Green Hills? Nice placement.

Submitter, are you slapping Christians or Nashvillians as being illiterate?

 
mamoru [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 12:49:54 AM  
Please don't put quotes around things that aren't actually quotes that anyone in TFA said, trollmitter.

That said, from TFA: Something about the phrase "Not Religious, You're not alone", doesn't sit well with Cude.

"It's a slap in the face to the Nashvillians and the people who have a strong foundation and do so much good for this town," said Cude.


Oh, yes. "You are not alone" is such a hate-filled message, the verbal equivalent to slapping someone in the face. Mr. Donnie Cude is about as douchey as submitter.

You know who else finds your lack of faith disturbing?

 
EviLincoln 2009-11-20 01:19:59 AM  
I'm sure the last thing on their mind was predicable outrage when they rented the sign.

While godless infidel, as a SF geek I would find a UFO an amusing addition to that billboard.

"This is America and we embrace those people, and would hope that our society would get to the point that we can all embrace each other regardless whether we share the minutia of our beliefs," said Schwartz.

"...Do I agree with them? No, I don't," said Cude.

I expected to find some tasteless stunt billboard put up by idiot college kids, but after seeing it...how can anyone justify stirring up debate about it?

Ha ha. Nice headline, subby.

And fark those backwoods rednecks who can't stand nonbelievers.

FTFA "Do I respect that they're able to do that? Have to. Do I agree with them? No, I don't," said Cude.

What is there to disagree with? It is a fact that there is more one person who is non-religious.

I thought the guy's name was Donnie Crude. After reading the article, I find no compelling reason to change my mind.

So can a lot of the other idiots on this tab. They just suck at it and everyone knows it. Yet they keep punching the clock proving their worthlessness

I'm saving my pennies to build a statue of Liberty carrying a cross.

What? It's already been done in Tennesee?

Alright, dammit... It's golden calf time!

Also found in Nashville, a 20 ft tall statue of Nathaniel Bedford Forrest with a backdrop of Confederate flags flying over the flags of the original Confederate states. Right off I-65.

Too stupid to see bigotry when it slams you in the face?

Oh, but it's just a troll when you don't like it. Asshole.

For april fools day you should post something worthwhile instead of your mindless idiocy and pointlessness.

You might even get a few bites if you did that instead of your kindergarten level trolls.

It's made of fiberglass because the crazy guy who owns it is classy like that.

Also, it keeps getting shot at, which is appropriate.

Has he ever? If he improved his technique significantly, he would barely make the ranks of an AOL chat room troll

could be wrong, but i think i saw one of his Boobiess. in the music tab. apropos to his name, he was exhorting people to give up on rock music. he even suggested some other genres of music to look into. i agreed with him then.

Couldn't a Religious group put up the same billboard to get people to call to talk about their problems with religion and help to sort that out? This is a made up invented controversy and anyone who sees any kind of problem with it has a small mind.

Here is something on the calls Secular Life has gotten. Really tame compared to what I would expect.

"Secular Life says here's where you can go. You can go to network that is positive. We do stuff for the community, good will, this sort of thing. It's a place to plug in," said Schwartz.

Reason seeks a voice, and it scares the sh*t out of some people.

Does anybody else ever wonder if some of the trolls around here are actually advanced bots doing the Turing Test? Possibly from the future?

Perhaps RockIsDead is trying to warn us of a dystopian future. Where everyone is a huge douche.

LET US RECEIVE HIS MESSAGE AND REFORM OUR WAYS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

What, you mean like the "abortion clinics" that really just show you your ultrasound and tell you an abortion will completely f*ck up your life?

The troll within me wishes I had the money to burn on putting up such a billboard, if only for the lulz.

Agreed, it's kind of a half-assed attempt on everyone's part.

Come on, Nashville. You can do so much better. (pdf pops)

Everyone in the US assumes everyone else in the US is stupid and worthless.

As a joke, it's tired and cliche. As reality, it's.. well, Americans know how it is.

Or how about those assholes who are all like "hey, why don't you just give the kid up for adoption?" Those dudes are totally cramping my style of killing an unwanted fetus cause its my right. Seriously, my vag can't be used for progenitization until I want it, dammit!

I'm pretty sure he's on autopilot. He's like a trolling version of Abulafia. Just add the talking points together.
