Does it anger you?
Personally, I could care less about flags right now. Simple symbols that stand for so much that I don't know nothing about, like many other citizens. But I know there are some that get upset. I would like to know why. |

now thats cool.
i'm not about to go down and lick your sack or anything but quoting the Admiralty Flag is alright in my book.
that stuff is crammed down my throat (no pun intended) on a daily basis.
Go Navy. |

Great quote from Family Guy(I may paraphrase a bit):
Peter: "While I don't agree with a word you've said, I'll defend to the death your right to say it, sir!"
Insurance Salesman: "Touche!"
....or something like that... |

| I would be only upset I think if American's were burning our own flags. I see burning flags as a extremist symbolic gesture of third world countries so they can burn all day long! It really solves nothing in the end. |

| YEs.. It would really bother me the own citizens of a country burning the flag. As to the Third Wordl Country comments, IM sure there were plenty of french flags been burned here when French Opposed the war in Iraq. ( yes, there were burning flags ) |

i agree. i'm sure if there were people burning French flags, the media would be all over it. and not one instance that i've seen/heard of.
