ORIGINAL: Saratov They can try... and if they don't like it here, they can leave and try a country more to their likeing. Oh, your freedom is democracy at its finest: Whoever has the biggest gang so they can beat up their opponents wins. I think you're missing the idea of freedom. It's not just about freedom to do what you like, it about letting other people do what they like ... and not beating them up Saratov, Moloch, John; Lets put it this way, if it was legal to burn national flags here (and it is a jailible offence), I’d lead a charge to rescue the flag and not take a body count (No bodies + no body count. I’d hope that such actions would send a message that without a violent response, people can stand up for what they see to be right. You guys have read my profile and some of you have known me here for a while.. I will not stand idly by and watch my flag, your flag, anybody’s fucking flag being desecrated or allow the misinformed to abuse or beat up on vets or other peoples who generally cant defend themselves. I will as far as possible stay within the laws however if push comes to shove, I’ll take jail over walking away and dishonouring myself. John you know exactly my mind set in this matter. I’d ask you, would you even after all these years calmly turn you back on “sacred” things of the Corps being desecrated? We have to find the means best suited to our temperament and abilities to try to balance the matters. As far as I am concerned, we all have the right to express our feelings and ideas but we also have the responsibility to allow others the same freedoms to express theirs too.
