[QUOTE="ShadowSD:454333"]Man_of_the_Century said:[QUOTE]Anything has or can have symbolism to it. I could say that stabbing a dog in the face is a symbol of my love for cats, and I'd go to jail for it. Kiddie porn and sexual harrasment could be a symbol for some people, even if its not for you. So, that arguement really doesn't work.[/QUOTE] Nah, in that case, why would people like Stein or anyone else make a big deal about the flag being a symbol if anything could be? To put it more succinctly, there's a difference between a symbol and a shared symbol. Anything can be a symbol to an individual, you are correct, but when Stein mentions the flag as a symbol, he's speaking about it as a symbol that has a shared historical meaning to all of us. That is the kind of symbol I was referring to above to argue against the amendment. Damn English language with it's semantic imperfections. [QUOTE]But this whole thing is just a giant waste of time. I don't care if someone burns a flag, I just treat them like dog shit. Heck, If I'm drunk enough, I might punch them. If people that burn flags don't want to be treated as third-class citizens, don't burn the flag.[/QUOTE] Sounds like you're not for the amendment, then (if I understand correctly); you're more for the common sense "don't be a jackass" approach. Sounds reasonable to me. [/QUOTE]
