You put the wrong thing in and they take away all functionality.

I, once again, am forced to ask...when do we start burning things?

    Honestly I think a lot of people are like me. Waiting for other people to start something.

    The problem is it's hard to get away with burning down a building unless you're part of a large mob.

    When will you start burning things? What - specifically - would it take?

    I think that basically would be the same answer as your question.

    Edit:. Sorry, looks like you probably had this conversation already. Half of the comments look deleted on my end .
