People try to burn the American flag, Fedex worker runs in to save the flag - General

[QUOTE=Doom14;51736920]Not that I speak for service members, nor am I one, but I imagine if you're the type to actively put yourself in actual combat to serve your country - you'd be a little more than miffed that some sheltered airheads living in that same country are burning its flag because their feelings are hurt and they don't know how to constructively/cooperatively express it.[/QUOTE] under that description, he might not be less delusional than the ones burning a symbol in a random street to dethrone the new facist overlord.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;51737749]Technically correct What I don't get are the people who get SO ANGRY over it and step in to prevent it. You want to defend the flag and what it stands for? What does it really stand for though? The fact that in our entire history there hasn't been a time where a group of people had less (or none at all) rights than others? That people die simply because they don't have the money for something that is FREE in EVERY first world country? A voting system that's essentially pointless? A government that lets corporations write the fucking laws? (ISPs and telecommunication laws for example) In theory the flag stands for something great, but in practice, for now, it's bullshit Once upon a time the American Flag was a great symbol. But now when I look at it all I see is Greed and a government that shelters itself from the public[/QUOTE] I think you miss the point that people fight against burning of the flag because to them it represents what they themselves believe in and a USA that they believe in and sets their hopes to, and it is not the one you see.

Deliver it to Starpluck. Maybe he'll eat it.

[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;51736690]Burning the flag or committing treason?[/QUOTE] Yes

[QUOTE=nox;51739635]"[I]This flag represents freedom, however I will oppress those who are using that freedom to show disapproval of their government by burning said flag[/I]."[/QUOTE] Disapproval being that they just want to see the country burn; I know it's not always the intent, but that's the symbolism I get out of it, and is why I personally oppose it.

[QUOTE=Tudd;51736597] Curious on how this will effect his job.[/QUOTE] Bad news, he wasn't being promoted or even getting a decent pay raise Good news, he is keeping his job [media]https://twitter.com/FedEx/status/825365467548225537[/media] Really tempted to create a Twitter and let them know they made the right call.

[QUOTE=nox;51739635]"[I]This flag represents freedom, however I will oppress those who are using that freedom to show disapproval of their government by burning said flag[/I]."[/QUOTE] Are you saying every single person who don't have your view think that way about it?

Why not ask why they're burning the flag rather than have some dumbshit regressive debate over who's the most righteous?

[QUOTE=DrCactus;51736625]Burning the flag isn't treason. Both parties seem pretty bad in this video.[/QUOTE] It's pretty obvious he only blurted that out under pressure of a group of people. I'm sure he's aware it isn't treason, but couldn't quite think of a word on the spot like that. Trust me, it's in my name.
