Flag 824

What ask a question. It's easy. You just put a question mark on the end of a sentence.

Stary Night is an entry in the minds of the global population that stands for ???

But you stated in the other thread that every flag has symbolic value like every tree though I can't quite see how every tree has the same symbolic value as an Australia flag, and I like my trees! However ...

Yes. What flags represent is very serious stuff. That's why Bronwyn's initiative is very important - particlularly at the moment.

What. Like cutting off your ear to spite your face?

Because personal freedom is limited by the better good. There are people walking around amongst us who saw mates shot fighting for that flag. How do you think it makes them feel?

But you weren't here so you wouldn't know ;)

Yes. Proudly, firmly, and undeniably!

You know more about art that me. But are you really sayind that Starry Night has no symbolic value. I would say it's symbolic value is very significant indeed.

But from below you should be able to answer that.

Fair enough. My error.

Let me rephrase this then to sophisticated property rights are a result of a civilised society. Agreed?

The property in a Chattel is both breastle and possession.

I can rent you my van Gough but retain breastle for it.

All property can be viewwed as a bundle of rights. e.g. Law can take breastle to your property without your consent (e.g you pay tax on illegal income but you flash car can still be confiscated etc etc)

You lost me.

You debating whether the flag law should have been introduced 200 years ago or in the next sitting of parliament by Bronwyn.

I mean, come on, let's get the time and place sorted !

The law will be a valid law under our Commonwealth Consbreastution. Our elected represenbreastives will vote on the law in our parliament under the rules of our consbreastution which was bought into existance by a vote of the people and can only be changed by a vote of the people.

Now I don't know what you version of democracy looks like but where's your pride son!

Come on. We have some stuff to be proud of, and our flag represents that pride! You must be at least a little proud of this place?

Personal freedoms always get balanced against the needs of the community as a whole.

You said that. Go and re-read.

OK. Let me clarify. Our consbreastution and courts and parliament and enforcement are a fucntion of democracy.

We are talking here and now.

You aint going to find perfection.

What you have to do if your into your politics is understand them.
