      Why stop at making flag burning illegal?

      Why not take it further, like some European countries and make "hate speech" illegal too?

      What about porn? Fucking is not speech, so porn should be illegal too.

      Think about it.

        After 50 votes, pro-flag burning is in the lead
        I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
        I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                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.

                Killing an eagle is not covered under freedom of speech - Why shouild burning the flag be okay?
                I think if you set fire to your own car, then it's fine though isn't it? (assuming the only damages are those to your car). Thus if the flag is yours, I think you can do whatever you want with it.

                  I don't really see the point of burning flags. Yeah it shows you don't think much of them but to go out and buy a flag just to burn it seems pretty silly.

                  This is where my next million is coming from!

                    Anyone who would burn the US flag is an IDIOT.

                    Why you ask?

                    They go out and buy the flag for $19.95, and the US Government collects taxes on that sale. Their act of burning the flag makes the US government a few dollars richer.

                      I'm in favour of flag burning because flags offend me.

                      Burn them all, every last fucking one of them.
                      hell yea ... life isnt a fucking football game

                      indoctrination of children - "I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

                      oh yeah - what happened to the people who were here before england, france, etc decided to loot rape and steal this portion of the continent?

                      umm, justice for all? do you think there is justice for all in america? hell no there isnt. if i recall there were three toilets when my father was growing up. one for 'negroes'

                      you flag waivers are some ignorant ass sheep who would lick dubyas ass with syrup. to think you are better than someone born somewhere else? ign'ant hicks.

                            who cares, its just a fucking flag.

                            Often times I wonder why
                            There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                            When sickness comes I must decide:
                            When feelings go, theres suicide.
