	Thanks to some whiny Christians I can't park on the street anymore. Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

As some of you know I attend a rather large Mennonite Church called Willingdon with over 4000 members in the congregation.

Now, we have had a problem recently with whiny christians who can't walk 250 metres from church when they park. We have been allowed to park in the street so long as we do not block traffic or driveways.

Now, this policy has changed and any cars parked along the street will get towed since a few Christians parked their cars on people's driveways.

Anyone else experience problems with these so-called whiny Christians?

I've got quite a few run-ins with those shady christians. They seem to be almost everywhere.

Not a good analogy.

You are a christian Ben. and they arent generally subject to persecution in Canada. and this is about an issue like parking. '


How about "because of whiny mennonites, I cant drive full speed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania" That would be better - it would be posted (likely) by a non-Mennonite, it would have a hint of real anger behind the humor, and it would have the added benefit of blaming all menonites for actions of the Amish, IE - it would be totally ignorant.

Or better yet, "because of whiny menonites, my son got drafted" - something i suspect was a real issue in Pennsylania 35 years ago. Real anger, with life and death in the background...

Or - "because of whiny hearing impaired people, my company had to redo our website at considerable expense" or similar about physically challenged people.

I wont speak for the mods - I dont know who asked them to change the title, or why they did it - but I dont like self-conscious "anti-PC" reaction.

Parking on peoples driveways? Is that the same as parking to their property, to their yard? WTF is that?
That's rude. I'm pretty sure I'd let a good church going family use my driveway for an hour or few so they can go to church if there is no other way, but if people started parking without asking a permission and just random folks different cars.. I'd be beating those cars for sure. And then assault the car owners once they come knocking to me door. And then I beat my own car. And then some random bywalker. And then innocent dog.

One of the women who lives close to the church had a stroke, and emergency vehicles had difficulty getting into her yard because of the people parked in front of her driveway.

Rude people suck. If they drive convertibles, they should be VERY careful where they park, because drunk angry people with full bladders might be pissed off about someone parking in their driveway.

Cute thread Ben Kenobi. That will cost you 24 hours on the sideline.

When I edited the title of the other thread, you should have gotten the clue.

See you tomorrow, even though I usually need to be reminded to unban people.
