You probably support all newspapers submitting their editorials to a public "review board" to make sure nothing unpatriotic is said, don't you?

i believe that burning the american flag (or any flag for that matter) is at the same level of a person faking winning the most decorated medal for the country, for the U.S. being the Medal of Honor. I personally belive that it should be a felony. Regardless of if you agree with an administartion or not, when you burn a flag, you deface every single american.

Do you think there is something that an administration could do or not do that would make you angry enough to want to burn a flag in protest? Why? What would that be?


My personal opinion is that the right to burn the American flag is one of our greatest freedoms, and yes there have been times when I think it would be appropriate. The first being when we went to war in Iraq and the second being when Bush got reelected.


i will try hard not to slam you, but you really do seem a bit ignorant.

burn the flag when Bush got re-elected? what has this got to do with the "administration" doing something to make you angry enough to burn the flag? the people have voted, and chose their president. get over it. or go burn a flag if you so desire to...

If it ever came to the point where I hated the US so much that my visceral reaction was to burn the flag I would have probably left the country long ago, ceased to care, and thus wouldn't have burned the flag.

I would only burn the flag, in the spirit of defiance, with one specific issue ... and that would be if issue in question was burning the flag. Isn't that the American thing to do?

I have a question for those of you who strongly opposes burning the flag of your country: What are you supposed to do with old worn flags when you get a new one? I mean, you can't really throw it in the trash, as that's defacing as well?
