    Exactly. We have 2500 dead in Iraq, couldn't they be doing something a little more productive than a flag burning amendment (sp)?

    Plus up to 43,140 dead civilians according to http://iraqbodycount.org

    I agree with an earlier post that obviously this issue shouldn't be discussed at this time and the only reason it did manage to waste two days in congress is because of the upcoming mid-term elections and trying to rally the ignorant jingoes and nationalists and get re-elected. It's disgusting.

    Well, the thread is about burning a flag, not enjoying the burning of an Iraninan....like your post charactarizes you of.

    if the guy was canadian, italian, irish, chinese, loatian, australian, american, whatever...i'd still feel the same way. i'm not taking joy in a human being hurt, i'm laughing at the fact that he's a stupid asshole that didn't bother to wipe lighter fluid off his arm before he decided to light my flag up. as far as i'm concerned, it serves him right.

    and you know what, i take back calling you a douche. i just don't like being called the equivilant of "inhuman". obviously this subject sits differently with me than you.

    My mistake....I read your post as if it were racially motivated. I apologize.
