Hey look, a balloon!

Reminds me of a joke.

How many ADD kids does it take to change a lightbulb?

I don't think there was a conscious decision to derail. I just saw an opportunity for a Purim joke, and I took it.* The thread devolved from there, but anyone's free to discuss the life and times and eternal damnation of Jerry.

*Opportunities for Purim jokes don't grow on trees, ya know.

One. Because if you beat anybody enough they'll be able to focus through simple tasks.

You get me in a LoT of trouble with posts like this.

Clusterfig.

As for the examples of hate shown on the board, I myself called Dead Jerry Falwell a "turd" and a "fvcker." Dead Jerry Falwell was the founder of the Moral Majority, an intolerant aand hateful group of people if ever there was one. Dead Jerry Falwell's many hateful quotes have been catalogued here already. Honestly, Nephy, the man verbally attacked (and probably inspired more than a few physical attacks) the very people you spend your vacations with. Can you even imagine the bile he would have spewed regarding your attendance at a Wiccan wedding ceremony?
A couple of years ago, when visiting my grandmother in Joplin, MO, my brother, my mother, and I went to church with grandma. Since it was Mother's Day, grandma thought we should go to her other daughter's church so we could all be together. The Church At The End Of The Paved Road (not it's real name) was pleasant enough, surrounded by cow pastures, and at least a 20 minute walk from the highway. It wasn't long before a typical midwest thunderstorm kicked in to add atmospheric value to the proceedings. The pulpit's Mother's Day message consisted mostly of slams at Rosie O'Donnell's recent adoptions, that horrible woman Hillary Clinton, and digs at Ellen "Degenerate." I sh!t you not. For 30 minutes I had to sit quietly and listen to hate and venom spewing from this idiot's mouth. At the end of the service, my brother passed close to me and said brightly, "I feel for ya!" At that moment I needed that bit of levity. Now, for anyone reading this, you might think, "Why didn't you go out to the lobby and wait? Or go get a Starbucks? Or anything?" We were sitting about dead center of the (quonset hut) sanctuary, had I gone to the lobby, 2 or 3 of the helpful farm folk would have accompanied me to "make sure I was okay." Any conversation would have turned bad quickly. Oh, and the church was in the middle of nowhere, and there was that thunderstorm. Better to sit and bite my tongue.
It was a little later that I found out we had not gone to my grandma's regular church, but, more than likely for my benefit, to a church where she knew I'd get an earful. I have no tolerance for the likes of Falwell, Phelps, or any of their ilk. While I would not hold a gun to his head, and I'd probably help him out of the way of a speeding bus, I certainly think its swell that Dead Jerry Falwell is dead. Hip-hip-hooray!!!!

As for the anti-funeral, not the same as the Phelps klan showing up AT and disrupting funerals they haven't been invited to.

My little niece took a big smelly crap in her dipper and it somehow reminded me of this thread.

As Alex said, and I agree with, it is removed from that. But it's not far enough removed from it for me to be particularly fond of the idea.

Well, pick a public figure who is constantly and loudly anti-Jewish, and consider the same circumstances.

Since it appears that Nephy cannot post in this thread (I am speculating by her comments in the "Soo..." thread and her lack of posting here), I don't believe any comments directed to her would be appropriate here.

I haven't read details on the plans for the Anti Funeral, but if any of it includes a disruption of the Falwell funeral, then it is EXACTLY the same - and it is bullshyte.

But even a get-together celebrating anyone's death is, in my opinion, crude and ill-advised. People have a right to do so, but I think it is in extremely poor taste. I hated the crap that Falwell (and his ilk) perpetuated and I am happy that his voice is silenced (although I suspect that nature will fill this vacuum in a possibly even worse way), but I am not happy at the death of a person.
