*clears throat*

are you saying a man who died for freedom would like to see a man jailed for expressing his opinion?

well, if a man thought that then he didnt die for freedom. he died of a nationalistic overdose.



catholics arent perfect. dont act like they are.

No, I'm saying the exact opposite of that. I said that it shouldn't be a crime.

I'll say it again: the problem with detaining or fining flag burners is that people should see the people that are burning the flags.

It's usually an assortment of Islamist religious fanatics, hard-core communists, 60s hippie-radicals pretending they're still young, tenured university professors, black separatists, militant lesbians, illegal immigrants, and a few Columbia University students.

That's quite a group considering there are only a couple of documented flag burnings in the U.S. per year.

That's right, I forgot the suburban white teen. I also forgot the eco-fanatic (who may very well fit into several of the aforementioned categories) and the "anarchists," whose ideology seems to be based on burning things and vandalizing property that they don't own.

The best part about the angsty suburban white kid, is that they usually consider themselves anarchists/ "earth defenders" They may also consider themselves communists or revolutionaries, and are usually very pretentious individuals.

Is anyone else getting an intense desire to go and burn a flag?
