No further explanation is needed.

Not in the case of protesting the funeral of a private person in such close proximity to a grieving family.  

and in a grief stricken rage kills one or more of these fucktards. Count one vote for "not guilty".

I am really surprised this hasn't happened yet, but give it time. Someone won't be able to contain their rage and is going to end up killing one of these fuckers and I won't shed a fucking tear for them.

I think a case like this is similar to the "yelling fire in a crowded movie house" example. Most have accepted that as a logical restriction of the First Amendment.  

Opinions vary.

That is the real issue, I agree protesting a private citizens funeral lacks taste

I'm going to laugh when you are summoned for jury duty

That's why people hate them, they are violating social decency that would lead people to believe that a funeral for a private person is a grieving event in someone's life and should not to be exploited as a platform to make a statement.

are not the issue, the issue is the first amendment.

They were still given permits to protest and picket lines, so their rights weren't violated. That people crossed the picket line is true for many protests, they chose to leave after 8 minutes...obviously it didn't really matter too much to them otherwise they would have stood there and fought for what they believe.

people were rational, logical and realistic. They had principles and personal ethics they lived by and special interest lazy asses who can’t make decent living without their stupid ideas and other stupid people blindly following them did not exist. Political Correctness did not exist people mostly told the truth.

It can't happen soon enough for me. You can't appreciate what a horrible transgression this is until you've buried a child.

modern leaders don't?   You really think that our forefathers were working for free solely for the good of man kind? They weren't imposinit's special interests on native Americans and eventually earning the term "white men speak with forked tongue"?  They weren't going against Britain in a mass coup in pursuit of own interests?    

Fungy is not the only one saying "truly stupid things" Don't forget about Pimples, he says shit every bit as stupid as Fungy.

Aside from that, I agree, and don't forget the "Founding Fathers" were also by and large slave owners. I doubt that black people long for the "good old days" Come to think of it, people with slanted eyes weren't held in high regard back then either.

chinks could be trusted. lol

That's the term used for those who'r truly interested in finding a church home.

I don't support fanatics but my idea of "finatic" differs from the next person. There are churches who permit homosexuals to become members and even excel to positions of leadership. Quite anti-biblical. Love the sinner;hate the sin. Never accept the sin. That is finaticism.

I even support the KKK's right to hold rallys, but suggest(publically)that their rallys typically result in some sort of violence.

Btw, one posters insistence of public decency has no legal standing that I know of. The police, can however, make a legal plunder by making a wrong snap judgment and trample someones civil rights

"Why do people hate them?" I believe they hate them because they show a lack of social decency.

Certainly not me white man. lol

which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."?

Above and beyond reiterating AF's obnoxiously narcissistic lack of understanding of history, I thought maybe you were going to mention that their prose was too lengthy for DA to properly appreciate.

cuz that word can be offensive to most

personal compassion. They see themselves as providing a prophetic role, much like warning the people of Sodom and Gomorrah before the Flood. However, they ignore the Golden Rule for Christians, Jews, and most other religions around the world: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'

You should have heard some of the shit I used to say to the last black GF I had, and the shit she used to say in return.

Considering how free I am with the racial epithets, I would be one hell of a hypocrite to get offended by something as lighthearted as ND's chink statement. I say much worse on a daily basis about just about every race I can think of. Chink, gook, heeb, spic, even nigger, it's all in the way it's said, and who it's said to that counts. Not to mention the intent behind the word.

Which is more offensive "I don't think Asian Americans are very trustworthy" from a stranger, said in a dead serious tone? Or "Chinks can't be trusted" by a friend in jest? I think you know which one offends me and which one doesn't
