Protected speech bitches.
Edit: let me clarify, as someone who has served under that flag I fully support people's right to burn it to show their frustrations with our system. Burning the flag is a very powerful statement and in an ideal world we would find out why the flag is being burnt and attempt to address the grievance though I doubt that actually happens.
Same here. I served for a lot of self serving reasons, but I also served for our ideals. Speech was one of em.
I never enjoy seeing it though.
Maybe add a comma after "protected speech", I understood it as you saying that these are people abusing free speech.
I fully agree with you
Yeah nothing will happen. We've had a lot of marches and protests looking for positive, meaningful changes that amounted to fuck all in this country.
I mean, that's going a bit far. Improvement to America maybe. I guarantee we ain't going anywhere for a while yet.
Removed. This is not the community for this type of shit.
And butter sauce
somebody's entirely missing the point...
Americans are hilarious 😂
Fuck off.
