Agent09, get real. Your avatar is offensive enough, I wouldn't tolerate any countrys flag being burned and shown in a picture here but I leave that for mods to decide and I trust their judgement.

No thats a common mistake. You see I'm not the one who Burnt that flag in the first place. secondly I got that picture from here http://www.theodora.com/flags/new8/flag_burning_1.html If you could notice there are a lot of pictures there which shows civilians burning U.S. flags. the question is why? Why are there so many incidents or revolts that includes U.S. flag burning? well you can answer that by yourselves its just a common sense.

No mistake, you posted it. Personally, I think you're trolling...

Ofocurse not. But the Truth that I shouldn’t be the one to be blamed on those burnt flags. Its this simple. I saw it. I upload it on my profile and thats it. Its been there on the web for a long time. Also the person who burnt that U.S. flag is not me so why blame me?

My avatar shows much of my character. I would think no different of yours, as it is what will be used to identify you. The blame is in the posting, and the intent behind it.

I am not the one to decide if your avatar and attitude are against the rules. The Admins of this board are. THEY make the rules here. This board is not subject to the "rules" of ANY country. Posting here is a privilege not a right or a freedom.
Bear that carefully in mind.

Since somebody (since banned) has already had 2 screen names at the same time, I'm not particularly interested in the join date for your screen name.

I can blame you for posting such an offensive material.

You are pathetic, the evidence is all around you that free men are the greatest wealth producers and the happiest men on Earth, yet you beg to be enslaved.

At least you have the freedom to burn flags here. I'd like to see what would happen to you if you did the same in the USSR...

Yes agreed.
He spoke of freedom in an earlier post...not that he had a clue what he was talking about.

In THIS country, you have the freedom to burn the flag in protest. It's not a really bright idea.
However, the police, the FBI or members of the Secret Service would not be arresting you and taking you away to something like Lubyanka. It's not against the law.

Although it IS a good way to get yourself stomped into the pavement by passers-by if you chose the wrong location.
