*flame shield up*
-_- OK, now you are taking that too literally. When I say freedom, I dont mean Anarchy-free or Liberitarian-free. If the world was a vacuum, I would be fine with those, but its not, so I mean Republic-free. I think the western world is free enough now. Its Africa and the middle-east that I was talking about. The ones suffering under dictatorships, child-soldiers (oh, look, I just remember another rage: People who hurt children [unless it is punishment]), militias that shoot first and dont even care later, sherria law (dont think I spelled that right). So to that end...
*even bigger flame shield up*
...I supported Iraq, Afganistan, and Vietnam. Just to name a few. So does my girlfriend, who thinks pretty much the same way as I do, but more "extreme." Plus, most of thoses countries mentioned also broke my "genocide" rule as well, so thier leader should be blown away on those charges alone. Now mix in that they are a dictator, I would be willing to say that not even a MOAB wouldnt be enough of what they deserve. As for my other super-rages:
If you live in America, show a little patriotism. You could move to another country sure...I bet you regret it in the first month, because what you can get away with in America, you cant elsewhere.
For respecting the military, I meant more the latter than the former, although I prefer people respect the military as an institituion as well. But I can handle them hating the US Army(tm). I CAN NOT STAND people hating the US army though. Those boys have been though hell to keep you safe, and then you go and spit on them because you didnt like the war. What happened to us?!! After WW2, soldiers came home to ticker-tape parades, military bands, people having put BILLIONS of thier own dollars into the war though War Bonds (a process I REALLY want to bring back). And now, nothing. They come home, and no one except family is waiting for them. I blame Vietnam for that, when people where waiting all right...to call them "Warmonger", "Murderers", "Baby-killers", and worse. I will NEVER!!! forgive the 'nam war protesters for that.
As for burning the American Flag, that is the downright, most unpatriotic thing to do, EVER! even in the event of protest! You want to protest the government? Hang the flag upside-down, wash it. But DO NOT burn it or stomp on it. That is not protest, thats saying you want America to be destroyed, just as you are destroying her flag. As for "its just a piece of cloth..."

Ah ha, theres the thing. What YOU find a joke and what I find a joke are two completely different things. Sure, if both people present find it funny, then its a joke. But the second both people involved do not find it a joke, it is no longer a joke, and can be taken as an insult.
