this is a very newman-ish response. you would do something not because u want to or think it’s right, but instead just to piss people off. i think burning the flag is just disrespectful, to the nation one lives in and the soldiers who protect it. if people can’t get their message across without such a stupid display of symbolism, maybe the message isn’t exactly a popular one or just doesn’t want to be heard. > [@zwarbyt](#): > > i never ever wanted to burn flag, the day they make it illegal i will burn two ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > Because you are violating civil rights. No, because he’s violating the rules of his workplace. If you want to stop flag burning, make flags out of fire resistant material. I can think of no greater symbol of exactly how great America is than a citizen burning an American flag. I can also think of no greater symbol of the dangers to American freedom than an amendment to the constitution to ban that act. The fact that as an American citizen you can, without risk of imprisonment, burn the flag of your country in protest to your government is a testament that we as a nation believe in freedom so much we are willing to allow such an act to take place. But more to the point - this is a political BS vote. There’s no outbreak of flag burnings going on across the country. It’s a cheap and easy way to make an attack ad. “My opponent voted for flag burning” there 5 seconds, but it takes more than a 5 second sound clip to make those who oppose burning the flag on a legal level understand just how important the right to burn that flag is. > [@badazzss](#): > > maybe the message isn’t exactly a popular one or just doesn’t want to be heard. Because something isn’t popular or people don’t want to hear it is **sometimes** what makes it so important. ---

> [@misteroman$$$](#): > > This is what I’m refering to.Here is a soldier, one of many that fought for and could have died doing so, defending our country and it’s values.The flag represents those things and was always meant to be flow proudly.I couldn’t even imagine what it must feel like coming home from a war and driving by a protest and seeing ppl burning a flag.Now don’t these ppl have rights?Can’t people find something else to show they are upset?It’s not like 5 or 10 people are upset/hurt you’re talking millions,and that just isn’t right.But lets protect people that want to have sex with little kids and say that’s ok because that’s what they believe(NAMBLA).This country is getting worse by the day. > D Who is protecting NAMBLA? ---

> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > Well, you’re wrong. Thats your opinion. So you are saying if you saw someone protesting and burning an American flag you would stand there and applaud them? Perhaps you don’t, but I take great offence to that. I love this country very much. To think that poeple would degrade the symbol that this country stands for disgusts me. If they don’t like it they can gtfo and find somewhere better…if their is such a place. The flag is not the symbol of the government, it is the symbol of all we have faught for to have this great country. It belongs to the people. Burning the flag is like a slap in the face to real Americans. ---
