The Issue
A recent anti-government rally by highly disgruntled teens has brought a previously minor issue to the fore: should people be permitted to burn New Irajinia's flag, or should it be a crime?
The Debate
"We should be able to burn the flag as a sign of protest. I say ignore those crazy red-blooded fanatics who won't let us! After all it's because we are a tolerant nation that we should allow it!" says Violet Steele, civil rights activist, while accidentally immolating many nearby protesters.
"Burning should be allowed for everything! Down with the pig cops and their repressive regime!" says well-known anarchist and arsonist Buy McAlpin, from the comfy and non-flammable confines of a prison cell. "Burn! Burn burn burn! Everything! Kyahahaha!"
"These barbarians are suggesting burning the flag of our glorious nation as if it were a piece of scrap cloth! First it's burning the flag, and before you know it, it's rebellion and anarchy!" Calvin Zhu scowls. "Flag burning should be punishable by jail terms and a good flogging!"
BURN BABY BURN
