The WBC doesn’t care about god. They care about _money_. Their entire organization is one big money-making scam, where they try to be as offensive as legally possible so that people then attempt to infringe on their rights and they can sue them. _Period_. Give them no more consideration than you would a guy on a corner running a game of Find the Lady.

Wait, squamous \*and \*rugose? Or just squamous?

What on this green earth does “pedantic” have to do with anything?

Really, you make it sound like that is as bad as picketing funerals - whcih, by the way, is very bad, so if anyone wants to stage a demonstration at his funeral, I recommend showing up in sober clothes and maintaining a solemn demeanor. With Rainbow pins, of course.

I also do not understand your OP - you are castigating Phelps for not committing acts of deadly terrorism? Bad as I think picketing funerals is, I would have to say that bombing them would be worse.

In fact, Phelps has declared a Holy War.

So, what your saying is, that they are IRL trolls? And IIRC, Rule 14 of the Internet states that if you argue with a troll, the troll automatically wins. Then that means… _FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU_

Actually, I was going to wear a Guy Fawkes mask, like the rest of my friends.

And that’s fine, as long as you wear a navy blue business suit - black being a bit much for non-family/close friend.

(A woman without a navy blue business suit can wear any dress without warm colors or a floral print. A man without a navy blue business suit should buy one. They come in handy. Actually, any woman should, too, they’re great for job interviews.)
