Today, I was excited to get my first writing assignment since starting law school. I found out that I have to write a paper defending free speech. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to defend the Westboro Baptist Church and if I weren't a former Marine. FML

Yeah, part of being a lawyer is finding ways to defend people who are the scum of the earth. That's why they make the big bucks

NO SUCH THING as a FORMER MARINE

I have always been told their is no such thing as a former marine!

If you only support free speech when you agree with what is being said then you don't support free speech. but in saying that, the WBC = bunch of retards. (free speech)

If you want to be a lawyer you have to defend some pretty shitty people a lot of the time.

I don't see the problem? You don't like free speech? These retards have every right to spout their bullshit, the good part is that so do you, and you're aspiring to get paid for that shit.

I'm baptist (I do not consider that church a church it's more like a hate group who missed some of the most important parts of the Bible. They are by no means acting like Christians should! And they are not even part of an organization we are southern baptist convention and everyone has pretty much disowned them because of their horrible actions. They give baptist and Christians a bad name!) anyway all that to say I'm sorry you have to write a about defending them. I would hate it! I did agree with everything they do but ESP the things against the military (I come from a family with lots of military members) the deserve the utmost respect! Not the crap that place pulls!! Good luck to you!

Sorry Devil. I protested these scumbags before. Just remember: I don't agree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

You could always take the Jonathan Swift approach and satire the **** out of it...

Easy day Marine! This quote will help "I will not always agree with what you have to say but, I will defend, to the death, your right to say if." You, Marine, have already lived this!

Just because you have to defend free speech, doesn't mean you specifically have to defend those dumbasses, unless that's specifically written in the requirements.
