    In this country, Dad had every right to stand on the corner with his Watchtower magazines. It was the ignorant hicks that beat him that are the ones that needed condemning. To say the gay man who wants to be treated fairly or that Dad or any other JW of the time standing on the corner peacefully (1st amendment in action) exercising thier rights should have cowered instead, that they were "stupid" is to be an ass.

    You can project anger all you want, my opinion here stands.

    Yet again - attacking posters rather than discussing the topic ................surprise us sometime, eh?

    Meh!

    What, no cheap shots about someones past regrets?

    I suggest you both take your best shot, there will be no follow up from me. This started out to be about the topic above and my comments addressed it. Tolerance of others views seems to be very selective with some.

    That STUPID Rosa Parks, eh ?

    That STUPID M.L. King, eh ?

    Why would ANYONE stand up for their rights and the rights of others...? It could be dangerous !

    You could end up dead or famous or make history by changing, opening peoples minds. Or, all of those things.

    It has ALWAYS taken at least ONE (1) person -- to stand up first. To take that first step...must be scary, but, what if...throughout history...no one did ???

    Even your Dad, Gregor, was not STUPID for standing on a public street. He was harming no one. Laws were broken and I hope the guilty were punished severely.

    Can't tell you how many times I have heard black people express the resentment they feel when they see their struggle lumped in with the militant homosexual movement.

    Rabbit has chosen to misunderstand what I said and put words in my mouth that I didn't say.

    Another day on JWN.

    As usual, Gregor derail the thread and make it about his own political observations.

    The man was very brave in using his freedom of speech to argue a human right, and got beaten to death by a brainwashed mob of bigots. I think Gregor should reconsider before he piss to much on the mans legacy and turn it into a story about his dad who managed to get his ass kicked in Bumfuck Nowhere while prozelyting for a cult.

    Got it bohm. I don't like you either and your post is stupid.

    ...your post is stupid.

    ...and not written in bold.

    i think you have an inflated feeling of how important our favorite political team is.

    Sadly, being a quiet coward is the norm today.
