Freedom to display

[Aethean]

They're obviously doing that to start controversy. Theres too many freedoms in this world and a lot of them should be taken away. Would probably make the world a much happier place. If they dont like Obama, then get the fuck out of the country, stop bitching, go live in a third world country so you can truly appreciate how fucking well off people are in these first world countries.

CONFEDERATE FLAG CONTROVERSY IN TAMPA FLORIDA I-75 - iReport.com
what you see behind me is a big flag up on a tall pole lol gotta love florida.

anyway I have to see that flag on my way to work everyday and that thing is huge you can see it from miles away.do I think it's fair no but hey theres nothing I can do about it it's like in kindergarden when a kid keeps making faces at you but he's not really hurting you and you go tell the teacher and she says just to ignore it thats how I feel about this stuff as long as it's not physically hurting you just ignore it there idiots anyway.

The way I see it:

It is ok for YOU to put on display, or express, or protest your beliefs, but it isn't ok for us to display ours. That is a double standard and EXTREMELY childish.

Take your avatar for example. Regardless if it offends others (for not the obvious reasons you would assume), you are allowed to keep it up because it is an expression of your beliefs.

If I were to have an avatar that says:

don't assume i'm
B I

straight pride

don't assume i'm
G A Y

Would you get offended?


Same thing with the obama sign. It is perfectly alright to express your undying devotion to the Messiah, but when WE say we don't like Obama, and we think he is ruining the country (which he is, but that is for another thread), all of a sudden we are infringing on YOUR rights to be happy.

Double standard.
Hypocritical.
And WE aren't the ignorant ones. You guys are for the above reasons.
If not ignorant, then childish.
