricky Dickie and Ronnie Raygun had respect outside the USA!? Where, and since when?
Well, the Westboro Bastard Church and al Qaeda have something in common: They both hate American soldiers. Where is Homeland Security?
“I can just picture Jesus up in heaven with God leafing through his Bible.. ‘ Dad, where in here does it say that you told Jim Bakker to build a waterslide?’” – George Carlin.
I could use a waterslide. Maybe I can pray for one! B/c girls in bikinis go down waterslides!!!!!
Only if you hate others as much as they do (according to them). I think these people missed the whole “Love your enemy” message…
You konw what else God hates, people with REALLY bad fashion sense. Lady the Flag does not go well a ky blue T-Shirt and grey sweatpants!!!
Correct typos… It’s “know” not konw.
And “sky” not ky… though a KY shirt would be interesting to see.
KY shirt might get a bit sticky, after a while…
Maybe we could use the warming gel. That would be sticky and hot…. sort of like liething…
I always wonder why they say that God hates the US (or any other country). If I am a citizen does that mean I am going to hell. What country do I have to be a citizen of that God would love. If I become a citizen of that country, will I be assured of everlasting peace?
You can’t be Swedish either. They picketed a shop because it sold Swedish vacuum cleaners…
That’s b/c vaccum cleaners are the devils tool for pleasure… oh well ummm so I’ve been told, I mean read on the internet.
The only vacuum cleaners that are Satan’s tools are Dirt Devils, thank you.
OH AC you ruined the running joke. See I’d protest that as well. To me if the pastor wants to think that so be it. I don’t want to be a hypocrite pushing my morality onto him, as he’s doing onto me. Sill Swedes freedoms for everyone!!!
Yeah, I agree with you but I didn’t know 100% of the details so I thought I should keep my opinion to myself for now…
Yeah, he did get acquitted eventually. It was an interesting case in that it put the Freedom of Speech against the law against “persecution of minorities”. I am glad Freedom of Speech won. Asshats should be allowed to dig their own graves – society trying to take the shovel away from them is just silly.
He called them a cancerous growth on society. More info at:
Wikipedia article on Åke Green
There was this scene in “Religulous” (link to trailer included) where someone preached about the imminent danger that God is going to leave the USA and choose another nation for himself, but I don’t remember the details…gotta watch that movie again.
Ok so far it is a No Go for:
USA
Sweden
Ireland
I have been to Yap on the surface it looks like heaven. The down side is the women are topless (no Joke). But they don’t have the pretty kind, they have the National Geographic kind, so I think it could work. Anyone hear anything differently?
“Ok so far it is a No Go for:
USA
Sweden
Ireland”
GodHatesTheWorld dot com has a list of many hated countries. (All the rest apparently coming soon.)
They infer this from what they believe are the standards of their god. Every Christian, every believer does that.
Meh. If I was Christian, I would assume that almost everyone who *tries* to live their life well and shows kindness to others would go to heaven, because I can’t see the God described in the New Testament turning his back on his creations and letting them fall to eternal torture… it just doesn’t make sense to me, though.
Have you ever read the Inferno? Dante asks Virgil the same question early on in the book; his answer is interesting.
Christian or not, read the first four books of the New Testament, then compare what these hatemongers are doing to what Jesus said and did. You’ll find absolutely nothing in common. I think that tells you all you need to know…
Funny thing, Jesus would be hanging around with the people they are hating on! They probably wouldn’t even recognize him.
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us. (I am a slob I admit it).
Just a stranger on the bus?
Tryin to make his way home.
Back up to heaven all alone.
…and something something on the phone…
trying to make his way home.
you’d be sued for asking that question due to plagiarism
I need to read the Inferno. What would it be sold under, is it in most bookstores, and do they sell it in paperback?
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri; The Inferno’s only part of it. I think it’s in that section of “stuff people have to read for school”, otherwise knows as “classics”….I’m almost positive that’s how the bookstores make the call on what to put in the “classics” section: Is it on a school reading list? Yup. Classics, then. I’m sure it’s in paperback. Oh, and probably at the library, too.
Well, I know it’s part of my curriculum for next year’s English. However, I wanted to make sure that I didn’t have to go to some kind of religious literary theology store to buy it or summat
Anyway, would it also be under “Religion”/”Christianity”?
Just the Inferno part’s on your reading list? I’m pretty sure you can get that for less separately. Yup, Amazon’s got it for $5….{http://www.amazon.com/Dantes-Inferno-Divine-Comedy-Hell/dp/1420926381/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_6}
For what it’s worth, I’d probably invest in the Cliff’s Notes, too, but who knows, maybe it’ll make sense to you!
Oh, well, there you go, then: {http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Comedy-Inferno-Purgatorio-Paradiso/dp/0451208633/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246392710&sr=8-1}
Yep, it will be under Classics. Alternately, it may be under Literature, depending on the book store. I am a public librarian; we shelve books commonly assigned for school assignments under “Classics.”
*ahem* Yeah, uh, what Dhoti said. *brain melts*
First Mothergoose and I agree, then you and Dhoti agree….. it truely is the end of the world. **looks up to see if the sky is falling** Crap ceiling in the way.
Ceiling cat works in mysterious ways!
I’ve read the New Testament, I know it’s a butchery.
-Sigh- Crazies will be crazies, though…
It’s interesting that you’d say that. I was actually having that discussion with my rabbi the other day. One of the reasons I’m proud to call myself a Jew, right there– at least a Jew that belongs to my particular synagogue. As far as we’re concerned, if you’re a decent, God-loving person, no matter what denomination you are, you’re getting into heaven. It’s a warm, fuzzy feeling. =)
Em: That’s your synagogue, but don’t many Hasidic sects believe if you don’t follow the Tora to the letter of the law you’re going to Hell. All religions have those extremists (yes even Atheists), well except Scientology that’s extreme as anything goes, and we have to denounce them as such. Helk (Softer than Hell but strongder than Heck) my old congregation used to believe similar.
I actually live in Topeka, KS where Phelps and the WBC is based and I’d like to apologize on behalf of my city and state. Phelps and his ilk are the exception to Kansans, not the norm. He has no support in Topeka. At this point we just laugh at the daily curbside protests and ignore the WBC. I can assure you that Fred is old and will die soon. I can also assure you that his influence does not extend to future generations of his family. Most of his kids and grandkids have disowned him and his son is even an atheist living in Canada. When Fred dies, the WBC will fall in on itself and die as well if they haven’t been sued into bankruptcy by then.
….
YAY!
See Richard Butler and the Aryan Nations in Hayden Lake, Idaho.
can you save us all the wait and just purchase some c4 and end it all now??
if you’re not sure how to set up c4, i’d suggest watching a few episodes of burn notice or renting any of the bourne movies as they will explain how to purchase c4 from any local shop as long as you use the right words and also how to set it up to be triggered remotely with a cell phone from 200 miles away.
Mythbusters might help, too. They’re always blowing stuff up.
Next week on Mythbusters…..
Somehow I think the discovery channel would reject that episode…. Too bad.
discovery might pass on it… but i have a feeling that’s right up spike TVs alley.
“big man. big boom. dead things.”
isn’t that the spike TV motto?
It should be… could make a great T-shirt logo too… I’m thinking the Navy SEALS would love it.
I have a military unit coin that has a mushroom cloud and around the edge on one side it says, “One Mission. One Bomb. Mass Destruction.” And on the other it says 40 Feet Closer To Hell. It’s from 898th Air Force Munitions Squandron that handled nukes.
*gasp*
i WANT one.
I don’t know how many unit coins I have, but it must be close to 200 (all different, all unique). If you’re interested, you might be able to find one on eBay. I know of a few people that sell unit coins on there, just do a search for Challenge Coin. BTW, they call them that because if you are in a club on base, you can walk up to any military member there, slap your coin down and if they don’t have their’s on them, they owe you a beer. However, if they do, you buy them a beer.
-
As an aside, if you walk into a club on a Navy base and you have your cover (cap) on, if someone rings the bell you buy the bar a round. A very cool tradition and guaranteed to teach you to take your cap off.
i would be the a-hole sitting right by the bell watching the front door. free drinks for me!
This is horrible, but a popular topic of conversation here in Topeka usually begins with, “If the rest of my family was dead, and I found out I had a terminal illness, I’d probably tie a bunch of explosives to myself and…”
“… tie a bunch of explosives to myself and be a totally awesome person who would be honored far and wide.”
Except for the poor guy with the bulldozer who would have to clean up the mess. Ick. Can you be sure to use an explosive which is also incendiary?
i would suggest whatever they used in swordfish when they packed the hostages in the “dog collar controlled explosive vests”. not only did the girl blow up but she caused a hell of a bonfire too.
Violence is not the answer. We simply lock them in a room with ex-lax brownies and only one toilet, see whom hates whom?
you’ve got to make them EAT the brownies though. so you gotta get them stoned first.
Nah. Put a sign up: “Made with God’s Hate of All Things”.
Violence is not the answer. Violence is the question. Yes is the answer. Especially when it comes to c4.
Michael Bay is that you!?!?!
this is why i love froo.
They came to my school a few weeks back. We had about 500 people protesting them. It was actually kind of sad how incredibly we outnumbered them.
Is the lady on the far right using the flag in her pants as a diaper or a maxi pad? Can’t tell from this angle.
Oh sick! I wonder if the rest of it’s coming out the other side…
Isn’t that defacing (? correct word) the American flag?? It is illegal to wear an actual flag as a garment, and this one touches the ground. The flag should never touch the ground. It is very disrespectful, but since they are sporting signs with blasphemy on them, I don’t think they care…
Come to think of it – the signs they are holding don’t even make sense if you look at all the messages at once.
That’s Shirley Phelps, Loony Par Excellence. She loves shoving flags down her drawers. To her it’s a sign of disrespect. To me, it’s a sign of her insanity. You’d think she’d shove it down the BACK of her drawers…I’m just sayin’.
I dodged a bullet this week though. I thought my girl was going to be transferred to Overland Park KS, and that’s just TOO close to those freaks. Luckily it fell through.
Oh, she’s a pig! Burning a flag is one thing, at least that’s they right way to dispose of an old one. But rubbing it on your crotch? Is she trying to have sex with the flag? God hates that.
Amen for this LOL!
I feel sorry for the kids. If I had the chance, I would take them away from these psychopaths because they are being taught some warped ideas…but that is the right of the parents to do that.
Even if they have the right of speech to protest, we can always counter it, no?
God’s allergic to shellfish?
Yes she seems to be making that clam but I think it’s a load of crab.
She’s trying to mussel through her argument.
She should perhaps squid while she’s ahead.
I wanted to post some racy pictures of her, but they gefilte’d out…
*chain breaking*
mmmm gefilte fish. layer on my grandfathers home made horseradish sauce and those little “filtered fishes” taste mighty good.
I think you guys should stop oyster the pot. Ok that was bad…. I just did it for the halibut. Crap not a shell fish….
I had a haddock, but the laughing cured me!
Laughter eel do that, thank cod.
hahaha what morons
Ok, so the Bible acknowledges that men lie to women all the time, and directs them to be more honest with men — what’s that got to do with sex?
Vvvveeeeeeeeeeeeerrrryyyyy funny. =))
I think “lieth” is Bible for boinking!!!!
No, I think that’s “bonketh”
So if you do it standing up, that’s ok, right?
you can’t get pregnant if you do it that way. *nods earnestly*
Well if it’s two guys or two gals bonkething then I sure hope no one gets pregnant or else my Biology teacher owes me some explanations.
my biology teacher was this big fat guy who (i’m not joking, i wish i were) at crisco by the spoonful. he swore that there would be a “famine” coming and the skinny people would be the first to die.
*ate
Did you go to school in Connecticut?
nope. i is an ohioan.
but i went to the god forsaken state up north for college. but i did NOT go to that even more god forsaken school named for that god forsaken state.
Oh come now, Connecticut isn’t all that bad… (er, I AM biased though… born and raised there.)
*comes up with some creative and disgusting way that it could happen*
turkey basters.
hey I cook with those…. man we’re having Ham for thanksgiving now.

God does lolspeak: “Dat not wut I sez!”
Ceiling Cat duz nawt appruv! See link! Leviticus 18:22:
“U can has the secks wiff whover u luvs. Bein ghey is kk.”
Oh. My. Goodness. Makes me wonder who does that site!!
no its not ok but god still loves people even though they sin. that is not in the bible
If you clicked on her name, you would see it is in the lolcat bible, which is rather different from the King James version…which I gather is rather different from the original Aramaic version!
But do you cry? He hates tears, remember.
the_original_shortright – Exactly!
re: “the only people i know who attempt to do that are hasidic jews… and even they don’t manage to follow them all. there are just too many”
That was the whole point of that law. To show Israel they could not follow the law to the letter because they were imperfect and needed a messiah. Those days are gone.
I admire anyone who tries to follow it though because if you’re going to follow it, you have to follow it ALL. You cannot just pick the ones you like and ignore the rest cuz it makes what you say and do irrelevant. Such irrelevancy is demonstrated perfectly by everyone in the WBC.
Is there somewhere where we can donate to the biker militia who interferes with the WBC? That’s a cause I’d enjoy supporting!

This plug brought to you today by the letter “O”…
Don’t know if we can stopper.
H!
i’m a douche. i’m totally ok with it. (go bucks!!)
I!
O!
Plugs ain’t bad, especially for patriotic things. Just after watching like 6 Seasons of the Biggest Loser it’s easy to spot them.
this season was especially bad. “ok guys. great work out. lets all go to subway and get a 6″ sandwich for only $5 and we can fill our brita water bottles to take with us. or you know, we might need some fiber one bars while we’re walking to subway so lets put the fiber one bars into these ziplock bags. great. everyone got on your nikes? lets go to subway. yay!”
that sound about right?
Never watched that, but it sounds a lot like the over-the-top product placement on Top Chef. “For your quickfire challenge, you have 15 minutes to create a dish using this Swanson broth as an ingredient, then everyone pack your dish in this Gladware and load it into the Toyota Highlanders for the drive over to [famous chef's famous restaurant] for judging!”
similar, yes. i’ve watched top chef and i wonder how pissed padma gets when she gets her script and goes “i’m telling them about a challenge and also managing to get in 14 different product placements?! fcuk you all! i quit!”
And some of the placed products are …dubious. Did you ever see the one where they had to use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice? (The stuff that comes in microwave packets.) As my daughter said at the time, “But…that stuff tastes like Play-doh!”
i don’t watch top chef too often and i’ve never used microwaveable rice… i can’t see that ending well AT ALL.
Don’t forget how many times that they told us (even the f-ing contestants did it!!) about the Equal gum that supposedly helps curb appetite. Guess what, I tried the damn gum. It made me hungry.
Hungry…. for BRAINNNNSSS…
-Hops on Eric’s shoulders and begins to chomp-
What? You reminded me of my addiction by being hungry with something wrinkled and purple/pink in your mouth.
i’m… not… going… to… make… the… obvious… sexual… reference.
must resist. muuuuuust resist.
A- for effort; C for execution.
Muuuuust? As in the musty backseat of a car?
Now I’ve that Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young song about Ohio stuck in my head. Thanks, shortright.
“i went back to ohio….” or are you on “four dead in ohio”?
edmund lightfoot’s wreck of the edmund fitzgerald is a good ohio song… and edmund fitzgerald is an EXCELLENT great lakes brewery porter. and edmund fitz ice cream is just *droooool*.
shortright needs beer and ice cream. stat.
Four dead in Ohio. It’s easy to get stuck in your head with that being chanted at the end.
Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming/ We’re finally on our own.
Saw the place where that happened once; it’s still chilling to think about.
my parents met at kent state. i can’t even count the number of times i’ve been on the campus and seen the parking lot with the memorials set up.
If you want a truly humbling experience, visit The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC. While you’re there, look around at the number of vets with tears running down their faces. Trust me when I say you won’t walk away the same person.
Eddie: Most sobering sight I ever saw. A young man who had lost both legs in Iraq was looking at the booths run by the Veterans near the wall (which they moved due to construciton and I’m peeved and somewhat insulted about) and all the guys came out of their booths to shake the young mans hand and say thank you. I was AWESOME to see people underappreciated for their sacrafices honor someone who sacraficed as well. Bring a tear to any man’s eye.
eds – i was there MANY years ago. i was probably 12 years old or maybe even younger. we spent several hours trying to find my dad’s uncle on the wall. we finally found him… the sheer number of names on the wall is just numbing.
Don’t you mean Gordon Lightfoot?
*headdesk*
obviously. i’ve been messing up things like that at work the last few days. time for a vacation.

i think they sell shirts…
the catholic church banned the movie for years (i think it may still be banned). the interesting part…? kevin smith (writer, director and silent bob) is a semi-devout catholic.
lol, I knew that, Shortright. Its good that he can poke fun at his own religion. People REALLY need to lighten up when it comes to that! The world would be a MUCH better place if everyone just said “All right. Our God/Gods/Goddesses love us all. No one religion is the best.That’s all there is to it.” Thus, centuries of fighting would cease! Arrgghh… people need to seriously take their heads outta their butts.
Actually, Kevin Smith has stated that he only goes to church the day before he starts production on a movie and the day before it premiers. He’s not a devout Catholic.
SB, I think that might be the cause of them saying semi-devout.
I’m not sure if church twice year makes you even semi-devout, Tyler
That’s like saying you’re devout because you go to church on Christmas and Easter.
Well hey, if he started mass-producing terrible movies/mini-films, would he become devout?
That makes you a devout Presbyterian. :-X
back when he made dogma he was going a bit more frequently than that. i have some weird edition and it’s got an interview with him in the specials and he talks about how he was going to church regularly before he started making the movie and by the time he was done filming he’d basically stopped going.
I sort of get that and sort of don’t. I mean, Dogma isn’t specifically anti Roman Catholic is it? It’s anti organised religion, but I think pro-Christian. (Oh yes and a great film too)
i think it depends on what opinion you’re bringing with you TO the film. if you’re a christian you may see it as a pro-god movie considering at the end everything is put right by god, etc etc. but if you’re not a christian (atheist, agnostic, muslim, etc) i think you’ll see it as anti-god and anti-religion. because all this doom and destruction came because of the angels… who are supposed to be good creations who work for god, etc.
i’m not sure if that really makes sense. i’m in a bit of a ramble-y mood today.
i think kevin smith came to the film as a christian hoping that in the end it would be a pro-christianity movie but as he was getting deeper into the story he started to see some of the truth in what he’d written as satire. unless he was SUPER devout, i could see that shaking his beliefs a bit.
It might make sense, but then I’m a lapsed Scots Presbyterian Christian with Humanist tendancies (which makes no sense even to me; it just is).
You can’t blame God for the actions of the “angels”, because they were fallen (or was it just cast out?) after all. Then it was all about church structures, not Christianity itself, that created the loophole they were planning to use to get back in.
the angels were cast out. i haven’t seen the movie in a few years but i think it was because matt damon’s angel wanted to kill a ton of people. he’d gotten hammered with ben affleck’s angel and they decided that everyone was sinning and the best way to deal with it was to just kill everyone. as MD’s angel was supposed to be the hand of god that dealt out punishment, god got mad and kicked them both out. also sending down the edict that they coudln’t drink anymore… which was why the metatron spit out his shot of tequila when he was at the mexican restaurant with the last scion.
i think smith wrote the movie to be a satire in regards to what can happen when you let the bishops and everyone “speak for god”. because george carlin’s bishop was the one who decided that anyone walking through the church would be forgiven, thus causing the problem. while it’s more about the structure of the church having problems, it highlighted some of the issues in the church.
what’s to stop a bishop from saying that “playing with altar boys” is part of what god wants them to do? (i know this is an extreme example)… but when you’re giving “mortals” the power to speak on behalf of an “immortal” or “god” then you’re going to have problems.
that was a big part of the reason that the catholic church hated the movie. let alone the whole story line about jesus having siblings and wanting to hook up with mary magdelene… and i’m guessing that the black apostles didn’t sit too well with some of the stodgy old farts in the vatican.
-Grins and giggles-
I love these people, they are so easy to annoy. this is how I imagine a conversation would sound like:
see those signs ask “Has god ever said that?”
“No”
“Then how do you know?”
“Um… **** you.”
“Aren’t you the same people who think that swearing makes you go to hell?”
“crap”
I’ll bet you they’d claim they’re still going to heaven because they’re special and god only loves them not the rest of the world.
on behalf of all christians i apologize for idoits like this.
Apologizing for “idoits”?
Sure. They’re like idiots, only with a large portion of religious fanaticism thrown in.
yes i typed a typo but you got the main idea of it lol
In my religion, the First Church of STFU, it gets exponentially harder to get into Heaven every time you tell anyone else that they cannot get into Heaven.
On the other hand, the tithe is only 2%.
I join your church.
I think “God” said a little bit worse things than that.
I mean, if you read the bible…particularly Deuteronomy.
As the Moabites. They’ll tell you.
Hey, they are right. Maybe they should move… I hear the Afghanistan-Pakistan border has room. Oh, they would actually have to defend themselves rather than have the people who gave their lives so they could protest and call them nasty names do it for them.
I can remember a time when baby killer was the invective of choice for those in the military.. oh, and getting spat on too. I would just soon kick each and every one of their asses, up close and personal, for not even realizing why they have the right to be assh*les.
Thats what they live for — many of them are lawyers and hope to drag people into court. Just remember, somebody gives them money to keep up with their crap, kinda like the whacko muslims, there are always a few that get off on telling everyone else what to do.
I would just like to state that my best friend, Corporal Josh Reeves, was killed in Iraq 2 years ago this coming September, and these yahoos were going to come and protest at his funeral. An honor guard from the Patriot Guard Motorcycle Group came to make sure that these people didn’t interrupt the grieving of his friends, but mostly of his wife and family. (I would also like to state that his wife had just given birth to their son the day before he died.) I hope that you will remember that even if you don’t support the war, support the troops. It’s their 9-5, except that they really do put their lives on the line every day.
I would agree with everything you said, except for one very minor point. Someone in the military isn’t there 9-5, it’s 24/7/365.. Other than that, I’m truly sorry to hear about your friend. I lost many over 35 years ago and wish they were still here.
/hugsqueezes sawdust man
Sorry for your loss. The people in this photo are from Topeka, Kansas and have been at it since at least 1991. They are completely out of touch with reality and have no morals.
Amen to that. My dad is a soldier, and every day, I sit back and think anew at how wonderful this country is, and how immensely proud I am of the men and women that serve. I am terribly sorry for your loss and the loss of your friend’s family. His bravery will never be forgotten, and I am eternally grateful for the sacrifice he made for his country.
if they are baptists why so they have the sign *God is your enemy*
oh and
**********GO CHRISTIANITY ****************
Yes, go Christianity. Go far, far away.
And your arrogance.
arrogance as in you Ceefax.
Agreed. Attitudes like Ceefax’s seriously piss me off.
Oh, pull your bottom lip in.
AHAHAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUK COX.
…and please note, the above is not to attack Catholics, but to point out fallacious reasoning.
Not feeding the trolls… not feeding the trolls…
The comments are a jumping off point, if you’re not interested in learning about other peoples’ views and talking about this stuff, then why in the hell would you be on the boards…
Because segaphile is a troll.. case in point:
What sort of life does segaphile have if they have the time to post that?
-Tries harder not to feed segaphile-
Greatest nation? China’s bigger.
I can’t believe the stupidity of people. God doesn’t hate anyone, hence the reason for Jesus, if you wanna follow the penal substitution atonement theory! God doesn’t like war but he is with those who are fighting.
Grrr, these people make me sooooo angry! They didn’t know the soliders and their faith or relationship with God before they died… ARGGGGGGGGGGHHH…
Technically, God will only love everyone if they accept Him into their hearts as their personal Lord and Saviour. Otherwise, we’ll all get smited when He returns to earth. Jesus said so, so it must be true.
My sarcasm radar is going off, SB?
Well that’s what Jesus was quoted as saying in the Bible, Tyler. Personally, I don’t believe everything I read.
Of course, that’s before we start getting into deep theological arguments like pre-destination. Please, can we not go there; one marathon like Fox News a week is enough!
Agreed! I just posted a freaking NOVEL in the 1/2 hour of Fox thread, I’m exhausted!
U SED PENAL!!!!!!
*15 hail marys*
lolololololol! penal
I HATE THE PERSON WHO PUT UP THIS FLIPPING PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You hate the person who gave us the opportunity to mock these idiots? :/
Are you a member of WBC? That has to be the only explanation as to why you would hate the person that created this caption.
Eddie, I think they may be dumb enough to believe that the person who put this picture on the site was actually attempting to support WBC…
Intelligence and reasoning fail.
The last sentence is directed towards grasie*
Anyone notice the woman on the right, with the American flag stuffed in her pants waistband?
Yeah. It’s touching the ground and therefore sullying and disrespecting the flag.
They shouldn’t be allowed in America anymore… let them protest in other less tolerant places… Let’s get herrrrrr!
Possibly the greatest punditkitchen post I’ve ever seen…
ouch. If I were God, I’d be crying at that. =.= that sounds pretty stupid, even for those who say “God hates America”
If I were God, I’d have slapped these idiots into a coma and itched their foot while they were unable to move.
Then I’d whisper into their ear “Hey, remember me? Yeah, you can’t speak for me. Good luck with that whole sick thing. It’s not like you brought it upon yourself or anything…”
What we should do is drop these idiots straight into the middle of Texas, naked, and watch them hanged for they’re sinful ways, After a stout beating of course.
you guys are mad at that? ha you’re lucky the media doesn’t show all the signs they make! it gets worse
im going to gather my family including my 5 year olds and while smiling: wave signs that say “god hates (insert country your pissed off at here)”
makes you wish you could do a drive-by eh? i would LOVE to see a military humvee drive by with a .50 cal and just waste ‘em, would serve them right
I am so sick of these people…
Hmmph. You’re SO right…. these people hate the US, so let’s let them leave. Deport ‘em. Send ‘em to Iran and see how they like it.
This pisses me off
thts the exact opposite of wat he thinks
it’s tht ppl rlly do this!!!>:(
Let’s start with replacing all the “is” regarding anything to do with bible or religion with “i think/believe”.
I don’t respect anyone who thinks he should spread his/here faith in this way, i don’t even understand why they are so driven to point out all the so called wrongs in others.
If truly you think you are better then the rest and the rest is supossed to die and burn in hell, why bother telling them , isn’t that just a waste of time better spend on praying and stuff? or is it that they seek recognition from others caus the faith isn’t doing it for them
Anyways, i personally think there is no such thing as a god, that s my opinion.
