Porn signs

MisledMayhem	Date: May 13, 2004 @ 12:54 AM Man, this porn shop opened up in my town(11,000pop) and man, they put up this gigantic yellow sign that says "ADULT SHOP" right on the freeway so people driving by see, hmm McDonalds, Burgerking, KFC, PORN! It's great because it set off this huge reaction in the town. A lot of the local churches have started picketing every single day. They harass all the people going in or out of the shop trying to put them out of business, they even go as far as to take pictures of all of them and put them up on the internet as perverts who watch porn. You would think that that's illegal.
kingo	Date: May 13, 2004 @ 12:16 PM Well shit, man. You need to organize a whole bunch of porn watchers with cameras to get together and picket their fucking churches. Put pictures on the internet as "idiots who go to church when they should be at home jerking off." That'll teach 'em.
chrismacmanus	Date: May 13, 2004 @ 1:04 PM You know, something similar happened with the opening of a strip bar in Belfast(popn 500,000), N.Ireland in the end they got their way and we are now titty-bar free (apparently not a bad thing, the girls were meant to be a bit rough, we just don't have the flare for that kinda thing here )
MisledMayhem	Date: May 13, 2004 @ 8:44 PM Ya, I doubt the porn shop will last, but yes it would be awesome to go picket their churches lol And be like, "God gave us geneitalia! Let's use it!!" hahaha

MisledMayhem	Date: May 15, 2004 @ 7:05 PM It's in town, they just can't afford a giant bilboard.
robbydadrummer	Date: May 15, 2004 @ 7:48 PM quote: they even go as far as to take pictures of all of them and put them up on the internet as perverts who watch porn. church people are idiots. it's better the "perverts" get it from a store than go out and rape some woman... or even worse, a child. people are gonna be perverts anyways... it's human nature.
BedroomSessions	Date: May 16, 2004 @ 6:11 AM yeah and often enough its the fucking church people who it turns out has been shagging some young girl or something like that. or worse still...priests
figfarmer	Date: May 16, 2004 @ 12:16 PM I would find it very irritating to live in a place where people believed in fairy tales so strongly that they would obstruct someone's business.
SweetTemptation	Date: May 16, 2004 @ 6:11 PM most of these people protesting, have had sex. So what they are objecting to is people watching people having sex. So I wonder what they have seen that makes them so uncomfortable.
MisledMayhem	Date: May 17, 2004 @ 9:05 PM I dunno, porn isn't in the bible, so it must be a sin by default. They're still at it too, the protests haven't stopped. But oh well, at least people are being active about something, some people protest about sweatshops and the wto, other people aparently protest about a pornography store that "degrades" a town's morals. I've heard that my town is one of the leading Meth distrubuters in the united states per. capita. And also one of the leading towns as far as churches per. square mile, such an interesting combination, Meth addicts and Christians against porn. I don't think The Dalles was that moral anyway, people just don't have to get sued by the RIAA for downloading it now, they can just go support the economy.
alexamustang	Date: May 18, 2004 @ 2:16 PM i agree with what you say...except demo's against the wto make sense. They 'free up trade' for poorer countries so trans national corporations (eg. starbucks) can rape their resources and take the profits back to their own country- leaving the poorer country with depleted resources and environmental issues...and no money to repair these problems. Also leads to child labour...industrialisation of the third world is not a pointless thing to demonstrate against. Unless that is the point you were making, i didnt read what you wrote exactly...
jeddak	Date: May 18, 2004 @ 6:12 PM Don't allow the picketers to represent all Christians. Not all "church people" are repressed or kooks. There are enlightened, politically-liberal people who attend church. However, they're not as loudly vocal as the ultra-conservative, right-wing, evangelical crazies... Kind of like viewing al-Quaida fanatics as representative of all Muslims - bad idea. * speed freaks for Christ! *
Distilled1	Date: May 18, 2004 @ 7:02 PM speed freaks for Christ! now that has a nice ring to it althogh I preffer, "tweakers for the Trinity!"
chrismacmanus	Date: May 23, 2004 @ 2:02 PM There's a fish and chip shop beside a sex shop in belfast - i've not ventured into either, but can only imagine how the smell of fish must compliment the smell of laytex and leather
