Topless protest during Pope prayer

[vanillaicecream]

Gay rights protests and marches are just disgusting. They are completely perverse and if I wanted to see half the stuff they do in parades and on the street I'd flip on a inappropriate contento.

God forgive them....
They tell us what goes on in their bedroom is their business
Then they force everyone to see their most intimate parts.
And some have masturbated right in the middle of the parade or while marching.

If its not my business I should not have to see it nor should innocent children!

Its similar to the pro-choice argument
"My body my choice my business"
"But you can pay for it...against your will"

Leftists start to make less and less sense as the days go by.

I agree. why would they want children to see those kind of stuff. ugh...

Well then I'm a very skilled warrior, because I'm an American and Americans are pretty skilled at making war. I'm a great football player, because they high school I went to had some seriously awesome football players who went places. I've never tried to boot a 60 yard field goal, but I probably could, given my providence. Wisconsin makes the nations's finest cheeses. I've never made cheese, but obviously I'm a successful cheese maker.

Nice job mocking the whole "body of Christ" concept. Smooth.

Let's March for Life Naked!!!

If you've been reading the news recently you probably saw that four women protested the Pope in St. Peter's Square. USA Today, Reuters, and The Washington Post were just some of the hundreds of media outlets that ran stories on these four women who protested the Church's positions on gay marriage. That's right, four women received round the world coverage. Why? They took off their tops and got world wide coverage for their non-coverage.

Rumor has it that the Kardashians fired their p.r. department last night because they hadn't thought of that first.

This kind of stunt protest is sad but somehow effective kinda' like Gary Coleman saying "Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis" for five bucks a pop at conventions when he was thirty. No matter how sad it was, people just had to see it. (What? Too soon?)

But let's face it, liberals have unlocked the key to great media coverage. Nudity. In December, seven nude protesters stormed House Speaker John Boehner's office protesting cuts that actually hadn't been cut. This past weekend, ten San Franciscans held a "No Pants Subway Ride Day" to protest laws against nudity. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), announced plans to launch a inappropriate contentography website with a mix of inappropriate contentography and graphic footage of animal killing. (What is it with liberals' intermingling of sex and death? I think maybe that as soon as sex stopped being about life, it necessarily became about death.)

While I'm no fan of articles that use the word liberal as an insult or purposely misrepresent organizations, there is a good point here in my opinion. Being someone pro life who also support animal rights causes, I've observed local campaigns and activism on both issues.in the public eye, at least locally, pro life activism has been a few folks with signs with graphic images and text like ' abortion is murder' or 'abortionists go to hell'. Local animal rights activists dressed up as pilgrims and gave out free Tofurkey to anyone interested. Which protest do you think did more to sway those on the fence?
Perhaps since AR folks have the support of a smaller segment of the population, they have to be more creative and theatrical to get attention for their cause. Perhaps it's a function of how friendly the target group is to the cause...people in my neck of the woods are mostly pro life so perhaps no one feels a need to bring their A game to a protest. I've noticed that when dealing with target audiences that are generally friendly to a cause, messages get simplified and less creative.
So, do they make a point? Should pro life protesters stick to a straightforward, cold and dignified approach, or will they support their cause better with flamboyant, creative protests?

 

[Antigone]

That seems a little childish.

And cold. Italy isn't all that warm this time of the year.

You've missed my point entirely, sometimes I forget to consider my audience. If you want to claim a home in the Body of Christ out of humble service to our Lord, have it it. If you want to claim that you've accomplished something special when you actually can't point to a single noteworthy individual contribution, I'm going to call you on it.

A game? Seriously getting naked is far from that. Either a cause or protest stands on it's own merits or it doesn't. It makes them look like loons. Everyone concentrates on the loons & ignores the cause.

I get what you're saying, but why did you feel the need to mock a fellow sister in Christ for speaking out against a couple of insane woman "because she hasn't done anything note worthy to get people talking on the other side of the world"?

At least you like good beer. If I don't get some KBS in March I'm going to rage.

I'm gonna go step further and say acting like that around the general public (including children) is depraved and evil. They're forcing their perverted activities on the public to try to "normalize" it.

It certainly wasn't my intent to mock the poster in question. There's nothing wrong with speaking out against this protest, but lets play the ball. If their intent was to get noticed (and I suspect it was), we can't notice them and then talk about how bad they are at getting noticed. They did a remarkably good job for a remarkably low cost.

Now, if their intent was to further their cause of promoting gay marriage, they likely failed, in the same way that TheOtherHockeyMom noted that pro-lifers who hoist placards of aborted fetusses fail, because they resorted to shock instead of making a good argument.

Well it is a pretty well known fact as well that the outrageous is a fast track to your 15 minutes of fame as well. People trying to make a name for themselves usually rely on cheap tactics to do it when their cause or talent really does not stand on its own. They could care less about respecting others in the public arena. It's their fuel to get them noticed. And seriously, do these people really think it makes them appear cutting edge? It doesn't. And you have to realize that these people are desperate to promote themselves in that light on the back of the cause. It appears to me they use the cause as a tool more than anything.

Exactly, just like abortion protesters who resort to pictures of what dead children look like instead of actual arguments.

Exactly, just like abortion protesters who resort to pictiures of what dead children look like instead of actual arguments.

I'm finally starting to get that as far as the pro-life groups go. Believe it or not. I think my past experiences with family members having abortion might have clouded my view. Given that I saw what the aftermath was while taking care of them in recovery.

 

[Chrystal-J]

I agree with you there. It has a "look at me" quality to it. Attention getting device that may have nothing to do with the cause.

That too. It's an attention grab for the individual, but it's also an attempt to normalize what they're doing. Look at the TV show "The New Normal". It's about a gay male couple who have a baby via surrogate. Why call the show "New Normal"? If they can get people to accept what they're doing as "normal", then they don't have to examine their actions and possibly change.

What about handing out free food at Thanksgiving is depraved and evil? My post in question here wasn't about gay parades anymore but finding ways to get your message out there among all the noise.

You don't think being naked and sexually explicit in public, possibly in front of children, is evil and depraved?

I think your just getting silly & reaching now. You think it takes exposing body parts?

What constitiues sexually explicit is in the eye of the beholder, cultural norms, getting a flash of flesh is gonna do no-one any lasting and severe damage.

I agree it's attention grabbing, but don't build it up to be evil and depraveds when it's just a few people getting their jugs out. It's exactly the reaction they want from evil conservative Christians, bear in mind... don't rise to the bait.

Ignore them and they go away...

I hope for your spiritual sake you're trolling. Have you even been reading this thread?

 

[Da_Funkey_Gibbon]

You hope I'm intentionally winding people up... for the sake of my soul...

This thread is starting to confuse me now..

In fairness I wasn't lumping in gay people masturbating into my above post, more the kind of thing you see more nominally at such events.

I assigned gay people masturbating to the catagory of "over-exaggeration and hearsay", but I guess that kind of thing can and does happen. And well, there are laws against it.
