Man, your logic is completely wack.....

You might want to crack open the dictionary and learn the meanings to the words you use before completely misusing them. The definition isnt even close....

Me burning a flag doesnt give any enemy my support.....

Wonderfull thing about the 1st ammendment, gives the right to protest. If during that protest, I burn an American flag in a symbolic gesture. I am partaking in my freedoms. How exactilly do you judge who "Deserves to live here" and who dosent? Do they just need to agree with you?

The 1st Ammendment gives you a right to protest, it DOES NOT give you carte blanche to do anything you want under the guise of a "symbolic gesture."   What is symbolic about an American Citizen burning an American flag?   The symbolism that I see is that this person no longer wishes to be associated with the country and is burning his/her allegiances.  

Based on this, it is perceived that the "burner" no longer wishes to remain part of that country and therefore is definately NOT deserving of living here.

The burning of a country's flag by its own citizens is for radical, left-wing retards who can't think of any other creative way to demonstrate their point of view and are hoping for their 15 seconds in the spotlight.    Too many people have died for that flag to allow it to be burned at a whim.

That would be me burning an Amreican flag because I dislike the proposed ammendment and you saying because I burned the flag I support the ammendment....

Hades, show me where I used a word wrong...

"The crime of maliciously, voluntarily, and willfully setting fire to the building, buildings, or other property of another or of burning one's own property for an improper purpose, EX as in to collect insurance."

Burning a flag for protest is improper purpose...

Tomato tomoto, your definition for improper purpose is different from mine, but i DID NOT use a word in any wrong context.

Yeah, alot of people died for freedom, not a peice of cloth.

You forgot to finish reading the definition where it gives the example of what an improper use is.

Rico. The Veterans that died didnt die for the flag, they died for the freedom that the flag represents.

THAT "Piece of cloth" represents our history smart ass.

I have lost all respect for you and anyone that wants to/has burned OUR FLAG.

People like you DO NOT deserve to live in this country. THis country has done more for you then you have in return.

You disgust me whale.

Oh but thats the wonderfull part about it. You may not think I deserve to live here, but becuase of the freedom of this country (Thanks to the people that fought and died for freedom, not a peice of cloth) I can live here anyway. Gotta love it...

You think everyone doesnt deserve to live here, that isnt even an insult from you any more because you have used it so much....

Maybe your intolerant views and your unwillingness to accept people's differences qualifies you to be kicked out.

Out of all that I wrote, the only thing you got out if it was a semantic observation?

Thanks for hanging your whole argument... "...they died for the freedom that that flag represents."  

So by burning it you are not exercising your "freedom," you are "symbolically" BURNING your freedom and saying that you no longer wish to be associated with what the flag represents.

No, I'm fine with protest, you're right, it is given to us. But, burning an American flag, and the people that died to protect it and us, is just un patriotic.

Hades, I'm not intollerant, I allow people of different types to live in peace, but if I get attacked or some dumbass wants to attack my country, I fight back.

I'm willing ot die for my country, my flag and my fellow citizens that actually care about this great country. If you aren't willing to, ok your decision, but I have less respect for you.

That's not intollerant, thats the way of life in this world now.

SHow me where I have made fun of muslims, jews, blacks, hispanics etc etc... I havn't.


Looks like Rico and I are the only patriotic ones that care enough for the flag and not just th freedoms that ir represents...
