Flag burning should be illegal on public property on U.S. soil without being sanctioned by gov't.

By "flag burning," I mean the action of burning (setting fire to) an American flag. http://www.thegio.net/kazakhstan/american-flag.jpg By "illegal," I mean "against the law." By "public property," I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_property By "U.S. soil," I mean any location within the boundaries of any of the fifty States.

Last week under Obamas leadership 22 men women and children were murdered by the US military. http://www.rferl.org/Content/US_Military_Says_Kills_15_Afghanistan_Militants/1374170.html With this said we are losing the war in Afghanistan and should pull out immediately to prevent the loss of anymore innocent life.

It speaks for America's youth that a candidate can get support by merely including the word "love" on his banners in a semi-clever way and name dropping websites like google and youtube. Are my peers so impressionable? Or is it just that I live in red state Arizona? This is le...

On balance, the pen is mightier than the sword.

Rob1Billion
Yraelz

The pen is mightier than the sword. This maxim was created to explain how the written word has much more impact on humanity than does warfare. For example, I will use the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. The Bible and U.S. Constitution were both created with the pen. The Bible has had effects on humanity that are quite beyond measure. The creation of Christianity (a direct result of the writing of the Bible) has had such pronounced effects on humanity that I cannot even begin to list th...
