Shame, such a lovely bloke as well.

Would be a real loss for the world. He's a shining example of how not to act in life.

Are people going to protest at his funeral?

But in all seriousness, time to play a little devil's advocate. I think people who wish death upon this guy or are happy that he's dying should keep this in mind: In doing so, are you not doing the exact same thing his church does, and does that or does that not make you just as bad as the church? I think so. To say otherwise would be a double standard.

So while I may not agree with the philosophies or the actions, I'm not going to say I'm happy he's dying.

Remember too, that when a person dies, their ideas don't die with them. The church will probably get even stronger once he's gone.

Now who's a faggot you cunt

Just as a side note, when I saw the name, this popped into my head:



It sounds kinda similar. Well, sorta. Not really, but yeah.

[ShaneOfan]

Fuck him.I wouldn't wish death on anyone, even him. Bu that doesn't mean I hope he lives. He is filth but he deserves the love and compassion that he didn't show others.

Now who's a faggot you cunt

Instead of protesting they should throw a gay pride parade outside his funeral.

No, me privately being happy about the fact that he is dying is not anywhere near the same thing as him leading a group of people very publicly mocking and belittling their deaths by having protests that were nothing more than attention seeking. Also, he would show up and protest for causes that he often had no evidence that those people even participated in those activities, meanwhile the reason I'm and a lot of people are happy is because he was a leader for some very despicable things out front and publicly wiht all of the evidence in the world. So no it is not in the least bit hypocritical or the same thing.

Just thinking - if anything we should be praising this guy. As he's such a horrible cunt, he's done more work making society embrace gay rights than anyone else has

[SKS]

I wouldn't want to wish death upon anybody, but I'm not going to be upset when he croaks. He and the rest of his church are a bunch of ignorant fucks, I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him soon enough.

[PorkChop]

He's dead.
