If the flag is my property then I'll do what I damn well please with it, and none of you pinko-liberal-socialist femi-nazis can tell me otherwise!

Yup. Accurate. Concise, and if it's my nations flag and i happen to be there, you'll be singin soprano about 5 seconds after yah hit the striker on the lighter.

...and I'll be out on bail inside 3 hours. Six weeks later; I'll be in a courtroom; get my free trial, recieve a suspended sentance and happily pay your medical bills.

..and you'll still be singin soprano.

Cheers!

If I were burning a US flag in front of you in Florida, could I say I felt threatened and pull out a gun and shoot you? :)

He himself has sort of changed inside as he has become a practicing Muslim and so with all those issues and the fact that he wants to make sure the show projects him and his comedy in the right light."

WTF Dave Chappele a muslim?

and.. getting back to the topic... has Dave donated his 'rich beyatch' millions to Islam yet?

I guess I wan't fast enough.  I thought my post was better placed in the "I believe in free speech but.." thread.

See Airhead: there are already people in this thread who are talking about the crime of flag-burning, or who are even ready to physically assault anybody who is burning a flag.

WTF is wrong with those guys...a flag is just a symbol. Burning it is bad taste in my book and only shows a lack of imagination but it doesn't justify prison nor physical punishment. This kind of nationalistic crap led Germany to nazism. Wake up.

I don't really care about flag burning but fail to see how setting somethintg on fire is the same as speaking or writing.   I can see allowing sign language as part of the first but burning?   Cartoons? sure.  but burning stuff?

You should be free to burn a flag I suppose if there are no laws against it but... protected uinder free speech?  that seems silly.  

Why isn't not wearing a seat belt or helmet protected under free speech?
