  • poohat1000, on 01/24/2008, -6/+317I SHALL ATTEND
    • Browzer, on 01/24/2008, -43/+5Me too. October 2, I'll be there! Fear me and my masses, Scientology!

      PS: I am not a fag.
      • jacko7, on 01/24/2008, -1/+40If you go on October 2nd, you won't have any masses. February 2nd, however...
        • LordFuxxles, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3910/02/08 in British calenders is February 10th.
        • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+18@LordFuxxies: How about we raid them on all three dates?
      • heypetray, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Dugg because I caught the sarcasm...

        Right?
    • Hoov, on 01/24/2008, -53/+2Ok guys let me know how this goes in ... 9 months.
      • Grimdotdotdot, on 01/24/2008, -4/+39It's in London, idiot.
        Our dates are done differently.
        • Murdats, on 01/24/2008, -5/+41yeah, they are done properly
          • skankyBacon, on 01/24/2008, -11/+6Do you have an actual, objective reason why DD/MM/YYYY is better than MM/DD/YYYY, or is it just "proper" because it's how you do it?
          • babar77, on 01/24/2008, -2/+16DD/MM/YYYY sorts better in filenames - etc. . It's listed in incrementing units. Kinda like the metric system - it makes sense. I'm an American wishing the US would finally start using units that are easier.
          • Smills, on 01/24/2008, -0/+19To be fair it does sort of make more sense... Small, bigger, biggest as opposed to bigger, small, biggest...
          • screensnot, on 01/24/2008, -0/+12@skanybacon

            DD/MM/YYYY shows some order, with days being shortest and years longest.

            MM/DD/YYYY seems to be random order, except that it matches the way most people (I know) would speak it. For example, February tenth, two-thousand eight. Of course, some do say, the tenth of February, two-thousand eight.

            YYYY/MM/DD would be the most logical to me. It's the format I use when I put the date in the name of a computer file. For example, Data20080210 would be my data collected on Feb 10, 2008. I do this so my files end up in chronological order.

            I worked for an American branch of a German company. You often needed to know who wrote the date before you were sure of what date they actually were talking about. It was best just to not use numbers for the month at all.
          • heypetray, on 01/24/2008, -2/+1At work, I got by MM/DD. It makes more sense that way because it's in chrono order. If you did it DD/MM You would have all files for the firsts together, then the seconds together... If looking for a file that you saved in March, you'd have to either remember the correct day you saved it, or go to 03/XX..
            Maybe it's just me.
          • LeeSoong, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1You fools!

        • lukak, on 01/24/2008, -0/+11same as australia ;)
        • buddyfarr, on 01/24/2008, -11/+1is that how the date is done in Italy? just wondering since the whole calendar is setup from the Roman calendar, (If I recollect correctly), then the only proper way would be the way that the romans did it originally. just because it is done that way in london does not mean it is the proper way.
          • BattleScars, on 01/24/2008, -2/+16I don't give ***** how the Romans did it, it's DD/MM/YYYY.
          • Grimdotdotdot, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8It is the proper way *when you are in London*.
          • moskaudancer, on 01/24/2008, -1/+6It makes more sense to order the dates from smallest graduation to largest (DD/MM/YY). I hate the way we do it in my country.
    • flxfxp, on 01/24/2008, -2/+34Confirmed for brawl!
    • StephenCIreland, on 01/24/2008, -1/+21any FAGS want to do one in dublin, ireland too, the scientology office is small so even 3/4 FAGS would do ?
      • buddyfarr, on 01/24/2008, -4/+123/4 of one fag? come on you have to have at least 1 full fag before you can have a brawl! read the rules!!

    • skyshock1, on 01/24/2008, -28/+8Of all the religions out there, Scientology is probably responsible for the LEAST amount of deaths. This should be done to ALL other religions and leave Scientology for last.

        I NEED to see this on teh youtube.
        No way I can attend, but I definitely want to see. HAHAHA.
    • SpittingUpWind, on 01/26/2008, -0/+1I wanna be there but I'm not gay or a cigarette.
      so I'll just watch from digg.

      • Rookie42, on 01/24/2008, -4/+510th February.

        Not all countries use a date format inspired by retards.
  • ZachBrock, on 01/24/2008, -9/+233This is all hilarious.
    • fletch2015, on 01/24/2008, -56/+4I agree! So many people with too much time on their hands.
    • 1337Einstein, on 01/24/2008, -1/+28@fletch2015
      Says the guy who made a profile on digg seemingly exclusively to comment on how others have too much time on their hands.
      (sorry, thought I clicked to reply to his comment)
  • jihadjohnson, on 01/24/2008, -4/+170Wish i could be there!
    • whiterice0, on 01/24/2008, -20/+1Why do any of you care about Scientology? What someone does with their own lives is their own business. It's none of yours. Do you really believe some lame online crusade is going to affect their wacked-out religion. The fact that people have joined this organization is proof positive that they don't care what normal people think.
      • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+17These people don't just do things with their own lives. Their cult hurts and even destroys other people's lives. And this 'lame crusade' has already inundated and crashed most of their servers, while at the same time extracting 'secret' files to spread around the Internet. Such a storm as this will no doubt warrant attention from the mainstream, further exposing this dangerous cult to the public, and helping to ensure that people know to avoid them.
      • mattus, on 01/24/2008, -0/+14All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
        • mrbroli, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Ah, the great wisdom of Alucard from SOTN...
      • L1ghtning, on 01/24/2008, -0/+0agreed
    • rentmitchum, on 01/24/2008, -2/+3Me too, that's my birthday. I need something to fall back on now that Smash Bros Brawl isn't being released on my birthday anymore.
  • HiKevinRose, on 01/24/2008, -4/+238Someone definitely needs to bring a camera when they go. This would be too good to pass up.
    • jj101, on 01/24/2008, -1/+50Done.
      • DroogInPhoenix, on 01/24/2008, -0/+59We also expect a laptop with internet connection so it's posted to youtube 3 minutes later.
        • H0ns, on 01/24/2008, -0/+37We also expect a LIVE-coverage of this story. C'mon stream it!
        • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -2/+16True. Otherwise it never happened.
        • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+18Please, anon is mostly comprised of web/tech savvy people. There'll be enough coverage to hide an elephant in the desert.
          • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -0/+16Pix of Anon hiding elephant in desert plz. :-)
      • Vic333, on 01/24/2008, -4/+2Yes. They need to get pictures when Xenu magically manifests himself 40 feet tall in front of the Scientology building to protect it.
    • Logicexe, on 01/24/2008, -0/+25If enough people show up they'll probably have some news coverage, wait scratch that, they'll have tons of news coverage.
      • godofgodlygods, on 01/24/2008, -1/+10Yeah... right.
        We had tens of thousands of people stormiing the streets of the nation's capital in September, two hundred getting arrested by riot police, here in the U.S., and the media didn't say a word.
        • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+7That's here in the US. They're there, in the UK. Or are things just as bad as there?
        • DogBotherer, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8Well, given the history, I imagine the BBC would love to cover it!
        • Logicexe, on 01/25/2008, -0/+2Yes but this is Scientology. People are always willing to shower attention on anything dealing with Scientology because it's controversial.
        • carpespasm, on 01/26/2008, -0/+2controversial and safe to badmouth without much fear of retribution.
    • credence, on 01/24/2008, -0/+15They don't need to bring a camera. There should be plenty of those on every corner...heh.
  • warrenterr, on 01/24/2008, -3/+600Wear a Tom Cruise mask!!!
  • neiltc13, on 01/24/2008, -82/+16Can someone please explain to me what makes scientology so much more important than other "religions" that people digg all the stories here?

    Religion is all nonsense - you might NEVER find out what the "truth" is, even after you die so what is the point?
    • sdellboy, on 01/24/2008, -1/+99Scientology costs you $300,000 to find out a 'truth'.
      All other religions let you worship for free.
      THAT is why Scientology smells so bad and why Anon have gone after them.
      • Thex1138, on 01/24/2008, -1/+10..and if you are shown to be 'imperfect' after mind washing...pay up again for the same course...
        If you can't cure cancer, cure radiation sickness or the mentally ill with your powers...or you can't walk among mortals when you're an OT then again you have to do the course over again until you can...and pay for it.
        • Nitesmoke, on 01/24/2008, -1/+15Every single Scientology article on Digg this past week: Scientology Sucks and the Internet is Fighting Back
          Comments: But Scientology is no worse than any other religion
          If you think this, go punch yourself in the face and save us the trouble, the difference has been explained to death, but you ***** keep posting the same ***** statement. Scientology is different, get over it, if you want to bash Christians, do it in a Christian thread.
          • Thex1138, on 01/24/2008, -13/+2Hypocrite
          • sq2shooter, on 01/24/2008, -3/+8No worse than any other religion? Are you just pretending to be stupid or have you zero knowledge on what makes Scientology different from all religions? One is a religion (right or wrong) and one is a financial scam (taking advantage of the gullible) pretending to be a religion.
          • Nitesmoke, on 01/24/2008, -1/+8@ sq2shooter
            Im saying what "they" were saying, I believe scientology is far worse, sorry if my description was ambiguous.
      • Kelmon, on 01/24/2008, -17/+2Oh, please. Who the hell has $300,000 (which, I admit, is about £50 these days) to spend on religion? It's a high barrier to entry that most people can't pay so by that they won't become Scientologists whereas every other religion can brainwash you for free. I'm not saying that it is not a bad religion but I am saying that it sounds less damaging than the others since you can't afford it anyway.
        • lukak, on 01/24/2008, -0/+11they take various amounts over many years, fool. it's not an entry fee.
        • Teh_Shiz, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Tom Cruise..
    • Jeffler, on 01/24/2008, -1/+27Cause this one makes people go broke, and has no real values to it whatsoever? At least others teach some positive values.

      Not to mention its smaller and easier to dent.
    • WatchDogX, on 01/24/2008, -1/+13Scientology just serves as a recent example of how easy it is to get idiots to follow your religion. I found it funny when in some Scientology song the lyrics were (sarcasticaly )"xenu sic im a freaking real as jesus"
      song: http://scisong.ytmnd.com/
    • Nivinity, on 01/24/2008, -0/+25Because they drain their followers financially, disconnect them from their non scientologist family, deny ill people medication, silence their critics, and have a doctrine of brainwashing LRon took from Stalin's secret police. Look up operation snow white, operation freakout and all the legal summaries by judges calling it an oppressive and brutal organization. They even have their own labour camps. Just do some research from non scientologist sources
    • envirotex, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8They're more than a little bit fascist and we know where that leads.

      Tax exept status kinda ***** a lot of people too.
    • kevyn, on 01/24/2008, -0/+17Scientology teaches people to sort of pretend that mental illness doesn't exist, which harms a lot of innocent ill people.
    • Pixelante, on 01/24/2008, -0/+19Scientology is proprietary, DRM-protected, copyrighted religion.
      Christianity ,on the other hand, is free, open-source religion and if you're especially good at coding (like Luther), you can even fork it.
      • GNAAstaos, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8Best nerd-friendly summary ever.
      • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Shame the core engine was CVS hacked in the beta version.
      • slvrbullet87, on 01/24/2008, -2/+1Christianity was coded on Linux. Scientology isnt MAC compatable
        • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -2/+1Good, I wouldn't want that ***** anywhere near my Mac. However, given Christianity's status in the world of religions, I'd say it's more Microsoft than Apple. Apple would be... either Buddhist, Hindu, or Zen, or some other eastern religion. As would Linux.
      • Drood, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Pixelante, that may be the single finest comment I've read on Digg! As for why going against Scientology... Only someone who knows nothing about Scientology would ask that question. Pixelante summed it up perfectly. Watch the orientation video that's leaked. Their entire argument on "Is Scientology really a religion?" is based entirely on court decisions around the world. They are a cult. They're evil. And I wish ANON all the luck in the world in bringing these brainwashing sacks of ***** down, and failing that being a MASSIVE thorn in their side and exposing them for what they really are.
        • Pixelante, on 01/25/2008, -0/+0Darn. I've said something that passes as smart. I fail at Digg.
    • Inquisition, on 01/24/2008, -2/+1Why is there always someone in these Scientology discussions that can't wait to bash every other religion? Post your own article and bash religion there. This is a discussion regarding Scientology, and not religion in general.
    • calon9, on 01/24/2008, -1/+1None of the comments here so far (while true), really indicate why Scientology is any worse than any other religion. There are probably tons of far worse atrocities in other religions (because they have been around much longer and have had more time to rack up the horrors).

      But Scientology is the first religion out there to rely heavily on intimidation, backed by lawyers and big money, to censor and ruin the reps and lives of people who choose to criticize them or even just choose to talk about them publicly. Scientology seems to go hand in hand with oppression of free speech, and that is what pisses off so many people, especially young people who grew up with the freedom and empowerment of the internet.
      • feebie, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2It's worse because it's a mind controlling cult.
      • Drood, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1I dislike organised religion of any kind as it invariably leads to madness, but as feebie says, it's a mind controlling cult. The actions of Scientology are that of a cult, NOT a religion. I mean it's banned in Germany because it's a cult.

        And really, I'm not heading into any cult or religion created by an author until Terry Pratchett comes up with his own religion. Then you can count me in!
    • TrevorBelmont, on 01/24/2008, -1/+1Educate yourself.
  • zerosaber8, on 01/24/2008, -6/+136Good luck ANON
  • schmiggyjk, on 01/24/2008, -16/+243Knowledge is free.

    • ufia, on 01/24/2008, -5/+26That sounds more and more like a bad hacking-the-gibson flick.
      • Wangzero, on 01/24/2008, -0/+16there's no way to ruin a movie if hacking gibsons are involved!

        • Shawshanksr, on 01/24/2008, -4/+9it means infinity dumbass
          • davosjh, on 01/26/2008, -0/+1 In ordinary (real number) arithmetic, the expression has no meaning. It was a joke.
    • LemonHerb, on 01/24/2008, -3/+10It sounds cool until you realize the guy typing it is some random net nerd. Don't take yourself too seriously, you will be just like scientology then.
      • ligyron, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9Since when are net nerds not taken seriously?
      • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+13We don't take this that seriously. Some of us are in it purely for the lulz.
    • nova9, on 01/24/2008, -6/+1Stupid fvcking motto

      • martalli, on 01/24/2008, -1/+5You mean Protest != terrorism
    • bitspace, on 01/24/2008, -0/+4My thoughts exactly. It has been announced to the world. Even if this is just a call for peaceful protest, if there have already been crimes committed (whether the cause is just or not) then certainly there will be interested law enforcement agencies all over this already.
      • Nitesmoke, on 01/24/2008, -0/+4Its hard to get alot of people to show up if no one knows about it.
    • Murdats, on 01/24/2008, -0/+12ok guys, listen up.

  • crackah, on 01/24/2008, -15/+132Why Fags? What?
    • kevyn, on 01/24/2008, -3/+9I wondered that - at first I thought it was going to be something to do with a pro gay movement deciding they had enough with Scientology's discrimination.
      • tyzilla, on 01/24/2008, -23/+0Scientologist's do not discriminate against gays. They do not discriminate against anyone. Scientologists welcome anyone who wants to be a part of the religion, straight or gay.

        Please learn something about Scientology, before you make assumptions.

        And honestly, do other religions not discriminate against gays?
        • duke, on 01/24/2008, -0/+10Well, you have a point - they accepted Tom Cruise, after all.
      • Kornmoshpitt, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5theyve gotten to you , maybe you can be brainwashed back into reality
      • doomcomplex, on 01/24/2008, -0/+7they "accept" gays into their church so they can attempt to brainwash them into heterosexuality--which usually results in depression or suicide. Yup, you guys are totally accepting.
        • wentwj, on 01/24/2008, -4/+2hmmm what other religions try to brainwash gays to heterosexuality.

          Man, I think Scientology is absolutely retarded, but you people need to get a grip. ALL religions brainwash people, thats HOW they can continue to exist. Do you really think grown rational men will sit down and buy into ANY religion. All religions depend on feeding on people's fears and ignorance.
    • ultraJesus, on 01/24/2008, -2/+88Its an inside joke of anonymous.
    • imakeart4u, on 01/24/2008, -5/+44because Scientology says that being gay is a disease and that they can cure them of it just like they did with tom cruise and john Travolta.
      • Audacitor, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9I don't think they succeeded in either case.
    • Karkian, on 01/24/2008, -3/+49Anyone from the British Isles is known as a Britfag in certain Internet circles. Just as those from the USA are Amerikkkans.

        • dok333, on 01/24/2008, -13/+0I would think Amerikkkanazi would be more fitting
          -I am american
          -I am not a klansman
          -I am not a nazi
          -I do find it humorous though
      • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9I prefer the equivocal term "merkin".
      • jessier101, on 01/24/2008, -5/+0WTF Amerikkan..? You better double check your resources...

    • shiftclick, on 01/24/2008, -0/+37Isn't a "fag" a cigarette in England?
      • Godlesswanderer, on 01/24/2008, -0/+20It sure is, although I doubt they're calling all cigarettes in London to the CoS building.
      • scott12087, on 01/24/2008, -4/+3Really? I thought it was a very old wooden ship.
      • Phy6, on 01/24/2008, -5/+2I think a fag also means a bundle of sticks/kindling. i.e. something that burns quickly. srsly.
      • RMoore08, on 01/24/2008, -6/+3I thought a fag was gay *****.... guess I could be wrong....
    • microbefox, on 01/24/2008, -3/+6It's probably similar when sergeants call maggots... well maggots. :P

    • WatchDogX, on 01/24/2008, -5/+34Why do Americans have to do everything the hard way. Imperial system, date format mixed up etc.
      • doomeyes, on 01/24/2008, -7/+10When someone asks us Americans the date, we usually say Month Day.
        "What's today's date?"
        "January 24th."
        Isn't that easier than saying, "The 24th of January."?
        • ecape7, on 01/24/2008, -8/+18NO!! cos usually people know what month thiere in !!!
          • skankyBacon, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Telling someone the current date isn't the only reason you'd ever say a date.
            "When's your wedding?"
            "What's your birthday?"
            etc...
        • deeringc, on 01/24/2008, -5/+11Well... the best way to represent a date in a logical format is from smallest unit to largest: day / month / year
          Thats the way Europe and I think most of the rest of the world (except the US) does it! We can still SAY Jan 24th or 24th of Jan, but in writing, to avoid any confusion, we stick with the increasing date unit format!
          • bxblox, on 01/24/2008, -2/+2While in Europe people assume everyone else is doing it wrong, the rest of the world does it from largest unit to smallest.
          • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5A better way is larger to smaller, which can then be sorted alphanumerically.
        • lcarsdeveloper, on 01/24/2008, -1/+4"What's today's date?"
          "24th of January"
          or usually more like:
          "It's the 24th".
          • skankyBacon, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Hey, my birthday is on the 4th, hope you can make it.

            Would you assume that means February?
        • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+6Do you also put the time in mm:hh:ss format?
      • aladrin, on 01/24/2008, -0/+17That's okay, I still haven't figured out why everyone doesn't go to the international date format - 2008-01-24. Impossible to mistake, sorts even as text... So much better.
        • skinfitz, on 01/24/2008, -0/+7...and an ISO standard.
        • ligyron, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Yup. I always use that format, whether it be naming log files or signing papers
      • demonsnake69, on 01/24/2008, -12/+9Yeah man, saying January 24, 2007 is really ***** stupid -- damn I hate America.

          In related news the British Foreign Office today released a statement claiming that it hasn't been the 1800s in Merry-Old-Fish-&-Chips-Cup-of-Tea-Mary-Poppins-England for over 200 years; this reporter remains sceptical.

        • phronko, on 01/24/2008, -3/+4And Canada.

          Where we're sorta confused and use both, so you never know which it is.

          The world should just pick one and stick with it.
        • RockinRoel, on 01/24/2008, -1/+6International isn't yyyy/dd/mm, it's yyyy-mm-dd.
          Also, here in Belgium it's dd/mm/yy. I've been using yyyy-mm-dd for years now, though. I wonder why nobody does that, it's the standard! They taught me that in my first year in high school, but the teachers don't even use it.
        • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Sorry AussieNickuss. My bad.
      • skankyBacon, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3I say just remove all ambiguity. That's why I use "10 February 2008" or "10 Feb 2008." Hard to take that the wrong way.
    • bxblox, on 01/24/2008, -2/+4i thought so too

    • kitkatsavvy, on 01/24/2008, -3/+8hey its not my fault that america is still stuck in the imperial dark ages! you guys still use pounds and inches and have month/day/year instead of day/month/year

      mmm no wonder theres a recession lol ...nah just kidding..it would cost a crapload of money to convert you yanks to metric..you never know tho :)
      • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+4It's not even proper imperial. Have you seen the size of their pints?
  • poidh, on 01/24/2008, -33/+9What's funny is that there are constant calls in threads on Digg to be "tolerant" of peoples' religions, especially Islam of course. But it seems that Scientology is fair game. I wonder if Scientology would be fair game if they started exploding/ threatening to chop off heads/ etc.
    • Tanktunker, on 01/24/2008, -0/+22Scientology hurts people and destroys lives, and they do it in a passive agressive manner, which is even worse than the whole suicide bombing terrorism thing, because it's much harder to warn people about them like this.
    • suppah, on 01/24/2008, -2/+12well, it seems that the extensive techniques of brainwashing, showing up to your friends and harassing people who left (untill they suicide) make of scientology a fair game.
      • poidh, on 01/24/2008, -1/+1I understand that. But since Islam is approximately 100,000 times worse, how come Islam isn't fair game.

        Again, here's the real answer. It's because Scientologists haven't worked out the art of exploding yet.
        • CanNot, on 01/28/2008, -0/+1Scientology is doing terrible things in a free nation. Islamic people are doing terrible things in nations they own. AKA Scientology does not have the right to do what they do in our nations.
    • Myztry, on 01/24/2008, -6/+1Correct. But for every one that says that, there's plenty more that say the opposite.
    • skinfitz, on 01/24/2008, -5/+11All religions should be treated with the respect they deserve. (i.e. none).
    • harpwn, on 01/24/2008, -2/+8^^^ Scientologist ^^^

        • warrenterr, on 01/24/2008, -2/+2actually it's slang for kid in UK, so it's not in the regular definition
    • Suricou, on 01/24/2008, -1/+12Its a 4chan thing. They have their own language - everyone is a fag to them. Its not even intended as an insult. They just deliberatly use a socially-unacceptable word casually in informal protest of the rules that deem it unacceptable.
      • phronko, on 01/24/2008, -1/+5Nothing like an offensive inside joke to get the public behind your cause.
    • ooblez, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2on chan everything is like that, britfag,newfag,oldfag,macfag,winfag ect... its the closest it has to a term of endearment.

  • zdiddy85, on 01/24/2008, -7/+2Burn baby burn.
  • kevyn, on 01/24/2008, -0/+28amazing. plus if I'm not mistaken, the church is just around the corner from the Tate Modern... so you can have a nice trip afterwards
  • Blaircowanuk, on 01/24/2008, -0/+46Im there in my Xenu mask!....It's on like Donkey Kong.

    They hangout outside the Salvation Army HQ in london, on the north side of the wobbly bridge. Stopped and had a go on an E-Meter once...what utter BS!

    "Are you stressed about anyting?"
    "Course im stressed...four bombs went off on the tube last week!!!!!!!!!!"


    • tyzilla, on 01/24/2008, -26/+1You never HAD to go on the E-meter.

      You chose to.
      • rabidgoldfish, on 01/24/2008, -0/+19"had A go" --> That's of his own accord. (That's also what he said.)

        "had TO go" --> Not of his own accord. (And not what he said.)
        • Corporaltaco, on 01/24/2008, -1/+0who ***** cares? That guy is a retard just let him become some story on Darwin Awards
      • widebhoy, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8Learn to read before you type.
  • baldgye, on 01/24/2008, -2/+82I wish I was a London fag....with a mask :(
    • Sharky35, on 01/24/2008, -2/+10I thought a fag was a cig in the queens engrish?
      • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -0/+15Cigarette, gay man, and/or private school lowerclassman who performs menial tasks (polishing boots, making tea, running errands, etc.) for older boys. Ours is a rich and ancient culture.
  • nirav72, on 01/24/2008, -3/+20Wait..I thought raids were suppose to be a surprise? Its not a raid anymore if the date is known ahead of time is it?
    • moridinamael, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5Even if there's no raid, they've already caused a ruckus just by posting this.
    • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Bets that this will be a decoy to cover some other publicity-grabbing stunt by Anon.
  • Tanktunker, on 01/24/2008, -3/+21Best be it that the Church calls the cops beforehand, nobody shows up and they get fined.
  • JagoRayken, on 01/24/2008, -8/+1Why announce it? it should be secret so they don't know when you are coming. the church could get the police involved and then you get mass arrests.
    • Tanktunker, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9Cool, so how would it be SECRET on the INTERNET?
    • Skitals, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2V broadcast that ***** on the hijacked communist airwaves a year in advance...
      • beloitpiper, on 01/24/2008, -0/+0V is also a fictional character in a fantasy world. If you recall the REAL V (Guy Fawkes, for everybody else) he was arrested and killed.
    • phronko, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Yeah, there are laws against wearing a mask in public! You can't just announce you're gonna do that!
      Wait...
      • Blaircowanuk, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1There is no law about wearing a mask in the UK.
    • guybrush58, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Theres all sorts of protests which happen in London, its generally seen as a basic civil right in western countries
  • Copsh, on 01/24/2008, -0/+17i got a camera. will see you ladies later...
  • ecape7, on 01/24/2008, -11/+3Thiere "Church" in london is huge like a palace -
  • WestEast, on 01/24/2008, -8/+0Can we not just form some kind of A-Team and shoot them onsite?

    okay...okay I know the A-Team didnt actually ever manage to wound anyone.......but watching them publically piss themselves would be nice!
    • Lafftermath, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8Ain't gettin on no plane, Hannibal...
    • LocDawg, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2in b4 v&
    • CanNot, on 01/28/2008, -0/+1Yeah, well, Plan A always fails, so let's just skip it and send in the B-Team.
  • noseeme, on 01/24/2008, -19/+9I can has moar Scientology stories on the front page plzkthnx???
  • Sub7, on 01/24/2008, -4/+18I can't make it that day, I'm free on Friday if we're raiding Karazan though. I'll bring my lock.
  • chase001, on 01/24/2008, -24/+10I am an Athiest, but I see religious intolerance is as alive and kicking as racism even today. All Cults of Faith are equally dangerous whether it is Scientology, Christianity, Islam, etc, etc.
    • TwoDotOh, on 01/24/2008, -2/+6You are why we are one of the most distrusted minorities.
    • Suricou, on 01/24/2008, -2/+1No, some are clearly more dangerous than others. Islam and dominionist christian churches are competing closely for the top spot. Scientology comes well below them. But there are also many religions well below scientology on the danger rankings.
    • RedHerringHack, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Must be black? Use any excuse to get your whiney racism opinion in front of eyes. I guess you are... mmm 22.
    • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -1/+6Scientology != proper religion
      Scientology = successful scam
      • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Define "proper" religion.
        • credence, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2I'd argue a religion is something that can be discussed and criticized rationally. Martin Luther caused a stir by nailing some ***** to the wall a while back when he had a problem with the church and he was not killed nor sued for it.

          The Cult of Scientology routinely uses its strange hybrid status as both a corporation and a religion to drop DMCAs for anyone criticizing their beliefs, censoring free speech. See:

          http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/01/03/16/1256226.shtml

          I'm not saying Jesusmen, Joos, etc are right or even rational all the time. I am just saying they don't attack sites with Copyright takedowns when they read something critical of their organization.
        • bosssmiley, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1A proper religion: one that offers consolation and hope against the harsh realities of life *without* trying to get its grubby fingers into your wallet.
          Any organisation that demands _mandatory_ tithes to the church (rather than mandating that you give directly to charity - like Islam does) isn't the real deal.
          A true search for God precludes worship of Mammon.
    • specialK16, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3Don't give the religious intolerance card here. Scientology is not a religion, is just a brainwashing scam created by a lunatic addicted to pills.
      • chase001, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1Have you read any of the Book of Revelations? What was that guy on?
    • topace3000, on 01/24/2008, -3/+1Cults of Faith? Calm the ***** down, scientology is a bit different from most religions.
      • chase001, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1Are you saying that your invisible friends is better than their invisible friend?
        • CanNot, on 01/28/2008, -0/+2Half of them don't even know they have invisible friends!
  • DroogInPhoenix, on 01/24/2008, -1/+61I was at a coffee shop across from the Scientology celebrity center, they are on a main public street, we decided to walk and talk, and we were followed around that building by a guy in a suit. That is scary, it's a public street with houses and shops across it.
  • TwwIX, on 01/24/2008, -18/+7Umm,Fags!?Derogatory, no?
    • Suricou, on 01/24/2008, -0/+7Context. Its 4chan - they use fag casually, not always as an insult, and regardless of sexuality.
    • RedHerringHack, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Just a word. Who cares what other people think?
  • demonsnake69, on 01/24/2008, -23/+2I don't like Anon at all -- so will they try to ***** my ***** up?
  • Vash3001, on 01/24/2008, -2/+4EFG
  • Vash3001, on 01/24/2008, -3/+17some of you people don't get it.
    lurk moar.
  • 3leggedHorse, on 01/24/2008, -20/+1 Great that is really worth going to London which is a ***** hole anyway, to waste my time on a bunch of dicks like scientologists. Fun for all the family.
  • Deaconstructed, on 01/24/2008, -2/+14What, no punch and pie?

    But seriously, good luck... I'm a tad far.
  • 3leggedHorse, on 01/24/2008, -24/+3 In fact ***** anything with the word science in it. Science if for ***** morons.
    • nullifidian0, on 01/24/2008, -1/+5So are dictionaries, apparently.
      • CanNot, on 01/28/2008, -0/+1Yeah, because a dictionary would have made him use "is" instead of "if".
  • Dugahol, on 01/24/2008, -2/+19I hope people band together and actually make this happen now... If no one shows $cientology will somehow twist this into being a win for them.
  • CATSCEO, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Resistance is futile.
