Quote from The PostmanOther than the means of destruction there is no correlation since the two are completely different subjects. One is a national symbol the other is a religious artifact.
Doh... one is a flag and one isnt. You can keep repeating it or answer the question. Why is a religious symbol more respectworthy than any other symbol that ppl add value to?
If i attached great value to my special marble, would you respect it more than your own american flag?
Quote from The PostmanThere is still no bearing here on what's going on in the US with the failed flag burning ammendment. For whatever reason you're still trying to inject this shit into something completely different. Domestic policy regarding a national symbol != domestic policy regarding a non-state entity's religious symbols.
There is actual correlation. I know that a flag isnt a koran, but why is one superior to the other? Why does the freedom to burn something or not depend on the amount of violence that it triggers?
What you are suggesting is nothing less than accepting your role as slave in your own country.
BREAKING UPDATE NEWS:

Quote from The PostmanYou still haven't drawn a correlation at all. You're trying to inject something that has no bearing on the domestic policies of the US. Get out of this thread and cease the trolling.
The correlation in plain english, is that defending the freedom to criticise your government while oppressing the freedom to criticise Islam , is hypocrite. And why do you do it? Can you answer, why is it forbidden to criticise Islam? Is it absolutely perfect then? I can tell you matey [Blocked Image: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8959/loveit5nr.gif] there are about 27 hotzones around the globe that disagree with that!
Quote from The PostmanHowever, Islam is an ancient faith that goes beyond national borders and effects many people regardless of nationality, race or heritage. Burning its articles is a bit more personal and offensive than someone torching any flag.
This explanation is plain discriminative, since it has no valid arguments. Why is it more offensive to an individual if his religion crosses borders, has more worshippers, more races or is older? He only lives in one country, he is only one person, he is only one race and he has only lived as long as any of us. All of these explanations give no justification to being more violent about values. It is a desperate attempt to be politically correct while sacrificing courageous heroes such as the authors of the muhammed cartoons.
The real reason you respect Islam is that worshippers stand up for its values. And the reason why many of them dont respect your values, is because you let them be burned. You dont care about them untill it reaches congress, and in the meantime you backstab the heroes of the telemark that defend the future your children will have to live in
Quote from The PostmanTo put it very very simply: if someone burns a US flag in another country who cares. They're angry at us and let them be. If someone burns a US flag here I really don't care because it generally just means they're dumbasses with an omgrageagainstthemachine~~! attitude and merit little attention. It matters most to one nation though and just to the people within that nation.
However, Islam is an ancient faith that goes beyond national borders and effects many people regardless of nationality, race or heritage. Burning its articles is a bit more personal and offensive than someone torching any flag.
What happens in the US goes beyond national borders too matey.
The lack of response when your flag burns is not because the symbol is unimportant, but because youre tolerant. And the riots from burning a koran come from intolerance.
But your flag represents your values, just like the koran does theirs. Letting it burn while respecting the insane status of the other has apparently made you believe that a koran has the most respectful values the world will ever see. If you didnt believe that, then why do you accept your bibles being burned while backstabbing europe for drawing cartoons?
A paradox only Postman could be, in favor of the freedom to burn flags, but against the freedom to burn islamic things! It is discrimination Posty, plain and very very simple.
But yes, we get it, you don't like brown people what worship that allah chap, we get it already RD. Trust me.
Im afraid the KKK is an organisation from your own backyard mate 
Quote from The PostmanThe flag burning ammendment means that US citizens cannot burn American flags. How the hell does this have anything to do with the EU and how you tools fucked up with that cartoon and its reprinting? I think you're really stretching here.
It correlates :roll: And i just explained how.
Why are you in favor for the freedom to burn flags, and against the freedom to draw cartoons?
Quote from The PostmanHow the hell does that even correlate, at all?
Ok, i will rephrase it for those of us that dont have intelligence as native language.
When you burn a koran, your flags correlate with fire around the world. I guess it has become so normal for you that you dont even grasp what freedom is anymore. You cant say everything anymore, and you cant protest against Islam at all.
It was demonstrated during the cartoon riots, the US backstabbed the EU when it excersised its freedom to protest against islamic violence. But now you are defending this same freedom because it only involves your own flag. Why?
I think this law would restore some balance to the planets energyforces.
Btw the news article in this thread wasnt really about Islam, but in the rest of the world, when american flags are burning, the chances are that it involves Islam.
just some constructive criticism 
Quote from The PostmanWhy do you hope so?
I hope it because these days its mostly done by ppl that assault our right to burn their holy book.
It will expose the apes that are for freedom to burn an atheist symbol and against the freedom to burn a divine symbol. In other words, ppl that find atheists lesser humans.Ofcourse it would be better if it was all free to do 
But its not and as long as its not, you accept your inferiority.
When it becomes illegal in the US i expect it to happen even more in other countries, just for the hell of it
Quote from Section_Ei8htI can't put it any better than that. I say keep it legal.
For me it depends on who's doing it. I dont mind hippies or ppl protesting Bush or the war, but most of the time ppl burn the flag because it represents freedom and western society. They'll never appreciate the freedom to burn it untill its removed 
every unpatriotic liberal leftist hippy should be shot
the time of hippies is long over :roll:
Today its muslims that worship the deathpenalty for burning a koran or drawing a cartoon
Quote from ctswinGood review. Here are some pictures, since some people seem aren't capable of google image searching
I know what the thing looks like, but a review is more than just a block of text. Imagine going to a gaming site reading a review of super mario universe with a link to google for the screens :roll:
Will become illegal I hope at least.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/06/26/ ... index.html
I wish other countries would do the same with their flags.
What do you think?
this review is pretty bad. Post some screens, images of games, etc.
Arent you 19 or 20 minos? The best years of your life are not puberty 
Anyways its good to be unhappy about the past/present, it makes you want to change.
