Bill: Flag Desecration Act 3899
Details
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3900
Description[?]:
Currently, the national flag may not be desecrated or dishonoured. We believe that this strongly hinders freedom of speech and expression, freedom of speech and expression works both ways, we may not always like what people have a say or state but we should not be stopping them from these things, and burning a flag is surely something we should leave our government out of. It could also be more beneficial to us too, as people who burn flags are statistically more likely to belong to terrorist organisations or to be/become criminals, thus burning the flag is a good indicator and could actually serve in our favour. |

Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
