Close, but what I am sure you meant to say was "any other group (when seeing the wrappers) would have ignored this"any other group would have had this ignored.
Christians get offended by everything though,and then try to take whatever they get offended by away from everyone else instead of just ignoring it, thats why they always get so much attentionAkaran_D wrote:Because one group got offended by it?
Doesn't matter WHO got offended. Someone did. It's being blown out of porportion because it was a Catholic college that did.. any other group would have had this ignored.

When you graduate high school, you had better put on your bigboy pants because there is a whole world out there for you to hate and I don't think you can handle it at this point.

I don't think this can be exclusively tied to religious people.

good sarcasm detector built up you have there. Sexual sweets hoax unveiled - a schoolboy prank
2 September 2004
BONN - Reports that a Catholic boarding school had objected to new sweet wrappers for portraying "fruits in sexual positions" turned out to be based on a prank by schoolboys, shame-faced officials said.
Germany's tabloid press had trumpeted the allegations of "sugar candies depicted as having sex with lemons" on the wrappers of new Maoam candies by the Bonn-based Haribo confection company.
The source of the complaints was a letter from St Blasien Jesuit College near Bonn, stating that wrappers in bright yellow, red and green colours show lemons, limes, strawberries, cherries and oranges playfully engaging in sex.
"We are shocked at the shameless presentation of sexual practices on the wrapping," wrote the college in a letter complaining about the new packaging of Moaom fruit chews.
But the letter turned out to have been a hoax perpetrated by pupils at the school who admitted writing it and posting it on the Internet "as a joke".
"They never thought anybody in their right mind would take it seriously," said Assistant Headmaster Ralph Mertens. "We have admonished the boys not to post unauthorised things on the Internet but see no need to take further punitive steps."
Haribo was inundated with enquiries from around the world after news of the "sexy fruit" spread.
"We were overwhelmed by the response," said company spokesman Marco Alfter. "We got letters and e-mail from as far away as Japan and America.

Your history of posting on these boards shows you to be a bigotted person with a compulsion towards spewing that hatred to one group and one group only, Christians.
If anyone else on this board were to be so single minded in their hatred of homosexuals they would be branded instantly, I suggest the next time you bend over to take one up the ass you kill two birds with one stone and get the brand you so richly deserve, BIGOT, FANATIC in big bold letters.

A lot of things posted on this board I take with a grain of salt and try to keep an open mind about different people's point of view, but this is the most stupid statement or argument I've ever seen. Insert any other group into that statement and you'll see.Xyun wrote:What better group to hate than silly fuckin chritians?
krin's shown himself to be pretty fucking stupid so far on the boards, what with his posting comments that he refuses to back up at all. Don't expect much of an answer.

Yes Christians are persecuting peopleLohrno wrote:Man Atokal you are such a whiner.
Any time anyone says anything like "The Christians won't like this." Or "Christian fundies are acting up again." you act like Christians are being persecuted. Sorry, they've been the ones who have been doing the persecuting the for the past 300 or so years (in America). Now it's fine if someone says "ehh Christians are a bunch of pompous asses." Then I can kind of see it, but you act like a whiny fucking martyr at every opportunity. I'm sick of you and all others with this attitude. There are reasons for the separation of church and state, as well as freedom of religion. Christians are people just like everyone else, there are good and bad ones. Please don't be an example of the latter.
