[garbagedump]

Just wanted to know what you guys think of the new "burn a flag" kits that will be selling during O-week. I hope people buy it to support freedom of speech. Remeber, this is soley to show that you support freedom of speech, and doesn't suggest that you hate your country lol.

its a bargain at 5 bucks, i fink thats wat they sell them at. i dun lyk burning australia's flag, but putting things on fire is fun. its freedom of speech i guess, to burn flags and stuff, but i dont really support burning of my own country's flag. but maybe i will when im in uni, ah

Burning the flag shows that you oppose the ideals of freedom of speech that it represents.

How ironic.

"lets fire bomb embassies, to show freedom of speech"

i think that's going a little too far..
"Burning the flag shows that you oppose the ideals of freedom of speech that it represents."

no...burning the flag is just an act taht opposes those who wish to ban it and thus limit our freedom, and in essence our freedom of speech..

Burning the flag to ashes is also the proper, respectful, way of disposing of a flag that has been desecrated. (touching the ground, etc.) I'd have loved to give that flag that that Melbourne artist half-burned and hung (named 'Proudly Un-Australian') a decent 'funeral'. No, I haven't burned a flag as of yet, although the one at my old school also should have been burned, as it wasn't treated as it should have been.

I'm utterly opposed to banning flag burning, but I'd never even consider burning the flag.

EDIT: Let's all have sex with dogs to give a big fuck you to those who want to stop us practicing beastiality!

I'm going to buy a flag burning kit burning kit.

 

[funnybunny]

well withoutaface/not-that-bright, flag burning is an exercise of freedom of speech, just as the publishing of muhammad comics in newspapers....if ur not against that, then why are you against flag burning?...after all it's an expression of the freedom of speech
and not-that-bright..u idiot...u'll still be burning the flag..LOL lmfao

 

[SashatheMan]

they are not apposed it, they just wouldnt do it themselves.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I'm not against flag burning, i'm against flag burning kits.. I think it's stupid is all, but of course it's a gag that you're taking way too seriously - AGAIN, what the hell do you do for fun?

 

[Jason Bourne]

What the fuck does a flag burning kit achieve? Let's just incite more violence shall we and cloud it over with a farce of a pretext such as 'omgz0r dis promotes freedum of shpeech!'? I hope someone burns down your stall instead.

 

[SashatheMan]

os there an actual kit? or is this just a joke?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

My guess is it's a kit with a flag and some matches - teh pwn guys. I'm going to sell koran burning kits.

 

[funnybunny]

way 2 seriously?.....i wouldnt think posting on a forum is that serious...i was merely using an analogy as withoutaface was.
i think ur 9000+ posts shows that maybe u should be asking urself the question, not-that-bright
for fun...how about i burn flags? lol

Ok then i'll use your burning flag to set my koran on fire, and we can both hold hands, sing kumbayar and celebrate what retards we are.

EXACTLY my point with the analogy to the cartoons.

No one here is saying the kit shouldn't be made out of disrespect, we're just saying it's stupid - you can say the newspaper thing was stupid too if you want just don't challenge their right to publish it.

lets shoot it.
