    I agree that it would've been a mistake to pass the amendment. I even said so in my post. I was merely commenting about the "it's just cloth" argument.

    Again, I agree that it should be legal. I don't know who you're arguing with here.

    The arrangement of stars and stripes on the flag is such that it is impossible to urinate or defacate on it.

    Especially after a six pack. You try to aim at the flag, but the stars and stripes start to swirl together and you become dizzy. Eventually, you wind up peeing on the sidewalk.

    :D

    the thing that it stands for is far more significant than the symbol, itself.

    Senate should pass an amendment that no one should critisize the president because he/she represents the US.

    Kinda like how China runs? Just throw them in prison or kill 'em off if they criticize the government.

    I think your sarcasm meter is broke. Well, hopefully that is the case.

    Just because there is no official law doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

    Just because someone is put in jail known for his political stance not in favor of the government doesn't mean he is charged for the said "crime."
