It's not the actual fact of burning it that would bother me.. it's burning it in a dramatic and inflammatory way that would bother me (like when a bunch of (I think) Iranians burned the US flag in NY a few weeks ago (I could be wrong on location and nationality of the perpetrators, forgive me) - it really didn't sit well with people. It was viewed as a massive sign of disrespect and quite rightly so).Originally posted by GatorB
Staged burnings on the street are bad for the morale of the country and THAT is why I disagree with it. ANY form of hate-mongering I disagree with.
My post was really to try to find out what people's thoughts were, NOT to attack people! Not being American, I'm not really up-to-date on the wheres and whyfores of the laws there/constitution etc.. so I ask and hopefully don't get flamed!
Grow some balls? I can't, sorry.. I'm of the female persuasion - but thanks for sharing your thoughts in a non-confrontational manner

Hate mongering? Hate mongering is taking action against groups of people solely because of their race, national origin, sexual orientation, etc. Protesting one's government is the most sacred thing freedom can offer. What else not good for the "morale of the country" would you like stamped into the US Constitution? I vote for rap musicOriginally posted by WEGRuth
Some people think that others that get on the internet and espouse ideas not consistent with the current administration is bad for the morale of the country. When they get to that one, it should be called Amendment 86, regardless of what number they are up to

Ironically, the best way to ensure that people will burn the flag is to make it illegal to do so.
If they make it illegal to burn the flag, I'd bet that the number of flag burnings will actually increase.I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.Comment

Isn't it hate-mongering to burn the US flag as an immigrant?
I'm British and I moved to Canada several years ago, if I then burned the Canadian flag in the streets with a bunch of fellow Brits saying it's cos of how poorly the Canadians have treated my countrymen/women/etc, then wouldn't that be classified as hate-mongering? (I use this purely as an example, I realise there would be no basis for this event to occur in reality)
I understand wanting to protest the government if you don't like it, that's one of the basics of freedom of course - and I suppose burning the flag is ONE way you can do that - it just seems so useless, I mean, does burning the flag really make any difference other than pissing some people off and showing people that you know how to make a statement in a violent/aggressive way? Sure, it gets the publicity I guess, and publicity is what you want when fighting a cause, but doesn't it show more class to protest without violence?
Where's Gandhi when you need him!
(PS - All I was trying to do was understand where people were coming from cos flag burning just seems wrong to me
)

The Boy Scouts burn flags -- it's the only way to respectfully retire them. So when a protestor gets arrested for it, it's not the BURNING that they're being arrested for. it's the thoughts in their minds at the time. In America, we shouldn't arrest people for their thoughts.

Good link brisk, lots of good info there it seems.. I'm just on the 'history of flag burning' right now and see that to amend that law would be against constitutional rights, however earlier in this thread didn't someone say that the amendment had been passed?
Now I'm even more confused about the US legal system
Thanks for the link though, I'll check more of that out later on tonight.

Do you support the beleifs of the KKK? In you say no would you be for banning them from being able to protest or have a parade? I mean you can much for hateful than the KKK.
The 1st Admendment is not about protect sppech we all like or speech everyone agrees on. Why in the fuck would those need protecting in the first place? Just remember many people think OUR line of work isn't free speech either. So be careful who you align yourselves with.
One more thing you can't burn the Chinese flag in China. If you heard that protesters in China were arrested and sent to prison for burning the Chinese flag would you be in support of Communistic government or the flag burners? Because you can't have it both ways.Comment

if it does pass, hopefully the supreme court will quickly strike it down.
i just don't understand trying to legislate things like this. the freedom that the flag represents, for better or worse, is the freedom to burn it. i don't agree with flag burning, i think it is a silly inflamitory thing that people who have weak issues use to get attention, but there should be nothing illegal about using that to express your opinion.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.Comment

To the best of my knowledge the Supreme Court cannot stike down a constitutional ammendment. They can stike down parts of...or all of...a law that is passed by congress if they interpret the law as being in violation of the constitution...but a constitutional ammemdment is not a law...it becomes a part of the constitution...thus the Court has to abide by the constitution.Originally posted by smack
I do not personally care if it becomes an ammendment or not...but I do no that no one will ever burn the flag/desecrate as "political expression" in my presence without rendering me to disabled to prevent the burning/descration.
I will suggest to you that the majority of Americans feel as I do.Last edited by theking; 06-22-2005, 05:36 PM.When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

okay honestly i am an american, and i can burn a flag because it is my right to burn a flag, even this countrys flag, now there are times like when bush decided to go to war with iraq that i felt like burning this flag because this country has turned into a pile of shit so to take our right away to disagree with how things are going fuck that, i believe in a foundation this country was formed on and now its nothing but a lie, so i hope this law doesnt pass, its a bunch of shitLast edited by split_joel; 06-22-2005, 07:09 PM.E-mail marketing - Automation Scripting - IP Space

I was born under the flag...I have spent a lifetime enjoying the privileges that the flag represents...I served under that flag for 12 years of my life. I engaged in combat operations under the flag multiple times...and have payed a heavy price for doing so. I was willing to kill or die under the flag and I still am...so if I had to go to prison for defending the flag...it would be far less than I have already done and sacrificed for the flag.Originally posted by GatorB

So if I burned a flag in front of you you are willing to kill me and deny my son a father just so you can feel like a man? You are sad and I wish you had as much reverance for the Constitution and the freedom the flag symboilizes as much aas you do the flag itself. I bet if I had afacsimilie of the Delcarartion of Independance or the Constituion and I burned one of those you wouldn't even give a shit.Originally posted by theking
Answer this. If a perosn in China burned the flag of China in protest of the communist government would be in SUPPORT of him or the communist government that would most likely kill him? If you support the flag burner then you are a HYPOCRITE. If you support communists well...........so which is it? Are you a hypcorite or a communist? You CAN NOT have it both ways.Comment

I support the right of a citizen of China to burn their flag if they so choose. I support the right of the Chinese government to punish the man if they so choose.
