it is illegal to burn a nz flag in nz.
so the waitangi day before last (where protest activities are fairly much compulsory) some guy pulled out a gun and shot holes in a flag. apparantly... it isn't illegal to shoot holes in a nz flag in nz
:-)
> that covers the political aspect of it for me. The religious aspect is a matter of respect, and respect is something a person shows or doesn't, but I don't think it can be enforced across borders.yeah. enforcement is hard...
but i feel sad when people really upset other people (intentionally or unintentionally whatever) and then... aren't even sorry that they did cause offense... and they persist in doing what caused offense...
and why?
the message was lost.
so what was the point?
pride?
dunno.
