No Tex, you must understand, this is nothing against the US. There is realy a lot we admire in your country (the statistics about export are a good indicator). However, it is very rude to tell someone that he is not worth an explanation. Of course it often makes the impression that a discussion was useless becuase neither side was capable to fully convince the other side. But did you ever hear anyone say: Yes, you convinced me, you are right and I was wrong!". No, this is against human nature and therefore irrealistic. But the actual purpose is to show the other side you train-of-thought. So he can learn about the other sides concpetion and the more you know of a culture the better communication will work in the future. We had a hard discussion about the "greatest warrior of all times". And even though it made the impression that I was not your opinion at all I used the time to research about your arguments and the final result was: I learned about your arguments! That is about the best result you can get. Now if someone tells me I am not worth any explanation, then it is basically a total "I give up" message. I am a member of the western world as he is, I enjoyed a good education and were brought up with good manners. If he isnt even capable to explain his point of view to me, then how is gonna make people in the Middle East understand his position (or how is he gonna understand theirs). For me Ideals are a not rules to find the perfect path to follow, but a base point from which you start, and then you combine you rules with what works in reality and you will reach the perfect solution. People that follow ideals blindy are incapable to judge (and analyse) each situation independantly and use a perfect-fit solution.

In fact it is a sign that someone is blocking all mental-doors and no argument could ever change his attitude anymore. To me this is a clear indicator that discussion is over.... Of course noone in the western world shows this way of disrespect. Except of course in case of war. I mean in 1939 there would have been nothing wrong when someone burns a Nazi-flag. In the middle East people burn flags because they are exposed to media which give a very simplified view of everything. If the US doesnt stop Israel from attacking then the US / and all its cititzen are responsible for the war against palestine. They burn the flag cause they have never learned the open-thinker way like we did. But they burn flags out of naivety and anger. This is not a reason to put someone into prison or to shoot him, cause then you wouldnt be no better! And then they would have won!

Yeah, the pictures that you posted realy showed a landscape worth defending!!!!! Anyway, regardless from a the fact what a flag realy means, I feel attacked in my position as an independant-thinker if I am told to defend a flag....! I dont defend symbols, I defend what they stand for, I defend what my heart tells me is at danger and worth defending. In WWII kids of 14 year old were sent into battles to defend so called "symbolic targets" and they ended up in the folder "useless deaths in the last days of the war" (remember the film: the bridge"?) Some people need symbols to materialise their values and morals, others dont! I dont. And maybe the example of the bible isnt so stupid: " you dont need a golden lamb to worship it and you dont need a picture of god to worship him! Worship the deed!

PRO 1 This amendment is about restoring a freedom to the people. the people's freedom to protect their flag, a freedom they enjoyed and exercised for 100 years. CON 1.1 It would do irreparable harm to the First Amendment and one of the greatest freedoms embodied within it, our freedom to protest and criticize the government. PRO 2 The first amendment protests speech not vandalism. CON 2.1 Flag burning is actually recommended by Congress when a flag gets old. (See 36 U.S.C. Sec. 176(k), which states that burning a flag is the preferred means of disposal "when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display.") Given this, the apparent intention of the flag amendment's proponents is not to keep flags from being burned but to prohibit certain viewpoints from being expressed. CON 3 Rep. Skaggs said: "We do not need to amend the Bill of Rights to show our respect for the flag. ... Our flag commands the deepest respect because it stands for a nation and community that is strong. Strong enough to tolerate diversity and to protect the rights of those expressing unpopular views, and even expressing them on some regrettable occasions in an offensive manner." CON 4 Old Glory is a symbol of freedom. Her red bars are tributes to the blood shed by the colonists who revolted against tyrannical oppression, including censorship and the inability to protest government policies. CON 5 Flag burning may destroy the flag, but an amendment to protect it would damage what it stands for. PRO 6 The American flag stands for everything we believe in and everything that soldiers long gone have fought for. No, they did not just die for the material that the flag is made out of, but rather laid down their lives for their country and what they thought was right. Haven't they been disgraced enough over the years, why is it so hard to have some respect. Yeah!

No, Tex, that with the flag wasnt supposed to be for you! No, you dont make the impression of being brainwashed, I must agree! (unfortunately!! )

So KingBest, you got me! I got no such camera, but I got a scanner, I posted a picture (two pictures gleud together because those scenery cameras didnt exist) of our house. This is an orginal spring picture (8 years old though), the wood has become much darker now, but lights up in the summer again. The balcony where I was sitting is hidden next to the chimney. But now it is dark and I had a hard time getting the comp back inside! (I know the house looks weird, but who was weird first? the house or me?)
