Would you burn the American flag on TV for an A in the class?
    #8996226 - 09/27/08 10:51 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

That's the proposal from one of my teachers.  It's not that he hates American, he just wants to see what will happen.

Hmm getting tracked down and shot by some redneck who saw me on the TV, but getting an automatic A in the class...

Or stay alive and have the possibility to still get an A if I work hard enough :shrug:

I don't know.

Yes. Its very American to do whatever the fuck you want to, in order to get whatever the fuck you want. Therefore in this situation, burning the American flag is the most American thing you can do!

I'm reminded of when I went to D.C. and was visiting all the monuments and things. They had little ropes and railings everywhere, but the path you were supposed to take to get the monuments was too long of a walk. I have never felt more American than when I hopped those little railing and strode across the grass all like "Fuck it, I'm an American. We don't give a fuck!"

I'd do it as long as my name wasn't exposed. And besides, the Supreme Court has already ruled the act of flag burning to be constitutionally protected by our right to free speech.

Burn that fucker.

Problem is actually getting on tv. And if i did, and they wanted to interview me about my actions, i'd just say that my teacher told me to do it for class, so all further questions/threats should be aimed at him.

The main proposal was suggested when the Today Show showed up to Williamsburg, VA some 20 miles away.  When the camera pans to the stupid screaming fans, you light the American flag on fire.  No one did it but the offer still stands.

I think it'd be easier to do if you got a group of classmates together. Its easier to go through with shit like this in groups.

And what class is this for? Teacher sounds pretty cool.

True, then everyone would get an A, lol.
He's a lawyer and the class is Law Comm.

Yeah, he's a cool guy but he's got some fucked up shit happening in his life.  His 9 year old son is dying from a brain tumor.  I'm serious.

Good thinking. Burning a flag on youtube is likely to lead to tv publicity anyway.

I doubt any publicity would come from that.  Burning a flag in private then posting it on youtube is too easy.  Doing it on national (or local) TV and having people see it by surprise is a lot different.

why not take it a step further i mean your already setting it on fire sheesh

why not dress up like a nazi and stomp it out with your boots

wipe your ass with it

use it as a handkerchief or make shift bib.

tie it around your head but put little eye holes in it

sew it to a klu klux clan robe

die it white and use it as a surrender flag

feed it to moths

clean off the dust from your tv with it

yea you should at least get a B for doing any of these things

Its not the burning of the cloth. Its the disrespecting of the symbol of everything that we as Americans are proud to be.

That being said, and after thinking about it for a while, I could probably do it, but it would honestly be difficult for me.

Yeah, I'd do it, and I'm one patriotic motherfucker. A flag is just a piece of cloth with some colors. It means nothing. Symbolism, blah blah blah. I don't care, you can have an American flag and not appreciate shit.

Ironically, the class I have before this one is about Russian Communism.  While not technically against communism, we just learn about it.  We were assigned the book "Journey Into the Whirlwind" which is an auto-biography horror story about Russian communism and all of their detainment camps/jails.  If you didn’t agree with Stalin you either got thrown in jail or death, really.

Describing Stalin accurately doesn't negate any of the rampant liberalism on college campuses.  I just pretend Im an Obama supporter, keep my head down and do my homework.

Okay, I went off topic.  Back on topic, this teacher is an Obama supporter, he says it freely and he supports us to argue against him in his political beliefs.  I do that all the time.  He's not trying to change our opinions but just open up political discourse.  That's what this class is about

In all reality I would anonymously complain to the dean.  I pay thousands of dollars for education.  I dont want this process circumvented by some trivial act, regardless of the political intent.  Nobodies gonna learn anything by watching any flag burn, or by burning a flag.  Its an overly trite and sophomoric attempt to be edgy and push the line, does real university level education a disservice.  It just a circle jerk of open mindedness, not education.
