ok i went and saw strike anywhere last night and one of my buddy's friends came along. this guy is a total skid. anyways, we get to talking and i find out the cops are lookin for this guy for burning an american flag at a prostest in ottawa the other day. now im all for freedom of speech but isn't the protest supposed to be about being against the bush adimistration and not against a country as a whole? if a canadian politician did something really fucked up and someone burned a canadian flag i'd be out for blood! does anyone else see a problem with this?

as i see it, flag burning is a symbolic gesture. i don't really agree with it personally, but i can see why people feel the need to go about doing it.

I don't see how protestors get off...ok, burning a flag to protest war and want peace isn't going to do anything but piss people off and cause more violence. Same with protestors starting riots to support peace? Who are these people? They're so fuckin stupid!

you can go to a pro-war protest and interview people and put together a video with the same dumb comments I'm sure. just as it is fun to jump on the protest bandwagon and march around in the streets, there are just as many die-hard republicans who will do the opposite of whatever the supposed hippies do, just because. you'll find tons of ignorant people (just as on this site) who want to link saddam with september 11th and al-Qaeda, when even president bush will tell you they haven't found any real connection.

I agree that many people are basing their point of view on the war from a very ignorant and uneducated perspective. If people are going to publicly take a stance on either side I recommend that they first educate themselves on the situation and the history of it and situations similar to it.
