Funny thing happened today

[BPTactical]

So I ran up to the local "Smashburger" on 120th today to grab grub. There is a church a ways east from it and they had a bunch of Pro-Lifers out on the sidewalk on 120th holding up all the usual Pro-Life paraphenalia.
Whatever-its a relatively free country as of today.
As I get my grub and leave the store I barely get out of the doorway and some nag shoves a rather graphic abortion brochure in my face and starts on her spiel.
I don't have tolerance for that kinda crap at all. Besides, I'm hungry and cranky.
So I asked her what her views were on Capitol Punishment.
"Oh I am all for "An eye for an eye" and if the punishment fits the crime" was here reply.
I told her she was a 'effin hypocrite.
Just then the manager came out and gave her hell, he had apparantly chased her off before.

Now I know the two are entirely different scenarios but a life is a life.

funny.

I understand what you are saying Bert, and I have little tolerance for anyone who disturbs my peace with whatever political agenda they happen to be pushing.

That said, killing a convicted criminal is not the same as killing an unborn child. Just my $.02

Chuck - Given our history on convicting criminals I'd say there are some parallels.

If someone jumped in front of me with a gory picture, it'd probably be survival instinct to lay them the F out with a right hook.

I had some guy approach me trying to sell some crap out of a can. He didn't even tell me what it was, just that he was promoting it. He pointed it at my car and said "Check this out!" I about had to lay him out to get him not to spray it. Then he asked, "Oh is this your only car?"

What the hell? The issue was I had no idea what he was talking about.

[Elhuero]

yeah, who knows how many people that unborn child has murdered. it deserves to die!

I'm pro-life, but there's a way to effectively promote your position on issues that are important to you. Invading a person's personal space with graphic portrayals of aborted babies probably isn't one of those effective ways. It is a good way to possibly get punched in the face though. Especially when your hungry.

That being said, I don't agree with the idea that being pro-life and agreeing with capital punishment is hypocritical. If it is, than being pro-choice and against capital punishment is hypocritical as well.

You don't know what was in the can? I think it's pretty obvious. Everybody knows what's in the can!
