Hrm...I don't think there's been a topic on this, but...what do you think? Do you think it's okay? Or should it be illegal? I personally think it should be illegal. I mean, I know that this country is about free speech and whatnot, but by desecrating our flag, it's saying you don't accept our laws and whatnot; therefore, shouldn't that be illegal? Hmm what do you guys think?

QUOTE(ryfitaDF @ Jul 14 2004, 6:33 PM) have you known anarchists to make any sense ever? i know if you wanna change the government you have a better chance inside of it. like in SLC punk. That's why they're not in favor with people. If they would try to make sense of the situation, instead of making it worse, then they'd be more popular. QUOTE i try to do that. i've never been really as childish as to, say, burn a flag or cross or bible over a simple disagreement. i do talk things out. the only tiem i would set fire to somthing would be if i were acting out of rage. that only happens after a while, though. alot of flag burners just do it automaticly. That's good for you! I see why people would burn the flag though, perhaps it doesn't stand for freedom any more in their eyes. However, they should still respect others who do revere the flag; it's common sense. |
