I think the protesters would have done just fine handing out literature or ribbons or something like that without displaying offensive posters. <br /><br />Freedom of speech doesn't give anyone the right to be offensive. Folks confuse that too often. I am anti-war but does that give me the right to show you and your family posters of torn and charred bodies of bombing raids to get my point across? No it doesn't. I may want to reach you using shocking posters but freedom of speech doesn't give me the right to do that. What about the rights of folks who just want to enjoy a day with their family without viewing images of horror?<br /><br />I don't know, if you ask me it puts their cause in a bad light anyway. One immediately flinches from such a sight. What on earth would make you want to go up and discuss their cause with them when they are displaying such stuff? Not only that but it makes them come off as lunatic extremists.Tomhttp://www.curiousinkling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057437118478324468.post-18449690171630113882011-08-22T18:56:25.661-04:002011-08-22T18:56:25.661-04:00Thanks for taking the time to read and comment ano...Thanks for taking the time to read and comment anonymous. I agree, something should be done. Why is it okay to use those images in front of children who aren't legally aloud to even see an R rated movie. Perhaps we can get a petition going or something.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040882375218261683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057437118478324468.post-78663706803233689702011-08-22T16:44:57.178-04:002011-08-22T16:44:57.178-04:00My thoughts exactly!

I also am an adult and thought "Wow if I walked by this with a small child how and why should I have to explain this to my kid! This is a family event and this is not the place for this kind of protest. I understand the first amendant rights freedom of speech but there has be some kind of ordiance against the graphics of these billboards that they are using. Something has to be done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
