[QUOTE="Schweddy, post: 2607604, member: 61731"] I find it interesting how many "controversial" topics get locked on this forum and yet, you [USER=22662]@bbsam[/USER] post and comment about one of the most controversial issues in America. And for some time, like 100+ years. And much more intense lately with social media and young movements. "Easy way out" is exactly right, especially considering the various US militaristic ideals Fred borrowed. How do we value "made in America" with our free Flag flown but not have a problem with people desecrating it instead of finding appropriate avenues of communication? At what depth do the issues span regarding bad communication? Lack of leadership and mentoring on so many levels? Corporate and government greed on so many levels? He will likely be fired, for many good reasons above, but I commend him for taking a stand. Albeit some of his energized actions and language. I'll assume he served in our military and devoted his life to protecting our freedom and our Flag. For that I am very grateful. How do companies say that they don't discriminate veterans? Do they truly follow the meaning of their service? "Thanks for protecting our flag, but here at home it really doesn't mean much and you cannot protect it in such situations." Extremely long read, but interesting: [URL="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/zorn/ct-the-one-in-which-i-debated-a-law-professor-about-flag-burning-20161129-column.html"]The one in which I debated a law professor about flag burning[/URL] [/QUOTE]
