My question was a direct off-shoot of that.
It has absolutely nothing to do with moving the thread forward. If you think it does, how would it do that? I see it as an attempt to troll.

The only way my question could've been off topic is if your comment was off topic.
No.

Which it was...



Nor is it about what laws you do or do not think should exist...
It deals with a law regarding an illegal Mexican flag [placement] (read topic title), and I gave my opinion about it.
Quote:

You said you didn't think the law should exist. I asked you why not. You dodged.
Nope, I specifically addressed why I think the law should not exist.

Banning someone from writing on a flag that they own is violating their property rights.

As for writing to a Congressman not making any difference, you're probably right. They rarely pay attention to those who aren't old enough to vote...


You're dodging a logical question, asked as the result of a statement you made.
That doesn't make it on-topic, and thus it is not necessarily a dodge (it isn't a dodge in this case). "What kind of food do you like?" is a logical question and it could be asked as a result of someone's posting anything. That wouldn't make it on-topic in a thread discussing the Holocaust.
Quote:

Making the statement, and then whining when someone asks you about it is immature.
I never mentioned anything about what I am doing to change laws.
Quote:
Oh, and it's dodging to the nth degree...
