Flag Burning hubbub

[MarAzul]

That's why they would burn it.

A lot of the things you post are to provoke a reaction. That's the same.

I don't think so dog. I would not burn a flag and I do expect we stay inbounds.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I would try it, but I'll need a 200' tall Trump voodoo doll first. Otherwise the dick won't be big enough to poke with a needle.

But barfo....



Also, funny to see Rubio now returning to Trump with his tail between his legs.

Why do you assume that Clinton supporters are only young people?

Relax.. I know, I was just being facetious. Mainly because when I look at the riots downtown, all I see are the young Portland retiree shitlords.

I agree with you about the patriotism and HRC. But at the same time, I'm torn about flag burning itself.

I agree that it is a form of free speech and, while I strongly disagree with it, I believe that it should be protected, just as any other Constitutional Right should be.

But if a law was made that said it was illegal to burn it, I personally wouldn't lose sleep or shed a tear over the issue.

It's called arson. if you want to waste your money and buy a flag to burn it on your own property and then film it to be trendy on facebook go right ahead. I support your right to be a jackass and i reserve the right to ignore jackasses. if you burn it on my property im pressing charges and youre going to jail for arson. if you burn it in a public place then dont get mad if i miss the ground and you get beach nut in the eye.

Maybe because that's all the media wants to show you.
Can't have it both ways.
Or maybe you can, politicians certainly attempt to.

Good! Just like that.

A whole lot more locally needs to be done all over the country.
"The state of Indiana also plans to give economic incentives to Carrier as part of the deal to stay, according to local officials."

Like due to the way schools are funded in Oregon, many people are short sighted and are not interested in increasing the tax base with new industry or even keeping the old.
There are discussions going on over bringing in an new plant on Coos Bay. The objectors point out correctly, that it will do nothing for the school district funding since an increase in the local taxes
will be met with a equal reduction in State funding. Something not right with that reality since the County is already well below the average per student state wide. I have mixed thoughts about this, but I sort of come down on the side of a Federal voucher system giving direct control to the parents to select the school of their choice where ever it may be. It is too important to the nation not to get this right, all citizens and authorized residents must be educated so they can function as voters.

Then this is true too;
"“This is a spot solution,” said Mohan Tatikonda, a professor at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. “If it goes through it helps some Carrier employees for a period of time, but it doesn’t address the loss of manufacturing jobs to technological change, which will continue.”

We need to embrace seeking competitiveness though technology and automation, so that jobs (Companies) can stay here instead of move to other places. While a business can never run
the place for the workers, it can remain loyal to those it has with cooperation. Moving to the lowest cost labor and the lowest taxes has no guarantee of success, for many obvious reasons.
It is much safer to remain with known employees and the rule of law when remaining profitable is possible.

A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together..

They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment she notices that one wall of his bedroom is Completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddybears.

There are three shelves in the bedroom, with hundreds and hundreds of cute, Cuddly teddy bears carefully placed in rows, covering the entire wall!

It's obvious that he has taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them. She's immediately touched by the amount of thought he put into organizing the display.

There are small bears all alongThe bottom shelf, Medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and Huge, enormous bears running

All the way along the top shelf.

She finds it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of teddy bears. She is quite impressed by his sensitive side, but don't mention this to him.

They share a bottle of wine and continue talking. After awhile, she finds herself thinking, "Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one! Maybe he could be the future father of my children?"

She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips.

He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom, where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love.

She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known.

After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow.

The woman rolls over, gently Strokes his chest and asks coyly,

'Well, how was it?'

The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says:

'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf'

No such a thing as a bisexual man. You're either straight or gay. You mean you give, but don't recieve? Do you keep a women as an option to ease your political affiliation.
My stance has always been that if you have sexual thoughts about another man, that you are gay. Bisexual is a neat card to play though.

Not a Trump or Clinton supporter.

Flag burning has long been a principle of free speech. Any kind of penalty is ridiculous.

If you believe that government should honor the constitution, I don't see how you could favor curtailing free speech. Period.

Not sure why the thread continued after this post. I'd never burn a flag but I'd fight for anyone's right to burn it. What I would burn is a Confederate flag or a flag with a swastika on it. I burn those right in the middle of Pioneer Square.

Dafuq are you talking about.... This is utter bullshit.

besides, i'm a minority, I can pretty much do whatever and white people can't do shit about it, son! :MARIS61:

You ain't forgot who the president elect is did ya?

 

[dviss1]

Flag burning should be protected speech.

Same with using the "N-word" (or any racial slur or any slur of your choosing), burning the Koran or drawing Swastikas.

But they aren't.

Completely untrue.

once again, you are setting the threshold for moral acceptability at the most reviled, corrupt, crooked, (and now irrelevant) politician of our generation. in this sense, every single person in america would measure up favorably to her. so bringing her up to defend your boy is absolutely pointless. every. single. time.

defend your boy! nobody gives a shit about clinton anymore!

New York Times is the sore losers. They had to report on news that they didn't want to.

At $25M of government spending or less, it's break even with what Democrats traditionally spend per "job."

And yet half the country including Rasta still want her elected and put into power.

I am not defending Trump with these replies, I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of Rasta's continual online protest.

Your Facebook conservative friends don't know what they are talking about huh?

Didn't you say you work for UPS or FedEx? And have already made over 90 grand this year doing a 100 percent unskilled job? I can see how one would be so far out of touch with reality in that case. Those good Carrier jobs Trump supposedly saved don't make anything near that.

No they didn't. Hillary was thrust upon us and Trump was the alternative. At LEAST 50% of her voters wanted a different candidate and held their noses while voting.

Yet, 50% ish voted for her. If they had true convictions they would have not voted, or voted green, much like I think you did.

 

[riverman]

If they had true convictions

that's like saying you have to root for the Lakers or Cavs to win a championship when you're a Blazers fan...a lot of us have true convictions that kept us from voting for the Judge Judy show candidates but we're now the silent vote that lurks in the background and builds momentum for the next term...the new deplorables ....anyone with true convictions wouldn't think you'd fix a broken axle with carpenter glue
