I saw yet another video of a group of protestors burning the American flag. The disgust me! Please tell me someone else out here agrees that it is wrong and should be illegal.

You need to go back and read what I been saying, then hopefully you will realize that it is not a symbol of protest but an act of disgrace to our veterans and the United States of America.

If you do not see what I'm am saying, it will be fun debating with you.

That is really sick when someone thinks they have the nerve to burn there own countrys flag.
I think this should be illegal.

Whether you like it or not, flag burning is protected under the First Amendment. Threatening to stomp someone for exercising his right to free speech is anti-patriotic as far as I am concerned.


I repect people who has served our country but I believe this should be changed.Buring our flag and for what?
If there angry about the goverment then write them a letter,email,report your argrument to them.
Theres no need to burn your countrys flag because you have anger problems .

burning a country's flag is EXTREMELY disrespectful. if they want to exercise free speech, they should petition or write a letter. i get so angry when people burn flags or think its okay. i consider it treason

Keep it legal. I personally disagree with it, but it would be limiting freedom of speech and ways people can express their opinion. People should be allowed to express disappointment and dissatisfaction with their country. Making it illegal would be against what America is supposed to stand for.Freedom.

* As a protest against a country's foreign policy.
* To distance oneself from the foreign or domestic policies of one's home country.
* As a protest at the very laws prohibiting the actions in question.
* As a protest against nationalism.
* As a protest against the government in power in the country, or against the country's form of government.
* A symbolic insult to the people of that country.
* To demonstrate one's rights.

This is what Wikipedia states are some reasons for it. As you can see, only one is a direct insult to the people of the country.
