    That organizer is dumb as ****. He was arrested for stealing property. You get arrested for stealing property in any country in the world. It just so happened that he decided to steal a flag, and from what I read he damaged the wire that was needed to hold the flag since he cut it.

    We've seen you be very rude to such people online. If you aren't upset, why do you do this?

    obviously i am a rude person. i would never, for instance, get in a gang of intimidators and crowd anyone for not agreeing with me.

    plus i dont feel like it is all that irrational to hate america. we do some stupid stuff.

    i guess you could ask why i get so fired up about truthers. i guess it is because i am partially amazed at how stupid they are, as well as the fact that i dont like when people spread lies. if you simply hate america and want to burn the flag thats ok, it doesnt matter to me if you hate america.

    it certainly is worse if you lie about america. like if a guy is telling everyone bush started a war for oil so his cronies could profit. that is more irritating, although i dunno if i would say i am "offended". in any case i would always encourage whoever to speak up and burn whatever they want to express their opinion.

    and there is a difference between stating you opinion and lying. if you hate america and wish death to it, that is not as agressively stupid as spreading lies, like for instance telling little children that heaven exists.

    At the risk of derailing the thread, prove heaven doesn't exist.

    Dude this is standard debate/logic stuff. The burden of proof is always on the person making the positive assertion. Negatives can not be proven. As the existance of heaven is an article of faith it is nearly impossible to prove, and no empirixal data exists to support it. You either have to accept it or not based on faith. Guys like me, and I assume you, choose to accept it.

    kinda what i was thinking.

    for the love of god (pardon the pun), can that argument please be taken to another thread so we have just one thread that does not turn into a debate on religion?

    pretty please?

    Well, it is a logical conundrum at the beginning when you ask someone to "prove" a mythic concept. You haven't even defined heaven. Want to take a crack at that? I'm curious as to what provable properties a mythological place might have?

    Best start a new thread

    Heaven to me would be tiger stadium, on game day, playing against Alabama, with the ability to purchase beer while in the stadium.

    That or a big white cloud with beer wenches in a beer garden.
