Thanks for trying to put me down though :)

it's not a instigator of real change, just a display.

I guess were asking for ONE example (except for Texas v. Johnson) where flag burning has been an effective way of implementing public policy. Just one.

rofl.. seems to be the case in the US too. i have never seen a hammas flag on fire here but then most have no clue that hammas even has a flag.
that has nothing to do with centralization of power. USA nor Canada have really centrilized governments. USA is moving towards that stance, so it seems anyway.
not really.i think a hitler mustache looked sexy on ol' GW. lol
US military wasn't it? 'nough said.
the proper way to dispose of a US flag is to burn it actually. not kidding either.
which flag would that be?
Well in the UK the only flag your allowed to burn is the Union Jack, its considered very un PC if you burn any other flag :):):):)
rofl.. seems to be the case in the US too. i have never seen a hammas flag on fire here but then most have no clue that hammas even has a flag.
You may argue otherwise on some philosophical level, but by law they don't, and governments have been successfully sued if they caused a loss of life.

Wouldn't burning of the images of the government officials be more appropriate?

Well, I AM curious being as you have no idea what I did in the Military:)

On topic - burning flags contributes to global warming. Please recycle them in future

I worked in Great Neck, NY long time ago. School tax alone was $10K a year in late 1980's. Although admittedly, it was a kinda ritzy area.

While I could never condone the criminalization of the burning of the flag, I'm not sure I could condone the actual activity either. Freedom of Speech allows us to express our opinions and burning the flag certainly does that, but Freedom of Speech also allows us to use our words to express ourselves, to use nuance and irony and layered argument, it allows us the freedom to strive to make our voices heard more intelligently than simply setting fire to an object that means different things to many.

oh ok. well, it's kind of like pea soup although it looks kind of like bean soup. the taste is somewhere in between. i didn't have a sieve and i kind of winged it but it had the split yellow peas, smoked kielbasa and marjoram in it so it was pretty good. :)

that's wiki definition which i don't always believe. i also checked the translation from polish and yes it did say elk and deer as the definitions but i know that dictionaries can be very generalising. i have never heard moose being called elk.
so i guess i'll say 'sorry polonius.' :)

same thing but they aren't beans. when you look this up there are a bout dozen different things that are called yellow peas.
the problem isn't that it's in PL but metric. lol thanks girl.
i don't think that's always the case.. i think fasolawas is sometimes called grochowka too.. it may depend on how it was made. grochowka is also a generic name for all bean-pea soups.
you know that's one of the things they call yelow peas but i tried cooking those things and those aren't it.. they never softened up and i freaking cooked and cooked and then cooked them some more. lol
also:
i think the yellow pea is Lathyrus aphaca and not Pisum sativum

elk is not a moose.. totaly different animals. please look it up before you lecture others next time. thanks
and actually most Novaks aren't polish in the 'new' world but come from other slavic countries like czech or slovania.. most of Nowaks are polish however. the name changing didn't necessarily happen the way you described at all. i've never seen one 'phonetic' polish name here in the US. it's either the same as it was back in PL, sans the marks, or it's so completely different that it's unrecognizable as Polish. see my first comment.
