No...you're not. You'd be 'just cutting up a piece of cloth' if you took scissors to a washcloth or something, but the American flag stands for more than that. That's the point.
For example, let's say someone spray-paints a Swastika on a building. What's the big deal? It's just paint on a wall. Well, it's a huge deal because of the idea behind it.
Wow, I really missed that sublimal message. I mean, at first I just thought it was a harmless joke, and then I took another look and it was like BAM! YOU MUST CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY.
Seriously, I hate it when people try to trick me with humour whilst actually shoving their beliefs down my throat. Sneaky bastards.
I understand people being able to voice their opinions about how much the video sucks, because God knows I've said the same.
Serious time
But what's truly ridiculous (and has happened with Bieber and many others, namely teen stars) is when people tell said person to kill themselves. That is /way/ too far. I don't care what anyone says. Black said in an interview that one commenter had told her to cut her wrists and die. There's no excuse for that.
Pssh, they don't need to pick things up. Their hands have no fingers 'cause they're ready-to-use fists. Makes punching the crap out of there enemies easier, faster, and more effecient.
My 8th grade teacher told us it was an ingrained survival instinct for females to travel in packs. Less of a chance to get attacked, or raped...or something.
He was rather odd, in hindsight.
Meh, looking back, my life as a 12 year old was just a blur. Along with my time as an infant, all of second grade, and whatever the hell happened last night.
I /hate/ when people use that argument. Don't get me wrong -- there are certain things about religion I respect, so I'm not snapping just because I'm a non-believer. But I see that argument to be incredibly cowardly.
It's like saying 'Oh, I believe in God 'cause I don't want to be screwed in the afterlife.' To me, that takes away everything I respect about religious followers and dumps it down the toilet.
A teacher once held out his hand and my friend spit her gum into it, thinking he was mad she was chewing in class. Turns out he just wanted a piece of gum himself. Go figure.
...Which wasn't really what the post was talking about. But it's a cool story to me, bro.
Jimmy: "I left a million dollars in the...
"Bob: "In the what? THE WHAT, JIMMY?!"
(awkward pause)
Jimmy: "...Shit. I was supposed to be dead by now, goddammit!"
Oh, see, I read it as you sit down to pee and suddenly see this random body in your bathroom, wearing your underwear, dead.
Odd how the mind works.
Funny, whenever I'm in one of my rare moods to actually respond and continue their potassium conversation, they never answer...
What's 'burt corpses'? Are they corpses of Burt? How many dead Burts do you know?

Sokka is boomerang-sarcastic-complaining-sword guy.
...I suppose 'heart' has a better ring to it.

But that's just me.
I can only imagine you dominating as a tutor.
"What's 4*4, Jimmy?"
"...8?"
"WRONG. IT'S 16. SUCK THAT, DUMBASS.
...Isn't learning fun?"
...What the hell is going on here? You have no idea how creepy it is to read the comments if you've never heard this...poem thing before o.o
