    No, they're just realists. Given how so many yanks say "freedom" every other word (particularly people that had the reaction you've had) no one should have a bad thing to say about someone walking on a piece of cloth.

Given how so many yanks say "freedom" every other word (particularly people that had the reaction you've had) no one should have a bad thing to say about someone walking on a piece of cloth.[/quote] That's a poor argument, considering people who support flag burning are just as likely to use the word "freedom" when they refer to burning the American flag as "freedom of speech".

  • It's not a poor argument at all.
