Now, I searched for other Westboro topics, but I'm not exactly too sure on where to put this. It's about a month old interview by a guy on youtube with a couple of people from the Westboro Church.

Video Here

It just blows my mind that people can be so ignorant of the world around them. Or, well, not ignorant, they choose to not listen to anything that would put dents in their logic. All the actions they (mainly the Westboro followers) do. I mean, the way the older lady in that video acted was very rude, I can't stand it.

What's your opinion on the interview, Gaf?

If this should be merged into another Westboro thread, mods, make it so.
Also, mock and lock if old.

These fuckwads are flying over to my city in October to protest at a church where a gay minister works or something.

 

[Tornado Condor]

It's really unfortunate that these fuckwads are equipped with lawyers.

 

[99hertz]

I think God is using steroids.

 

[DoctorButt]

those fuckwads!

 

[99hertz]

6 mins. in. He's going to talk about evolution. This isn't going to go anywhere.

 

[jdogmoney]

I'm just...I'm exhausted. I tried to watch thirty seconds and I couldn't. This sort of thing is so tiresome.

Pass along this story to as many people as possible and maybe these idiots will experience the same resistance. The worst thing people can do is acknowledge them and give them attention.

 

[Tornado Condor]

Wow, i just watched the whole video. Talk about ignorance...

 

[ajim]

People should just cease doing interviews with these morons. I don't know how these people can have so much hate.

 

[Tony Rocky Horror]

Wow, i just watched the whole video. Talk about ignorance...

You just gained so much respect in my book, I just straight couldn't handle it for more than 3 minutes.

Edit: The Wikipedia page for Westboro Baptist Church says it only has 71 members? How come that there is still so much attention for a small group of lunatics? Ignoring them seems like the best option to me..

I find it strange that most of them are of the same family. Where the hell are they all coming from?

Spoiler

incest, no one else will breed with them.

 

[Monocle]

We need to somehow convince WBC to start mocking Zeus's family. Within a few minutes the problem would take care of itself. That guy doesn't fuck around.

 

[DonMigs85]

We are still not yet living in an enlightened world.
I mean, you can still be religious and not be THIS stubborn and cuckoo.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

It's really unfortunate that these fuckwads are equipped with lawyers.

It's really unfortunate that people interview these fuckwads too.

A Westbro Baptist Church family vacation, puke

 

[DonMigs85]

I'm surprised nobody has ever attempted to snipe them yet.

 

[GavinGT]

I'm surprised nobody has ever attempted to snipe them yet.

I support this. You know a guy?

Just the kind of stupidity the Westboros encapsulate.

 

[DonMigs85]

Just kidding

 

[Mortrialus]

The thing is, they are one of the best arguments for atheism out there.

 

[Veelk]

Just watched the whole thing. I am amazed - AMAZED - he didn't punch her in the face. Or atleast leave. Just holy shit, the way she talked over him, insulted him, and asserted her logical fallacies arguments is ridiculous. Jesus Christ.

They exhibit none of the qualities Christ was known for. They twist everything to suit their needs.

so according to these tards ONLY 71 people go to "heaven" loooool

 

[Mortrialus]

Actually the Westboro Baptist Church doesn't believe all of its members are going to heaven and believer certain members are doomed to hell.

 

[MrHicks]

that just describes 99% of christians

 

[Dice]

Stop giving them attention. It's such a simple strategy. Don't put them on TV, don't report about them in the news, don't look at them when they show up to protest your shit. They don't deserve attention, they don't deserve to be asked questions, they don't deserve anyone making an effort to understand the reasons why they do this. They are asshats, simple as that. Why care just because they put "Hell" and "Jesus" on their bullshit? Just ignore them like you do any other fucktard.

 

[Zaptruder]

Oh hey, another thread about the proverbial dog shit stuck in the grooves of our shoes.

Gaffers are such coprophiliacs.

[thomaser]

They blamed the Norwegian terror-attack on the gays too. God's punishment for letting gays marry, or some such.

 

[Eversynth]

Cant' watch the video, volume too low, can't understand... but...
Aren't they just opportunists, going around to create controversy so they can sue a lot of people for easy bucks?
I seem to remember there were a lot of lawyers between their ranks.

Unfortunately, they are exploiting the laws about freedom of speech and religion...

 

[Ryaaan14]

Westboro are the ultimate trolls. That's literally all it boils down to.

The only way to kill a troll is to ignore it completely, yet as a nation we cannot due to the content they put out.

George Takei vs. Westboro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H-5zzY7rOI

Poor George. He tries to be such a good guy to even the most obstinate people.

 

[Mohonky]

How can you call it an interview?

They just keep interrupting and talking over him incessantly, then they scorn him for interrupting them to get a word in. It's infuriating to watch.

 

[Casp0r]

Anyone else come in here thinking this was a game of thrones thing about Westeros?

 

[TGMIII]

I don't see why they keep getting so much coverage but I guess it's fun to hurt yourself listening to them.

 

[Joel Was Right]

This wasn't an interview but a 20min heckling. Margie Phelps was asking him to let Megan Phelps finish quoting scripture, and yet would never let the interviewer finish his question out of resentment for his mere existence.

 

[Lost Soul]

Such horrible people.

 

[Tesseract]

crazy backwater fucks.

George Takei vs. Westboro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H-5zzY7rOI

Wow, that was quite the crazy interview. Kinda surprised she took all that and still tried to hammer her thoughts across. Props to George for staying so damn calm.

 

[tiff]

Looks more like an argument than an interview. Useless all around.

 

[Scrow]

It just blows my mind that people can be so ignorant of the world around them. Or, well, not ignorant, they choose to not listen to anything that would put dents in their logic.

yeah, wilful ignorance vs. "innocent" ignorance, which i can forgive.

also, haters gonna hate.

 

[Locke_211]

I'd never heard that 'two men in one bed' line, from Luke 17:34. That's interesting!

 

[Mulligan]

I'm going to hell? Come at me boro.

 

[daviyoung]

What is the actual reason these people are given any kind of attention? Because they're easy targets?

I really want to know why there's so much focus on this lot.

 

[mclaren777]

They are much more reasonable when they're not yelling.

 

[daviyoung]

They are much more reasonable when they're not yelling.

Haha. Really?

 

[mclaren777]

Haha. Really?

Yeah, I'm actually bummed that he was so confrontational. I was hoping for more of a Q&A and less of a debate.

 

[Raist]

Yeah, I'm actually bummed that he was so confrontational. I was hoping for more of a Q&A and less of a debate.

lulz.

Anyway, saw that interview a few weeks ago and yeah, complete waste of time. I'm not sure why he even tried. His interviews with Ray Comfort are much better. He's batshit insane as well, but it's quite good fun. He also did one with Dawkins which was quite interesting.

an excellent description. It's easier not to care about these people, they won't influence anybody that already isn't terminally stupid, nobody takes their views seriously so who cares? What's annoying is they don't get the shit beaten out of them at funerals, but oh well.
