Why is it that when people burn flags...
 

...they always seem to have some incorrect version of the flag?

*Note to future flag burners - If you intend to burn a country's flag, for fucks sakes try to make more than a half assed attempt at getting the flag right when you make it on your home sewing machine.

because flag burners are idiots

Seriously, is it really that hard to make an accurate version of a flag?

I don't know how many times I've seen photos of people burning American flags that have like 18 stripes and 20 stars

WTF people?

Lol. Who cares, as long as people see what's the point.

:glugglug

Fastest way to see me get arrested:

Be with me if I see some fuck try it with the American flag :feels-hot

I would leap on him like a wild man from Borneo and smile for the cameras as I jammed the flag pole straight up his ass like the Marines raising the flag over Surabachi...

I would add new meaning to "violating his civil rights" - Few things piss me off more :ak47:

You're part of the reason someone'd be burning it in the first place :2 cents:

People who burn flags are like the nazis that burned books...

Care to elaborate? I don't see any resemblance.

My best guess: both are symbolic acts involving fire.

Flags are a symbol. In some countries, flags carry a more symbolic meaning than in others. For example, in the United States the American flag has a lot of meaning with many people.

Wedding rings, the crucifex, the Star of David, flags, rainbows... all symbols that are of great importance and meaning to many peoples. It isn't so difficult to see why burning any of those symbols would cause controversy.

that's true lol

Flag worship is a sickness of the mind.

Burn the flag of your choice today.
