sounds like opinion disguised as fact.
try this:

If it helps, I personally do not give a shit about the flag... I don't own one, never flown one, never have and never will. I personally think it's stupid...
HOWEVER, I think it is outright fucking retarded to try and tell groups of people that they can't use it or deem it offensive based on opinion over facts.
I think for some people it's historical, I can understand both sides but again, do we even consider the endgame? What does this set in motion in regards to freedom of expression and our rights?
I'd rather ban the American flag personally, it was flown in drone strikes by our Democratic president that resulted on tons of innocent deaths of middle eastern kids. These are atrocities that happened during our lifetime that we should have more of a personal feeling towards.
Too soon?
