It used to be that patriotism was the last refuge of the scumbag, now it's the "war on terror".
you can give abuse, but you can`t take it, very easy to knock someone`s profession but when they bite back, you just stand and shiver
If a cicus can not stand by their own methods and support their actions in a manner befitting decent humans how can we expect civil conduct of them towards other humans not to mention animals. Surely such a response indicates insecurity, mal practices and are suggestive that they are hidding something, for if they were not they would have no fear of standing by what they practice.
Referring to post "Laddy",
"stand and shiver"; well, we were all standing, a few may have been shivering due to the weather conditions on the day (wet and a bit cold), but the general reaction of the protestors on seeing the flyers was to explode into peals of laughter (the only kind of exploding I have ever, or ever intend to involve myself in, I hasten to add!). I laughed for days and am thinking of framing the original flyer to stick on my wall to cheer myself up in moments of gloom.
