depends on the context.. i thought they burnt american flags when they are old and worn out, like a military burial kind of thing.

Yeah not exactly what I was talking about. On the 4th their was a group of people burning flags just to burn them to celebrate their rights. :blink:

Buring a flag is much different then burning one :thumbs

oh i see. well i dont really care. if they want to burn a flag, let em. just better not be my personal flag.

 
It should be allowed because it would be completely hypocritical to say you can't burn it when it is an actual representation of our nations beliefs, which are based on freedom of ideals. I find the act of burning the flag as disgusting as anyone else would, but it that person's right to be able to do just that.

 
don't they ( i could be totally wrong here) burn em' if they touch the ground or something? i say if they want to, let them, just not infront of people. They can burn them all they want in the privacy of their own dung/sand huts.

Okay yes they do destroy the flags if they are worn and if they do touch the ground or such but if you think it's right for some dumbshit just to burn a flag then something is wrong with this country!!! Where in the hell is the pride at!!! :WTH

I think, in most cases, it isn't to protest "the country" so much as it is to express an opinion of the administration of the country.

i think the pride is there, its just that people have different ways of expressing it. I think it is more important to believe in your country than to believe in a flag. Of course, the flag is the symbol, and it is easier to identify with symbols, because they are tangible. you can see and feel the symbol (an american flag in this instance). But it is more difficult to feel and see an intangible (our country).

edit: jeez where is my spelling today...
