Would you be against people protesting a wbc member's funeral
« on: June 21, 2011, 08:26:48 PM »
Just thought about this, would you be angered or simply against people protesting a wbc member's funeral. The question is not if you would protest one but if you would be quite against people doing it. Personally I would, but I think i'm going to give this more thought.

the darker side of me loves the idea.  but in reality it would serve no other purpose than revenge and malice, and unfortunately those motivations generally tends to backfire

I'm actually surprised nobody's done it yet.
If one were to do it, it would have to be outrageous though. Like a gay Jesus "getting nailed", or something.

I would so do it!

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

It's not worth it, all it would accomplish would be to finally give them a legitimate complaint against the people/groups they attack.

I can't support protesting it because that would make me a hypocrite. However pissing on their grave and drawing a Darwin fish with your excriment on their headstone is something I do approve of.

I'm with the general consensus here. I wouldn't do it because it's not worth it and it would only add fuel to the fire.

What i would like to see is a protest of a WBC protest then a protest protesting that protest and the at least 3 more protests protestings those protests in order. Then we'd have a real like Charlie Kauffman movie.

It won't make me any better than they are. So, better to be at their funeral and surprise them with goodness then act on revenge.

This.  As much as part of me feels they "deserve it" and it would "make a point," the bigger point is that no matter what someone's beliefs, they and their loved ones deserve to be left alone and allowed to pay their respects in whatever manner they see fit at a funeral.  I think protesting or otherwise disrupting any funeral is in poor taste.
