u don’t seem tom understand it is NOT an argument for a lesser punishment. It is the distinction between harming another person and not harming a person. Burning a flag might piss you off, but it does no harm to your person or property unless the flag is stocking out of your gas tank.
You are proposing the government give license to physically attack another person even hough it is not self defense.
You can shout fire if you want and there is a fire. If you mean in a crowded theatre, it is not analogous to flag burning since in one case you are warning people to safe their lives and in the other you are just throwing a temper tantrum.
Just because you are not understanding doesn’t make me a liberal. It is a cheap desperate attempt to win an unsinkable argument. If you want to add further attack, send me to DU or one of the other sites. that’s what the real faux-bullies try to do when they lose and argument.
“u don’t seem tom understand it is NOT an argument for a lesser punishment.”
The word is spelled “you.” How young are you, anyway?
“It is the distinction between harming another person and not harming a person. Burning a flag might piss you off, but it does no harm to your person or property unless the flag is stocking out of your gas tank.”
That’s the fundamental error that leads people into libertarianism: the failure (or refusal) to think things through far enough to see the harm done.
I guess you’re probably not old enough to remember America before all this crap metastasized in the 1960s, Flag burning is one more tactic in the degradation of American culture, of the effort to turn Americans into self-hating Obama voters, and it had its effects.
It is not difficult to identify the tactics of the left, or to see their effects. Every one of these tactics is defended not just by the left, but by the tendentiously even-handed—people like you, and even some to the right of you, who are unable to make the connection between action and reaction.
“You are proposing the government give license to physically attack another person even hough it is not self defense.”
Any measure taken against the left is self-defense on a national scale. The constitution is not a suicide pact.
“If you mean in a crowded theatre, it is not analogous to flag burning since in one case you are warning people to safe their lives and in the other you are just throwing a temper tantrum.”
Nonsense. In the case of flag burning, you are attempting to prevent the destruction of the only hope of the world.
“Just because you are not understanding doesn’t make me a liberal. It is a cheap desperate attempt”
Blah, blah, blah. I didn’t say you were a liberal. I said you used a DLDT, and you did: you implied that I am the only person in the world who holds my opinion, while you speak for some “us” and “we,” which apparently includes all decent people.
