This is getting a bit ridicolous. I wouldn't want my children to see this kind of display, especially at Christmas time. I believe people are so discontent with this country right now, they're trying to find any way to express their disgust. Christmas just happens to be a convenient and timely venue.
-
The more people jump up and down about it the more wackos are going to do it. If the hanging santa had not made the news this one would not have been displayed.
-
the hanging santa was funny, this one is just sick.
a santa with a burnt arse from going down a chimney with a fire would be more funny.
-
Neighbors need to make a display that includes a model of their neighbor's family and depict them in a manner deomstrating how the feel.
-
Wonder how much money they will make on the movie and book rights? Hmmm. Got to give them credit for taking advantage of our rather sick and twisted society.
-
Why is it so many amerikans are crying out for attention these days?
-
Because they can? Maybe because they are figuring out how to make a buck without having to work for it now. Really easy to do these days. Think of something stupid/outrageous to do, call a news station, sign a publicist, and off you go.
-
No no NO!
MT says the war on christmas is only in the minds of the conservitives!
So that must be true right?:D

It is not just Amerika...Why is there such a thing as an open forum? Everyone wants attention. Humans are social thingys with some need to display and be recognized.

I think the real point of all this is that the Conservative movement in America cannot exist without an enemy. Unless there is some grave threat to our very existance they got nothing. On one hand they are all for getting the government out of our lives, but all for getting the church of the majority into our lives. Like it or not.
You all enjoy your straw man ... set him up, knock him down... repeat as needed until it sounds like the truth.

Too gawdamned funny, IMHO.

BTW Rip, if you express yourself in words, someone might actually know what it is you're trying to say there.

Incidently, Bad Santa kidnapped by Dollnappers! :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Holding it hostage until the owner writes out "I've been a bad boy" 1,000 times.:rofl

Anything for attention.
-
but.... if little johny draws any scene of violence in school they will vilify the parents and medicate little johnny to his eyeballs after throwing him out of school for a while.
Maybe they should just drag those people out of their house and suspend them from work and then put em on medication?

First of all, anytime you want to quote me on something that has nothing to do with the topic yet somehow you think makes a point... feel free. Makes my day.
Second of all... you would think that the conservative law and order types on this board would be more miffed about a theft of personal property than an excersize of free speech.
Maybe not.
-
when is a scene of violence not a scene of violence?
When it is against Xmas.
Every other time it is some sort of hate crime or "free speech".

Christmas has become a day about gifts, and solely that these days.
Christmas' enemies are toy companies and greedy lil' bastard children.

"You all enjoy your straw man ... set him up, knock him down... repeat as needed until it sounds like the truth."
First of all , your post has everything to do with the topic, but I cannot help you see it if you cannot see it. This original post is just ANOTHER "Straw man" story ;)
Second of all, why would conservatives be miffed about personal property theft when their culture and tradition is being stripped slowly away by the left?
-
So freedom means "protecting the traditions of the conservatives"... got it.
-
if you enjoy christmas, why not enjoy it rather than be offended.

We do. Its just that some folks left of center try to make sure that others do not.
-
As long as you try to enjoy it I can't disagree.
-
freedom is conditional here.
We can hang a man in a red suit in effigy on our front lawn during the xmas holiday but we can't say.... hang slaves in effigy during the martin king hoiliday. Or... say put a scene on our lawn of a colored person being shot in a watermellon patch by a white farmer.
What exactly is "free speech"? What exactly is a "hate crime" and what is violence? when is violence not violence?

:rofl we have a customer that lives on a large piece of property behind some huge privacy fences and gates within a gated community (yes, double gated) in his obscured driveway entrance he has a pond on the shore of the pond he has some 1940's type statues of black boys fishing with canepoles on the entrance to the house by the stairs leading to the door he has two black coachmen holding lanterns. he was recently cited by the county for the offensive statuary.

Setting up (what I think is digusting) model of Santa being disemboweled is acceptable, because he is a fictitious character or at least has turned into one from debateable history.
Setting up a model of living neighbors being attacked is not protected free speech, and could be considered hate speech.
-
How can two displays be viewed so differently... one is considered free speech and the other is "offensive statuary"? Is santa any more "fictitious" than say the watermellon boy? is it any less free speech?
some PC guy on here please explain the difference to me.

Tough call laz, unless of course you use common sense.
One display belittles an imaginary being, while the other belittles a real race of people. Seams pretty clear.
-
Not really MT... are you saying there really were colored people stealing watermelons and were shot by white farmers?
I see santas all over the place this time of year... lots of stores have em. Kids think he is real.
All I see is somebody hanging a fat white guy in a red suit in effigy. It sure looks like a real person to me.

"The family's 16-year-old daughter came up with the idea for the display, according to the report. She said she based the scene on a movie, "Silent Night, Deadly Night." "
The future of Amerika at work. I really feel sorry for my son and he's only 4.

The argument could be made that the "theft" of that property was actually a form of "freedom of expression."
Careful Lasz, you gotta remember that the only group that modern Americans can justly stereotype are us inbred, conservative, snaggle-toothed, drunken, wife-beatin', child-abusin', tourist-rapin', gun-n-knife totin', pickup drivin', sheet wearin', tobacca chawin' trailer trash.
We should be ashamed of ourselves. Don't give up hope on us MT...we'll eventually see the light.

Your saying Santa is not a real person???
I'm heart broken:(

Laz, I was trying to get the same question answered in the other thread about the "hanging Santa".
What I can't understand, is where the line is crossed.... Ok, the family can put up a Santa holding a severed head, thats ok, and is protected by the constitution. But when and were is it a crime? An african american santa? A doll head resembles the president is OK? but not one of the neigbors?
I too am confused...

Where did you find those? I've been looking for those for a while now.
Kelly/Culero sent them to me years ago. I'm not sure, but I think there
are more of them than you posted.

Since when is free speech limited to what is right, proper, or good?
Free speech is free to all from the ACLU to the Klan.
Well at least until liberals got hate speech and hate crime laws passed.
Guess free speech is only free when it's nice, or only offensive to non minorities.
:rolleyes:
