Well idk about that amendment, but burning the flag of your nation is disrespectful. I agree that the flag of your country stands for everything that country has to offer to you. If you urinate on a flag might as well leave that country because such actions give the idea that you dislike that country..... Many soldiers have died defending that flag and doing such thing will be disrespecting them also, showing that you dont care for the freedom you are enjoying today. |
No. You have it ass-backwards. People have died defending the freedoms that the flag represents, not the flag itself as some kind of super-sacred inanimate object. If the country the flag represents ceases to represent said freedoms wtf would I care about 50 stars and 13 stripes if it stood for values that were completely antagonistic towards my own? If you think that desecrating the flag because it supposedly goes against everything our country stands for than I'm afraid you're not very learned with respect to what our country actually stands for. In other words, the first amendment is the FIRST amendment for a reason. |

I'm wondering what you think of the flag being used as a backdrop for a continuous stream of lies served with an arrogant and demeaning attitude (i.e. Fox News)? Is it disrespectful as well?
IMO the only thing more sad than showing contempt through the burning of textiles is to outlaw such behaviour. |

The American meadia over exagerrates things and lies A LOT. Its sad that many Americans fall for everything they say. THE MEDIA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW WE VIEW THE WORLD, and i wouldnt always blame the American media always also the Euro, although all of the news channel the one i trust the most is BBC News. But still all of you people view America as a country of lies, imperealist etc. This is a country that allows citizens to do almost what the hell they want, in a free society crazy shiet happens like serial killers emerge because the govt. dosent get to involve with civilians and their way of living. |

Dupz would like to say, for the record, that while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Renegade is indeed a dreamy man specimen that Dupz has been vociferously eying up and down. Furthermore, Dupz requests assistance in communicating aforementioned interest to the appropriate party.
End communication.

Sorry to post on topic or anything... but to alleviate your worries, it won't pass the Senate. The House always passes extremely partisan drivel, simply because they can (see Henry Hyde's UN Reform Act). In the Senate things work differently.
Best Case: Turned down on simple no vote in Senate
Worst Case: Filibustered by the Dems until it dies |
