My Dad and I were driving hom from work this morning and they were running a story on the Westboro Baptist church. This church is of the belief that every tragic death is caused by God punishing us for our increasing acceptance of homosexuality. This includes deaths caused by the war in Afghanistan. As if that wasn't bad enough, these people don't go through normally accepted methods like protesting outside parliament or something, no, they protest at the funerals of the dead soldiers. Can you imagine?! You're trying to deal with your child's death and there are people at the funeral with signs saying he died because God hates fags. WTF!!!! And, of course, since there is always the likelihood of violence during a protest, there are police cars, ambulances, SWAT teams etc at the funeral too. Talk about ridiculous.
Anyway, the CBC broadcast was about how some guy sued them for emotional damages after they protested at his son's funeral and the courts agreed to the tune of 10.2 million, so that's at least a nice big slap on the wrist.

Does anyone know why I'm not getting e-mails for my LJ comments anymore? It's kind of annoying since I can see my e-mail at work but not my LJ and I don't want to lose any comments.
