The beef is with the truth.

Nice I hadn't thought of that. You may be correct.

I guess it would have to be an actual mentioning of PP. Not the baby in utero and pointing to the fact that you are ending this life. The last one is the one that sticks in my mind-I can't recall a anti-PP billboard.

Oh boy the anti-PP billboard was hard to find but I finally found one! And I can't recall one either. I'll give you that one.

a reply to: Deaf Alien

Yes, that is kinda an obvious one. Do you think that would spur someone to check out PP?

I could see it-if you wanted to rid yourself of an unborn baby.

a reply to: seasonal

Yeah I think it would. I mean really if I was against PP and my friends and I wanted to put an anti-PP billboard up that's something I would think about. Wouldn't it be better not to mention it so people wouldn't know about it? At least most anti-abortion billboards that I saw in google search never mentioned Planned Parenthood.

I think critical thinking comes into play, and sometimes protestors want to put it to the man. Not thinking they may indeed help the man.

Well said.

I their faith is so strong no amount of criticism or cartoons should bother them in the slightest

a reply to: PhyllidaDavenport

Yes, but that does not seem to be the case.

For the most part, people of religion shrug off stupid insensitive idiotic anti religious slams of all sorts.

But then we have this sort of stuff, people get worked up about it. Why does what I think matter to you?

The faith itself tells them to be bothered. I think the problem lies in the disconnect that here in the United States, the Constitution is the supreme law, NOT their faith. If someone that believes in whatever ethereal entity makes them feel better, and they want to live in this country, then they MUST resolve that the Constitution overrules their belief while simultaneously protecting is as well.

I didn't see anyone calling for it to be taken down?

The outrage is real and intended to scare people away from displaying these facts in public.

a reply to: TinfoilTP

It's more of a concern in this case if you read the article.

a reply to: TinfoilTP
It could have been worse.

Since it seems to always come down to comparisons. It could have been a picture of Mohammad in a jar of urine.

I don't think it is good to make a billboard like that. Freedom of speech should have some limitations. Freedom of religion should cover stopping hate promotion like that. What would Christians say if someone made a big hate billboard about something with Christianity.

I guess they'd have to forgive them.

Since they have been being put up all over the place for years, most just ignore them.

I will admit they made a fuss when they first started going up, but it did them no good, so now they just ignore them.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Who knows, with the amount of clout they have, maybe they will be able to put a stop to all offensive billboards.

Finally, someone gets the point.

Well said Hutch.

So this is ok with some people because it's freedom of expression but a pic of a woman holding Trumps decapitated head warrants people screaming jail her?

Not rocket science mate . If the shoe fits kind of thing , but i guess what was on the billboard will upset some . I am not sure why though if it is written in the Koran and Hadiths .
