I guess he never heard about Xena, the Warrior Princess.

(525 posts)It probably hasn't dawned on anyone, but what if this guy and his wife are using Phelps tactics in order to draw exactly the type of response so that he can file lawsuits?
It isn't any skin on my back, and I enjoyed seeing him beat down too, but I cannot help but think that he got exactly the type of reaction that he wanted, knowing that either the school (although I am not so sure about that part) or the individual can be held liable.

Not what you want to hear when you are hung over from that keg party the night before.

(15,379 posts)There was one regular who was talking about homosexuals, and I said that homosexuality is seen in animals so by definition since it ws happening in nature, it was natural. He said that God gave man dominion over the Earth, and man's sin covers the Earth which causes what looks like sinful behavior in animals. "So, there are two gay male monkeys going at it right now... I mean GOING AT IT... and it's my fault?" He chose to ignore me after that, but everyone now and then, I would yell, "Tell us about the gay monkeys, damn it!" I became known as Gay Monkey Man on campus.
Years later, I went to a talk by James Randi. I was the fourth person in the room. Randi was setting up, and there were two people my age. We looked at each other with quasi-recognition, and they asked, "Are you... Gay Monkey Man?" That piqued Randi's interest so I got to tell him the story. He laughed.

If we are going to condone violence against those whose speech we don't like we really have no ground to stand on when others act against speech they do not like.
I recall it wasn't long ago there were demands for harsh punishment for someone who ripped up a BLM sign. In that case it was only a crime against property, this is a crime against a person.

Good thing she didn't have a cast iron pan in her book bag. Might be facing even more serious charges.
Were her actions right? No.
Just? Wellllll........
