COLI DEBATE: Should Flag Burners Face Some Kind Of Criminal PUNISHMENT?

[levitate]

I have yet to read a legitimate reason as to why it should be illegal.

If you want to make it illegal, please put forth an objective argument stating the case.

That fact that it hurts someone's feelings or offends them is not a legitimate argument.

I like to burn these pieces of trash.

My only argument was that it was regressive. Also, I said people should atleast at the maximum face a fine for burning it like that. Just my view

Let's not call names. This is a debate not a namecalling session. I've brought up those points in the OP and first page. c00ning is when you hate your own people. We can't devalue that word.

When I see the American flag, I think of the annihilation of the native American race caused by cacs and the centuries of torture that blacks have endured because of cacs. That's how the country was made and it wouldn't exist in its current form if those two things didn't happen. Being pro American and having pride in that flag is being proud of white supremacy period. You can't separate the two, it ain't just a blunder in the country history like the Holocaust and Germany, it's literally how the country was made.

I respect this view. Like I said, maybe I went overboard with fines, but I do respect the vets and all about Pro-Productivity. That's why I'm against flag burning. Congrats to your husband and I salute him defending freedom of every American

What freedom?

What you see as regressive others may see as empowering.

It was kinda regressive to dump that tea into the harbor too, eh?

And even if we agree that it's regressive, why should a regressive act be punishable?

 

[SirReginald]

What freedom?

Freedom to say and do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt others. You won't get that in the Middle-East or other countries like China or North Korea. We have a lot of room for improvement, but don't act like you have zero freedom.

 

[SirReginald]

P.S. neg like a coward and don't even debate why you feel that way brehs When I neg or disagree I explain why. The coli I feel is turning into a non constructive place.

 

[SirReginald]

This thread turned out horrible

 

[SirReginald]

One more thing, I'm not gonna pander for you all. I'm going to be honest and upforth. First off, people respect you more when you are honest. NEVER, will I not state how I feel. You can neg, call names, and etc all you want. I was NOT raise that way and I shall NOT act that way.

It was only a discussion. Also, I've touched on the other issues that you have raised many of times.
