tears.

i'm picking up late on this issue...
but. i'm practically speechless. to further support my feelings on humanity from a previous entry...
i just...can't find the logic in these arguments that these protestors are claiming exist.
god is not striking down people in the military because they are defending a country that doesn't prohibit homosexuality.
this war is not over homosexuality. more often than not, these dead soliders were not gay. some of them may have even been on the same side as you protestors.
and last i checked, the head of our government was anti-gay rights. the monkey that runs our country has denounced gay marriages and added rights for homosexuals, several times.
so umm... right. where is this all coming from again?
i just can't see the lines that these people are somehow drawing. if god was as all-knowing and smart as you claim him to be, wouldn't it be more intelligent to uhh, smite the gays directly?
if you want to go protest against homosexuals, do it in front of a gay bar. because that is where they are.
i'm not encouraging this, mind you; i am totally for equalities for all sexual preferences and types. but if you want to pick a fight with someone's personal beliefs, do not take it out on someone who has absolutely NO affliation with the issue you have with a group of people that don't represent the whole. moreso, do not do it during a time of great grief for these people that have no connection to the issue.
these people just picked the worst place to hold these protests. whoever they were, these people died. more importantly, for some cause that they probably supported in some form. they were probably also supported by the people attending their funeral, because that's what friends and families do. whether or not that cause is right is not the argument (because i know i would personally say otherwise), but the argument is for the need for respect for these poor families and friends that are mourning the loss.
just...how dare you protestors disrupt this. how dare you. i hope that when you protestors die, someone storms your funeral and brings even more misery upon your friends and families, just as you are causing these poor people. you are disgusting, cruel, and just...appallingly awful.
jesus christ.
there is a fine line between freedom of speech and mindless harrassment, folks. there is no doubt in my mind that this one is crossing it.
minnesota is one of those fourteen states considering the "funeral-protest" bill. as unhelpful as it will probably be (i mean, come on, 300 feet away is the stupid parking lot), it had better damn well go through. it's one of the first steps to ridding this sheer, blatant stupidity from this planet.
my philosophy teacher brought it up today in class and i felt physically ill. in all honesty, i thought that i was going to vomit all over my desk.
that all turned into sadness, though. i felt my eyes well up with tears. i actually cried due to this display of uneducated thought.
it is my turn to weep for the sake of humanity, i suppose.
