That's the issue that Stetson doesn't want to answer.
It may be arguable that priests/ministers/imams/leaders should have to accept some form of heckling or disagreement if they use their pulpits(?whatever) to issue racist or other hateful thoughts, although I would tend to think that "religious" services should not be interrupted. A strong public statement of disagreement should be allowed as "free speech", if necessary.
But why should a funeral for a truly innocent victim be allowed to become a political-agenda parade? Why is hate speech in need of protection in this case?
Not to mention: why is hate speech necessary at all? It is possible to express disagreement without being hateful, and it is necessary to express disagreement without being hateful if you are actually a Christian or Muslim or Buddhist or Jew or just about any other flavour.
The reason we have laws limiting speech is exactly that: there is no need to express hatred at any time. Even an atheist will tell you that.
So why should we protect hate speech at all? (I guess I'll start a Purg thread)

Because, as I said before, I don't think a bad law should be legitimized through enforcement. I could phrase the argument this way...
There are two questions I could ask about this issue:
1. Do I favour that s.176 should be on the books?
2. Do I think that s.176 should be used against Phelps?
Now, my answer to the first question is "no", for reasons I have outlined elsewhere in this discussion. And, having answered "no" to the first question, I don't see how it would be ethically consistent for me to answer "yes" to the second.
And yeah, the idea of picketting funerals makes even a guy like me question the wisdom of holding fast to the liberal orthodoxy on speech issues. However, upon consideration, it seems to me unlikely that this law would stop Phelps from inclting emotional misery in one way or another.
It's pretty clear that the whole point of the Westboro group is to make themselves hated by disrupting the most solemn events imaginable. Now, if they're hellbent on doing that in Canada, I don't think that they're gonna be deterred by the fact that they can't legally disrupt funerals. They would likely just find another equally sacred target that it would be legal for them to go after. For example, they could go to cancer hospitals and carry around signs saying YOU'RE ALL GOING TO HELL CHEMO-FREAKS!! on the front sidewalk. I suppose someone would try to argue that medical facilities are covered by s.176's "bevevolent groups", but do we really want to be adding a huge sector of the economy to the list of places that it is illegal to picket? Even if we did do that, I don't think that Fred Phelps Esq. would have much difficulty coming up with numerous methods of hitting people in their most vulnerable moments, all legal under Canadian law. I can think of about half a dozen off the top of my head, though I shall refrain from posting them here.

Well, it's like this, Spikey: you post here, you paint a great ringed, dayglow sphincter upon your forehead that all can take pot-shots at. The last thing you want to do is whine about others target practice. If out of your league, best to deflect sarky comments with self-effacing rhetorical posts implying your antagonist has missed the mark. Otherwise you simply confirm their criticism. If you haven't the wit or wherewithal to compose a suitably witty response, simply ignore them. [Zwingli is a good example of this tactic]
I know it's difficult for a nice person like you to accept - but there are mean people like jlg just waiting to take advantage of your basic good nature in order to make themselves look clever or tough. Try finding some personal attribute [short, old, anglican...bald ] that may be sensitive and withwhich you can compose a blistering rebuttal.
Meanwhile, go polish your Hummels.

that's a Hummel?
bummer.
though I'd agree with the reason to own a big hammer identification. the Hummels I know fit that description. but "cute" or even "sickeningly sweet" would not qualify. closer would be "inbred" "freakish" "unwashed since the Truman administration" and "stalkeresque".
and no, I have nothing like that in my home. but then, I lack the "cute and cuddly" gene myself.

That was in Maryland, where groundhogs are the size of a medium dog. We have NOTHING that large in Georgia. It was larger than a 'possom or raccoon.

Paddy - this is exactly the kind of thing RooK was talking about in the other thread. this lacks any sort of class or subtlety or "betterthanyew" ethos, and therefore is just laughable as far as Hell rebuttals go.
Seriously, this sounds like a half-hearted attempt at "tough" cred. like those boys who talk about sex all the time - the more they talk about sex, the less they've ever experienced.
Am I right?
those of us who have ballistics and a variety of sharp objects in the home seldom feel the need to discuss them. So, by saying you're polishing your gun collection, you're in essence telling the denizens that you're about as rough and tough as a preschool teacher's aide.

basic rules of Hell -

2) the tenth time, it is best to appear to be talking over the head of the other person, so as to maintain the aloofness schtick.
3) keep all anger to yourself and your computer desk. dont post until you can sound like you really couldn't care less what the other denizens think.
4) if you really want to sound intimidating, use lots of syllables. make some up, even. and write long text-dense posts about how the other person is wrong because, according to the 12th century philosopher Logorrheus, the synergy of the creation myth with the story of the 3-legged giraffe of Luxembourg means that anyone arguing the outdated theology of Cartouche's Brioche is obviously compensating for the innate miniscule size of their rhinocephalon and couldn't truly tell their adventita from a hole in the ground.
then, even if you dont know what you're talking about none of us will argue because we will have fallen into a coma by your third sentence.
Seriously, there is an art to this place. get your undies out of a knot and you might learn something... and have some fun, eventually. because despite what RooK said on the other thread, I was teasing you, in a har-har-aren't-we-buds kind of way. your response shows a complete lack of Hellish Cool. You can overcome this, I promise.

Gun collections are like Japanese body tattoos. They are assembled over a lifetime, and are a physical expression of a person's inner self. As it is so personal, it isn't casually shown in public.
Both a body tattoo and a gun collection are meant to be exposed once in a deep expression inner beauty to someone who truly appreciates it.

This is in no way an appeal to all of you for sympathy because I know better. I am prepared for all the snotty things you will say about how dumb I am, how immature, how pedestrian my thoughts on any subject are, how lame I am, how boring, saccharine, moronic, etc, etc. Have I covered all the insults? I'm sure I haven't. I'm certain you will tell me what I've missed.

No, no, my dear. The Deep South refers to the US States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. I live in the Great Lakes Region, in particular Southern Ontario or Upper Canada.
The Scottish school system seems to be slipping.

As far as I am concerned, you are all effete southerners (along with people from Yorkshire).
OK, there are people to the south of you, but that is irrelevant.
And my education owes nothing to Scottish schools: my original and independent habit of thought (in contradistinction to yours, which seems pitiably in thrall to convention) was forged in other fires.

You can't beat the romance of a dead furry critter. A relative of mine went on a hunting-moon.
Nothing reaffirms your manliness like killing and butchering a deer. Though nothing beats the taste of bear.
Mmmm, bear. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It would be funny, but I wouldn't recommend it.
IIRC, Matthew Shephard's murder was triggered by hitting on (?) a straight man in a bar. I'm NOT in any way, shape, or form blaming Matthew. Just saying that the proposed action could be very dangerous.
And I suspect that Fred is mentally ill, deeply closeted, possibly an abuse survivor, or some combination of the three. If someone pushed his buttons by hitting on him...

Phelps is one ugly bastard. Who in their right mind would even make a pass at the old coot? He's an ugly, ugly man, both physically and spiritually. I don't believe in a fallen angel that people call Satan but certain humans are incredibly evil and are devilish. Fred Phelps, take a bow.

According to the local paper, while the fire department has not made an official determination of the cause of the fire at Phred's compound, one of his children is sure that it was set intentionally.
Once again I had the joy of seeing the clan out picketing on my way into church today.

How sure? Irrefutable evidence? Gosh they are disgusting; they make Mrs Iris Robinson look enlightened and reasonable.

Dear Lord! Having to share a town with the Phelps Clan? You and neighbours must be models of patience to have to live with that circus.

Yes, I thought about that jibe but didn't go for it. That'll teach me to pull my punches.
