    Hot n sticky!

    "Although people should not send nasty threatening emails, people like Amanda should not whine when others who dislike their point of view use their words against them. Its called the First Amendment and it applies to people who disagree with you."

    The First Amendment, as it has been pointed out already, applies to GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP. Not to unhinged christian hate speech and threats of violence.

    You have ever right to be offended, to disagree, and to worship any goofy gods you like. You do not have the right to threaten, slander and lie in hopes of ruining someone's life. It's really that simple. Be offended. Speak out, organize, whatever. If you get your "free speech" we get ours.

    Holy hot sticky spooge just isn't all that sacred to some of us. Get over it.

    Once again, if it hurts your tender sensibilities and fragile faith - DON'T READ IT.
