The only reason it is allowed is because society has to be tolerant of others' practices, no matter how superstitious they may be. I'd ban it if given the chance and they can do their burning in the microwave oven.
can they burn the jossstick and hellmoney with an iphone apps to their ancestors.
polluting the air is bad, you know they should use the second hand smoke of cigarette as a basis to ban the burning.
Tonychat, you talk like a warrior........ why not try to pour some water the next time you see some chink setting fire with their joss sticks or paper on the road. Better if you pee on the fire or ashes. If you dare !! Walk the talk man !! See what will happen next to you and your family. Dare ??!! or you are a coward.
