One is that times have changed from when we were not afraid of being labeled politically incorrect and we did not see cemeteries as places where we buried people then forgot about them while pretending that we stayed away out of respect.
Two was about people judging the motives of someone they don't know and pushing their morality on a situation they know nothing about. I can't begin to say what rojo thinks or feels but rather than criticize his choices in mods or locales I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt and offer insight into why one might not see a cemetery as a place to visit only to stare at the headstones.I apologize if I ruffled a few feelings on the subject. Knowing that the poster is a member of our military, I cannot believe he intended any disrespect.
It was mentioned that this supposed disrespect is a symptom of what is wrong with the U.S. today. My view leans more towards people being so afraid of offending someone that they do nothing and say nothing. Too many look for reasons to be offended.
KKROFFTNow occurs everywhere, simultaneously. But it doesn't have to be experienced the moment it happens. Every now that ever was is still exactly when it was, when it was now.
Then, in terms of perception, is nothing more than all the nows that are no longer now. Thus, the difference between now and then is when. --The Waystoppers Users' Manual
