Well then....

I guess we'll never see eye to eye since we place different amounts of importance on the personal freedoms given to us.

Although like I said, I'm all for vigilante justice, just like I'm all for crazy nutcase religious cults (ie southern baptists). They can do whatever they want as long as the government doesn't condone it.

I'm pretty sure flag burning is a hell of a lot more popular in Islamic states.



Sure, how is banning it here going to prevent that?

It makes no difference. Banning it under US law will do nothing but strip of us of our freedom of speech rights, the most important right we have.

It's not possable to strip all of our freedom of speech rights by makeing flag burning illegal, that makes no sense to me. The only thing it strips you of is the right to burn U.S. flags.

Don't confuse my team with the Government, I'm talking about people that put on uniforms to defend YOU! It seems you just comprehend what you want and spew anti-government statements as fast as you can don't you, you are eager to spread your' beliefs, go ahead and pick apart/twist what I say and use it for your' own purpose,what you say doesn't matter and nobody cares.

In the end boys still have a penis and girls still have a vagina.


;)


The people in uniforms are NOT defending me, they're off on some vague imperialist mission that does not benefit me in the slightest. Get back to me when the military is actually doing something worth any respect.

Well our right to freedom of speech is limited in one way. What's to say they will not start thinking of other ways? Next thing you know we will not be allowed to dissent wit the president during war times. Then we wont be alloed to dissent wit hteh president ever. Then we wont allowed to dissent PERIOD.

I'm libertarian, I'm against this on principle.

you may disagree, but that's my point of view - removing our "right" to burn flags is another step in the direction of fascism and jingoism, obviously not good for a supposedly "democratic" society.

ON to the topic of your' personal life based off of what you just said -Attention anyone who believes this guy is there friend, he only respects you when you do things that benefit him, don't bother him until you can do something for him-

Re-read your statement.....it really makes no sense.....'you are fighting for americans, not a symbol'.....very next sentence....'the flag represents liberty gained by revolution against oppressive government'....Question - If the flag 'represents' something, wouldn't that make it a symbol?


Now go sit on your avatar!



yes, you moron, that does make it a symbol. that's what flags are, and that's all that they are. it is ONLY a symbol. symbols are not what anyone with half a brain fights for. what part of that confuses you?

He didn't say all. But it is a step in the direction of restricting the right to peacefully protest. Keep in mind you have the right to peacefully protest and burn any flag you wish, including Iraqi flags. But then again you know how this makes most people look anyway.

We also have mouths and assholes, what's your point? Are you against all forms of non-reproductive sex?

Ugh, don't start with the psychoanalysis, it's even more annoying than your subtle physical threats. While I'm sure the thuggish "where do you live" posturing works when you're roughing up gays, it's not quite as effective on a message board.
Anyway, I'm done for tonight, I can only take so many bigoted mouth-breathing almost-comical "patriots" before I start to get sleepy.

I can see why you wouldnt want to see a US flag burned. But dont forget that you fight for the freedom of all Americans. Not just the ones you like or the ones you agree with. It also saddens me that you currently agree on the gay issue with the very people we are fighting against in the middle east. And dont forget that a good number of men and women who are in the armed forces, who fight along side you, are gay and serve their country.

Wow, what an original set of personal convictions. I can tell you've worked hard at expanding your own insight on life, you can definitely view things from multiple perspectives.

I'm glad the constitution is less important than ridiculous bigoted/pseudochristian principles.



Just ask most of the tools at Fox News, they'll be sure to tell you that (with a side of "Be afraid of terrorists, let the government do whatever they want to "protect" you!").
