"Disrespect is despiciable, but I do not see just cause in outlawing such a show of disrespect just to outlaw disrespect. Such acts only draw further undeserved attention to the flag burners."
I'm not surprised from other encounters on FR that you would have no issue with flag burning. By your logic, rape should be allowed. That disrespects a female. Yes futher attention would be drawn to rapists ... sigh. Why not just beocme a godless Demoncrat and be done with it ... .
Which of course is not what he said. Not everything that is rude or obnoxious needs to be a crime.
By your logic, rape should be allowed.
Wow.
Possibly one of the worst analogies I've ever seen made. Rape isn't speech it's a violent act committed against somebody else. Burning a flag is a form of speech, while it might deeply offend it is still speech. As a person whose family hails from Mexico, I wouldn't care for someone telling me that I was subhuman because of my ancestry, but he/she would have a legal right to do it. We can't just allow the tolerable speech, we have to allow the intolerable speech as well. Fred Phelps is person that comes to mind in such an argument.
That might be the dumbest post I've ever seen. Unfortunately for you, you decided to hit "Post" and allow the rest of the world to draw an opinion about you from it.
