The gesture makes absolute sense to me. There was no respect to begin with. Verbal teaching has its use, it prepares the mind for voiding itself of its accumulations. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21926154 Actually. Yeah. Yeah it does. The government is literally obligated by law to DEFEND us from any person trying to impose a 'consequence' on us for expressing our views or opinions. Only if her 'speech' financially or physically hurt someone, was false, or was performed on private property where it was not allowed, could she be penalized in any way by anyone. As far as I understand how the law is supposed to work. It doesnt extend to your job. Maybe taking even a simple business law class would introduce you to the true meaning, because A LOT fo people on this website misconstrue freedom of speech.

Dude, I said it DOESNT extend (freedom of speech) to your job.. meaning, she CAN and SHOULD be fired for this. We were agreeing, maybe there was just some miscommunication? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20589235 United States 11/21/2012 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jane Fonda wannabe .... She has the same "Entitlement" mindset that many spoiled young people have, young adults who have been raised in a protected cocoon with everyone bending over backwards to ensure that they are never criticized or have few if any material wants. One's actions in life have consequences ... which is a totally FOREIGN concept to young spoiled adults who have never had to really sacrifice anything of any consequence for anything. Lindsay Stone is learning this lesson ... and hopefully she WILL BE SPANKED HARD by life for her actions. Her comments remind me of the many criminals I dealt with in an earlier period of my life: YES they said they were SORRY, and they genuinely meant it ... SORRY THEY GOT CAUGHT, NOT SORRY THEY DID THE ACT. Linsay Stone fits into that exact same mindset with her "explantion" ... since she is nothing but a self centered spoiled child who has a HUGE ENTITLEMENT mindset. |

Why should I respect someone for killing others JUST BECAUSE SHE/HE WAS TOLD TO DO SO? Why should I respect anyone who gets paid to kill someone else? And please don't give me any of that crap about "fighting for our/my freedom." If that were true then please explain why I am a slave more than ever????!!! Sorry, but I will not respect anyone who does not have enough intelligence to realize all these fuckin wars are all about MONEY. I have the deepest respect for those who dare stand up to TPTB and refuse to kill for hire - conscientious objectors/humanitarians. While others were wearing the poppy on their label in honor of "kill for hire", I wore my PEACE symbol on my lapel. beebee |

And you are the little bitch that is trying to convince us that it is wrong... how do you then claim you are justified? What makes you right and the others wrong? humanity is lost, you and the others prove that DAILY How is it right? I never said i was right, I said I wasn't a disrespectful fuckbag, barack.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6235765 United States 11/21/2012 10:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand the sentiment, I do. There is far and beyond too much governing going on, too many rules, too many PC libtards ruining this country.. That being said, this is NOT the place, no matter where your heart is, to make that statement. The tomb of the unknown soldier isnt just a fallen soldier, who died for his country, but it is a symbol of the sacrifice that MANY have made, whether you agree with why they were there or not. People just seem incapable of grasping that just because YOU feel like soldiers were sent for profit/NWO or whatever YOU feel like they were sent for, there are also people who feel they are sent to defend people like you. And THEY do it, and die doing so. Give them the fucking dignity they deserve for THAT. |

When Cape Cod-based nonprofit worker Lindsey Stone visited Arlington National Cemetery last month, she thought it would be funny to snap a picture of herself pretending to shout and flip off the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier -- next to a sign that read: "Silence and Respect." It didn't turn out so funny when she posted it on her Facebook page. First the photo went viral, then another Facebook page called "Fire Lindsey Stone" popped up, racking up more than 15,200+ likes in just a day. Her haters may get their wish. LIFE, the Cape Cod-based nonprofit where she works helping adults with learning disabilities, on Monday suspended her on unpaid leave "pending the results of an internal investigation.

However, she is just a byproduct of the idiocy of the 'if it feels good, do it' assholes that raised her, and a generation like her. Quoting: AmericanJedi Is what she did the worst thing ever perpetrated on veterans? Or are the lies that lead them to war? I ask, how many of you are feeding and clothing homeless vets? I donate time, money, and material support to vets. So, is her callous asinine disrespect any worse than America's apathy? My husband is a vet. I spend more time then I care to admit at the VA and the Vet's associated groups. You're not alone in that. Just curious.

Personally, I was offended when I saw the pic - but just because it offends me doesn't mean she should lose her job, etc. One of the great things about being an American is the freedom of expression. What is unacceptable to one is perfectly acceptable to another. I used to have my social networking public. I also used to blog very publicly about personal stuff. Not anymore. Somewhere over the past few years....all normal discourse has gone out the window. What about those breastfeeding photos on Facebook? You could tell there was a breast and a baby - but no nipple showing and Facebook still removed it saying it broke their standards. We have become a nation of whiners and people who will twist themselves in a pretzel so as to make sure no one is offended by anything. Where is the freedom in that????? |
