Church Sign in Mandarin about Gays

[edjax]

Why is there so much Mandarin hate on this forum lately?

Is there some stereotype that I'm not getting? Mandarin has a rich history and a good mix of diverse people like most neighborhoods in town. Sure it's not an "urban neighborhood" but big deal, don't move there. But why bash it because you don't like it?

Seems pretty small minded of the posters on this forum.

I grew up in Mandarin and pretty much everything wrong with Mandarin road is still what is wrong with Mandarin and will never change. Bike lanes, getting people to slow down, and the turning of 13 from a picturesque 2-lane road into the new Blanding Blvd, have ruined Mandarin forever. Mandarin point is entirely swamp land, if you live there in a new house, check it often, you have a lot in common with Bartram Springs.

Oh yeah and you have churches that apparently speak their mind on signs about alternative lifestyles. Something new and another good reason to avoid the area.

Yea. Makes no sense. Especially from this man. My quess most of those that did vote for his boy Hogan were people from Mandarin.  I see comments like this and hope they realize if we want to change the city we are going to need people from all parts of,the city to make  it happen, yes, including Mandarin.   

LOL, Hogan kicked the crap out of his opponent for Supervisor of Elections, so apparently he had help from others.....outside of only Mandarin...

How about his unsuccessful run at mayor, you know, a real election.  Or your boy Lenny this time around?

Why is anyone suprised about this...this so called holy bible tells these people to do these things which is why i say to all bible thumpers to go to hell with the hatred you are spouting along with the hatred you're teaching those precious little bible thunping haters you're  raising..good luck everyone.

Thanks dad,  excellent timing.

Could you quickly change the sign to say something derogatory about women and bash an ethnic group. Then we can wrap this whole election thingy up and be done with it.

See you Sunday for dinner. Tell mom I love her.

I realize I yanked this from two pages back, but this might be a top 25 post of all time.

Seriously, what kind of idiots are these people? Do they think there are a pile of gay hating republicans that will be inspired to come out of the woodwork and vote for this clown?

It worked in 2004 in the Presidential election. I realize the political winds have shifted since then, but not so much in the GOP. They're still stuck in the '50's. 1850's that is.

Yep folks, that's called "Freedom of Speech", and, for those of yall not familiar with the concept, it is enumerated in our United States Constitution.  You may or may not agree with anyone's speech, but, it is their right to offer it.  You also have the right to agree, to disagree, to be insulted, to be elated, or, just to sit in a corner and be quiet.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

This is my response every time that someone uses the phrase: "But he/she/they are just using their freedom of speech." You can use your freedom of speech to your hearts content, but you are still held accountable for what you say and what you do.
