And, suddenly, the world feels right again...

Now, this is the kind of reactionary rhetoric they had when I was a lass!

Wow! Yep, that is some good old time misguided preaching!

It's almost enough to make a girl feel warm and homesick.

Reminds me of a incident that happened a few years ago in Alberta:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_family_murders
I remember when CTV first reported it they tried to completely blame it on goth culture, the RCMP however was thankfully quick to point out that it wasn't a big influence, it had more to do with the fact that a 23 year old nutball who thought he was a werewolf was in a pedophile relationship with a twelve year old. Thats more sensational than black nail polish, I think, wonder why the news went straight for the goth angle.

Saya - In the link you posted, it didn't say anything about them being goth. This just proves the ignorant stereotypes which the media will use to preach their crap about us.
Now, that someone once upon a time named that place Medicine Hat, Alberta would be wothy of a story...

Not to threadjack much, but I'm thinking about starting a thread about unusual city names and their origins. There's a place near here called Gun Barrel City, TX that I just know has a story behind it. And a few others I'm interested in ... Spread Eagle, WI ... Truth or Consequences, NM ... Hell, MI ... Sweet Lips, TN ... Intercourse, PA ... and Climax, GA.
I'm thinking those last few would give a fire and brimstone preacher something to talk about. Whynot, MS!

It didn't say in the link, I said I remember the actual news footage from CTV, which the RCMP was quick to downplay, the next day if I remember correctly. I think as an apology CTV did a little bit on "goth culture" and how its far removed from what happened.
Hey Ben, I went to high school in a town that is right next to the infamous community of Dildo. My school's mailing address is actually directed to Southern Dildo.
And they seriously celebrate Dildo Days in the summer.

Seems to me like somebody took Monti's plot seriously *roll-eyes*

Oh no, monti's either insane or a troll. This pastor definitely preaches the things I was told constantly as a child in church and at home about the (dun-dun-DUN) Dark Side and how my affectionate feelings toward Morticia Addams were opening a door for the Devil to get through. *Sigh* I'm all nostalgic now : )
Interesting city names: a threadjacking I can get behind!
Fucking, Austria is the first one that comes to mind. Let's see...also Humptulips, Washington - that one just mystifies me.

Saya - I apolagize if I made it seem like I didn't believe you on that news footage stuff :) That was not my intention :) I simply meant to agree with you and to note that they didn't even bother including it on wikipedia because the accusations were so silly.
