We can burn garbage in some remote areas of the rural south. You might be right about tires but somehow they always catch fire and no one gets in trouble.

And some places you can legally smoke marijuana too.

I'm pretty sure you need to be licensed in order to cremate. I've read a few news articles on people getting arrested for cremating grandma behind the shed of the family farm.

^^ I doubt the courts WILL weigh in though.

And if I burned a Bible and someone shot me, I seriously doubt they'd get off because I'd incited them/"fighting words"/whatever.

It's disrespectful to the extreme and irresponsible due to the international climate (and in Europe with their hate speech legislation it would be prosecutable I believe) but someone would have to pull something out of their asses and dress it up real pretty to make any sort of charge stick.

Civil suit, now that's a possibility - family members of those killed in the riots suing the pastor... hmm.

I doubt they will either, because I doubt any charges will be brought.

That's what makes it an interesting hypothetical.

See I'm far more intrigued by the idea of a civil suit.

I was reading some interesting opinions in the Post's On Faith about this whole issue and a lot came down to the fact that this is an American value, freedom of speech, and we should not infringe on that right and value just because others don't share it. I pretty much agree with that.

Terry Jones should follow Jon Stewart's long suggested advice - be a fucking human.

No worries, last time I said something about drug laws I was accused of wanting to strip them away entirely and the time before that I was accused of wanting to throw people in prison for life for using weed. I'm getting used to it.

You mean, throw them in prison for life while aborting a fetus every month and funneling the rest of your money (the money you're not giving to PP) into teacher's unions, right?

There's something about forced gay marriages too.
