Watching an American flag burn...

It is.

Symbols are things to react with, communicate with, not to worship without questioning them.

When it becomes about worship, and much more valued than human lives to the point that people get jailed for it and physically assaulted to, the message becomes that [i]oppression is acceptable as long as the masses agree on it. [/i]

They don't unite, they separate the majority from the minority enough to dehumanize them..And countries from countries..

If the only freedom you're allowed to have is LOVE THE COUNTRY then that ain't freedom.

Also the US fixation on its own flag is weird and unwholesome.

I never understood the obsession with flags. It's just a piece of cloth.

Wtf. That’s what ungrateful b*tches do. If someone did that in my country they’d get jumped

Tell that to these folks.

You'll get arrested for treason if you try to burn the Aussie flag here in Australia. But when Trump was in power I'd have gladly burnt every US flag I could find.

You'll be hung for treason and encouraging behavior of endangering the safety of the country, here in Iran

But we burn other countries' flag freely and in some places they've drawn those flags on the ground so you'd have walk on them as u go in and out.

I don't understand how burning the US flag is an insult , but when it's worn as a bikini or boxers getting farted at it is fine.

Burning the US flag is just as much a representation of what the flag represents as flying it.
