If someone wants to get involved in this country, then stand up and make a difference in positive involvement, not by destroying something.
I belong to the USSVI. United States Submarine Veterans inc. I do so in hopes to make it heard that the US is a great country, yes we disagree with the government, but as long as most people are compliant in the 2 party system there is not much we can do about it. We contact local government and get things done, we raise money for scholarships, we even clean the road side once a month.
If you have a cause and want to make a point, don't distroy something, that is the mentality of a terrorist, instead get off the couch and stand up and get involved!

being in the military or involved in it in anyways doesnt make your rights supercede other's rights.
I wont stop anyone from burning the flag if i see.. it will offend me, but It will also get my attention and make me ask the person why..
Burning your own flag that you payed for from a store is not a terrorist act so whoever says it is needs to look back at your politicians and ask how many of them burned them in the 60's
Fact is this people... To make a law bannig it is to say we HAVE a problem with people doing it....
I dont know the exact figures but I'm sure eveyone will agree.. it's not an epidemic...
the fed governement loves to make laws... ban things, restrict us, tax us and refuse us our freedoms... this is just another way to do so....
why not outlaw burning of the state flags too? Then ten years later once us flag burning is banned they will move onto the next thing... no burning of flags from other countries that american have come from. because OOOOOOOOOooo it offends them too.. dont offend anyone.
come on this site is called go fuck yourself... and you are complaining about being offended by the burning of the flag.
Ironic don't you think?
