your intolerance of those who have beliefs different tham your own dishonors what that flag stands for more than the burner who also defiles it
or...now think on this good, now...or maybe I am just a human being who is more in touch with their self and their emotions.
Anger is very human. To deny that on some internet forum and act all superior is just stupid. We are still cavemen, biologically.
It may not be flag burning for you, but I can bet the farm YOU, like the rest of us, have your "triggers", and once pulled you can and will " go medieval on someone".
Maybe some perv with his phone taking an upskirt pic of your daughter
Maybe some pushy loudmouthed jerk in front of you at the checkout line
Who knows, but I DO KNOW, all of us have them.
Keep your "holier than me" attitude for church.
In front of a crowd, I can goad you into attacking me physically in less than 15 minutes. Don't deny your biology, and act all high and mighty. You are neither.
I KNOW if some crosses that line with me, then I AM, CAN, and WILL knock their dick in the dirt. And sleep just fine that night.
CONVERSELY, you will NEVER see me react to any drunk in any bar, no matter what they say or try. Too many years of Shore Patrol let me know how to deal with loud mouthed drunks. They are nothing.
Seeing the US flag being burned is my trigger, and in 15 minutes, I can find yours. We ALL have them.
