The point is to pay tribute to the ideas and people who long before you sacrificed a lot of time, effort, and sometimes their lives so that you could have the right to bitch about how ridiculous it is you would have to put out such a massive amount of effort to show a little bit of respect.
That doesn't make you a terrorist, it makes you self centered, self absorbed, and shallow.
