I guess my reaction to them is just that; laughter. Dunno. You and I must have a completly different sense of humor, 'cause all it did for me was get me seriouslt PO’d. I mean _who the fuck do these thugs think they are_, ganging-up on a guy who’s making some very legitimate points. Such as the murder of that woman, swamping his house with pamphlets while being called a “wife-beater” and “child-molester.” All that after being told by a COP that he couldn’t go through a PUBLIC street. In a sense I admire the guy’s coolness. If it was me, it’s more than likely I wouldn’t have any film, nor the camera for that matter, for I would have used it to break the little zombie’s face – the one that kept sticking his mug up to the lens and asking for “crime confessions.” Of course, afterwards I’d just turn to the other two and say “Well, I just broke that little turd’s jaw. Does that count and can I come in now?” Fuck these people and their fuckin’ gods. Or whatever bullshit it is they believe in. ---

> [@Corn Syrup](#): > > I dunno, I have a friend that’s a Scientologist and he’s a very nice, sane, and educated guy. Apparently he doesn’t follow it strictly by the book, but picks and chooses the stuff he agrees with. He assures me that Xenu is **not** taken seriously by him or any Scientologists he knows, and admits it’s a little embarassing. > > I was raised Catholic and have recently become an agnostic, but this guy showed me a little bit of what they call “Study Technology” and I found myself amazed by how much the techniques worked for me. Personally I do find the past life stuff a little fishy, but I haven’t studied up on it and only a fool believes everything he reads on one-sided websites. > > I’m also not sure about the anti-depressants being a world evil, but I do think we’ve gone a little overboard with medicating children for everything. > > The subject does interest me though and I think some of you are being unfair, calling every Scientologist a nutcase because you all of a sudden have a degree in theology from a few **Anti** -Scientology websites. John? John Travolta? Is that you? ---

Doing a search for it, “[Scientology Street Fair](Scientology Street Fair)” takes you to the video. But clicking on th link to it, you’ll find a note that says: [This video has been removed by the user.](http://www.youtube.com/index?&session=gAJ9cQEoVQxlcnJvcl9maWVsZHNxAmNfX2J1aWx0aW5fXwpzZXQKcQNdhVJxBFUGZXJyb3JzcQVdcQZVKFRoaXMgdmlkZW8gaGFzIGJlZW4gcmVtb3ZlZCBieSB0aGUgdXNlci5xB2FVCG1lc3NhZ2VzcQhdcQl1Lg==) Cue ominous music… ---
