So how do you find a balance between the 2 'rights'? That guy should have called the ACLU and went to a higher court. Unless the flag was made out of the same material as plastic grocery bags it wouldn't be making that much noise in the wind. I that article had been posted here I would have been up in arms about it.

ACLU Position on Gun Rights

You'd be surprised how much noise a flag can make flapping in the wind, not to mention the clips on the rope banging against a steel flagpole... Brent

So basically Moby they take a leftist position on the ammendment. They used to be a great organization. Now they are run by extreme leftists that are more interested in protecting the 'rights' of groups like Nambla, while ignoring the rights of the majority. They pick and choose what rights they want to support based on whether or not the case fits with their left-leaning agenda.

I agree, flags flapping in the wind can be really noisy, but to force him to take it down? I think that's a bit much. It can't be that windy every single day.

You think he's the only one who thinks that statement is true? Do you think he's changing the way people think about Bush? Or does it just bother you that someone would wear that and, therefore, shouldn't be allowed to? Get over it already. :rolleyes:

I guess the only reason they aren't banned are because nobody nowadays know who Che Guevara is.

We read about it in black and white every day. It is hardly an opinion.

:rolleyes: [/b]lol, I'm ignorant? Don't you prove your own ignorance by you accusing me of being ignorant? Or do you not know what ignorant means? Homosexuals do in fact spread disease, and they are in fact responsible for the spread of aids. Obviously they are not the only vector for aids, but they are largely responsible for it. Additionally, the statement is further correct because homos do indeed carry and spread disease. Straight people can also spread and carry disease, but that is no the issue at hand. So, maybe "insensitive" or "asshole" would have been a better insult for you to make towards me? Regardless, try to use your brain before insulting me :-)

Are you going to tell everyone out there in XOC Land that homos do not spread any diseases? Is that the statement you are making? A simple yes or no to both questions will suffice. Oh yeah, this one's for you.....
