Rest in gibs

Most doors are not 7" thick…

As do I.

Also I will rub BBQ sauce onto the parts of my body that I keep uncovered. It helps with the heat transfer.

It’s about what is legal and what is not legal.

It’s not legal to set fire on the sidewalk. Everyone accepts that to be true and a pretty good law.

Burning flags in general is legal, most people accept that to be true and think that it’s a pretty good law.

When you do something illegal, while doing something legal, in order to prove that the second thing was legal. You muddy the waters and give ammunition to people who want the second thing to be illegal.

I’m glad at least one person understands the point that I made. If you’re going to have a showdown with an unjust law, don’t give your enemy easy ways to twist your actions into something that they are not. It should be legal to burn anything you don’t like - as long as you respect the normal rules about burning things in general. Fire isn’t something to fuck around with, and the laws about not burning things on the street are good laws.

I just wanted to add that there is a difference between a conversation and a sermon. If someone wants to ignore everything I say and make shit up just to spout nonsense, they can do that, but I’m going to call them out for it and I’m going to point out the ways in which they are having a text based masturbation session in my replies.

Calling every person you disagree with a fascist apologist, gives space for real fascists to thrive, so thanks for helping them out with that I guess.

Yeaaa, that’s pretty off base. You’re moving the goalposts. I just said it’s a crime to set fire to things on the sidewalk in a public and mentioned that it would be more responsible to do it with a metal bin or something.

All of this “apologizing for cruel dictators” “you are part of the problem” bullshit is nonsense bad faith strawman argument. You were looking for someone to fight with and went after me because it suits you to do so.

Picking fights like this with random people who agree with 98% of what you think because 2% of their opinions are different yours, is a right wingers wet dream. They love that you are doing this. They love that you would take time out of your day to attack your allies and further fracture resistance.

Come on dude, that’s another bad faith argument. The legality of setting fire to things is not determined after the fact.

You’re better than this. Try to put more thought into your comments.

That’s a pretty bad faith comment. The video of the incident showed the person pouring accelerant on a flag on the ground and starting a decent sized fire.

I support the flag burning, but I think that there is a better way to do it than pouring gas on the sidewalk and lighting it up. Doing in a metal container would be much more responsible.

So I get that the act of burning the flag is protected speech, but surely the act of setting a fire on public property is a crime regardless?

I would think burning flags is only ok on a place where burning other things is ok.
