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").

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
Is is wrong to come to a land inhabited by people and massacre them, turn them "christian" against their will, take the land and throw the remaining people on some reservations?

Is it okay to drop atomic bombs on cities populated with CIVILIANS killing hundreds of thousands if not more?

Is it wrong to, after you free your slaves, to set up laws and customs that keep those former slaves as second class citizens and devoid them of equality?

I'll shyt on the flag...

What best country by far you know that has the highest incarceration rate of all 1st world countries and the absolute worst infant mortality rate among those same countries?


fukc outta here b

intilectual recipricol is the one who's trolling. he's making terrible equivocations without answering your thread.

@intilectual recipricol can't be taken seriously because he's a Nas hater... other than that, he's correct... you can't say No to the right to burning the flag just because you believe in America as the beacon of hope when the truth is that it's the main instigator of destruction.

The fact that we have the war on Drugs, are controlled by Apac and have limited privacy laws mean that the flag is clearly BS.

Depends on the motive..

It's certainly disrespectful but some of the things the government does and allows big business to do in our country merit a disrespectful response at the very least. A terrorist act would show hatred of one's country, and even beyond that a complete lack of morals and decency towards those around them, but burning the flag wouldn't necessarily show hatred toward America. It could actually be done out of love in a way, if done to show one's anger towards the government and the general population for what we've allowed our once great country to become. Endless variables could come into play in an instance like this, just like so many other times in life, and so it's hard to pass judgment.

Are you denying that America did those things? Or are you saying they did, but its okay?

Either way it says a lot about the type of person you are.

Let me say I felt strongly about the way you feel about this country I will be man enough and get out.

But you aint man enough are you? The rest of the world isn't looking too appealing is it?:obama3:
There is no country with a clean slate

I see you took the cowards way out. It was to be expected. :yeshrug:

cowards usually expose their yellow underbelly quick.
