About as wrong as anything you'd see on any given Monty Python skit.
The Parrot Sketch, is it more wrong than that.
I always think of graves when I see red crosses, so probably not..it's probably a sign.Quote:

He is only expecting a reflex action from that.:whistlingQuote:

That's a general comment btw, not about that picture.
Difficult to see how it's any sort of protest, it's just having a dig at other people's tragedies.Quote:

I don't know the context myself, though I'd like to.Quote:

If it's serious and not some sort of sick joke then I fail to see how it can be anything other than trying to upset other people. No protest, no point being made, just trying to hurt people.Quote:

I don't believe in absolute freedom of speech either, which is why I qualified my statment as being "in the context of public demonstration protest" I should insert "peaceful" as well. I am deeply against the propagation of any form of this kind of message in school curricula, or official government policy. But out in the public realm is a whole different milieu that has to be measured with a different level of tolerance.
Of course there are consequences to carry around such drivel on a placard, but none that should involve sanction by any agents of Society. What section under the Criminal Code would you charge them under? If they were tenants, would you seek their eviction? Would you cancel their residency and deport them?
I see images of anti-abortion protesters with their photos of foetuses standing in front of legitimate clinics, and I take strong exception to their message; but I will not support any action that serves to silence their message as one day I may want to assert a position that may not always be welcomed or admired.
I did say it was a general comment, rather than one about the specific image.Quote:

That's the original blog it appeared on. I can't be arsed reading more than a few paragraphs as the guy seems like a cawk anyways. He heads his blog with "Home Of The Mainstream, Bone Of The Extreme". Good for him.
So, for those interested, fill your boots.
I couldn't be arsed reading any of that, mate.
