Default Burn the flag.

Which flag? Any flag, just burn them!

Ever see Monty Python's In Pursuit of the Holy Grail? There's that one cameo that seems appropro: Burrrrrrrrrrrn her!, and the hoi polloi were set straight about their misperceptions.

I speculate that this thread my become quite inflamatory, and I urge those having a minimum of tolerance respecting the opposing point of view should just turn around and walk out.



That'll just get thrown in my face and I'll be accused of being intolerant of intolerant ideas. I'm pretty certain this will become a nasty stinkin' cesspool of vitriol, name calling, hate mail, death threats, honor-beatings and honor-beastiality.

"Enough with the trailer already, and just get to it."

Right. Then. What follows are my opinions, and I invite anybody to respond with theirs. I believe that everybody has a right to express personal sentiments. I qualify the foregoing with the following: action is not freedom of speech.

====================================

Welcome to Wonderland. Burning the American flag is a right, burning other flags is wrong. Kinda depends on who's side you're on....Amazing... the American flag doesn't matter...Hillary says the Confederate battle flag in S.C. does....I guess I'm not the Smartest Woman in the World to figure it out.

What makes you think that you have a right to post such an inflamatory thing? Not even burning your own cross is considered to be "free speech" in almost the entire world. And for some people the American flag is just as sacred as what the cross represents; and I'd hazard to say probably even more so.

Flag-burning could become crime
By John Pienaar
Chief political correspondent for BBC Radio Five Live

Police chiefs are urging the government to make flag-burning a new criminal offence, as part of a drive to crack down on Islamic extremists and others preaching violence and religious hate, the BBC has learned.

The proposals also include action to ban demonstrators from covering their faces to avoid police scrutiny, and tougher powers to arrest demonstrators seeking to inflame tensions.
If they [the public] start to see images of people who seem to be 'getting away with it', that [the tolerance of people] starts to erode - Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur
[Excertped: BBC.co.uk]



Burning the American flag displays just how much the retarded, inbred, horse patty-for-brains moron liberals hate America and everything she stands for. Flag burners, by virtue of their crack whore gypsy mother having dropped them onto their hollow skull at least seven times into a nearby, cum crusted hospital dumpster, are the most pseudo-intellectually dishonest, willfully ignorant, dumb****led and confused gitty retarded excuse for an overripe rape baby abortion ever to sully the lands of this great planet.

I pwntheir asses so hard, that they're being auctioned on eBay as we speak. As a result, their mothers, who without doubt are big hairy-toed Somoan men, having teeth so rotten and covered with slime they look like a pack of dominos, are suing me in a class action law-suit for taking away the target of her affection (i.e. the wart covered, hairy, baboon's asses of flag burners collectively as a class). Flag burners are the inspiration for the **** eating videos that the Germans watch. They are like David Hasselhoff, but lamer, and with even less talent. Their mother's love is as confusing, unwarrented, and unreasonable as the French people's love for Jerry Lewis. I'm not exagerating in the least here.

These people make me wish abortion could be enforeced retroactively. Their mothers douched the best, and non-retarded part of them out of their asses before the rest was scooped off of the deck of whatever US Navy ship on which they were conceived. One of the 600 possible candidates of each and every flag burner that could be their father, found that knock-kneed skank, and shot their demon seed into her "Buckwheat in a leglock" looking snatch. The doctors needed two hours, a weedwacker, a map, and a 7 cans of WD-40 to pry you out of your mom's massive penile parking garage. It must have smelled so bad in the delivery room, the stench could have knocked a buzzard off of a ****wagon; something which would serve to do nothing more than prevent another wild animal from raping your mother for the 14th time.

Stick your finger up your ass, plug your nose, and blow really hard, and perhaps that pathetic pubic hair that you call your fetid penis will become long enough to be seen without the Hubbel telescope peering into an electron microscope.

What’s that you say? I shouldn’t use those insulting terms? I’m sorry, but you’re infringing on my First Amendment right to free speech. If we are allowed to say, write or do anything we want under the First Amendment, why do we have slander and libel laws? Is it because these laws are only intended to protect liberal beliefs from those who seek to expose them for the inanities they are? No, these laws were put into place to prevent people from abusing their rights.

Also, why does the First Amendment apply to flag burning, but not to public prayer? Is it because religious speech inspires hatred? And flag burning inspires what? Love, peace and grooviness?

I seen a cartoon that insinuated the American flag is a sacred cow. The American flag is an emblem of our freedom, our liberty, and our history. What possible reason could an American have for burning a sacred symbol of what our country stands for, other than out of pure hatred for that which it stands? If you hate this country so much, then get the f#*k out of my country! And don't let the door hit you on the backside.

Word of advice: careful where you choose to move, as you probably might not want to be publicly burning their flags; even France considers such an act of treason. :hmm:

Truly, I'm with Weatherman in this thread, if not life. I respect people like him.

Slander and libel laws protect individuals from being defamed unfairly. Nothing more.

You can pray in public. Go to any street corner and do it. Some people might look at you funny but you won't be arrested.

If somebody should burn a German flag before me I would only think "what a stupid *******", otherwise ignore him and walk away peacefully.

Maybe thats the good thing about being a German. We have come to realize that a flag is nothing but a piece of cloth. Certainly not worth spilling blood for it.

Imo flag burning should be allowed, at least if all necessary precautions about firefighting have been taking.

GS, I agree completely. As long as he buys his own he's free to do what he wants with it. It doesn't hurt me a bit.

Yeah, and it shouldn't be done in front of children because they might try to start a fire at home

I can think of better means of showing displeasure and rallying people to the cause than the burning of a nation's flag and alienating many people.

I don't understand how you do this and then turn around and want help and sympathy from the very nation that you showed your complete disrespect for. It's just plain stupid, and shows great stupidity in general.

The old saying goes - Don't bite the hand that feeds you....
