Westboro Baptist Church

And the lads just point out that behind that serious poker face he's a very cheerful/happy(gay)man

Gaieus

lol at anti-tobacco I just realised that y'all call cigarrettes 'FAGS'

Which reminds me of a joke (sorry for the OT one):

The American and the British are talking:

A: "Do you know that guy over the counter?"
B: "Ah, that blond chap with the red cap? I certainly do; he was my fag at Eaton"
A: Well, you guys are surely quite honest here in Britain...

I remember a BBC documentary about them, which some of the other Brits might have seen: Louis Theroux and The Most Hated Family in America. It was interesting and funny as most of his things are, but also disturbing and quite sad, especially for the younger members of the family, some of whom were starting to question what they were told, at the risk of being completely ostracised. There are some links to extra, interesting information at the bottom of the wiki article.

I find it entertaining that the Hell's Angels now offer to police soldiers' funerals to keep that church out and drown out their protest. Maybe not surprising, given their origins, but entertaining nonetheless.

It makes me sad where people use Christianity to forward their own agenda. I saw the documentary on them and all I could do was pray for the children that they are able to see the guff they are being fed.

You KNOW his word - you had great light in your land in the 1600s with the vast array of John's (Knox, Bunyan, Brown, Gill, Trapp, etc., etc.) and you have Bible's everywhere! But your goofy queen and her adulterous whore of a son - YIKES put their hand and you all put your hands to mischief at every turn.

That's tellin em!

remus

Or is it us, Brits and our Queen....

That was a quote from the original post link, in interview with British press. I think it's a funny stupid rant (all the "Johns"), though I do not really like to hear any bashing of the Queen, who is a nice lady. I think the home of Monty Python will have fun with these people. I can see a bunch of blokes dressing in frumpy drag and white wigs and joining their ranks.

Aha...
