I have yet to see a "gently caress you liberal snowflake" facebook poster who didn't also post stuff like "If you stomp on the flag, I'll stomp on your face," or start crying about football players not standing for the national anthem.

I posted this on Facebook and immediately got a rant.

quote:

There is a difference between getting mad because you didn't get your way like a 2 year old and being upset about someone disrespecting the country we all share. If America is so terrible why aren't these people leaving? There is a simple solution if you hate the country. However even though I didn't vote for trump there isn't anything me or anyone else can do to change that he is in fact our president.

Your logic is flawed since there are varying degrees of the emotion required to be a snowflake. Anger or disgust are not an all or nothing proposition. I'm certain that you aren't as angered by someone cutting you off in traffic as you would be if say someone murdered your mom. Throwing a fit because you didn't get what you want is the most basic of forms of anger as opposed to having pride in your nation and not wanting someone to disrespect the symbol of that nation. Try that poo poo in the middle east or Africa. They will kill you for actions like that. So your ability to stomp on a flag is in fact on of the things that makes this nation that you are protesting by stomping on said flag one of the greatest nations in the world.

That being said it is also within the realms of freedom for a retired marine or even some civilian to punch said person for the disrespect to their fallen brothers and sisters.

Thanks guy who already forgot my deployments to the middle East and Africa. Like the lack of perspective is kinda funny to me; is he saying it's my right to punch him because I feel like HE'S a jackass?

That's actually a more sensible reply, because it implies the people won't stop you, but they would be irritated, which is a reasonable thing to say.

I've gotten most people I've engaged on the subject to back down from "it should be illegal" to "yeah, free speech, but that doesn't mean there should be no social repercussions"

Which is exactly how it should be. People SHOULD be appalled when it happens, it is a deliberately provocative act.

If you fought or died for a flag you're a knob. It's just a piece of cloth. It's what it represents is what is important, and no one can trample on that.

Well, except for Trump, so get upset about that.

Having children stand and recite a pledge to a flag as soon as they're in the education system is really weird to the rest of the civilized world, by the way. And I'm not even just talking about Deutschland.
