Re: flag burning I really couldnt give a fuck. My brother on the other hand is all for it, hes a total patriotic freak.
ppl who do this shud be sent back to where they fucking came from or set on fire which would be cheaper
typical of british politics... rather than dealing with the issue of people showing huge hostility towards occidental nations, they ban the burning of flags because that's going to stop extremism.
The government and majority of British people have made massive efforts to incorporate minorities into society. We translate official leaflets into tens of languages We maintain a medical interpreter service for tens of languages, at significant taxpayers expense Official buildings provide multi-denomination prayer facilities We provide asylum at taxpayers expense throughout the country to those who request it - we financially support those seeking asylum through their assessment phase at taxpayers expens and so and and so forth. This is not to suggest that problems don't exist, clearly they do, however the message from the top has been to promote a multicultural society, and it has encouraged this. It's typical of your argument style to blame Western governments for Islamic extremism, and to suggest they share responsibility for subsequent terrorist acts, and yet, do you think that Israel should be concentrating on dealing with the issues that lead to Palestinians/Hezbollah showing extremism, or is it just Western governments that are at fault in this respect?
You're right, I don't want it to, we've done it to death. Just felt it highlighted the obvious discrepancy. I'll leave this thread be now
If anyone hates this country enough to burn its flag in some sort of lame protest then they should just find another one! It isn't hard
if its peopl fro another country who hav moved here who are burning our flag then they shouldnt really have many contrainsts keeping them from moving to a ntion of their choosing if they hate ours so much. burnin the flag is mor than showing disgust for our government, its showing disrespect for everything/everyone in our country and our values. burning the flag should basically be burning your british passport. if they hate our country so much then why oh why dont they jsut move to a country which best fits them. queue pc brigade but you'll find most flag burners appear to be from muslim nations. they know what they can do the second words off and its preceeded by piss
I think the incident we're all talking about is the riots following the publication of the Mohammed cartoons. The British government condemned it British papers didn't print them So why they were burning our flag, and calling for the 'massacre' of those behind them etc was a little baffling. What was even more baffling was the failure of Muslim leaders to condemn the riots.
