Spin: Is Burning the US flag wrong?

[Blackking]

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.

(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").

the US flag doesn't truly represent the people .....plus it never did represent 100% of the population. Our flag represent ideas and Americanism and not really the people.

Your Belgian flag was changed every generation depending on what 'real' nation had the influence at the time. I'm not sure what it represents .... but at least it's independence represented freedom for everyone, and today doesn't represent imperialism. You should be proud. Your central African flag represents the blood that's going through your veins at this very moment. You're born there you can identify with it.

The American flag to me is built upon hypocrisy. imo

I said yes. Yeah we have a right to burn it, and a lot of us know what America is about but at the end of the day what good does burning a flag really do??? If anything that's unwanted and unnecessary attention on you. Similar to marching with signs and whatnot.
America is gonna stay wicked regardless so the best way to make a change is to start with self. Tell others what's going on and move along.

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

cowards usually expose their yellow underbelly quick.

I'm a coward for deciding to live in a country I love and you are brave to live in the same place you hate?:jada:

You choose not to move because no country on earth rivals this place and you know

 

[krazibutkoo]

No. It doesn't mean anything to me.

Why should I move? My ancestors built this shyt while yours whipped them, you

There's plenty places that are better depending on what youre looking for; like low crime for instance, or true freedom, or health care for all...

but hey, keep issuing passes... as long as you do that you dont have to acknowledge the truth...

cowards yellow underbelly has been exposed

Since OP bytched out and won't take a position. Are we defining the American flag as everything this country has stood for?

 

[Fillerguy]

so when you burn the flag and it's ash you've lost your right

No weezy I love your humor

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Lets close this stupid ass thread. The first amendment protects free speech. Do whatever you want with the flag.
