Most of these kids weren't even alive or were crapping their pants as babies when this happened but that's besides the point here and the freedom of speech gives them the right to form and voice their opinions but not the right to be complete assholes to people who lost loved ones and family. It's not about politics or policy and yes I am also fully aware of the measures the US took after the fact and the loss of life it also caused. I can go on and on but ultimately there is no right answer in my opinion but what your gut and soul says.
Innocent loss of life is a horrible thing, no matter what the situations may be but pissing over a memorial of the dead is a line of disrespect I cannot stand. The act shown here is disgusting. Let the living morn the dead and please shut the fuck up during that moment of silence. The dead didn't kill innocent people.
The worst part of this is that people like this do this for themselves and not to spread actual knowledge and reality. Selfish hypocrisy.
That's what it comes down to for me. Yes, it'd be nice if everyone was thoughtful and considerate of others, but if someone wants to be an asshole, then so long as they're not infringing on the rights of others, by all means. Let people punish you socially for your actions, but nothing more.
That's why I really dislike the whole idea of narcing on someone's behavior to their employer to get them fired. It's skeezy, like a grownup version of tattling to teacher because Jimmy said 'crap' during recess, and you're ruining someone's livelihood. Plus it gives employers a huge amount of de facto power over their employees if people have to curtail their personal life and opinions so they don't potentially upset their boss. That's ridiculous.
My point being, people sure do enjoy being the biggest problem for other people, huh?

And I've lived in the heart of the South, the heart of limousine liberals, and now the working class enclave of NJ. You'll survive. Probably. Though I don't talk about my beliefs mostly because I don't care what the people I'm around have to say about them, so I fly under the radar.
