'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think that anger often is actually unexpressed hurt. So we say "I'm so angry..." when we mean "I'm really hurt that I've been disregarded..."
Anger is much easier to access for most people, than fear or hurt.
I agree with both these statements too.
And wow, from anger to learning that Fred Phelps is dead. I wonder what that means for the Westboro Baptist Church. Do they fold up shop now? Or are there enough family members around who feel the need to carry on his "work" now that he's gone?
He was ex-communicated from the church this past year. It will keep going.
What? Why?
What Suzi said.
Spring has sprung!
I heard a song last night on the radio, a song I have heard before several times, but do not retain who sings it. It sounds a lot like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, but has people yelling "Hey" in it like the Lumineers song also. I would say the singers are definitely NOT American unless their singing voice is soooo affected to be foreign sounding. British/Irish/Australian is where I'd guess. Hivemind?
Can I remember any lyric? No, no I cannot, because that American Authors song is stuck in my head.
OK will all that is so crazy - I am gonna post anyway, but I just did find the song. will see what you all come up with.
So he was excommunicated for not being crazy enough?
That's fascinating on the excommunication, msbelle. So yeah, sounds like not a lot of hope for there being less hate now that he's gone. He did too good a job of nurturing it while he was alive.
tommy, substitute grandmother for father, and you're me.
I admire the kind of human who feels sorry for Phelps and pities the members of his church, but I am not one. I don't want anything horrible to happen to any of them, but I have no sympathy with any pain they may go through. I hope their church tears itself apart and its legacy dies with its current members.
