Fred Phelps. I am gay. If you despise me so much, I dare you:
Send me a one-way ticket to your city. Have a taxi drop me off at your house.

You can have all the witnesses you want.

The media MUST be there.

I want you to look in my eyes as you take my life with your own bare hands. No guns, bombs, or other tools of cowards. A sword or dagger is cool.

I will be made an example of you.

PM me if you want my address. I submit and plea for your mercy.

(But wouldn't setting me up for a date with a chick be easier and a little more legal?)

1. Dude - the guy is a total lunatic.
Don't even waste your energy hating him -- it's simply not worth the effort. :hug:

6. And perhaps I am too.
Who else would rather want to become a martyr for a lost cause anyway?

8. Catcher in the Rye
The teacher said something like "the young man always wants to die nobly for the cause, the older man wants to live quietly serving it."

16. Maybe because you are sad and angry right now
It certainly would be a dramatic way to commit suicide but it would still be committing suicide.

2. Excuse me, Hynotoad...
...but don't you dare try to fob Fred Phelps off on us. You can keep him. But I would be more than willing to kill him with my bare hands though.

4. Trick Phelps? WTF are you smoking? I want to know just how resolute he is.
And if he's got the chutzpah to take a human life with his own hands, so be it.

I think he's a filthy little coward who is nothing more than a load of hot air.

I don't see why you think I want him (you're utterly nuts to even suggest it).

10. I misread and misunderstood your OP.
Edited on Fri Jul-08-05 01:13 PM by skypilot
I read it as you making fun of Fred Phelps. My interpretation was that Fred was saying that he is gay and he wanted someone to kill him for being so. I thought your post was a joke and I was responding with a joke. That's what happens to me occasionally when I'm been staring at a computer screen for too long. I wasn't suggesting that you wanted Freddy. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

3. I missed the backstory on this--
what did that crank say? Obviously it was some kind of death threat towards gays--but it sounds...disturbing.

7. Lately he's blaming us for London. I want the fucker to put up or shut up
for good.

I'm sick of him; he's nothing more than a balloon full of hot helium.

He's going to have to up the ante if he's anything more than a closet-case lunatic with dreams of grandeur and an ego the size of Jupiter.

People love talk. But they're usually utter cowards when it comes to backing up their prattle with real action. The only people who DO kill us are the true cowards; blind listeners to these shit-for-brains crackpots like Phelps; which in turn makes Phelps even more a slimy piece of vermin-riddled excrement.

Of course, if I'm wrong I'd have only a few seconds to apologize to everyone, not that it'd matter anyway... :D

11. What a bastard that man is.
I think you're right, you don't need to worry about that phony. His nutball followers though, well who knows. Trouble with them is you never know where you'll run in to one.

5. You've been posting some disturbing stuff lately
Why not get some gay guys to pitch in for a male stripper for Fred? All he needs is love. Alert the media so they can be there to capture the moment on video.

12. LOL. Everyone needs love.
Phelps is beyond it.

As for me, won't make a difference. But if my supposedly disturbing stuff is recent, then it's got to tie in with the strattera... There is no other reason.

18. Strattera pretty much sucks
Why are you on it? If it's for ADD, it is a total waste of time medicine.

19. Not really...
Strattera has also had the side-effect of improving my metabolism. I'm no longer constantly tired and out of breath and I've lost 15 pounds; hoping for more but I'm just about happy with what I've got...

21. Then try Adderal
Of course, I've heard whispers that they may be taking it off the market. Best of the best for ADD therapy.

22. It contributed to my anxiety problem...
Anxiety brought about by a less than friendly environment of the time...

23. Ah,
Concerta maybe? With a chaser of a light dose of Klonipin? I know way too much about this shit, unfortunately. Concerta tends to be gentler but it is pretty long acting.

13. Don't waste your time with Phelps
He's just another dumb redneck freeper fundie with a brain the size of a walnut. Some people blame every travesty in the world, from natural disasters to bombings, on Muslims; his sort blames them on gays. Nonetheless, they are small-minded bigots with whom reason falls short. They are not worth the time and effort of rational, compassionate individuals.

14. Feeling a little angry tonight?
Don't waste your time on that fuckstain. He's a nonentity. Channel your anger into something productive. There are gay kids all around you who could use a helping hand. We fought our butts off to make sure they would be OK - and things are better and the kids are wonderfully fierce but they still need a hand.


Khash.

15. Why? Even my own gay 'community' treats me like a freak.
2 down, 1 to go. After tonight I'm exterminating my social life for good. No point... it's better that way... for me.

24. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!
The bars are NOT the gay community! The best you can hope for from that scene is a lot of attitude made to make you feel very small and worthless and occassionally a random blowjob.

My suggestion still stands. Get involved with working for gay kids or marriage equality or protections for gay/lesbian soldiers - anywhere gay and lesbian people get together. Join the fucking Gay Darts League or something! You'll still run into a lot of assholes, but you'll also meet a lot of interesting, nice people.

The Goddess helps those who help themselves. And right now, my friend, you are not helping yourself at all.

Khash.

(How do you know what those people in the bar staring at you were thinking? If I saw you in a bar I'd stare at you too cuz I think you're kinda cute. Are you sure they weren't staring for the same reason?)

25. Come back to the pack, man...
We'd rather have you around than Phelps anyway.

Isn't one of his disowned sons gay, BTW?
