Poll question: Burning Symbols
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 07:42 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
It is acceptable to burn a __________ if the idea strikes you as a worthwhile expression of your views or otherwise amusing, no fire laws are broken and you own it.

BONUS QUESTION: How about a copy of the Constitution?

1. Other. Acceptable? I have a problem with all of them. Allowable? Absolutely.

As an ex-librarian, the whole concept of book-burning gives me the heebie-jeebies.

2. Is slavery illegal?
For white people?

For black people?

For Mexicans?

For meat eaters?

If the person is really annoying?

4. It's been acceptable in some circles to burn crosses in parts of the South for years
...and I disapprove of that more than burning the other things you mentioned for a wide variety of reasons.

5. Yes to all.
However, just because it is acceptable doesn't mean everybody else has to shutup about it.
