Do you think it's okay to burn the American Flag?

If so, give a reason why.

What a ludicrous question. You may as well spit on all of the graves of the soldiers who died to protect that flag and what it stands for.

It's sad that people don't share the same views.

Ironically, that is part of what they fought for and what it presumably stands for. If not the right to do it, the right to ask the question. 😐

@bijouxbroussard: Back then, they didn't think people would be burning a flag in a veterans face.

@bijouxbroussard: What is That supposed to mean? I am a Military war veteran as was my father and my brother. And, if you are saying it is fine to disrespect, or destroy our American Flag, why don't you move to Canada?
@Xena1234: The First Amendment of the Constitution says so. Don't you support the Constitution ? It predates you, your father and your brother.

@bijouxbroussard: Says, all US Citizens feel free to burn or disrespect the American Flag?

@bijouxbroussard: It was almost changed in 2006, but lost by one vote. Very unfair.
@Xena1234: As was said, if the flag truly represents freedom, that should be stronger than the cloth. If not, what were they fighting for ? You can't legislate respect, anyway.

@bijouxbroussard: You wouldn't know much about respect and honor anyway, Miss Atheist.
@Xena1234: You don't know anything about me. I'm speaking to you like an adult, you're the one calling names and making assumptions.
@Kinevil: As unfair as deleting someone's reply because you support someone's attack on another poster ?

@bijouxbroussard: I know enough. Wonder why you chose me to try to argue with?

@Xena1234: I actually wasn't arguing with you, and if you weren't so angry you'd see that I said nothing in the least disrespectful. I have family who served going back generations, and I respect that (and your service, too). But they've always told me part of that was fighting for the right to disagree, and as one poster said, civil disobedience has been involved.

@Xena1234: You lost me when you resorted to calling names. If you're supposed to be a Christian, you don't represent your faith very well. Bye, now.
