Just because you or I don't get the inclination to piss on a flag in order to show you hate a state or country, doesn't mean others don't. Again, her whole point was to show her freedom of expression (a tenet in our constitution). So even though you have the right to believe she should be deported, she has the right to piss on the flag...as revolting as that act is. The country, on the other hand, doesn't have the right to carry out a deportation for such an act, because it would be violating its own constitution which was built to preserve basic human freedoms (that includes pissing on flags, much to the disgust of most people including myself). If you feel that way, that's up to you, but I am personally glad the country can't deport people for such acts, because the act really hurts nobody aside from offending people (which every group does on one occassion or another be it liberal, conservative, black, white, rich, poor). I'm glad people can't get kicked out of the country for being offensive. I'm glad people can actually have a voice. And I am glad people can have these discussions without fear of interference from the state like they might if they lived in China or Russia. *edited for wrong word usage |
And what was the whole "voice" pissing on the flag gave her, outside of showing she's a pretty shitty person to piss on a symbol which allows her opportunities most other countries don't?
