It's one thing to [censored], it's another to file a lawsuit that my city has to waste money on fighting everytime Weinbahm and his cronies get a burr in their ass.
Yeah, I do agree, throwing around lawsuits like that is not the most productive thing ever, but they are just fighting (too) hard for what they believe in, and that i can somewhat justify. Do I agree totally with them taking up a lawsuit over that? No. Do I agree with them fighting for what they believe in, sure.
Does this mean I should sue and fight HARD against EVERYTHING that offends me? Such as, pink shirts? I really hate pink shirts...
If you want to, more power to you, but if you did would it be right for me to start an off the wall post saying something like "Homosexual hater group led by packrat trying to get pink shirts banned..."
In the first place, there is no homosexual hate going on. Not once have I ever said I hate homosexuals, I just don't like pink shirts. Having a pink shirt doesn't make you gay in any sense of the word.
As for you starting a post like that, you probably shouldn't, because you would be perpetuating a lie. As for Packrat starting the post he did, it is a well known athiest group that is suing to have the crosses removed.
I perpetuated a lie to make a point. There are plenty of posts made with titles like "anti american [blank] does [blank]" and "baby killers blah blah" and "the liberals are destroying America by doing....". While maybe this original thread has more credibility due to the fact that it is an "athiest" group, many posts in the common intrest do not have such credibility and aim to overegaggerate and cause disputes. However I do not believe that the group is simply saying, "we are athiests and we want the crosses out". I believe it is more like "we would like to exercise our right to seperation of church and state because we feel it is being violated" regardless if it really does violate their rights at all, thats up for a judge to decide.
