Yes, but you made a point of saying that burning the flag is freedom of speech while stating that the other two is burning a holy book and you'll go to hell - quite easy to mistake that for support for banning the act.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH - IS WHEN YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS WITHOUT BEING AN IDIOT AND RESPECTING OTHERS PEOPLES VALUES.
What are you on about? In freedom of speech you can disprect other people's values and can be an idiot, but not violently. Stay out of this thread, as in the other thread sasha called you a "fucking annoying troll, or are you really that stupid??" and i think it is the latter.

Calling one of the acts freedom of speech, and the other two acts which will get you into hell shows some pretty extreme views ;)

if you really do want to burn a flag, do it at a private place, not in a public area. perhaps in ur backyard, or in the garage. but no, not in a park, or in a shopping centre, let alone at uni. We have to be concious about many people who believe in what values and ideals that flag stands for.

But you see, this defeats the whole purpose because the people doing it want to shove themselves in the public eye and draw attention to themselves, like omg i can light a match and look what i can do burn stuff and aint no-one gonna stop me. They need to get over the attitude already.

if they like burning flags so much, maybe we can send the flag burners to Saudi Arabia or Iran and get them to burn those country's flags over there, and then we'll see if they like burning flags so much.

"Would you apologise if one of your ancestors hurt someone in the past? Meaning would you apologise to that person's ancestor? If you would why? It was not your mistake, you shouldn't have o apologise for something you did not do. Take responsibility for your own actions - not some one else's ." Why do people like you try to forget or not care about such incidents, yet continue to glorify events like Anzacx, etc.??

What are you spitting out \Mary Maclese's speech. Before you do that, actually understand it properly. In her speech she refers to acts of freedom ofspeech leads to terrorr etc. Burning a flag doesn't cause terror or an unsafe enviornment if done properly. It is the basic freedom of speech it represents, maybe people like you take it out of context and think it's disrespecting Australia., well too bad for you.
How can burning a national flag be a freedom of speech? Actually how can it? Because you have the right to? Would you go burn the coat of arms? Is that freedom of speech? I really would like to know how people like you can think that burning a flag can be freedom of speech. Have your parents brought you up to hate the government, hate what this country gives you?

I do not attempt to forget what occurred in the past, I just recognise that it IS in the past, and at some point we have to move on and better ourselves and our society. Why are you criticising the Anzacs? I don't think we glorify them in such, we may look up to them because they had the bravery to actually fight for what they believed in, and they protected this nation? They fought for this country and the fought for the freedoms you so easily take for granted.

I have no idea who Mary Maclease is, and I wasn't "spitting out" her speech. I was simply trying to state my point. If you were referring to the Irish President her name is McAleese, not Maclease.

It is a sad indication of where today's society is headed when Australia has youths like you who don't truly understand and respect Australia and it's people.

ah what can you do...*shake his head* what can u do? what message does flag burning actually give? OH wow look! freedom of speech! yes, yes, public onlookers can see that, but is it necessarily to have to go around burning flags to demonstrate your PRIVELIGED right to freedom of speech? if you really do hate the government, speak or write to your local MP about it, or submit an article for the 'opinions' column in major newspapers.

oh, as a side note, SOME people - and i only say SOME people - classify flag burning as arson, and could probably take you to court on the case of public nuisance.

now, the final message: if you really want to burn a flag, do it in ur own private place. YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS STILL UPHELD AND EXERCISED.
