Some kids I went to highschool with tool around the country as some minor opener band now. I was in choir with half of them. I really hate their music though, so much so I have no idea what they are calling themselves these days.
Other than that I've met tons of wrestlers. They flock to small towns in the south to try to recapture their youth of living in small towns. I really hate wrestlers too. I think one actually occasionally works out at the gym I go to, but I have no idea what his name is.
I'm kind of bad at this game...

Once upon a time, I told myself it's better to be smart than lucky. Every day, the world proves me wrong a little more.

Oh, because I'm proud of my country and will defend it against anyone I don't deem worthy of living here I'm sitting on a high horse and am self-righteous? I have the right to be offended when someone defaces the symbol of our country. Yay for Freedom of Speech but burning the American Flag in front of me is offensive and we, as Americans are free to express ourselves so long as it does not offend someone. So I'm wrong in telling flag burners to gtfo because they offend me but it's okay for them to be here in America because it's their right to burn the flag?
I'm glad you don't live in this country.
What gives you the right to determine who is 'worthy' to live in 'your' country?
If you dislike this country enough to burn something as symbolic as the flag what gives you the right to be here?
If I don't like a particular restaurant I'll leave, I sure as feth am not going to burn it to the ground.
I realize you don't like the US Cheese but really, just back off. You have an issue with me loving my country than PM me about it or tell a mod you took offense. I don't care if I offend someone or not. I take offense at people defending flag burners.
I bet if I burned your nations flag you wouldn't think so highly of me either. If you didn't care than I'd question your patriotism to your own country.
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Well a restaurant is private property, and a flag is not the country.
It's more like going into a restaurant that you partially own and then burning a picture you took of the restaurant because you're angry at the management.
It's kind of stupid (what, you just hate everything about the restaurant?), but I don't think it's the kind of thing that can be outlawed (either morally or constitutionally).
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
I am quite sure this line of conversation is not going to be all that productive... but continue... I am sure we will all benefit from a bit of napalm in the face.

Well I'm of the mind flag burners don't need to be here. You won't convince me otherwise just like I won't convince CE that his view is distorted in my eyes.
This thread is already derailed enough. I think I might hear Frazzies walker tap, tap, tapping on the sidewalk.

My family only moved here a bit over 15 years ago.
Anyway, the only well-known people I've met would be a former state premier and the ABC Tasmania newsreaders.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I met the guy that played Carlton from the fresh prince of belair at a comicbook convention. He offered my and my friend to sit at his lunch table and chat. Rather nice fella. Also saw Ron pearlmen there, seemed like a jerk.
I shook hands with H Ross Perot, and met his son on another occasion.
More importantly I have been in a room the size of a house filled with silver and gold baby.

You can take offensive if I burned America, cause a flag, well its just a flag.
don't deem worthy of living here
I can only imagine what a terrible leader you are. I wouldnt let you run a library, but of course I dont have a choose, just like you dont have a choose who lives in America or not.

Finally read this thing. I'm impressed how it like, immediately derailed, and without the usual characters. Dogma, me, Sebbie, Shuma, jp400, Ahtma, johnnyH, none of us actually started it this time. Like, wow.
Wrexy I need a new icon. This will have to do for the moment.
