Two things children these days rarely exhibit - silence or respect.
Thankfully she was on a "work paid" trip to Arlington for Living Independently Forever, Inc. and they placed Stone and her co-worker on unpaid leave pending an internal investigation.
Hopefully they will be fired.
I'd not ever serve this nation of human refuse again, frankly I'm ashamed that I once did! Her actions pair well with the majority that just re-elected the absolute worst scum-bag possible, to be their "ahh" leader!
I don't want her apologies, nor those of any of the other millions of cretins that make up the national democratic socialist party. Her actions were all the honesty that you'll ever recieve...

Then maybe you could help her get an FFL!
I'm not sure how posing for that picture and then making the statement that "OBVIOUSLY we meant NO disrespect" are supposed to go together.
Parents of yesteryear hoped their children would exhibit some sort of decorum in public and private moments.
The children of said parents apparently didn't get the lesson, nor did many of them even try to pass it on to their offspring.
I'm sure she'll scream that it was meant to be a private photo and sue her employer. I hope to hell they have a decent lawyer that will chop her suit into finely diced pieces of trash. Which would go nicely with her behavior.

I don't think I'd want to help a person like her.
Be more than happy to help a "gun guy" who thinks he can be a better dealer than what is currently available in his zip code. But that's a very different kind of person.

Translation: I shouldn't get fired over something like this.
She was obviously never taught or she didn't care to learn why this kind of "humor" isn't acceptable. That is why she thought nothing of doing it while on a work paid trip to Arlington. That is why she also thought nothing of sharing the picture and putting it on facebook.
She probably doesn't understand or believe she did anything wrong. And in her mind she probably doesn't comprehend her actions were disrespectful or she simply doesn't care. In either case she is now simply trying to save her job and is saying the things "she believes" will "fix things" because she really obviously doesn't understand or care about why people are offended.
And as someone previously mentioned, she is just one of a nation of millions who were raised so poorly that they don't even understand basic concepts of what is and isn't acceptable in polite society. I almost regret "knowing better", it is now almost a burden.

I made the mistake of following that link and, just to go the extra mile, read some of the comments to the article at the bottom of the page.

The fact she was on a work paid trip makes me feel a little bit better. I can't imagine going there on purpose to do something stupid.

Doesn't really matter how old someone is to be a douche in public.
As far as this one **** her. :mad:

So.. she gets fired. Then she has a hard time finding a job because no one wants to hire her because of her public image. Then she draws unemployment, and lives off of welfare for a unknown amount of time.
No win situation.

If she was fired for cause how would she get unemployment? Unemployment is for people who were laid off without cause...IE business laying people off or going out of business.

Not completely true. She gets fired and MAYBE a couple other people figure it out and learn from her example. The only thing that could be worse is for her to get away with it and others learn THAT example.
Additionally unemployment is HALF of your former income and if she owns a home she won't be qualifying for anything like welfare.

If i was on a Company paid trip regardless of where we were at, i would dare not put a middle finger in any picture. That is just risky.
Yes, the comments are largely self explanatory...From the link^^^

I don't see what is so wrong with that comment. She's right.

I was taught to never hit a woman, but I would have no qualms about giving her an asswhooping for that. Her parents obviously never gave her one, she is in serious need of one.

"Whoa whoa whoa... wait," she wrote on Oct. 20, according to Gawker. "This is just us, being the douchebags that we are, challenging authority in general. Much like the pic posted the night before, of me smoking right next to a no smoking sign. OBVIOUSLY we meant NO disrespect to people that serve or have served our country."
There are no words.

Not because it's right or wrong, but because it's "risky." Really?

Risky to lose a job? Risky to get a lot of public outcry? Are we playing with words here or something? I'd imagine the girl commenting wouldn't be picked apart based on choice of words.
She said it quite simply: Don't put middle fingers in any picture of a business payed trip, because it is too much of a risk. That means any instance of a middle finger, whether it is flipping off a bad driver or flipping off the Arlington sign.. Just don't do it.

My point - it's not about her convictions/1st Amendment/free speech, it's about her doing something that she considers "too risky." That's all.
Maybe I'm just pissed due to the "need" for the sign in general. Much like the "keep your nasty feet out" of the WWII Memorial reflecting pool signs.
F'ing tourists :D

We don't always agree on a great many things. But every now and then we have an understanding of things that is so similar it is scary. Sadly we seem to be an incredible minority.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Tar and Feathering
if she was not caught she would be laughing about it and telling a much dif story to her friends I am sure !!!
to bad she could not get some kinda criminal action from stupid like this so it stays with her
maybe someone should visit her families grave sites take some pics of them pissing on it flipping it off and just say we were just being stupid no offense was meant !!! problem is she would most likely find it funny ! chances are she has no respect of anyone but her self !!!!
hope her mommy is proud of her ! living at home and doing this kinda stuff !!! wonder why so many think we are doomed !
look on the bright side sure the left will pick her up get her into politics and she will be a future leader !!!
I wish I was there and saw this i would have Pimp slapped her .

Good. In this economy jobs should go to people who know how to conduct themselves on paid business trips to locations such as Arlington.
It is not a place where you go and act like a "douchebag", save such conduct for your visit to Mardi Gras.

Her actions, regardless of how disrespectful and reprehensible so many of us may find them, are "free speech."
And, as she is learning, exercising your right to free speech and expression has consequences. The BOR protects your right to express your views freely. It does not, as so many seem to believe, provide blanket immunity from any reaction your views may provoke.

when she said things like smoking in front of a no smoking sign ? that in many places is against the law ?
she seems to have no regard for authority or laws or rules
that's not free speech
also free speech is not something that should over ride others rights ! by doing stupid things or breaking the law
their is a line that actions take you over your free speech
and sounds like she was fine with breaking laws to do her stupid pics !

I was referencing her behavior in the specific incident cited in the OP.
Acts which are illegal are just that and should be treated as such.
Sounds like she got what she deserved.
