3. Tell them to read the article
flag burning is a ritual of retirement for old flags. Explain that to them.

His flag got raggedy and so a couple of weeks ago he put it out in the trash. :mad:

4. Why didn't you tell them to read the article?
If they had, they'd have known that the picture was of flags being retired. WHY DON'T YOU EDUCATE THEM?!?!?!

7. That might be the most ignorant thing I've read on this site.
That is saying A LOT these days...

11. Thank God they turned the link down
We don't need anymore people here who make up their opinions without knowing the facts.

6. I was shocked at the pic as well...
I support flag burning too! (free speech, as long as they don't burn up a village or forest in the process.)

I did read the text underneath to see what their point was.

But I'm an intellectual, I'm supposed to do that sort of thing.

Not all do. Some would get offended and go elsewhere without reading or learning.

I agree with you utterly about getting that pic changed ASAP.

12. NO, I am sick of pandering to the uneducated
Educate your friends or get new friends. Don't expect everyone to join the ranks of the dumbunnies because you and your friends are holding a convention.
