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.

Exactly. I just think that something that many people have fought and died for should be sacred. Anyone who happens to be a protestor and does not like America can get out. No one is keeping you here. Go to some other country if you have a problem here. Thats my opinion.


Its not so simple, lolz.

Communism and flag burning have VERY LITTLE in common. Who cares if a random person waves a communist flag? Maybe they're communist! Ever think of that? Flag burning isn't really a good thing to do and I don't think it's right but if it means protecting the first amendment from fascism then so be it!

The ideology has nothing to do with it, but a communist very well would burn the flag of the biggest imperialistic state.

Hell, I'll burn 5!

Ah yes... basic left-right tactics. What you fail to realize is that protesters are the ones who have the most love for their country. The founding fathers protested because they loved America so much. People who protest against the war or other issues are doing so out of love for the country. They believe that the current policies are wrong. But protesting, they hope to change America for the better.

Those who blindly follow are the worst.

There is a fine line between protected your first amendment and taking it to the extreme.

I do not disagree that America has been shapped off of protest. But I feel like there is a right and wrong way to protest. Like if I came and burned down your house because I was protesting against the rise in housing. Would that be right?

Of course it would be wrong because you are damaging my property. If I buy a flag and I burn it, it's fine. It's my property and I can do what I want with it.

Drace how dare you! you can be an American communist! I'd never burn a U.S flag!
But did you know that it is illegal to fly any flag higher than the American flag anywhere in the country?

im not saying its wrong to protest, but doing something that extreme as burning a flag, or causing a riot, is not right
