  • Burnin the American flag

    Quote from RD

    Apparently you dont recognize the causes and effects, because you dont recognize there is a problem. You think violence is a normal and acceptable way of dealing with criticism? :roll: That violence is predictable doesnt mean its all righty

    Now you're just being contrary for the sake of being contrary.

    Quote from RD

    Unfortunately for you, you live in the western world and its unlawful to assault or kill others for whatever reason other than self defense

    Did I ever say it was legal or right? Re-read. Oh, and emoticons are not punctuation. I took the liberty of removing around a half dozen.

    Quote from RD

    I dont think you even grasp what you are saying yourself. If you really believe what you just said, you wouldnt mind the entire US being like Harlem... having the freedoms that white ppl have in a black ghetto.Its nothing more than pretending, because you only talk like this because you dont live there and never have to deal with it.

    No RD, what I'm saying is "do what you will, wear what you'll wear, but accept the consequences of your actions." It absolves neither party but it recognizes the cause/effect of what goes on.

    Your tactic of dealing with extremism has only made the situation explode globally. You just let it grow and then throw bombs on it [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif] Its not working matey [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif]

    Right. Someone has little to no knowledge about what got the middle east to where it is today. That person is you.

    Quote from RD

    Thats exactly why Harlem has been such a shitty hood for decades. You support the murder of anybody that wants to change it and confront the violence with words. You do this because you believe anybody that criticizes black ppl is a racist. Likewise you believe the same of anybody that criticizes religion. Dont you understand that the mere fact that its dangerous to protest against certain cultures, proves that it needs to be confronted with the year 2006?It is actually the contempt for your own race that blinds you from the truth [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif] In your eyes there is no such thing as valid criticism of other religions, cultures or races, but only your own right?

    You missed the point. Completely.

    What does Dungeons & Dragons have to do with this?You know in Europe we had an open debate about this with over half a billion ppl. They all agreed that the freedom of speech should not be oppressed to satisfy a violent culture. It is retarded :roll:

    D&D = debate & discussion. No one ever said your speech should be curtailed to satisfy any culture, but you should probably step up to the plate and accept responsibility for your actions if they garner negative results. Understanding and dealing with a situation does not = being oppressed.

    Who said anything about the government doing it? Trying to change the subject?

    This thread is about an ammendment proposed to ban flag burning. Are you retarded?

    Quote from Pericolos0

    its definiately the hoodlums fault for beating you up. Why wouldnt it be? I do not get you logic... If i wear a tshirt with fuck postmen on it, and you beat me up... are you going to claim innocence because i insulted you? Great way to avoid responsibility postman, thats a great way to go about things.

    Oh I get it, you switched my name in there! Haha! Haha! No, it doesn't work like that. If you wear something with the explicit intention of pissing someone off you can't be surprised if it pisses someone off, and while they aren't fully justified in the ass-beating you'll receive, it's something that will more than likely happen. Does it make it right? No. Does it still happen? Yes. Does that mean that one should accept responsibility for one's own actions in the face of such recourse? Yes.

    Quote

    Also you are a great debater for already calling the arguments of the other side dumb before the debate

    Any time I show one of my friends from SA's D&D this forums and your guys' posts they cringe and shudder and ask me how I can manage to stay sane. Yeah, it's been debated here before and it was retarded.

    Quote

    how does this even compare? This isnt about laws, there is no law that says i cant idraw muslim cartoons if i want. Should there be? And if there is, am i wrong for being upset that i do not have freedom of speech?

    You missed the point. Re-read the post.

    Quote from RD

    Wait.... suddenly you are in favor of the freedom to burn religious symbols? Flipflop? :roll:

    Yay! It's hand puppets time again. You've never understood where I've come from with that, I think.

    Government shouldn't do certain things because it effects the entire nation unjustly.

    If a governmental body burns another country's flag that's a show of official aggression. It's not illegal, but that country shouldn't be surprised if the nation in question reacts harshly.

    If the citizens of that same country burn that flag it's a bunch of hot-heads spouting off.

    If citizens burn the flag of their own nation, likewise it's just a bunch of hot-heads spouting off.

    If the government burns its own flag it's just being odd and should be inspected for the UFOs that you talk about all the time.

    If a governmental body burns any religious object as a show of aggression that's just asking for trouble within and without. It's not illegal, but it does invite a whole host of shit down on the country in question, its stations overseas, and its citizens abroad. Such actions should not be taken lightly since they effect the lives of so many.

    If the citizens of the same country burn a religious object it's a bunch of hot-heads spouting off and probably doesn't amount to a hill of beans unless the country they're in condones it or doesn't actively see that such actions don't avalanche into rioting.

    If citizens of that religion burn their own objects they're just weird.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    the country and cartoonists should not be held accountable for their actions, the people striiring up the violence for soemthing so trivial should. Its that simple, i dont know why you are even debating this

    Yeah, if I wear a "FUCK read the rulesS" shirt in Harlem it's not my fault for choosing to wear the shirt, it's those unruly hoodlums' fault for beating the living shit out of me. Great logic. Avoiding responsibility for one's own actions is a great way to go about things.

    Why, I shouldn't be beheld to any laws because it's not my fault I did anything, it's simply the State's fault for getting upset that I did! They need to get over it.

    That being said, this is an argument for a different (and undoubtedly very dumb) thread.

    You havent defeated me. You have defeated the freedom of speech in your own country. Congratulations :roll:

    I'm the one that didn't want the flag burning ammendment to pass and who thinks that burning the Koran is an abomination. You lose, RD.

    Quote from RD

    Well then explain it again. Why is it ok to burn western symbols and fucked up to burn others?

    :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

    Re-read your own thread. It's there, repeatedly in size 12 arial font type. Lay off the rolleyes guy, he's getting a headache from your abuses.

    Quote from RD

    This is my thread Postman, and i decided what it was about, not you :roll: You have missed the point of its creation. This isnt about the cloth being burned. Its about the principles behind it :roll: :roll:

    "Wah, and if you don't like it I'll take my ball and go home!" Great tactic.

    Quote from RD

    This shows you are against the freedom of speech.

    What. :roll:

    Quote from RD

    You are only in favor of it when your own culture is criticized.

    My concern in this argument is for the ammendment proposed in my country and my argument with you has been that you're injecting bullshit into an argument where it has no place.

    Quote from RD

    But as soon as there is criticism of another culture, its "fucked up". It is plain discriminative, no matter how hard you try to flee away, moaning that it has no bearing.

    This is after you say "My thread, my rules!" after your first post has... oh hey, nothing to do with the Koran and only with the now-dead ammendment. You lose, RD.

    Quote from RD

    Try to explain it Postman :roll: I dare you.

    I have. Repeatedly. You just don't care to use logic in your posts.

  • Burnin the American flag

    Quote from RD

    In the last 3 pages i have only been talking about strictly the US. Not the middle east or the rest of the world.

    Yes. Because this was an American ammendment dealing with the American flag.

    Quote from RD

    Youre not free to burn symbols in your own country, you are not in favor of it unless its your own flag.

    We ARE allowed to burn symbols on our country. However the government should not do it.

    Quote from RD

    You allow it because you simply dont care. Not only does that defeat the purpose of burning it, but it is plain racist.

    What the fuck are you on about?

    Quote from RD

    Racism is a complex word Postman, there are many kinds of it. You have to be very careful not to discriminate your own race out of fear for a population that wants to defeat your values.

    This would matter or make sense if American was a race or if I was trying to ban Islam because of brown-skinned folks. But American isn't a race and I'm not talking about Islam, you are, incessantly. For no reason.

    Quote from RD

    It is racist to treat any culture differently than your own laws subscribe. You must also demand all citizens IN YOUR OWN COUNRY to follow your laws, and not just your own race/religion/culture, because again, it would be plain racist not to.

    Again, what the fuck are you on about? So far you've dragged out how your country fucked up with cartoons and how you really don't like Muslim folks but you haven't given one good reason why the United States should ban flag burning. And now...racism? What the hell? Religion is not race and flags are not race. Furthermore and most importantly this has nothing to do with Denmark, cartoons, Islam or anything you're babbling about. At all.
