There were no "two wrongs" because one group made the invitation, another just exercised their rights and exercising one's rights is NEVER wrong.You ever hear the saying "two wrongs don't make a right?"
The adult thing to do would have been not to invite this guy to speak at your school to begin with.
A naive and myopic perspective on par with high school "dissing" but it is your right to do so.I haven't suggested you were trying anything contrary to that.
And that's exactly what I'm doing as well by mocking the attitude you're exhibiting in regards retelling what you did.
You and everyone else is well within your right to have done the protest.
In the exact same fashion, I'm well within my right to laugh at the attitude and implication that you made any actual impact or did anything of note other than basically a bunch of college kids having a circle jerk. You go on about causing an "exodus" where as in reality it seems like you got a bunch of people to show up for something that they wouldn't have shown up for anyways, and then got a bunch of people to leave something they wouldn't have shown up to anyways. And then want to act like it was some big deal.
You didn't cause an "exodus". You got a bunch of people to walk one direction and then walk another, which basically resulted in a little bit of a kurfuffle before the event went on in the exact same fashion it would've likely gone on had you not done it.
It'd be one thing if the little walk out actually was a few people and inspired a bunch of people who otherwise would've stayed to get up and walk out as well. But that doens't seem to be what happened. A bunch of douchy college kids went to something thinking they could cause a scene, caused a scene, and then clapped themselves on the back for making a scene.
Wooo! Social justice...or something :roll:
I'm sure the minds of those people who stayed were changed. I'm sure there were people who previously thought "Yo, hatin gays be cool" but suddenly realized that "Hey, a bunch of people walked out of something they never would've attended anyways. I now understand...hating gays is bad!"
You pulled off a college stunt and got some attention for it. Congratulations, you're campus is the whiny and less entertaining version of the Oregon Duck singing Gangnam Style. I have no issue with college kids acting like college kids and pulling a college stunt. But forgive me if I'm not going to fawn over it or buy into this laughable notion that it was some "powerful" social protest or some brave action or some significant political message.
But you expect others to accept bigotry as such? Hypocrisy much?Then dont expect me to accept your lifestyle as normal.
Why thats just horse****, son. If there were such a widespread voice, they would have ignored it and gone on with their oh so happy lives because people like that would have been irrelevant. Instead...he represented a threat to your fragile happiness because he dares to think your lifestyle is wrong and abnormal and as a result, you rallied 150 or so shrill like minded people to stage your tantrum.And this isn't?

Truth be told, I have no problem with the guy coming to speak his mind. I am not sitting here telling everyone that the government should shut him down - in fact I believe the opposite. But if you are going to use your first amendment rights, you have to be willing to accept that others are going to use theirs, and that's exactly what we did. There is a rising tide of public opinion morally opposing the type of speech that LaBarbera is putting forward, in the same manner that public opinion once washed out the voice of segregationists and anti-miscegenation supporters. This is purely an outgrowth of that fact.
You just can't help yourself in your desire to limit others...Yes. Their walk out was a protest of a paid speaker. They didn't have to go to begin with.
Yep, just like disgusting bigoted attitudes.Disgusting lifestyle behavior shouldn't be tolerated, its necessary for it to be quashed every time it shows itself.
But it is not about the punch. It is all about showing the truth and I can see that that can hurt more than a punch.Yea, any time you don't agree with the gay agenda or life style. You are accused of "hate". So using hate, bigotry, homophobe and all that has lost its punch.
What truth is that, that a bunch of 13th grade mouth breathers can do a "walk out"? Yet demand tolerance from others. Yea, some real truth showing there.But it is not about the punch. It is all about showing the truth and I can see that that can hurt more than a punch.

The truth about the bigotry you espouse.What truth is that
If people would speak of conservatISM instead of conservaTIVES, then they would certainly display more acumen. Understanding a political philosophy means understanding its tenets,and treating poilitics in terms of mere identity fails to do so.
As to your blanket statement about conservaTIVES, being behind every blah blah blah, however, I would say you are wrong. In areas such as environmental regulation and gun control,it is liberals who seek to reduce liberties. They see these as justified restrictions due to the greater good, but restricts what an individual can do nonetheless.
Questions like this always cut both ways.
I think there are valid reasons to be offended. I think this speaker was being blatantly disrespectful and offensive. Waking out can also be a form of protest against someone's message. This guy in my view has the same similar hatred that Fred Phelps does. I wouldn't sit through a speech by Phelps saying we should bully gay people and that God hates them. Likewise, I wouldn't sit through this moron's ignorant drivel nor give credibility to it. He doesn't deserve my attention or my presence.

Blah blab blah
All they did was prove they are just as intolerant as they think others are. Yet they demand equality. Hahahahaha

So where does your right to equality come from?
Indeed.
God..
Well, aren't you special. One of God's chosen ones.
And along with your right to equality, did God also give you the right to speak on His behalf?
Sure, why not. Its a slam dunk on this one.
There were no "two wrongs" because one group made the invitation, another just exercised their rights and exercising one's rights is NEVER wrong.
Careful. God doesn't tolerate hubris.
Actually there were like 3 or 4 other posts of yours bashing the kids for walking out before you decided it was just, I guess, sort of ok what the kids did. What happened to all the "**** being sensitive"? And the kids should have stayed, because that's what you would have done?
What the university students did is tame. Canada just arrested the guy yesterday, "LaBarbera was arrested and charged on Monday, along with a Saskatchewan man who was also on campus trying to distribute literature about the 'evils of homosexuality.'" He spent the night in jail and now has a court hearing in May. I wonder if he'll respect Canada's rule of law or if he'll bounce and skip the hearing.
