Heck, I'll go so far as to bet that there's a certain amount of overlap of the "first amendment rights" squawkers and those who were calling for a boycott of the Dixie Chicks because of their Bush comments...

the same people squawking over her 'first amendment right' to free speech (disregarding that pesky 'government shall not' portion) are also the same people advocating 'right to work'. hate to tell them, but they can't have it both ways. the theatre has the right to hire and fire whom they wish; that's the entire point…
Seems to me that everyone here elected to exercise their rights. The woman chose to be in a commercial and the theater chose to let her go. Not sure what the heck first amendment rights has to do with her being booted from a play. The right to free speech does not guarantee the right to no consequences.
You sure her name wasn't Agnes? And that Jane Fonda didn't show up to investigate?
They're leaving her on her own? Sigh, of course...
At least the entire town isn't full of dicks?
That car is awesome looking. I came across this ebay ad so far for a photo, but it has a bunch of info regarding that specific vehicle. If the ad is correct its a 68 Generation Gap Hurst/Javelin.
I'd never seen this Butchered Javelin until today, but holy hell! The already-badass muscle car gets a shot of pure testosterone!
Thank you, I came here to say this. It's like Google doesn't even exist sometimes!
I'm really rather mortified by the way some people are responding to this. Completely verifies what Caitlin from Ask a Mortician talks about. We are really bad at death and mourning. Really bad.
why is this family's grief any more important than anyone else's grief? do we all put up mementos of our loved ones? i think that there are better ways to memorialize someone without being narcissistic about it.
I've also seen mouldering flowers, melted, blurred photographs and moldy stuffed animals tied to poles and wondered why they remained long enough to deteriorate to that point. It makes the tribute so much more depressing when its gone to seed.
St. Elmo's fire isn't a ball lightning. It's an effect where during thunderstorms at sea high and pointy objects on a ship (sails during most of out seafaring history) start glowing, the correct term would be creating luminous plasma by coronal discharge. But that is irrelevant, ball lightning isn't St. Elmo's fire.
Nanosoil? I think the scientific name is dust.
I might be able to understand where she's coming from in some cases, depending on what the memorial looked like. Someone was hit on a crosswalk near my house a few years back and a bunch of memorial stuff was put on the traffic pole on the meridian. Which was fine, except that no one wanted to take it down and for…
Isn't it a bit morbid to celebrate the exact spot where someone died? Why is that healing in any way?
I can understand it, although I wouldn't have done the same thing.
Hmmm, yeah, but taking over traffic signs and street "furniture" to create memorials is, in my view, not cool. Not safe, not visually pleasing, and even a little invasive. Yes, tragedies happen all the time around us, and, yes, people are entitled to mourn as they feels appropriate. But there are some unspoken limits…
I was bad at keeping tabs on people when I was younger. There are a ton of people who I'd love to see again but alas I don't remember their last names! I wish there was search engine I could just describe people to... "Jill... with straight blond hair, kinda haggard looking, and she use to dress really slutty." and it…
I think it's just a myth or an urban legend at this point, lol.
