But where in the *beep* did our first amendment rights go? I just found out about this movie and I've been pissed off about the injunction ever since. As much as I wish I could say that I find this hard to believe I can't. This is so believable that it's disgusting. I can see this quickly becoming a slippery slope. If I want to convey my opinions on something and it isn't endangering people then I damn well can. Unfortunately though these filmmakers aren't allowed to exercise their rights, so what's the point in having them?

That's the Cult of Scientology for you. If you make fun of them, they'll sue you. Why? Because they want to brainwash more people and think you could hurt their already bad reputation.

Scientology's defintion of free speech is fascism

We should just have Scientology's right to sue away. I mean come on, it's a religion based of a science fiction story. These people are worse than Star Trek fanatics, except these ones don't live in their mom's basement and weigh 300 pounds. It's also a shame how the 1st and 2nd Amendments are being taken away in this country in the name of national security and progress. We're on the slippery slope towards fascism.
