1. That picture of the preacher and the android couple is creepy...
Looks like a Kool-Aid overdose to me.

17. Agreed. "We got ours!" says the young couple...
And they allow themselves to be posed like that. Nice kids, using their privelege to stop others from receiving equal rights.

2. Gee,
I'm opposed to their effort to amend the Florida constitution, of course, but, what exactly is your objection to the picture?

Are you sure you aren't able to explain your objection to the picture?

7. It is posed as was the whole event. Meant to demean.
Never mind. It is a rather abstract concept of manipulation. Maybe I think more abstractly than some.

13. Posed?
Most pictures for announcements and such are posed.

Actually, the composition is a little poor so if it was posed it was done poorly.

21. I see it.
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 02:28 PM by notadmblnd
your are right, it is hard to articulate. but I think that the pretension and shallowness of these people just ooze out through their poors.

They glorify themselves before God surrounding themselves with expensive clothes, hairdos (btw his fade is about 10 years out of style) and possessions (their megacurch) The very appearance of them defies everything that Christ taught.

People like this is the very reason I have turned my back on all things religious. It's just their gig, their way to make money. there's nothing godly about them.

on edit: madfloridian deleted her post. I misunderstod and went to the website that was linked there. I was looking at pics of the church and the pastor and his wife, thats what my comments were regarding.

24. Well I'm not inclined to like the people in the picture either.
But in what way is the picture some kind of evil propaganda?

25. I edited my post.
I was looking at something entirely different. as far as the wedding couple go, they look like cardboard cutouts. Other than that I find no hidden message that is derogatory to anyone.

4. Creepy but brilliant!
These people are not playing around. Can you see what this picture is saying with absolutely no words? There has been this huge push by the cons to get the black religious support on the gay marriage thing and this picture sums it up with visuals only, they can get to the illiterates too!!
These are strange politics indeed and Rove has his fingerprints all over it!

8. Why don't you tell us?

No, I can't, why don't you tell me, please? Thank you in advance.

10. Those CHILDREN will be divorced in a matter of a few years.
After producing a few desparately wanted offspring first, of course.

11. Other than the fact that the woman needs to eat something...
This just looks like another homophobe to me. I don't get what's so special about the picture.

18. Can't you see what is wrong with that "dot" as you so smugly put it
without words?

(I missed it too!)

This just may be the greatest thread ever!

19. I have the original post. It was a very good one.
I actually thought people would see the propaganda styles they were using. I actually thought that. People here in our city saw it, and the paper is getting calls on it.

I deleted it rather than start something. I am cautious here now in my posts. Perhaps others could follow suit.

I saved the post, it was a good one. I am stunned at the lack of abstract thinking sometimes.

22. Cautious? About what?
I don't get it, what are you 'cautious' about? Why do you not want to talk about it? What is there it be afraid of? You don't want to "start something"? Huh? What are you talking about?

23. Why can't you articulate it in words?
it's exceedingly odd that you would post something that you feel is obviously 'wrong', and then when people ask for an explanation, you delete the picture.

Again, why not just put it into a few words so we know what you're talking about?

26. I am as capable of "abstract" thinking as anyone
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 02:47 PM by notmypresident
But when I do engage in such thinking and I want to share my views with the rest of the world, then a little linear thinking and plain speaking is required.

Actually I think you are just saying we are all clueless clods who aren't as smart as you. :-)

28. A truly elegant dot!
I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of images. The way he's *holding* her... it's almost... filthy. I mean, he's about to kiss her and she's pulling away. The way the leg's sort of smashed up against her... Phew... Look how he's painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it's sort of touching him about here. It's really... pretty torrid, don't you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they're all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see an image like this, I get emotionally... erect.
