    Thread: Burn, baby burn

    Indeed not. In fact with teachers it is the other way round. I know a few teachers I would like to be fired because they refuse to learn.

    You can't expect that much from economics teachers, they are like accounting teachers without the personality or home economics teachers but without the nice cookies.

    Well, flag burnings aside...

    wait, you're not supposed to burn ANYTHING inside class!!!! :burn:

    good choice on dismissing that teacher, Although I said that on the safety reasons...
    think for a bit if children start to play with fire "because their teacher does it too". They're still 7th graders, for sake's sake!


    now for the flag burning :
    The act of burning itself should'nt be penalised, since it's the hatred that made people burn flags that make it seem offensive to them...
    Putting it the other way, It's okay to burn things at whim, as long as it's yours..

    I despise the idea of it but it is in the 1st amendment as freedom of speech. So I see no argument at all for burning it.

    In the above quote I meant, I see no argument for banning it.
