US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

Personal question.
You are at a rally promoting Women's rights. Someone feels that to really make a point to promote their rights, an American flag should be burned, not C"V to disrespect the flag, but to promote womens' rights.

Would you light the flag on fire? 
Yes, No, or Maybe?

No moshols.

Have you lost your mind? I would light the person on fire!!!

Now if only others would give straight answers we could have an honest discussion.

IOW "FIRE the SOB's"

[ChaimMoskowitz]

IOW "FIRE the SOB's"

So you think I really meant that? How about the Presidents remark?

Do you really think he meant that?

1 - I never contradicted myself. Don't take quotes from someone else when they are not here to defend them self to me! 

Yeah yeah yeah

2 - Now for the record. I believe you should stand for the NA. If you don't IMHO that is disrespectful. Now does that mean there is never a situation where this can occur where it is not disrespectful, no.

I agree. This is a good example. A protest of any sort is not.

I guess with the face, no. Again I answer questions to have an honest discussion you on the other hand ...

Good. Now apply that to many of the other tweets etc.

I answer a question about TimT and you try to twist it as an answer to Trumps tweet? Do I have that right?

I guess you misunderstood my adverb. I meant "he" referring to the president. You can clarify your answer now if you wish.

[aygart]

Looks like they need to join DDF.

You need to clarify your question so more than just you understand it. Read my answer again and show me the "face" in Trumps tweet.

I wrote it in response to what you wrote

How about the Presidents remark?

I apologize if you misunderstood. I wasn't sure what you were referring to about the face. I thought maybe there was a face in Trumps tweet that I forgot about.

Fair enough. Yes I believe Trump meant what he said and if it was his team (I should mention his venture went bankrupt) he would fire the guy.

Now how about my simple yes or no question that is not a gotcha question.

Lets get one thing straight about respecting the flag. Ask any military person what you are to do. You stand facing the flag, remove all headdress and cover your heart with your right hand (civilians). So my question is do you follow this proper etiquette?

Honestly, I never knew that until now, and from when I was younger and watched sporting events I do not remember seeing that it was commonplace, so until now I definitely would not have. I would not remove my Yarmulka but would a baseball cap or the like.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I would not remove my Yarmulka but would a baseball cap or the like.

This is a point a was trying to make earlier. If you didn't have a yarmulke on and only a baseball cap (if that is allowed) would you remove your baseball cap?

[aygart]

It is allowed but I typically would not do that. In such a case i would not remove it.

[TimT]

Ya make sure to have 2 coverings so you can remove 1 of them

[ChaimMoskowitz]

It is allowed but I typically would not do that. In such a case i would not remove it.

Remember earlier I ask this question and you said it wasn't relevant?
I believe this is what happened but I never asked the person. He did not remove his cap because he did not have a backup. 
I did not take it as him disrespecting the flag but those around us that didn't know all the facts did.
I hope this helps you understand my current position.

I still feel that it is not relevant.
