Conservatives terrorizing our children. Happy halloween!

People are free to pass out those "hateful" books. Yep...freedom. Someone comes to your door and holds out a bag. You can drop in a booklet talking about religion.

 

nope

So wait, you're absolutely fine with kids walking up to the homes of strangers to ask for candy, but you think it's ridiculous that the stranger would give them a little not or pamphlet with that candy? Does this go for strangers distributing any pamphlets, or just the ones you don't like?

 

The kids come knocking on the door because that's what kids do on Halloween. What's the difference between dropping these tracts into Halloween bags and dropping in pornography?

 

The phrase "trick-or-treat" isn't meant to be taken literally.

These youngsters don't know what it means, for the most part.

Some of them can barely tie their shoes.

 

You can't drop in pornography.

And you shouldn't be free to proselytize other people's children, especially with a hateful, non-traditional version of a religion.

 

That's extremely dishonest framing.

Trick-or-treating on Halloween is a long-standing American tradition.

Putting your porch light on indicates that you are participating as a dispenser of candy.

 

Oh really? Where's the fun in that?

Well, then it's an educational experience. If you knock on a stranger's door and say "give me money or a punch in the face", don't expect that you'll always get the money.

 

I put a very simple question to you, that you failed to answer. Noted.

 

I'm not sure about the pornography. It might be it is legal. Or it might be that their are obscenity laws.

But yes....people should be free to "proselytize" other people's children when they come to the door and say trick or treat. I don't think you understand the concept of freedom. It means that you aren't prosecuted for telling kids at the door that God doesn't exist.

Kind of proves my point, doesn't it?

 

well, they ended up being forced to move when a bunch of parents filed a suit against them for harrassment and filed a greavence with the homeowners association to try and get them kicked from the neighborhood.

 

Alright, I have to admit, that was pretty funny.

 

If my kid trick-or-treated at your house and you put one of these tracts in his bag, you would have the freedom to choose a lawyer to defend charges of corrupting a minor.

 

And see, that is the way of the totaltarian---which is prevalent within the Atheistic ideology. Theatening with a suit is a terrorist move---using intimidation and fear to make a society where only the "approved" speech and expression exists. So I'm not surprised. I on the otherhand---if as I checked my kids bag and saw a pamplet directed toward my kids that said their is no God, and no heaven----would not call a Lawyer. That is because I appreciate freedom of speech and I realize that I will have to be offended or outraged if I live in a free society.

I believe any parents who don't check their kid's Halloween bag first---are bad parents. Neglectful--perhaps not legally so, but ethically so.

 

Any examples of terrorism by lawsuit?

Any examples of atheists in America calling for totalitarianism?

 

Your posts are an example. Willing to sue or theaten a suit because you can't tolerate speech that is offensive to you. That is an intimidation tactic used to stifle speech or expression. Like terrorism---the intent is to create an environment of fear to achieve goals.

 

Would a lawyer take your case? I haven't heard of any attempts to sue people for such things but I'm willing to be educated.

 

So you responded to their harassment by harassing them back? Nothing hypocritical about that. I thought the whole idea of "tolerance" was that the majority had to change to be more accepting of the minority. Or does that only work when the minority is anything other than Christian/conservative/traditional/heterosexual/etc.?

More self-righteous PC bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

They were going around telling kids that they were going to die. and not only that, but that they deserved to die, for eating candy on halloween. Had nothing to do with their religion. It had to do with them harrassing children. If you see nothing wrong with that, it says lot about what type of person you are.

 

If Romney had gotten as many votes as McCain did in 2008, he would be president today. Romney didn't get the evangelicals out. They basically didn't want a Mormon president.

 

Of course it does. Freedom of speech is freedom to distribute unpopular views. As a Catholic, I loathe Jack Chick tracts. That said, my neighbor had the right to give those things out. Good parents go through the Halloween stuff the kids go home. I don't think many kids are stopping under a streetlight on Halloween and reading those awful tracts. Parents should just dispose of them if they don't like them. That's what I did. It's not a big deal.

Wow, those comics just jump up and force views........

 

We have an explicit freedom of religion (and that includes freedom to proselytzye should we choose to). There is no explicit freedom of pornography. In fact, there are laws against giving pornography to kids. And to be totally honest, the chances of a kid actually choosing to read the Jack Chick garbage is almost nil, the chances of them looking at free porn tracts would be pretty high.

 

Any kid that is so young that they can barely tie their shoes should have a parent present trick or treating. That parent should be looking at everything that goes in to their bag. That's the way good parents operate on Halloween. I know that's what I did until the boys were over 10.

So I shouldn't be allowed to give away toys or toothpaste instead? (I've done both at different times).

 

Depending on your locality, you might have a good lawsuit, or in my area, you would be laughed right out of court, if you could even get a lawyer to represent you for such a stupid anti-1st amendment case.
