Xe (defense industries or some-such like that.) Although I do believe that Xe only takes jobs for the US government. That said, I'm sure there's someone out there who's willing to do that for pay. And plenty who'll probably do it for free

Only because few others are capable of paying what they want . Mercenary companies in the not very distant past haven't been picky as to whom they work for. Mining companies in Sierra Leone and such. I doubt Xe is any different .
Didn't they plan to start their own navy to blow pirates out of the water outside Somalia and such, to protect shipping? IIRC, they planned to offer escort to shipping companies (and have them pay for it I guess). Now there's a business opportunity. If one only had 20 million or so to sink into it to get going with the project. I guess it's true that you need money to make money...

That's right, Westboro is going to picket...Comic-Con! Wait what? Comic-Con? Oh, that's right, cause God hates nerds! Everyone knows that!

*facepalm*

"Are you a god?" (think very, very carefully about your answer WBC)

I'll have to watch G4's coverage to see if they show up. Should be interesting.

[ArenaBoy]

This is hilarious on so many levels.

Aww, how I wish I coulda stood nerd-to-nerd against WBC.

I heard about the Comic-Con one. They apparently think that comics are an idol that we pray to. If Comics are idols that we pray to, then is Stan Lee God? I think there was a video on YouTube about the counter signs but I don't have the link to it. I'll have to find it later.

I also looked at the protest schedule (http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html) and it looks like they are protesting a Justin Bieber concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO on 7/28/2010. I want to go to see all of the teeny boppers (sp?) rip them to shreds. To give everyone a heads up about the schedule it states the reason why they are going there. It says a few mean things about another religion, military, and other singers.

[AdminAssistant]

tabby, I imagine that has less to do with Bieber and more to do with location. Kansas City is close, so they tend to protest a lot of high-profile events there (although they were shockingly absent at the Billy Joel/Elton John concert).

They might be racist, bigoted assholes...but at least they got good taste

They are protesting American Idol because it promotes Idols other than God (at least I think that's what they were going on about). Oy Vey.

[Dreamstalker]

Why did I see that coming?

I gotta say, that's a pretty clear cut one in the Bible.

Yes, except that idol is being used in a different sense nowadays. Idol, in this case, simply means a person subject to public adoration for their talented singing and showmanship. Not an object to be worshiped as representative of a deity.

[lordlundar]

If Comics are idols that we pray to, then is Stan Lee God?

I can think of more than a few people who would answer YES! in a heartbeat.

[Racket_Man]

well they are at it again

protesting at a soldiers funeral

this time someone did a drive-by and tried to mace them with an industrial sized can. unfortuneately he maced the wrong people and got the WBC counter-protesters. yes the macer did get arrested and charged

[smileyeagle1021]

Deciding to mace WBC protesters... hmm... I'd say that is an understandable desire, I will admit that I would be seriously tempted to do that if I had a chance.
Hitting the wrong group though... okay, seriously, if you are going to attack someone make sure you attack the right person.

OMG, this is from the site about the waiteress and tipping: http://christwire.org/2010/08/bigot-...ozens-injured/

So much fail and spin I can't think right.
