Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I want to see the posters. Not that seeing the posters would somehow make me think the scientologists are right to use Green Day to promote themselves, I'm just curious. It's never cool to take somebody's image or their work and use it to promote yourself without their consent. I can't blame Green Day for not wanting to be tied to that shit. Some friends of my family's live next door to some scientologists and they've got some crazy stories about them.Exactly. It's illegal to take somebody's image or their work and use it to promote yourself without their consent. That's why I'm really interested to see what all happens in the near future.
chatnoir Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I think a state has an obligation to defend secular freedom, first and foremost. Freedom of religion should always be secondary to freedom from it.We tolerate religion so god damn much here they can control us.The freedom of religion is also (unfortunately in my opinion) of very high value in the German constitution. But the courts of law don't subsume Scientology as a religion as far as I remember, because of the economical priorities of the organization. That's probably the difference. But I'm not sure, I'm not up to date with this.
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Exactly. It's illegal to take somebody's image or their work and use it to promote yourself without their consent. That's why I'm really interested to see what all happens in the near future.Exactly thats why I would be open to a lawsuit in this matter whether initiated by the record label or by Green Day itself
Bohemian+Scandal Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 T_TThis is really stupid. I'm sure the posters won't last long. The CoS will have already been bombarded with complaints I'm sure and GD has probably already taken some sort of action. I just hope someone can go out to LA and find a poster before then. I'm very curious to see what it looks like.
Kryssi. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Look, there is no images of the posters at this moment in time. They would've been posted almost straight after John posted them, chill
Reality Is Due Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 WHAT? Ugh. I hate Scientology. I hope and I'm sure the guys will take some sort of action for using their image and stuff.
Wolfdemon Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 WTF? They should sue since that's being used WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION! I know I would! I'd be fucking outraged!
Take me to Christie Road Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Is that even legal? Scientology is one fucked up "religion". Not that the others are so great...
Peace and Rainbows Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Is that even legal? Scientology is one fucked up "religion". Not that the others are so great...agreed. I don't know what to comment on this. it is just out of this world weird
Fink Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Is that even legal? Scientology is one fucked up "religion". Not that the others are so great...I was about to say... all religion is rather fucked up.
Eldoon Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I don't know if David Campbell is Beck's father, but from what I understand, Beck is a Scientologist. Which disappointed because I like Beck.Beck was technically born into Scientology, so there's that if it makes you feel any better. =P
Mar Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Beck was technically born into Scientology, so there's that if it makes you feel any better. =P I use this rationale to justify my love for Jason Dohring (Logan from Veronica Mars)!
Eirik Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Exactly thats why I would be open to a lawsuit in this matter whether initiated by the record label or by Green Day itselfWould there really be a difference?Oh, and gotta love the Scientology ads on this page.

Clockwise Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 From John Roecker's Facebook:"I was talking to Billie about it last night- David Campell ( Beck's dad) is using Green Day's name to lure people into the cult- he said he worked exclusively with them- which is a lie. He did the strings for Time of your life- a song which Billie wrote and arranged. I have seen Billie in the studio- David your just a fucking button pusher that is all."
Masked Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Besides that Scientology is bull and everyone hates it. What is it? I read and read and I still don't get it. I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Luci_Minority Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I want to live in LA area for this!! I hate scientology :down:
Kryssi. Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I would definitely pay for the flight to get to L.A just for the protest, it would be hilarious, despite how crazy those fuckers are.
Spaztic Plastic Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I would definitely pay for the flight to get to L.A just for the protest, it would be hilarious, despite how crazy those fuckers are.Same here *nods* Scientology is just one huge nightmare.
