Burning Question
There's been in recent years a lot of talk about burning things. A couple of years ago some church leaders wanted their followers to gather Harry Potter books and other various memorabilia because, according to them they are evil and promote witchcraft and set a torch to them. They wanted to protect the youth from such a evil influence.
Sound familar? Almost same excuse the nazi's gave when they burnt the Jewish books. They wanted to protect society from the evil influence as well.
These days people burn flags. Mostly it's in "protest" of foreign countries actions, or because the other country is the enemy. But now this action as spread. People will burn their own country's flag in protest of the governments actions, or to protest against society in general, as evidence in the Decemeber problems in Sydney.
Now there's a growing movement to make flag burning illegal. Ironically some of the people pushing this movement are the same ones who advocated or supported the burning of Harry Potter.
Why? Burn Potter because they hate him. But they love the flag and the country for which it stands and therefore anyone wanting to burn it are evil and want to destory society. In english - hate this burn it, love this how dare YOU burn it.
I'm sick of this double standard. One form of protesting is acceptable but the other is not? If such a law is passed, and given the recent patronism push by the government it is most likely it will, then everything should be included. Make it illegal to burn anything in a protest, books, films, flags, everything.
But if such a law is no passed then there should be free reign on the buring. Don't like this movie, burn it. Hate the bible, burn it (that's right, had to slip that one in. Send me your hate mail and I'll ignore it).
Burn baby burn.

Everyone should burn a bible, in fact, let's have national burn a bible day where everyone gets together, each buys a bible, and burns it. Fuck christians, fuck god, fuck jesus, fuck judiasm, fuck islam, fuck allah, fuck muhammed, fuck krishna, fuck all religeons they are worthless.
