Boy, I'm sure making up for lack of LJ time, lately with all the spamming? I'll do tv comments tomorrow, time to inflict absolutely banal personal opinions which LJ labels as ( Read more... )
If LJ pays, I might take up flag disposal as a career. :) (I also loved the one about world... president... woman... WHAT???)
I have no idea what the state of the flag burning epidemic is in the US, to quote a ficitonal president, but the people I'm used to burning flags are The Marxist Liberation Front, skinheads and generally addlebrained stoned college dudes. I'd like to think that if I had a point to make, even against the US for some reason, I wouldn't use that method, be it only for the mental image it brings as far as I'm concerned.
I'm confused. Are you having a "Go Away and Leave Me the Fuck Alone" party, in which case, I want to come to! Or are you a voting member of the Go Away and Leave Me The Fuck Alone Party, in which case I would like to join.
I see so far there's been little controversy over those subjects. Because there's only a few really controversial ones there, like drugs, abortion and flag burning. I had no idea you burn a flag to dispose of it! Lol Makes sense though

Oh, same thing happened everywhere in the Communist gulag. I'm not much of a patriot either, I think I'm too individualistic for that. The bread thing is because it's "the body of Christ" on the one hand and on the other I think because it was such a precious commodity in agricultural societies with poor peasants that you got to see just HOW sacred it was in draught/flood years when there was none to be had. My grandma will feed the crumbles to the birds but never ever throws it away.
And this is NOT illegal.
That's because we don't have a bill of rights and the tradition of freedom. They'd get their asses sued SO fast otherwise.
Oh, I know the symbolism of the bread thing runs deep and that it must have been the same with the flag in the whole comunist block, that was just my lame attempt to explain my reasoning. I didn't say I'm not a patriot but I don't interpet it as revering the flag, more as being an active citizen, caring and voting. I'm more of a local patriot though, with my strong emotional attachment to my town and region rather than the country. It's a historical thing too of course: where I live, people have completely different history and attitude than in some other parts of Poland where I feel like we have nothing in common besides the language.
They'd get their asses sued SO fast otherwise.It's not only the poor tradition of freedom but also a belief that you don't bother the court with "trifling" stuff like this, you just deal with it on your own, simply ignoring the regulations that you find absurd. In Poland, there is no tradition of law abiding, the law is considered (of course not consciously) a set of obstacles rather than something

Spam away! I'm not going to ignore you! HA! After all those months when I was wondering where you were!
Now if only those pompous little Oxbridge asses who sit behind the editorial desk of the publications I grudgingly peruse
Not for long. They think of themselves as a caste of potentates entitled to educate the dirty masses, opine rather than report and since the advent of blogs they're headed in only one direction: bankruptcy. Very slowly, but surely.
Did we succeed in showing the men how to run a country effectively sans corruption and thuggery and underhand machinations? Erm, next question... That's what cracks me up about jihad!feminism. The idea that women make EVERYTHING better and through our Mother Gaia-like wisdom, the tides of the ocean will retreat and the planet will begin to heal itself... Oh, wait. I'm quoting Obama here. No, I'm not kidding. He was talking about himself and how he's going to heal the world through changeandhope. So I guess that answers your question. Also? He's a marxist. And an empty suit with
