YOu obvioulsy have little if any encounters with Dimensio.

He's all for flag burning.

It's an act, like rape that shows disrespect - to either a man or female - who ever is the victim. by his "logic" this should be allowed to. After all it's just being disrespectful.

People need to ARTICUALTE their disagreements not DISRESPECT OTHERS through flag burning. THAT flag is VERY special. Ask anyone with stones that served in the military ... they'd take Dimensio's head off for such reckless talk. That kind of talk speaks volumes about how HE respects others - he DOESN'T. Low down tactics and sneakiness are his game - so defending flag burning isn't a surprise - par for the course.

Let me say at the start: I'm against flag burning.


But let me also say that disrespecting a symbol is different than disrespecting a person. Symbols are not afforded the same rights as people for obvious reasons, unless an actual person becomes a symbol.

Also, does anyone believe that passing a law against flag burning will stop someone who is so boiling over with hate for this country that they'd think twice about burning a flag?

I am not "all for" flag burning. Your statement about me is false.

It's an act, like rape that shows disrespect - to either a man or female - who ever is the victim. by his "logic" this should be allowed to. After all it's just being disrespectful.

Incorrect. Rape is not outlawed because it shows "disrespect". Rape is outlawed because the act causes harm upon a victim. Your analogy is faulty.

People need to ARTICUALTE their disagreements not DISRESPECT OTHERS through flag burning.

The issues is not about how others "need" to express discontent and disagreement. The issue is over whether flag burning causes demonstratable harm to others.

THAT flag is VERY special.

This does not justify governmental action declaring the flag a sacred object and enacting criminal penalties for its "desecration".

Ask anyone with stones that served in the military ... they'd take Dimensio's head off for such reckless talk.

Whlie this may be true of some veterans, that does not justify government prohibition of the act of "flag desecration".

That kind of talk speaks volumes about how HE respects others - he DOESN'T.

This is a non-sequitur.

Low down tactics and sneakiness are his game - so defending flag burning isn't a surprise - par for the course.

Your personal attacks against me do not demonstrate that your position is logical, rational or valid.
