Everything has its place and everything in its place right? tmtoulouse ^plague 17:06, 23 November 2007 (EST)

It bothered me. --Signed by Elassint the Great ^Hi! 17:08, 23 November 2007 (EST)

But I have no opinion on atheism, I thought we were talking aout homophobia. Susan^{... miaow ...} 17:12, 23 November 2007 (EST)

You know, this artical needs major improvment. Anyone willing to jump in? --Signed by Elassint the Great ^Hi! 17:40, 23 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] truly pathetic

I see references to conservapedia, fred phelps, jerry falwell, and "groups of Christians". Where is the link to Ahmadinejad? Where is the link to Iran? Are you aware of what goes on there? This truly reveals much about this site, and the prejudices of its users. user:Bohdan 22:48, 19 December 2007 (EST)

Yes, i do agree with you on this. 98.17.14.164

Go to the wikipedia article on Human rights in Iran. user:Bohdan 22:53, 19 December 2007 (EST)

Woah. I would hate to live there. 98.17.14.164 22:57, 19 December 2007 (EST)

Instead of complaining, make it better! Researcher 23:00, 19 December 2007 (EST)

You are a researcher, I am a complainer. user:Bohdan 23:01, 19 December 2007 (EST)

How delightfully Jewish of you :) --Wandalise me Bohdan! RA ^{talk stalk}_{Over 145 edits!} 19:29, 20 December 2007 (EST)

Did you just make an racist comment? I think you did. 98.17.14.164 15:15, 22 December 2007 (EST)

No, I was complimenting him on his incessant kvetching. --Wandalise me Bohdan! RA ^{talk stalk}_{Over 270 edits!} 15:19, 22 December 2007 (EST)

Jewish = Complaining = stereotype = racist.

[edit] I just moved the caption

from the picture to here.

'"But he hates this guy even more.'"

I have come to believe that voicing our opinions here is fine as long as they are deemed in-line with the Rationalwiki dogma. I think that posting what God thinks (ignoring the point that the existence of God, or rather non-existence of god, is the party line here) is going a tad too far, even as a jest. Carptrash 13:37, 8 November 2008 (EST)

I disagree... the point of the caption is pretty clear - it makes fun of the guy in the picture claiming to know what God thinks... ħuman ^{there is no cabal} 13:50, 8 November 2008 (EST)

No problem. I do understand the irony implied here, just think it's . . ......... uncalled for. The guy is pretty much carrying a sign that says, I'm an idiot. No need to drag either " god " or " hate " into it any more than he already has. Carptrash 13:54, 8 November 2008 (EST)

How about a caption that reads "In English, the sign says "I am an idiot""? Eh, not very funny. Can you think of a better caption? ħuman ^{steadfastly refusing to drink the green Mowse-Ade} 14:09, 8 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] Meanwhile, another unsolicited (subjective - thus highly suspect) story.

Years ago a retired NFL (National Football League -American style football, that is) played named Reggie White, - who was also a fundamentalist minister - hit the talk show, lecture circuit carrying a message that, among things, many folks felt was racist and homophobic. So my wonderful, supportive and long-suffering partner and made a sign that said,

"Discrimination has a face. Is it yours?"

and headed out for what we believed would be a demonstration at my college alma mater where the Rev. White was "preaching". We sidled up to a large group of sign totting folks across the road from the auditorium and staked out a place, ready to do what ever needed to be done. The folks in the crowd looked us over and finally an intense youngish (younger than me) woman came over and informed us that this was a demonstration pushing black values and so as white folks (so now you know) we were not welcome.

We had been kicked out of the anti discrimination demonstration because of our race.

However, we'd been at this game a lot longer than most of them, so we crossed the street, got by the main entrance and forced everyone entering the hall to read our sign while I took pictures of them. Actually I ran out of film (this was way before my digital life began) early on, but continued to click away, shooting blanks at folks. Because of our placing we got the press coverage, which sort of felt good and sort of not.

Wait. What was your question again? Carptrash 13:58, 8 November 2008 (EST)
