Dont forget to point out why Rev. Phelps no longer has his BAR.

I just remember when Fred Phelps died people picketed his funeral with signs that said things like "We're sorry for your loss" and smile with the knowledge that we are winning in the long run.

so crazy family decided to create church of crazies

This is your occasional reminder that the WBC is not a church, it's a slip-and-fall lawsuit factory. They enrage people at difficult moments, get them to act irrationally, then sue everyone within a 500 yard radius.

Victor's rise to power was gradual and methodical, starting at those group picnics and continuing long-distance even before he moved to Rush City. That's the thing about cults, and about predators. There's a slow but constant grooming. You don't really realize how drastically things have changed, so it feels normal.

C'mon craig. Practice what I'm sure you've preached:

Why is there an article dedicated to one girls suicide? Thousands of people commit suicide every year. What is so unique about this one? A girl has sex with multiple boys, someone films it, she is harassed at school, and kills herself. We have heard it all before.

are you bitching about a quote from another source? This is still another source, even if former writers have moved there.

Definitely. This is awful, but the United States executed 35 people last year and 3 so far this year. Is state-sanctioned murder okay then if it's done behind closed doors with poison?

I am 100% against the death penalty in any and all cases. That said, the idea that beheading is "barbaric" is just western racism.

Damn straight! It can't possibly be "new age" or "hipster", since my grandparents let my parents do it in the 50s & 60s, and my parents let me do it in the 80s. This is actually really old-school parenting!

It's not even New Age or hipster!

I was homeschooled. I followed a normal curriculum that had no religious influence at all. I was supervised by a credentialed teacher who I could email or call if necessary. I graduated two years early from high school. Nothing wrong with homeschooling if it's done right.

Often by parents who don't even know the difference between "there" and "their".

If you have experience in child-education and live in an extremely rural area with one school and all they teach is gym and home ec and some kind of twisted neo-con social studies and you can't afford boarding school, then fine. Home school your kid. Otherwise? NO.

This is bullshit. Call it whatever new-age hipster shit you want, these parents have the right idea. There is ZERO wrong with letting your kids walk home together, especially if the distance is short. That's how they learn independence. It's how they become more aware of their surroundings, and it's how they learn to…

Homeschooling should be illegal
