No, I just throw them in a bonfire for a second, then I take it out and hurl it into a pond. I've done it to the American one tons of times.

No. I am more of an atheist than an Islamic. Also, I am not a terrorist; I am simply a protester/revolutionary who does the dirty work, including burning flags.

Oh I've had that link there for a while. In general links in peoples sigs have nothing to do with the topic. I think the article in my sig is very interesting and by the way it talks about much more then "being nice to animals." but you probably did not read that far.

I've never seen a nation that was not founded on aggressive violence and support of hierarchy. Can you show me one? This topic is about what nation you would defend in real life. Not about what you don't like about other peoples sigs.


So your saying that society is inherently authoritarian and oppressive?

You sound like a Randroid....


What do you have against me? Seriously? All I'm really saying is that I would defend people but I would defend no nation. In other words I support human rights fully and I don't have allot of respect for artificial constructs like "nations." Especially if said nation starts going around and killing people.


I've never seen a nation that was not founded on aggressive violence and support of hierarchy.


And there has never been a society that hasn't been founded this way either, so be extention, your saying that society is inherently authoritarian and oppressive. Which does sound like a randoid tantrum.


Where does Rand say such a thing about society anyway?

For example:

If the UK invaded France, and the French turned round and kicked the shit out of the UK - the US shouldn't step in to support the UK.

They should point, smirk, and say, "well, you did kinda ask for that".

France? Fight?

Slaps himself and rubs eyes again*

France... fight....?

The US didn't help Britain when the Falklands were invaded. Though since we (Britain) have now done that Iraq errand for the US twise, I'd imagine that we'd now have enough 'US Ally' points to warrant military assistance from them. :)

Lurking NSG since 2005
Economic Left/Right: -2.62, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

I would support most countries, but I think I would support Luxembourg the most. We kind of took half their territorry a while back, we owe it to them. Plus we're already working together like a siamese twin, a midget attached to a gnome but still a siamese twin.

That sounds fun. We could make flag burning into an international dance. Get professional dancers spinning around from all countries with burning flags.

It could become an Olympic sport :)

Please distinguish the two.


Would you hate Israel because it's very existance (and total pwnage of A-rab states) defies your religious text (I'd have harsher terms such as rag, but I think that's against the rules) commonly known today as the Quran?


No. Don't be a discriminative douche.
