That sounds a while lot like political EXPRESSION. And that's what they are trying to ban.

Staged burnings on the street are bad for the morale of the country and THAT is why I disagree with it. ANY form of hate-mongering I disagree with.
My post was really to try to find out what people's thoughts were, NOT to attack people! Not being American, I'm not really up-to-date on the wheres and whyfores of the laws there/constitution etc.. so I ask and hopefully don't get flamed!:

Somemone said "I may not believe in what you say, but I defend your right to say it" Seems nowadays people think "You can say what you want, as long as it doesn't piss me off. Otherwise you should shut the fuck up"
Do you support the beleifs of the KKK? In you say no would you be for banning them from being able to protest or have a parade? I mean you can much for hateful than the KKK.
The 1st Admendment is not about protect sppech we all like or speech everyone agrees on. Why in the fuck would those need protecting in the first place? Just remember many people think OUR line of work isn't free speech either. So be careful who you align yourselves with.
One more thing you can't burn the Chinese flag in China. If you heard that protesters in China were arrested and sent to prison for burning the Chinese flag would you be in support of Communistic government or the flag burners? Because you can't have it both ways.
