              Fuck that. The lesson isn’t being learned.

              If you are so fortunate as to exceed the median life expectancy, it is time for you to step aside and leave the important decisions to those who still have a future.

              If you don’t want your life to be a political issue, don’t go into politics.

                That is the dumbest logic ever. Everyone has a family that should be able to mourn that has absolutely nothing to do with their career choices. No one related to anyone ever has a choice about what career people chose. A funeral is not only about the person. It’s about the family and friends around them.

                You are stupid. Stop trying to justify it and sound smart. You don’t. You sound selfish and short sighted and not worth listening to about anything political or otherwise because you are too inept to realize the consequences in a grander scale.

                    I’m not crying. I’m telling you that you are dumb. Don’t create more humans in your form.

                    Way to completely miss the point and thus proving exactly what I started with. You are stupid.

        Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.

          “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company”

          LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”

          Haunt? Only in your egotistical dreams, bud. You’d be doing the guy a favor not working for you.

          I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.

          Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.

          I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.

            She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.

            Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.

      He’s not out of line. Many of these politician people don’t respect us in life so we absolutely don’t ever have to respect them in death.

        Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I’m personally fine with it as long as they’re not actively heckling funeral goers.
