		<description>What I find is distressing is that children (even here in Australia) are growing up with these ancient values! Being gay myself, I find this quite disgusting. What is it that&#039;s so darn illegal about us?

We leave THEM alone, but they don&#039;t leave US alone.</description>

		<description>Oh Rose:

Of course I know it. Just joshing. I neither drink nor smoke, and have been doing hatha yoga for 40 years. Yup, that explains it, eh!

Have you ever thought of coming to my.pinknews.co.uk, looking up my profile and planting the seed of frienship with me?

If you have any questions, just ass me...I mean ask me.</description>

		<description>I was thinking of mood music and some relaxing meditation and you know it!!!! 

By the way, when the tornado has done with the Phelps, could it be redirected to Ireland to take out the bloody Robinsons?</description>

		<description>Hey Michael:

From down under!!! Hello from Canada!

How long have you been at it, my friend? 

Do you work in a hospital or as a private nurse... 24/7? 

Bloodwork and cancer. 

I hope you have a loving partner. 

Yea, well, I can easily visualize it, but I would add a panoramic view of water; either a river, a harbour, a bay, or the ocean. 

As a former volunteer Red Cross swimming instructor for mentally and physically disabled children and adults (2 full evenings a week), I can still fit into my navy blue Speedos, and just as I intend to drop dead sooner or later, I want to be cremated wearing nothing but those Speedos. haha!!

Of course, we&#039;ll have to be businesslike so we&#039;ll have to interview those young, bunning...I mean budding DJ&#039;s privately.
Sounds like Christmas in Heaven and all the Angels sing...!!</description>

		<description>Hey JP, as a haematology/oncology/palliative care nurse, your idea has often been a fantasy of mine. 

A men&#039;s wing and a women&#039;s wing, with a mixed common area for social gatherings (which are worked by young budding DJs...). 

None of the private ensuites though.....   a GREAT, BIG communal wet area, where the attendants (health care assistants) get to wear speedos - purely for the comfort of not getting their uniforms dampened....</description>

		<description>Rose:

Wha&#039;? 

If I ever win the lottery, I intend to open my closet to the LGBT community. 

My huge, gay retirement home, complete with male and female palliative care nurses would be called &quot;JP&#039;s Closet&quot;. haha!

En françcais, &quot;Le placard à JeePé&quot;!

...orbiting a sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see are moving at a thousand miles a day, in the outer spiral arm, at 6 hundred miles an hour, of a galaxy we call&quot;The Milky Way&quot;. 

&quot;It&#039;s Christmas in Heaven....&quot; Wha&#039;? No good?

Of course it would have a very special &quot;whirlpool&quot; bath for Phelps and his possee in honor of Matthew Shepherd.That&#039;s as close to a tornado that our engineering techniques can come so far.</description>

		<description>You are right, Flapjack. I&#039;ve never met anyone quite so obnoxious as this lot. I don&#039;t know what I&#039;d do if I was personally confronted by them. I&#039;ve only heard of them because of a TV documentary which I watched with a male gay friend who I almost had to sit on to contain his outrage and save my TV set from harm. They are so far beyond the pale it is unbelievable. And it seems there is nothing to do about it if even the law supports them.</description>

		<description>Rose - I can see what you&#039;re saying, that we should take the moral highground. 
However, from what I&#039;ve seen, many people have confronted the Phelps clan on neutral turf either by provoking them with overt displays of camp or simply confronting them on their bigotry, but it&#039;s all like water off a ducks back as Fred and the 80 people who make up the Westboro congregation have an inbuilt Noah complex i.e. &quot;We&#039;re god&#039;s chosen ones, the rest of you fags and fag-enablers will burn in hell&quot;. Mere criticism means nothing to them as they have a mandate from god (in their own minds). They feed off attrition.
The only way to make them sit up and take notice IMO is to show them how much they&#039;d like it if someone disrupted their own private funerals with a deeply inappropriate public celebration. That&#039;s if they have a shred of empathy for other people left.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not that sort of Christian, Mal. I believe in a god of love for all humanity.

But out of interest I googled the First Amendment to see what it says. 

&quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.&quot;

Under that amendment, anyone has the right to peaceably assemble with placards. So people would have the right to peaceably stand opposite the Phelps clan with anti-Phelps placards. The problem is more placards would only make it even more of a circus sideshow outside of funerals of people who have died tragically. Any right thinking person would try to give them a bit of dignity, I hope. 

But could a peaceful First Amendment demonstration not go stand outside the Phelps property?</description>

As can be seen in the link above some so-called &#039;christians&#039; belive that gay people should be killed. They also believe that God&#039;s law trumps man&#039;s law. So in effect they are urging people to go out and murder gay people. So if your religious belief entails murdering people does that constitute religious freedom and free speech?</description>

		<description>The Westboro freaks show up at pride here in Atlanta every year.  They are the true abomination.

BTW, the building that they call a church has been bombed, but unfortunately, the bomber missed the target and didn&#039;t actually make any kills, which is sad in this case.  

American law, in many facets, is set up to protect the attacker, not the victim.  This is a system in which an armed robber can cut himself on the window that he broke to get into the house and sue the home owner for the injury and win.  Yeah, go America for the fail!

I am an American and there is not a day that passes that i don&#039;t grow increasingly ashamed to be so.  The sad thing is that i feel that it is my duty to stand and fight against the hate that is constantly passed off in this country as law, or constitutional.  The united states constitution is a meaningless scrap of toilet paper these days.  if the majority is pissed about something, they amend the constitution.  How do you amend what a country was founded on.  And just in case it has been forgotten, this country was founded on the principle of freedom from religious persecution, yet, that is what our law makers and lobbyist force upon us everyday.</description>

		<description>Jean Paul Bentham - Yep, Monty Python&#039;s &quot;Meaning of Life&quot; is one of my favourites too, maybe we can get a troupe of drag queens in those low cut santa outfits with the fake breasts showing. 
Which reminds me, a medley of songs from &quot;the Rocky Horror Picture show&quot; such as &quot;I&#039;m just a sweet Transvestite from Transexual Transylvania&quot; would be a good sendoff for him too, if done in full costume!
Any other suggestions to perform at Phelp&#039;s funeral?</description>
