Ok, remind me to organize a support rally and rememberance for the great evils of our time... mainly Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc.
Remind me where I said you should do that. Not hating someone doesn't mean worshipping them. Don't bifurcate points of view contrary to yours.
I haven't said anything mean about Falwell, now that the man is dead. I'm not going to say anything mean about him anytime soon. However, people have a right to say whatever the hell they want to say about the man, especially since he was a very big part of an organization that's responsible for much bigotry and sexism in an otherwise free country that is suppose to be the world's leader in equal rights and freedom for all.
You're absolutely right; they can say whatever they want. Free country, unlike what Falwell appeared to want. Doesn't mean it's classy. Maybe I did jump the gun, but a bash fest when somebody dies is kinda iffy.
Again, this love thy enemy crap looks good on paper. I suggest you wait till you have more life experience before telling other people to apply this ideal in their lives.
You're awefully quick to assume I lack life experience with people worth hating. That's fine; I know who I am and what I've dealt with.
where you are wrong. He may be dead, but the evil he beset upon this nation will remain for many many years after his death. Because of this man, christianity will continue to be shoved down my throat and my children's throats. Because of this man, people will continue to hate gay people for many years to come. Because of this man, women will remain nothing more than sexual objects in the eyes of many. This is happening at the time when we are suppose to set an example for the rest of the world how equal rights and freedom are suppose to be a good thing. And most important of all, because of this man, I have stopped believing in democracy for a few years now.
Well, that's an excellent point about what he's done. But torching him now won't mean a damn thing either way. You especially won't convince a 'Jerry's Fallwoller' that this man was full of it. Yes, I'm aware that you probably couldn't convince most of them with sound rhetoric, either.
I'm bent, bruised, broken, and a little lost. But you know what? I'm not so afraid as you are, who has never ventured away from the trail.
