Anyone out there ever have any fantasies of going after Christofascists with baseball bats?
Yes I know - unhealthy, divisive and violent. To top things, it won't solve anything.

But there's a clinic nearby that always gets the Christian Terrorists protesting outside. I've always envisioned showing up with a baseball bat, and just knocking them down one by one.

Sick - but hey, better to think about it than do it

1. It's okay to fantasize
Believe it or not, most of us do it about things we're not supposed to. All it takes a a little self restraint and discipline to not go overboard.

To answer your question, I've fantasized about showing up with a lot more than that.

2. I just had a lovely coffee date with my MIL and got to hear all about
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 02:31 PM by LaraMN
my FIL's growing obsession with David Duke and the political cesspool.
He made her take him to some sort of "white nationalist" rally down south last year.
The man has a genius-level IQ. He abruptly decided that he doesn't like blacks, or jewish people, or you-name-it.
Maybe not a bat, but I'd like to smack him about the head and face with a flyswatter, at the very least.
I do not understand.

12. A genius IQ does not equal a loving human being
Racism, at it's deepest core, is really nothing more than a manifestation of a lack of love. And love doesn't come from your brain.

3. Do fantasies about attacking a Klan rally with chainsaws count?

6. A few years ago, I had bypass surgery and never regained
most of my strength in my hands and arms, so bats are out.

I do, however have a perfectly functional shotgun.

7. Better to volunteer at the clinic.
I volunteered at one for 6 years. One full afternoon every week I'd be out there either escorting patients past the crazy folk, or engaging the crazy folk in deliberate heated religious debates to keep them too busy to notice the patients coming and going.

:)

It was worth every single day I put into it.

10. yes, and then I remember
that's exactly what they want. They want to be "persecuted" so badly. So the meanest thing we can do is ignore them.

11. I can't figure out why they won't dedicate themselves to preventing unwanted pregnancies...
If they hate abortions so much.

Maybe they're dumbasses with anger issues.
