A few weeks before a christmas display was destroyed, so before you start using these events indite a group of people it might be a good idea to look at the facts, namely, Detroit is city where vandals run rampant

@ ATL-Apostate,
In its “present state”?
Detroit has been a shithole since the late 1960′s. This is a great clip from Kentucky Fried Movie:

Richard Wade replied to martymankins:

It has been said before, but bears repeating, that the fear is from the weakness of their own thin, flimsy faith. Seeing that poster puts the question into their minds, and they don’t like the doubt it stirs. Majority or not, they are fragile inside.

Very well stated/repeated, Richard.

I love the irony.

If there was ever a city in the US that, by it’s very existence in it’s present state, argues against the presence of a loving, compassionate god, it is Detroit.

If he exists, god obviously doesn’t give a shit about detroit.

This is a hate crime and should be covered on the news as such.

Even if the insurance companies have their say, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll have the ability to censor messages. Direct editorial control can be very bad for organizations who would prefer not to be “on the hook” for lawsuits about those messages. It’s probably more likely it’ll simply mean higher insurance premiums, and therefore higher costs for running ads.

We know that the argument of the believer boils down to “I know it ’cause I feel it in my heart.” They can’t logically refute any counter message. Therefore they try the Orwellian approach of expunging the message itself. If the opinion of the nonbeliever can be blocked completely, it never happened. Praise Jesus and the Ministry of Truth.

@Dan,
That is indeed a risk. At some point in time, insurance companies will give their input, and we all know how that will go…

I worry… because all these bus companies are replacing the ads with their own money… are future bus companies NOT going to put up ads in the future because they don’t want to risk having to put their own money up for replacements if these future ads also get defaced?
