I know what scientology is (aside from your overly biased and one-sided definition) but I don't know what a scientology "raid" is.

Are scientologists raiding the streets of somewhere?

I wasn't defining scientology.  I was describing how they're commonly perceived.  I call it a pseudo-religion because it isn't a religion but it has religious principles.  I said it was infamous for various things because it does have a soiled reputation for those things.  I did not say I agree that the the things I mentioned are true.

I say you have limited inference skills (I'm seriously starting to believe that this is more true than I thought initially) because you failed to gain the necessary context of the subject at hand.  Go back a page or two and look at the photos.  Raid is the wrong word, as iago pointed out, but if you saw Newby's posts, I'd be shocked if you couldn't muster the background necessary to figure out what's going on.

Funny how people keep misusing the word "raid" :P

It's cool, that's why I put it in quotes. :)

Yeah, that doesn't help.

I know it's some sort of mob thing ... but only because I just read (like 2 minutes ago) a story about something in Clearwater do I have an idea.  People protesting scientology I'm guessing?  (Since you were too busy belittling me to explain something simple)

There was no Scientology "raid", there were big "protests" against Scientology. The fact that people keep calling it a "raid" is pissing me off.

Did you mean to quote me?  I'm not trying to be directly helpful in this specific situation.  I'm not forgiving enough to directly answer your question after crap like this. :P

Oh, incidentally, I saw a poster for "Anon vs. Scientology" somewhere on campus today.  I thought that was pretty funny.  There are Anonymous mountain men too! :D

Thanks.  Maybe Sidoh could learn something from you.


"Crap like this"?  The kid got arrested again and really, it isnt unexpected.  Why not post it?

I'm referring specifically to this post.  Instead of answering the question directly, you said the people should look it up on Google and poke around on the forums to find related stuff.

Haha damnit, I totally forgot about that! If I'd remembered, I wouldn't have answered either. Oh well. :)

im going to ask you to calm down

My google weather forecast predicted 13 F for today's temperature. So the newspaper I'm looking at online should predict around the same. Oh, it predicts 12 F. What an AMAZING event. It predicted something similar AGAIN. It isn't UNEXPECTED. So I am obviously obliged to make this post.

Black people go to jail, that's all I'm saying really ... I'm racist, what else would I say?

You forgot the "drunk" and "redneck" parts, but I'll let that slide since it's all automatically in every post I make.

And other people don't go to jail?

A scientology "raid" is when a bunch of bored people, probably during WoW's tuesday downtime, stand outside of the Church of Scientology (or whatever they call that place) with big signs that say "Honk if you hate Xenu!"
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

That isn't a raid, it's a protest.
