Westboro Baptist Church Plans To Picket Leonard Nimoy's Funeral

Quote: respectfully disagree.
Free speech has its limits. The classic example is the "shouting 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater". It is my opinion they have completely overstepped the parameters of "Free Speech". What they do is dangerous, unnecessary, and quite frankly I wouldn't be sad if it gets them killed.

I spent 8 years in the Army "Defending your freedom" (or whatever bullshit term they're using these days, I enlisted to escape from my familial situation). Not one person I ever met would support these fuckwits.

I first want to say: Thank you for serving your country.

Second: You gave me a whole new prospective on this issue with WBB. I try to try to find the line when it comes to them. But back in the day my people (gays) did some things during the protests that are almost the same (women getting a pie thrown at her face) but I believe the parades and protesting back then were just and they weren't sitting at someone's funeral with pickets. Except for the few extremist back in the day of our protests it wasn't very violent (as I know of anyways.) there were a few people who went overboard and really gave the whole movement (AT THAT TIME) a bad image. So, what point I am trying to make is that, its so hard for me to determine what they should and shouldn't do. Do I think its right what they are doing? NO WAY! Its someone's dang funeral, let alone a figure that has inspired many people and created a wonderful legacy. I'm so confused on the topic so take my view as a grain of salt.
