But the US flag is so awesome though.

Your title conflates "Okay" with legally protected. Freedom of speech -- but just for speech that is "Okay" -- is totally empty.

I find the idea that our national symbol should be specially exempt from the freedom it represents to be both revolting and ironic. YMMV.

This is the most concise statement of the issue that I've seen.

Go buy three US flags , you can get em at Walmart for next to nothing.

First flag take to a black bar ~ r&b facility
Second flag you take to a white bar ~ biker hangout
Third flag goes to a gay bar

light up the flag and you prob get 3 different results.
beaten up
ignored
applauded

haha ... you think you get ignored at a biker hangout!? hahaha

i guess i should state that my 3 choices are not in any particular order. you decide which one fits where

i would think hurtful things could happen to you at a biker bar if you burnt a flag

If I burn a gay flag am I being a champion of freedom of speech and open dialouge?

.

You're perfectly free to speak out against free speech. Until you win...

I know...it's like a double standard. Them gays got it good except for the Aids thing and Rosie O'Donnel



Which it looks like we will be doing in 2010...across the board

I think this post is getting ready to be derailed.

I used to ride my bike up to the gas station and buy a pack of Pall Mall for my stepdad. I was 8 yrs old.
The year was 1976. That was an era that we will never see again.
If I had went up to the gas station and burnt the flag I would of been beaten up every day by my peers
after being released from police custody.


I dont think its okay to be homosexual
I dont think you should want to burn you flag
I dont think Barack Obama's policies are very good for this country
I dont hate Barack Obama because he is black
I dont hate Barack Obama
I dont

I've had a LOT of practise.

Check out the religion section if you want proof

Was gonna post something profound and witty, but as usual I ccouldnt come up with anything, so I will use my time to ask Balloon guy if he has a retail shop, cause I needs more balloons than I care to inflate myself.

"Yo Jay I'm at the R&B facility, shit is insane, get on down here!...Yeah...no I said facility. FA-CIL-ITY!....The fucking club, what do you think I mean?"

You're missing, perhaps, the fact the OP has a Ziggy cartoon as his sig.





I don't get it. Are these your beliefs? Regardless, the Ziggy cartoon tells me you're a simpleton. What's next? Family Fucking Circus? "Look, Mommy! PJ's wearing a dress!"

Not really, we used to but now we are in a warehouse.

PM me your retails and if I can't help you I can steer you right

so I was only half listening to mercury as he came in the room saying how he ****ed up and was tripping, never should of said that stuff. just trying to look big in front of the guys , blah blah blah.

Now I am in a five dollar a point dominoes game , working on my second house , and I got this guy in my ear ~ I dont have time for this

I send mercury to the kitchen to hook up a new bowl
