    it is ok and a good/smart thing to use the n word. society has the problem with the word, i do not. if i get in trouble for using it, it is because everyone else is an idiot.

    it isnt about your feelings. or anyone's.

    of course it is protected! what are you talking about!

    Not a protected speech...hate speech may incite violence therefore it is not protected. Look it up.

    Understand I am using that term broadly…you can’t promote violence against a group of people...you can say 'I hate white crackers..white crackers all are bastards that deserve to be treated like red headed step children." But you can't burn a cross on a white man's yard and scream "get out our town honkey"

    I'll admit...I shouldn't of use the term "hate speech" I was unclear...and I'm sorry...I'll go spank myself later.

    Wrong. Hate speech and incitement of violence are different things.

    You Sir,
    Took the words right out of my mouth, I totally agree with you!
    Having come from an all Military family, I feel the exact same way.;)

    yunno flags are not "originals" you can make as many as you want.


    would you be mad if i made a flag myself and burned it? what if i drew one in crayon and burned that? what if i am really artistic and my crayon flag looked amazing and made you cry with patriotism?

    Swerved It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    As that's not where they're kept, one might have a hard time finding them there.. :wave:

    But, to all that say "well it was within his rights to burn it", I submit that it was well within the opposing folks rights to express their disgust with him for doing that. It works both ways.
