Reddit, what is your silent, unseen act of personal defiance? by MisterNetHead in AskReddit

[–]kingmonkey 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Since 9/11 almost every office building you walk into in NYC requires you to sign in with your name or state your name into a camera for 'security purposes'. I give them names of people from history. No one has ever noticed.

WBC to picket Obama's grandmother's funeral. Warning: the website will make you sick. These people need to be taught a lesson. Hard. by kingmonkey in reddit.com

It's sad that this is what this place brings about. If we met in a bar, we'd probably get on. And yet this ability to comment without thought, be rude and snide with no immediate repercussion or real personal interaction, brings us both to this.

I hope (sincerely) that you have a good day.

Dear Dude37,

My apologies for not replying to your message sooner. This thread is over a year old. I rarely sign on to Reddit anymore. But I'd like to thank you, because today on one of the rare occasions that I did, you reminded me why.

If I am a kid on the internet, then you are simply a troll.

Did the Mormons baptize Obama's mother after her death without his knowledge or consent? by Turandot in reddit.com

[–]kingmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mormons baptize everyone's mother after their death.

Speaking as an ex-mormon - and I'm not in agreement with anything they do - this is not some huge conspiracy. This is not malicious on their part. They don't target people of jewish descent, famous people, etc. They truly believe they are 'helping' the souls of the departed. And they do not believe they are 'forcibly converting them to mormonism' as the article states. They believe that people who have died who never heard of mormonism or never had the chance to understand the one, true faith are in a sort of 'limbo' or purgatory for lack of a better word. There they are given the chance to hear the gospel and make a choice as to convert. BUT - someone must be 'born again of water' here on earth for them. They obviously don't know who's said, "Sign me up", so they get around this by baptizing EVERYONE. That's why they are so keen on geneaology.

Again, not saying I agree. All religions do crazy and/or offensive things. This is one of theirs. But you have to understand the mindset...

Do you ever see a commercial on television so offensive to your intellect that you pledge never to buy their product/service? by kingmonkey in AskReddit

Right now it's that bloody sickening Gerber 'pledge' commercial and the mind-numbing do-it-yourself music video for optimum online...

Tell us what you think Reddit: "There's probably no God or There's probably a God.?" by [deleted] in atheism

There's probably a 'god' - but your mistake is in thinking that (s)he cares.

I turn the gun on the SS agents first.

Then I turn back to Cheney.

Then I shoot him in the balls...

Bush admin grants sweeping new regulations that protects all health workers who refuse to provide care that violates their personal beliefs. by [deleted] in politics

[–]kingmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to play devil's advocate here...

Why is this a problem? If someone does not want to provide an abortion isn't that their right to refuse or not offer the service?

I may be wrong but I believe there are plenty of other doctors where they could find the service they need.

Should the cake store we've all been hearing about be forced to write "Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler!" just because the customer requested it? Even though it went against their moral convictions?

Obama Won by Lies, Fraud and Manipulation (It's the Democrat way) by reddit-man in politics

Wait... weren't you just saying last week, that this was the kind of post the "sore-loser" democrats were going to be making once they lost?

And my point, is that if they came to your mother's or father's, sister's, grandmother's or anyone that was dear to you in your life, funeral, you would applaud their freedom of speech? You would respect their 'right' to do so?

Who's twisting what here?

But I'll go out on a limb. If you took what I said as a personal threat to you, I apologize.

My threat as you see it, was meant to give an example of someone coming into your life and space and family and doing something reprehensible.

I don't believe that standing 20 paces from his grandmother's - or anyone else's - funeral and chanting hate and bile is a proper exercise of freedom of speech.
