    It's a stupid hobby where she posts pictures of herself doing the opposite of what signs say in public places.

    Where's your attention whore pix?

    On work time? I wouldn't stand in the way if she got fired. What a moron.

  3. And . . . it's very possible she's gonna have a lot more time to spend on her "hobby".

    Yeah. I truly think she "meant no disrespect."

    She just didn't think it through.

    Everyone's a comedian these days. I'm as guilty as anyone. My Twitter and Facebook feeds are one one-liner after another. I even drew the wrath of Moddy (along with some others) for a quip on a Spam thread recently.

    So while I wouldn't do what she did, I get the impulse.

    You get the impluse? To do that? There?

    Good lord.

    You know exactly what I meant.

    I was very clear.

    If you have any impulse whatsoever to give the finger to the sign at Arlington, you are nothing but a douchebag, plain and simple. Recognize it and accept it. Anything else is merely excuse-making.

    But poin, she said she was being a douchebag. That makes it OK.

    To think one is funnier than one is.

    That impulse.

    I think people, in general, would be much happier if they cared only about their own lives, and not worry so much about lives of others. Why would someone take time out of their day to create a facebook page in an attempt to try to get this girl fired? That person sounds like he/she is just as much of a loser as the girl in the photograph.

    In a non-Marshall kind of way, get over it and move on. Life is too short to be worried about somebody else getting fired.

    Because everyone is outraged all the time, 24 hours a day.

    There seems to be an epidemic of moral superiority sweeping the country, aided in its spread by the Internet and social networking.

    Reminds me of the rush to re-post the racist Tweets of children in order to cost them college acceptances.

    I think people, in general, would be much happier if they didn't have to deal with dicks all the time.
