Quoting: euc I'm all for freedom to express yourself but there's certain lines you just simply do not cross. I know I'll get a lot of hatred for the above mentioned opinion but that's my belief.. Do it to the president, your neighbor, your dog, your mom I don't care.... But it to a woman/man that made the ultimate sacrifice for you... Who made that sacrifice and now is "unknown" ... That is simply crossing a line. She is extremely lucky she made it out of that cemetery in one piece.. Just YouTube tomb of the unknown and look for clips of the crowd getting rowdy and the sentry on duty quickly snaps to and deals with them +100! |

Hope she gets fired but then again it means my tax dollars will go to her 2 years of unemployment benefits.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25652452 Canada 11/21/2012 05:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" - with his mouth.

Anodyne339 User ID: 26867619 United States 11/21/2012 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like how one woman wrote, "Free speech doesn't mean free of consequences..." 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. No, your understanding of the law is mistaken. The First Amendment applies primarily to the government not being able to pass laws restricting freedom of speech. The above quote that "Free speech doesn't mean free of consequences..." is CORRECT. She is free to say and express whatever she wants. And everyone else is free to voice their opinion of it and decide not to associate with her or employ her. The government does NOT have to defend her from the consequences her speech brings from others. The others have just as much right to employ THEIR freedom of speech and freedom of association. If her employer feels that her speech/actions were detrimental to the organization, yes, they CAN fire her. ESPECIALLY since Lindsey Stone was effectively ON THE CLOCK when she did it, not on her own time. That trip was part of her job, paid for by the organization, and she was there with 40 of the organization's clients and her coworkers. She DOES NOT have the right to act like an idiot while representing her employer. Look up Korb v. Raytheon. |

Anodyne339 User ID: 26867619 United States 11/21/2012 08:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Should she lose her job? Was she disrespectful? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21682593 As she behaved this way while representing her employer, on an employer-paid trip with clients - yes, she should lose her job. Yes - what she did was stupid and offensive. Frankly, it isn't any of my business - it's none of your business - it's NOBODY's business. Problem is, that implies that HER freedom of speech is greater than OUR freedom of speech. She's free to say what she wants; others are free to be offended, say what they think about her actions, and shun her if they choose. See? It applies to all of us, not just her. |

That's why you were in Afghanistan. Look up Tim Osman. |
