It's not even in bad taste. It's paper and cloth, who gives a damn? If you're that sensitive that burning either affects you at all, the world doesn't need you. Oversensitivity is the basis of hate.

Yeah its completely pointless though.

Is the US going to change its policies cos a few nutjobs burn the American flag?

Are terrorist nutjobs going to change cos someone burnt the koran?

No but Asscrackistan should be a bit more target friendly for a few weeks. :D

I think all parties are equally retarded.

I agree, which is why I'm confused as to why the liberals get their panties in a bunch over the Koran burning, but nary a word is said about the US flag being burnt.

Double standard

I suppose its because we understand that the extreamists who are burning US flags are gunning for a global war that unites all muslims against the west.

We are pretty shocked and dumbfounded when we see someone on our side agreeing with and supporting them.

So you condemn the Koran burning, but you defend an American flag burning.

:rolleyes:

You may recall that I said having a right entails consequences? Well this is a minor case. Now someone will exercise their rights. Wash, repeat. I suppose it's inevitable, but like Bill Cosby says about kids who act surprised when caught. It's brain damage.

Just wondering if those who are against the burning of the Koran are against this as well.

kinda sick how he says stop "demonizing" Muslims, right before he burns the Constitution.


my reacton to flag burners is it makes us stronger. what I always see in my mind is the guys climbing the bluffs on D-Day, or the Navajo codebreakers, and I remember how proud I am to be an American.

Exactly. It is pointless. And if everybody just ignored them it would stop. But they're getting exactly what they want, attention. They're attention whores and the media is feeding right into it.

Kinda reminds me of the guy in the other thread saying stop demonizing Muslims, right before he defends Muslim countries' rights to destroy Bhuddist monuments. What's good for Muslims (tolerance) is apparently not good for other people.

Read a History Book. They have some reasons.

Well some people have really good reasons to burn the Quran so what's the difference? They're offending Americans by burning the flag even though they do it because of the American Gov't, just as Muslims are offended by Quran burning because of Al Queda. Same exact shit, but you're an apologist so you don't see it.

They should be burning the British flag every single day as long as their own country - the UK - forces them to be second class citizens because of the British monarchy.

Um, ok.

I don't particularly care for any organized religion, even Islam, but that doesn't mean that I would support the British government from mandating that only a certain religious background is good enough to be part of the tax payer supported royalty.

But I bet you support it since it probably props up your white supremacist beliefs.

It isn't the same though. Fail, sorry.

Is that what I said?

Protip: No, it is not.


Oh thats funny, I saw you come into this thread saying they had reasons for doing it...I didn't see any condemning of their actions. I saw apologizing.

Protip: You are a hypocritical little man

Negative. Not an apology, an explanation. Where's the hypocrisy? Did the Koran attack the US?
