Reposted from the lounge.
I was thinking about the pictures on wearenotsorry.com (justly gone from the internet now), and how so many of the freeprs there (and freepers in general) pose with guns. Well, I have guns too, and no one is going to find a picture of me posing with them. Why? Because I don't want to. Why? Because I don't feel the need to like they do.
Those pictures are clearly designed to intimidate, and puff up small people that have little self-worth with the idea that they are some kind of terrifying superwarrior.
So...I had a thought to start the I Am Not Afraid webpage, where people could put up their picture and a statement that they will not cower to intimidation. However, I really don't know much about web design. Can anyone help me out? Anyone interested in this idea?
The only way to win against bullies is to stand up to them. I am not afraid.

to wear Religion on their sleeve.

and anyone who says that the Dominionists aren't trying to intimidate us isn't paying attention. Just look at Dobson's letter to Bush. Again: intimidation only works if someone is intimidated. I am not afraid.

3. I think it is a great idea! |
|
Unfortunately, I have no clue as to how to put up a web site...I hope someone can help you do it though- let me know if it materializes. BTW- What James Dobson letter are you referring to? I missed that. I HATE Dobson. Self righteous promoter of dysfunctional parenting. Fuck him. bhn

4. The letter has been on the DU front page all weekend |
|
It is probably still there too...if not, it was a congratulatory letter to Bush, talking about how he should feel free to begin Christ's reign on earth and how we liberals hate him because we hate Christ. Utter crap.

I did not realize that Dobson was the author. What a fascist. I am so sick and tired of these people. Wolves amidst the flock. BHN

7. If you want to do the web site, let me know via email: |
|
northwind@strangegaze.com
I do interactive multimedia and web design for a living, and I license a PHP based CMS (content management system) that could handle what you are talking about. I could even donate some hosting services, provided the bandwidth did not get out of hand.
Only caveat is that I am moving in two weeks, and so could not give it much attention until after then.
