Flag burning is not pointless, I never said that.

 

 

 

Again just because you disagree with some thing, that doesn't automatically make it pointless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you asked me "Why bother posting?" It's freedom of speech. I'm exercising that freedom.

 

 

 

Third double standard so far, right?

 

 

 

How is it a double standard, I asked you a question?

 

 

 

I would agree with you, if I had attempted to censor you.

 

Didn't you question me earlier about why I burnt the flag? (Double standard?)

Why would you burn a flag? Back in the day it might have been revolutionary, maybe. But today it just seems so unnecessary, and not really relevant.

 

 

 

There doesn't need to be a reason to do anything, so long as you don't harm another person in the process.

 

 

 

What's this here DaN? Looks to me like you're saying you did so for no reason, unless you're just stating something for the hell of having a reply... which would make it irrelevant. :shame:

I'm not saying that at all. re read the sentence.

 

 

 

Sorry try again.

Sorry, I didn't know "pointless" and "for no reason" meant different things DaN. :lol:

 

 

 

The only excuse you can have now is that English isn't your first language.

 

 

 

Also, you said I don't need a reason to do anything as long as it doesn't harm anyone. You asked my "Why bother posting?" ("What is your reason for posting?") Didn't you just say there doesn't need to be a reason...? Your posts are oh so contradictory that it's quite amusing.

its a material thing, although people get killed for material things everyday.

Sorry, I didn't know "pointless" and "for no reason" meant different things DaN. :lol:

Your not going to get the reaction your looking for.

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly,

 

Looks to me like you're saying you did so for no reason,

 

 

 

Show me where I said that?

So you want me to repeat my previous post over and over again until you finally get it?

Lol, that's weird

 

 

 

Well I wouldn't find offensive if someone burned down the flag of countries I don't like/neutral/no opinion. If someone burned down my flag (Canada), I wouldn't really care.

 

 

 

But I'd get a little upset if someone burned down the flag of a country I like, especially if it makes no sense. For instance, I can understand why people would want to burn the american flag, because the USA is not innocent. The USA is not "bad", but it definitively has some blood on its hands: Iraq/Afquan wars, and economic vampirism of other countries comes to mind. But if for instance someone burned down the flag of an innocent country that did nothing wrong, I just wouldn't get it, hating for no reason is just ... pointless.

I don't know what your trying to get out of this. I just asked you to show me the sentence, or do I have to go into why the sentence you chose was incorrect.

You could also burn a flag to celebrate, or to oppose the values of the current government you don't have to hate the whole country and its people in order to burn a flag.

Celebrate what? The overthrow of a corrupt government? Victory over the country in war? Sorry bub, those things haven't happened in the whole history of America, and it seems that America is the biggest target for flag burning and the predominant one in this thread.

 

 

 

A drunken what-the-hell-lol-it's-fun moment? That would fall under the heading of "pointless."

The value that this thread once had has long since passed and won't come again if it continues on like this. I think everyone should just pack it in.

Celebrate what?

 

 

 

Freedoms, Values, or is that not what the flag stands for?

Why, people are still discussing related issues. I agree some of the value is gone, but its not dead.

I don't know what your trying to get out of this. I just asked you to show me the sentence, or do I have to go into why the sentence you chose was incorrect.

 

 

 

Obviously. I give you too much credit - I thought you could figure things like that out. If I'm saying that my previous post holds the answer, doesn't commonsense tell you to tell me why my previous post is "incorrect"?

It's just moving in circles at this point, and not even eloquent ones.

I know your trying to get some kind of reaction here, but you will be unsuccessful.

 

 

 

Sorry, perhaps you will win with someone else.

Nice, you just completely proved the point Lateralus made.

Well, it is going in circles, at least it has started to from the last page.

here, let me try and revive it :P http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6850/89uj0.jpg
