Same with the British. I just think it is just as fascistic to be telling people what they can and cannot believe. Just as long as you don't turn violent (funny how the state can never resist that temptation), then you should be able to express yourself. Where does it lead to? Banning books? Punk rock records? People shouldn't so readily consent to the loss of expression. If somebody wants to be such a turd that they need to associate with a Nazi flag, then that person should be the billy no mates of the street. You don't need to ban things in order to change attitudes.
I burn the South Korean flag everyday in protest of its genocide of Christians, marching them off that cliff and what not.
