Burning the flag

[FAHQTOO]

Six, I understand your thought process - you think breaking the law and using violence to stop non-violence is justified and admirable if the object of your scorn is someone who doesn't share your ideals. I don't agree, but thanks for explaining it clearly.

I hope if you are ever in a situation to act on those stated beliefs, you make sure there are no witnesses or surveillance cams and you have a good idea of the health of the person whom you choose to assault. I'm not so sure the people who would be shaking your hand would have any power/motivation to circumvent the law and protect you from an assault or manslaughter conviction, nor a costly civil suit - whether you think losing your freedoms or possessions is worth beating some ass or not.

Rough translation.

“I disagree with you completely six but of course I would never actually say that to you. I hope if you choose to illegally assault someone who legally burns the flag you are smart enough to get away with it. Because I make a habit of patronising people I fundamentally disagree with. I respect your view even though I think you are talking out of your arsehole but I don't have the bravery to say so. Please continue to like me!”

I think hotdog might be in advertising or marketing “mission in life - peoples perceptions of me and the control of such”

Let's face it everyone thinks hotdog is nice! Cinnamon and aussie are crazy with their professional experiences of physical and mental health, they know nothing! The soup chickens and losers gang together and know better than those crazy people with professional experience and training know of course.

Cinnamon he's crazy with his two degrees and life as a professional sportsman what a tool! I know more as a domestic soup chicken with an orca fat husband and 3 hyperactive retard kids.

Yep...you're both coo-coo for cocoa puffs.

You work with the crazies, because normal people wouldn't want to be around you for longer than 5 mins IRL.

The crazies don't recognize you're crazy...normal people do.

The crazies don't recognize you're crazy...normal people do.

Yes it's as simple as that. These highly qualified multi-disciplinary teams that we work with are not relevant. All we deal with are mentally ill, no one else. You really have no insight or idea what you are talking about and I am highly embarrassed for you. I will be finished this Masters degree any year now!

I will be finished this Masters degree any year now!

Better you should be embarrassed for yourself. Your Masters...if you ever get it, will make you no less crazy, crazy lady.

To me it's pretty simple.

If you're willing to fight for something, in this case the U.S., you're also willing to fight those that would burn, deface, etc. a symbol that represents what you hold most dear.

People that are willing to beat someone up over it feel it's WORTH it to them.

Too bad for anyone who doesn't understand.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with flag burning? But you are right though, no one gives a damn about your professional experiences with fellow nut fucks. It doesn't impress anyone. You ride the bus with perverts because your junk car is broke down and Aussie's dishwasher is the size of a toaster. Your two degrees and life as a " professional sportsman" have landed you straight in Loserville, my fat friend.

Try taking any of these losers urns, smashing them on the sidewalk and piss on the ashes of their loved ones and see if they just sit back and say "Oh, THATS O.K." and see how far you get when it gets a bit more personal.

My gorgeous dishwasher is still broken. We had to wash the dishes by hand last night. Still trying to get a technician. Who do you have to sleep with around here?

Hey Quincy...........reach your hand under the thing and make sure the motor is plugged in, they are known for coming loose during shipping if its new.

My next door neighbour is a refrigerator technician. He came over yesterday and had a look at it. He said he thinks it's the pump. It's not draining the water. I rang a guy today, I am waiting for him to ring me back. I hope I can get it fixed today or tomorrow. I think expecting it today would be too much.

[Maggot]

Is it outta the cabinet space? All the stuff is under it so you have to pull it out and lean it back to see the motor, pump etc. Sometimes that means messing with the trim usually but all that stuff can be tested once its out and leaned back.

A continuity test will tell if power is even there or the circuit is blocked by a relay or something stupid like a bad switch. Username knows this stuff like the back of Bigfoots hand.

Brilliant, CN.

See how I directly said what you claim that I'd never say? See it there in red, where you quoted me? I think the point of my second paragraph was clear, though not to you. It wasn't directed at you, so no matter.

You're acting a fool here.

Six doesn't need to toss out clever remarks about my "sweaty anus" or third grade derivatives of my username to effectively express his disagreement with me, nor do I with him.

He and I have disagreed strongly before this exchange, and since - our perspectives differ quite frequently. I suspect that's no secret to anyone - except you, apparently.

I don't feel personally attacked when he or someone challenges my point. Six doesn't seem to either. I don't sit around worrying about who thinks I'm nice and refraining from expressing dissenting opinions so that people will like me; I'd guess that those with comprehension skills don't perceive me as a wallflower in that regard. Based on his posts, I seriously doubt that Six curtails his true opinions in hopes of being crowned "most popular" either.

We're all different and do our own things. Personally, I rarely dislike people solely based on differences of opinion. Most of us seem to like the diversity in perspectives, communication, and mocking styles here and don't bitch, spaz, and attempt to position ourselves as misunderstood and under-appreciated victims when we're challenged or mocked. I don't know what compels you to do so. But, don't go changing - it's great mock fodder.

You're wrong about my career, btw. I know a little bit about a lot of members here having read thousands of posts over the last couple of years. I can tell you that you're also wrong in assuming that you and aussie are the only two members whose paid work involves aiding others, and in your assumption that your education levels are extraordinary here. You're just the ones who feel the need to point those things out repeatedly in debate as if it they somehow make you immune to being called out when you're pouring on the bullshit or struggling to make a rational argument. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that immunity to be granted.

Like you are speaking another language. I have no idea about any of it. I know whatever it was it was too big for my neighbour to go messing with. So the professionals have just rung and said they are coming on Thursday morning.

I am currently at University full time this semester and not at work, my scholarship paying for me at the moment. 'you're just the ones who feel the need'. What a huge load of crap. I don't feel no need to do nothing. Don't put words in my mouth and don't project shit onto me that aint true. HoTD you are full of shit. How academic is that for ya? Put a sock in it.

Sure thing, aussie.

I've always thought it was great that you're continuing your education and I've made that clear. It's something to be proud of.

But, you're full of crap if you're trying to tell me that you don't toss out "academic" and your education and your expertise and...quite a bit to try and validate yourself in a losing argument. The posts are all over the board. CN brought up the point about his and your education levels; I addressed it honestly.

I sure do hope that you don't think me any less nice for stating the obvious.

No one else cares enough to tell you this so I will -

All your presumptions are wrong.

[Duchess]

I think I made an oops.

[HairOfTheDog]

What did you do?

[Duchess]

Presumptions & wrong are the same thing. I thought I was redundant.
