So according to this site over four hundred people showed for the anti-scientologist rally in Portland today. Did anyone see anything? Actually go? Does anyone care?

edit: Okay, there's no way there was four hundred people there. One fifty is still more then I was expecting to hear though.

	If that's the CW affiliate, the story had a pro-Co$ slant. The Fox affiliate's story was better. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I have to assume if there were 400 (more than anywhere else? Is Portland really that harmed by scientology?) some pictures would surface pretty quick. (Reply to this)

	I want to stop seeing this shit all over my friends list. Seriously. Yeah, it's a weird religion. But what are you trying to accomplish? It's not like you can relaly destroy the Church of Scientology. The whole thing is just dumb, imho. If Anon wanted to make impact they should all register to vote. :/ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	...I'm just curious about a protest that happened in Portland. I don't really have any particular feelings one way or another. Huzzah if they're demolished, so be it if not. Really, I'm not the second person in this case. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think that protesting against a church is almost always appropriate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	well, there's a lot of debate as to whether scientology is, in fact, a religion, as opposed to a business (or some would say a cult). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While I'm pretty apathetic toward this whole debauchle, I want to point out that in Germany Scientology is outlawed as a cult, not a religion. It has certain aspects of religion (I mean, really, that's quite a fine line there between cult and religion) but, due to its money-grubbing it's been labeled as cultish.

	The numbers I've seen consistently quoted are between 150-200. There are a few places that have photos up, such as here and here, and there are some forums posting a few shots at a time. I think it's pretty great. e: I can close tags good! Edited at 2008-02-11 05:29 am UTC (Reply to this)

	if I Were you I wouldn't be posting...just in case, you know. I won't be surprised if you disappear all of a sudden. Or the worst outcome of them all -- Tom Cruise might show up to your house and jump on your couches (Reply to this)

	I think most people who know much about Scientology are aware that it's bad. Therefore I can't help feeling that someone who protests something that's so easy to protest is just trying to make him/herself look good. Religious persecution of a dangerous cult is still religious persecution. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Was anyone protesting the things that actually mattered? Like the entire South Park thing? (Reply to this)
