Personally I've never advocated burning flags, simple because it insults old people who's belief systems are too entrenched in their own personal sacrifices, But - in front of thousands of american college jocks at woodstock by the most highly political band since MC5, I'm all for it. Especially if they got the whole place screaming "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"

i could almost buy it, if it were'nt for their addidas trainers and 5 pointed star logos, and che guevarra iconography, controlled opposition, you'll find out a lot about that on a david icke forum.

so what are you doing right now, - eating lentils in your bare feet as a form of protest whilst surfing the net on a laptop made by chinese teenagers on slave wages?

Not quite, but I get your point, just felt the need to de-saint RATM. ...Fucking charlatans.
I don't buy sweatshop clothes, it ain't difficult, but as far as using a computer, I think it's essential for me to use a computer to gather and share information that may contribute to the saving of our planet (dramatic?, maybe, but true, judge for yourself) and given the finite resources of where I can get a computer from, I have little choice in the issue and sacrifice that to the greater good. You build me a motherboard, case, mouse, keyboard etc etc and I will buy it from you at a decent price, when this one packs in or needs replaced.

Socialist tools. And they admit it. And they are cheered.
Josef Mengele would be proud.
LOVE their music!
And as far as anti-globalist/NWO whatever they're ok, just a bit off track I guess.. Or not completely informed, however you wanna call it.
I mean, for most communist leftist socialist types, what they're doing and opposing is absolu-frikkin-lutely the right thing. And I understand why.
It's just too bad they don't see that their 'heroes' are just extensions of the forces they want to oppose... :o

They totally believe in leftism, along the lines of a Michael Moore or Barack Obama. These are not the people we want to be looking up to.

Burning a flag is a retarded act if you're in the Middle East and fed a flag, lighter fuel and matches by a CNN News crew, and it's almost a billion times more spastic if Rage Against The Machine do it onstage.
I'll take your word for it that they did it (and presumably do it regularly) and I'm really fucking disappointed, because I thought they were cool.
Their lyrics suddenly become a version of blowing your own head off as an artist - fuck you I wont do what you told me!
