Isn't that what makes our country great though? the fact that we allow our citizens the freedom to express themselves.This is what seperates us from countries like Iraq and Korea.Originally Posted by Killer
You seem to have so much love for the American flag, but freedom of speech(no matter who it pisses off) is a HUGE part of what that flag stands for. The guy in the pic is making his statement, and he is excercising his rights as an American.
FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Specvee
IT'S WHAT HE DID TO THE FLAG! IF HE'S GONNA PRACTICE FREE SPEECH HE SHOULD RESPECT THE FLAG THAT STANDS FOR IT!
You do realize that "free speech" is not necessarily limited to spoken words right? Any act or demonstration done for the purposes of making a statement is the same thing as long as it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights or safety.Originally Posted by Killer

You talk about respecting the flag, but u insult him for using his freedom of speech. What he is doing is exercising his right(being an american). You're doing just as much(if not more) harm to what that flag stands for than he is.
Since you love the flag so much and hold it in such high regard, i would think that you would realize that what he is doing is EXACTLY what that flag allows him to do.
Precisely. Infringing on that mans right to peaceful protest is no better than him desecrating the flag. Our country was founded by protestors, outlaws, revolutionaries, and other people that believed they were getting jipped by a government that didn't care about them. In the Declaration of Independance it says that it is our job as citizens to keep our government in check, even by force if neccessary.Originally Posted by Specvee
