You'd be okay with it...Do you think the law should be okay with it? Or should the law punish the 'ass-kicker'?

Actually, the law here does recognize that provocation does exist. Its done so that someone cant just badger you into swinging on them, and then getting you put in jail for it. We'll give an example here: my buddy Josh was working stock for Kohls, and this one guy on shift decided that he was going to poke at josh, and that he subject should be his mom and his dead father.

His sentence was this: "You're just lucky your dad died, and your mom was able to marry some rich guy."

A two hit fight occurred- Josh hit him and he hit the floor. The security footage showed the guys body physically shake from the hit in the chest. Now, Kohls has a zero tolerance policy on fights, so josh lost his job, but they also fired the other guy. A cop showed up, dude tried to get josh cuffed, and the cop laid out that he provoked the fight, and thus, Josh wasn't culpable for the hit.

This is what I think is sad. Someone getting arrested for trying to save the flag from being desecrated.

Liberals are OK with trashing the American flag but aghast at burning Koran. Where does decency start/end? My belief is that as long as people keep turning the other cheek, they will continue to get slapped. It's time to stand up and fight back.

I say trash and burn both your your hearts content.

As for FaceBook, they're a private company and can do as they please, just as Jim can.

And I say respect others so long as their beliefs aren't trampling on yours. You burn MY flag in front of me and I GUARANTEE you I'll be spending another of the aforementioned nights in jail and you'll be in the emergency room. Bail is cheaper than an emergency room visit.

Maybe in minor cases where you're talking about a punch or two. The 'punishment' dealt regarding blasphemy tends to include death threats and actual deaths.

So when a muslim says 'Show me a picture of Mohammed and i GUARANTEE you I'll be spending another of the aforementioned nights in jail and you'll be in the emergency room.'
You're fine with that?
