The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

1) Agree that burning the pride flag is protected speech under the Constitution to the exact same degree as burning the American flag; and
2) Despise the message you are attempting to convey by burning the pride flag.

That's what we think would happen. What do you think would happen?


Thank you. The rest of the board rarely states anything clearly and unambiguously. As you're demonstrating, it's not that hard.

As for what I think will happen, it will be a spectrum. Some communities would act on your #2. Others will understand the equivalencies of the acts.

Some localities, though, don't agree that messing with the pride flag is protected speech.
