Patriotism v. Free Expression is not that mutually exclusive. Sometimes you need the former to defend the latter and vice-versea.

freedom of speach of course.... but there are more constructive ways to get your point accross, Burning the flag IMO is basically burning freedom.Comment

flag wavers themselves should be caged and BURNED.
nothing i cant stand more than fucking flag waving fuckers.
i was behind a car the other day in traffic, i swear this fucker had 20+ american flag stickers on his back window, a flag pole on each side of the car and a fucking flag on his antenna.
"we draw lines and stand behind them,
thats why flags are such ugly things."
put down the flag

I dont approve of burning your countries flag. Yes its a form of freedom of speech. But it just feels wrong. It especially gets on my nerves when countries who hate us or hate our policies burn the flag to prove some kind of point.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

Flags and nationalism are for the simple minded.
I'm in favour of flag burning because flags offend me.
Burn them all, every last fucking one of them.Last edited by Joe Citizen; 07-21-2004, 11:53 PM.Comment

flag burning isn't necisarily good or bad. it IS stupid however. there are much better ways to show your dissent that will actually get your points considered rather than labeled as fundamentalists ramblings.

child labor in other countries make our flags.Originally posted by Goatse
Burning a flag doesn't accomplish much, and it's a really juvenile gesture, but it doesn't harm anyone. Burn away, as long as you paid for the flag.
oh the irony.
nothing better than seeing illegal mexicans on the streets selling flags MADE IN TAIWAN.
every soldier that dies in iraq gets his wings when Pedro the illegal sells a flag

I hope I don't get slammed for this.....
I fail to see how burning the flag is protected under free speech.
I consider freedom of speech something you say, or something you create - such as a photo, a movie, or a book. Perhaps even a performance.
The act of burning the flag is just that - an act; In this case an act of protest. Setting a car on fire is also an act of protest, but that's not covered under freedom of speech.

if Americans didn't get so worked up about it and didn't give the people that burn the flags the reactions they were trying to get in the first place then people wouldn't bother as much to do it.
I guess I never realised just how insane we (Americans) go over the flag until I moved to the UK. You only ever see the English flag (not the Union Jack) at sporting events and when someone is seen burning the Union Jack on the news it might get a raised eyebrow but no where near the responses I was used to as a child.Comment

I love my flag. Flag haters can eat my ass.

I don't think burning a flag has anything to do with freedom of speech. But i don't think it should be against the law, either. It is a form of protest. And it is rather provocative in most cases.26 + 6 = 1Comment

Yes a worn out flag that you plan on replacing then yes burn it with respect.Originally posted by Fred Quimby
The approved method of disposing of unserviceable Flags has long been that they be destroyed by burning.
But I think it is so wrong in so many ways to burn ones own flag. I'm not a flag waver. I don't own a flag . I think that the 4th of July is a day to party and try not to do things too stupid. But at the same time I think burning your own flag is wrong because you are not just burning that flag, you are burning what many people before us have fought for.. Freedom to say "Go fuck youself".
This is a free country but you should not be able to burn the flag that stands for our freedom

Sure it is. As long as the car belongs to you it's called performance art.Originally posted by RocHard

Burning a flag you own is freedom of speech. Killing a bird that you don't own and is a protected species in not freedom of speech. There is a difference.Originally posted by RocHard

Freedom of speech is the right to freely say what you please, as well as the related right to hear what others have stated. Recently, it has been commonly understood as encompassing full freedom of expression, including the freedom to create and distribute movies, pictures, songs, dances, and all other forms of expressive communication.Originally posted by RocHard
