No.

It's a way to express outrage or dissatisfaction, which I feel is/should be covered under freedom of speech. As long as that flag belongs to the person owning it, I don't have issue with it.

It really depends on how you feel about symbolism, and about the country I guess.

I personally wouldn't burn the flag, even though in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. I feel like if I care that much about the state of America (or whatever country) that I can direct that energy somewhere that it will be more effective.

You can find a black spot in the history of every country.

America has it's faults but it's still the best by far

I'm not American, but I feel like burning ANY flag is disrespectful. A flag does not represent the current government or whatever, it represents all the people who have ever lived in that country, who have built it and sometimes fought for it. For me it's just basically saying "fukk you" to every single citizen of that country, with no nuance and no understanding that in every single country there are people just like you. Yes, it's just a symbol, but to me burning a flag (ANY flag) is extremely disrespectful. I don't agree with the US or Israël for example on TONS of issues, but I'd never do that. And I'd be extremely offended if someone burned the Belgian or the Centralafrican flag. :yeshrug:

(PS: to those who say it's freedom of speech, yes it is, and so is saying "Nigg*s stink". Freedom of speech doesn't make it "right" or "ok").

I personally find it kind of lame and unproductive, but if you own the flag you should be able to do whatever you want with it. :yeshrug:
