I don't approve of that, but...What can I say? It is not illegal, and making it illegal or banning it will just provoke more people to think that speaking out shouldn't be allowed.

Example: *Freedom of Speech is banned*, and (not saying this is gonna happen, but) the current pres. is speaking, and someone yells, that he doesn't like the pres's plan. The man who spoke out gets shot. You know, if they ban Freedom of Speech, our country will be just like Egypt and Syria and Iran, or even North Korea. They speak out? They get shot. Murdered. Never heard of again. Is that what you want? THIS IS AMERICA PEOPLE!!!

(I ain't sayin' what the WBC is sayin' is FINE, but... we are still IN AMERICA PEOPLE!!!!!!

We are not suggesting to take away their freedom of speech, just their freedom to not pay taxes because they're a "religious" group.

KKK who demands we use violence against other races

Actually they don't.  They used to but they don't officially encourage violence.

PS- I don't agree with them in any way.

Also, regarding the WBC, they're basically immune to any legal action.  They are completely legal and protected by the constitution.

Yes, but when it's just being pointlessly hateful and emotionally harmful, there's a limit. Protesting at funerals, saying people died because they were sinners and what not...

No, there is no limit. Hence the first word in "Freedom of speech".

It's horrible, but it's their right. Freedom of speech exists to protect unpopular ideas. This freedom does not work off of whether said ideas are true or not.

It's their right to think so and say if asked etc., but I believe it's impeding on the others right of private time and quietude to go disturb a funeral by shouting hateful speeches around. There may not be a limit about one's opinion, but there surely should be a limit about the way to express something.

@Freakenstein: Because others aren't harassing people at their kids funerals.

but I encourage all of you to sign here.

Yeah sure, I know a lot of people that have "encouraged" me to do things...

Alright, if we're going to go by definition they aren't a hate group. However, what do you suggest they should be labeled as?

A "religion". Ever think of that one?

"we need to kill all the ***s,"

Did you censor the word Gay? Or did you say something else?

because they dont use violence against peanut butter or...?

I spit Mountain Dew out my nose when I read this.

can't the same be done whit westboro? they conspire against gays.

If they did this all Christians would be arrested.

And that's the problem. People have the right to say what they believe, so we can't stop them. Deciding what does and does not have the right to be said is extremely arrogant though and sets precedents though.

You could stop them if they said something like they wanted to kill someone like a president or something like that.

I will say it again: THERE IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So your saying If I told someone I wanted to kill the president. Nobody could do anything? I wouldn't be put in jail? They'd just say."Well okay."?
