[QUOTE=Baldwin] Have they gotten to Antarctica yet? (You know how those penguins are.) [/QUOTE] Bunch of [fags](http://books.google.com/books?id=ls49GMfqtzMC). They’re all gonna burn in hell and you’re a fag enabler for even MENTIONING Antarctica. And I will too for reading your post. God hates pit threads. ---

Ahem. Things you smoke, pick up off the lawn or eat don’t count. Yet. A fag by any other name is still a fag. ---

[/QUOTE] Not bad, but after listening to the Phelps units for half an hour, I think it might be impossible to out-crazy them on the religion stuff. They believe that God is the source of all evil, for his own purposes. They talk constantly about fearing God, and rejoicing every time he kills somebody, because they’re commanded to. For me, the saddest part of that BBC documentary was the 21-year-old girl who occasionally sounded like there might be a sane person in there, wanting to come out. ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] For me, the saddest part of that BBC documentary was the 21-year-old girl who occasionally sounded like there might be a sane person in there, wanting to come out. [/QUOTE] I watched some clips of the Tyra talk show when she had Shirley and her 19 and 20 year old daughters on. Tyra managed to get the daughters to talk about something that was not religion for a few seconds. The girls became so genuine and happy talking about other things they like. It was like they became different people for that brief moment. ---

I went to our mid-week Farmer’s Market here in Topeka, and They Who Must Not Be Named were across the street from the Capitol, on 10th, singing to us! Fag vegetables! At least they let my church alone last Sunday. They’d neglected us for quite a while, then showed up for about three weeks. Now they’re gone again. ---
