    Outrage at flag burning is associated with the most dopey and geratric of US Republicans. Glad to know that however badly they are doing there, they still have some fans in the North.

    Careful now, it looks like you're trying to incite him to incite violence. Where will it end?

    Won't somebody think of the children?

    If you had been around a couple of hundred years ago and had been a warrior, I'm guessing that you would have been more of a war hammer kind of guy as opposed to a rapier.

    First femmefatale, now this guy. I have short patience for people who barge into a conversation after hundreds of pages and make dumb statements. I'm sure those US Supreme Court judges that have ruled that flag-burning isn't unconstitutional would be glad to know that this moron thinks they shouldn't hold that opinion until they burn a flag themselves.
