Given all the hulla ba loo about Flag burning.You'd think Americans were very respectful of their flag,but. They aren't! Except for members of the military most Americans know little about how to properly respect the flag.
They display it backwards,they use it for a scarf, they fly it when its damaged.They do not know what the diferent parts are called or what they stand for.
Yet we have people running around trying to amend the Constitution to make burning it a crime .It makes no sense.

Yeah its to bad that some people have no respect for "Old Glory."..........I am undecided on the amendment though.......

Excuse me...The subject is "Americans & The Flag", not "The British & The Fag". :2razz:
 
Watch yourself cnredd..."fag" means cigarette "over the pond"...

As to the flag burning amendment, I do not think it should be illegal to burn the flag. It is an important part of free speech. That said, if anyone burned the flag in front of me, I'd do my best to put him in the hospital. I'd take my felony assault proudly. But it should be legal for him to do it.

The British & the fag was still a good joke though...

So you think that it shouldn't be changed, yet you'd fight someone for doing it? That's a bit stupid.
 
I don't think it should be illegal. I think they should have every right to do it, and so it's their choice.

However, I love my country, and I love the symbols that the flag stands for. And I would fight someone for burning my flag (well, obviously not if they're doing it for ceremonial purposes. I'm talking about "I hate America" flag burning). And you know what? I would go to jail for fighting them. That's how it should be. They should have every right to burn that flag, and I firmly believe it. But I still don't think I could stop myself from beating the **** out of the little ass that lit my flag on fire.

It should be legal. I should go to jail for hurting them. I still think I would end up hurting them.

Just like it should be legal for Nazis to hold a parade in the streets. Doesn't mean I'm not going to **** with them when they do it. I hate Nazis. I hate people that burn the flag. I won't stand for it. But my country should.

I didn't think I had to explain it....

I know "fag" is a reference to a cigarette in Englang...But I was ASSUMING that you knew that "fag" is a derogatory reference to a homosexual in America...

See?...It's even funnier now, ain't it? :2razz:

OK...I will pat myself on the back ONE TIME...until tomorrow;)

For my two all-time posts...Keep in mind that I am a moderate conservative...

#1)Nice logic...My turn to try it...

Using only your genius analysis, I will now prove that
because my dad was an alcoholic, Hillary Clinton is a man...


My dad used to drink.
My dad would beat the dickens out of me.
Charles Dickens wrote "David Copperfield"
David Copperfield is a magician that makes people disappear.
The Bermuda Triangle makes people disappear.
People put their business addresses in Bermuda to save taxes.
Taxes are one of the facts of life.
"The Facts of Life" starred George Clooney.
George Clooney is a man with short hair.
Hillary Clinton has short hair.

Conclusion:Hillary Clinton is a man.
