The money we used to buy the truck was the part I was suppose to take for room and board and money that he can do with what ever he wishes. Due to my son's Autism he will never be able to hold down a job. The truck was what he wanted so I let him have it. Since then I do take out my portion for room and board and the rest goes to him.

I prefer the kind of beer with alcohol in it.

Did you ever live outside of the US for any length of time? Outside of the service, I mean.

I believe that if a person wants to burn the American flag on American soil, then that person has the right to do so. I have fought and others have died for that right. However, I don't like it. When an American exercises their freedom and burns the flag, it sickens me; it turns my stomach and does everyone who has died in service of this country a grave dishonor. I am more at ease when a veteran burns the flag than when someone who never served burns the flag. At least the person who served, at the very least, knows what it is like to stand in blistering heat or extreme cold and salute the flag. Every veteran knows that one thing that every soldier, sailor, airmen or marine prides themselves on is the sharpness of their salute, especially when rendered to the flag.

I will also say that freedom of speech has just become a catch all for pretty much saying or doing whatever without any forethought or caring how it may offend some people, many times, said exercise of freedom of speech is evidence of really bad parenting.

He would probably be amused at watching paint dry and give that same smile. The background population there looks pretty sharp too. Yeah people I want to hire for my businesses. Sign them up if they are not to busy burning the American FLag.

Has to make his mom proud. Bet she is all smiles back there. Probably his father also...that is if they know who the father is.

If that is some kind of trick question I give up. However to me it looks like a kid burning an American Flag. What does it "LOOK" like to you? Not what it is a picture of, but what does it "LOOK" LIKE.

Are you not going to give me some patrotic story. Does not matter ..I say again. What does it look like? That is what matters as long as there was no caption.

Hope I answered your question.
