In this case if they tell you to NOT to knock down a hornet's nest, because it will land in your neighbor's yard, and you do it anyway, to show how evil the hornets are, and your neighbors get hurt, then you display questionable judgment.  Anyhow, my initial point of bringing that up was to show, shoot, maybe the French do have cause.  Might as well keep them out so that guys don't end up harming people in their country because someone with questionable judgment does something.

Analogies aren't really your strong suit.

The analogy I gave last is appropriate here.  The pastor wanted to be able to get attention by doing that, so he could expose Islam as something horrible.  He gets a lot of media attention, and then decides to burn the Qu'ran.  He has a right to in America, as a freedom of expression, the same way that people have a right to burn flags.  However, it is recommended people think about what may happen if it is done.  If you know a mob is going to act like a bunch of angry hornets, if you say or do something, and someone gets hurt, it is important to think about whether to do it or not.
