I fully understand the power of symbolism as well as the dangers it can present. So does this little girl and her family. So too did the victims of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, FDR and countless others. A ring between two people has no comparison to a national symbol.Symbols matter? Only to the symbol minded.Sheeple: Anybody who pisses on the Murican flag is being disrespectful of our military who died for her right to piss on the Murican flag.
Me: Huh? They died for her "right" but wouldn't want her to exercise her right? I guess if those soldiers only want us to exercise certain rights they oughta stop fighting and dying and come on home, otherwise they are doing shit all wrong.
She has every right to be a total moron and urinate on the flag, just like others have every right to be outraged and appalled by her.
And the flag represents more than our military. It represents out people, our history, our ideals, our culture. So when she urinates on the flag, she urinates on all of us and what we stand for.
I didn't get wet, did you?
The only thing this little girl hurt was the sensitivities of a bunch of pussies. Cowards who are afraid to think for themselves or they just might be pissing on some flags themselves.
Symbols matter.
She was being extremely disrespectful towards the people the flag represents.
It shows a lack of intelligence that she chose to protest in this manner.
It is good to disrespect the ideas and beliefs of tyrants and fools from time to time. Sometime that is what it takes to put them on notice and make them think.
An act rarely shows a lack of intelligence. This girl was simply showing (in my opinion) contempt for an empire that has grown to big and to controling to not be addressed and that was her way of addressing it. I think she showed extreme courage in what she did as I am sure she knew she would be hated for it by you flag worshiping statists who never question the authority of your government.
Symbols matter to most people. For example, most women want a ring from their man when they propose to them. If one doesn't understand the power of symbolism, one lacks intelligence.
That woman urinating on the flag was merely an act of self-gratification meant to appeal to a narrow slice of outcasts and extremists. It's not meant to have any meaningful impact. It's meant to offend most Americans. And since it offends most Americans, it merely hardens most Americans' attitudes towards whatever she is protesting.
The only thing you or I know about her reasons for pissing on that piece of cloth are her words from the videio: ‘F*** your nationalism. F*** your country. F*** your stupid f****** flag’.
We can only assume anything beyond that.
It doesn't matter if she "hardens most Americans' attitudes". What she accomplished was discussion between people who agree with her (me) and people who don't agree with her (you). And unfortunately for you (and those like you) I have the winning hand. I already know your argument because I once believed as you do.
