Personally, I'm reading these accounts and laughing at the general idiocy. I can't state my own opinion now? Can't research non-european religious beliefs, or not have religious beliefs? Jeezus

I dunno, but a few weeks later we were asked to do a persuasive essay on some controversial subject. Guess what mine was about. :|

"Theosophy and the Great Ignorance of the West"

I'll put it up somewhere, its decent.

nope

Downs and his 31-year-old son Roger both bought the T-shirts at the mall for $23 apiece. The younger man took his shirt off at the guards' request.

lmao

I never doubted your word, but every-fucken-time there's some religion shit brought up, you always have to find some way to insult the christian religion. It's more than annoying now. You weren't just talking about two ppl, you were talking about everyone in that particular religion.

but he's right, most christians doesn't even know that there are a plethora of other religions out there,not to mention those that make alot better sense or are alot more peace orientated, so even if it is a stereotype he's fucking right...

And how would you know? Not to be a smartass, but I'm pretty sure you've talked to many christians and asked them such things.

its not that surprising. My school assigned me a mental health checkup because they thought I might be a terrorist when my mom came in expressing concerns about my grades and telling them I believed I could "mystically astral project".

Well, letting the school think I'm a terrorist will never happen. It's something called split personalities. I am a fun loving party animal, a emotionally and mentally wounded person, and a psycho who could possibly take over the white house someday.

As for the peace sign thing, I wouldn't be surprised. Since the whole 'peace' thing was in the 60's and 70's, I think they're not wrong to expect somebody being a terrorist. Or some people want war, some people have so much damn american pride, they want to kick everyone's asses who step in their way. But I think somebody said that they were asked to leave? Then they should've done what they were told, and they didn't, which lead to the arrest.

Heh... I told the shrink at the mental health section of the base hospital that I'd found a new form of stress relief, and he asked me what it was. I replied that I used my mind and my hands to bend forks. I then proceeded to pull a freshly bent one out of the cargo pocket of my BDU's. He blinked and asked to see it. After much consternation on his part, he said "Ok, whatever works." and went on with the monthly re-eval.

So, they should have to leave because they advocate peace?

My belief is that the mall owner, and this applies to everyone, had no right to say that they could not wear an anti-war shirt. That is their right to wear it if they want to. 'Course, the way things are going, that will probably become an act of treason before too long.
