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.

Ummmmm . . . so what? It should be allowed because freedom of speech & expression are rights that're unconditional.

Right, but we can do what we want within the scope of legality. Burning the flag is within legality.

true, but you could still get in trouble for it. and burning a flag is just not worth getting into trouble to me.

Don't ask me. I wasn't there.

Probably because he got to wild and started disturbing the peace.

Maybe because you don't really live in a free country, or because there no such thing as a free country.

again what I was trying to say, nothing is ever free, there is no free speech, no free anything.

At least your flag isnt a symbol of dominance. Take a look at the UK flag. You see the white cross in the background, thats the scottish flag, see the red diagonal cross THRU the scottish flag with the English cross stamped on top. It says "we own you"... I wanna go burn my countrys flag as a protest that this flag does not represent me, my land, my nationallity, my people or what anyone fought and died for. Go grab a lump of soil, its worth more than an artists design. If you really need a symbol to stand by, look at the things your country has built, and perhaps look in the faces of the people who made a difference. THEY are your country... not a wall mart flag.
