Why Do Americans Value A Piece Of Cloth So Highly?

Why do these morons think a flag means anything? I respect my country, but I don't cry about the flag. It means nothing ultimately. If someone shits on the British flag then whatever, they needed a shit. Is America so empty of real meaning that a flag means that much?

The flag represents the country you say you respect. I agree people go over the top with it but I also understand the anger people feel. If I shit on your flag I am going out of my way to disrespect you. The flag itself means very little compare the what it is meant to represent, it's a symbol of a people and their country. I wouldn't agree it's a sign of any Americans emtepness rather exposes a ignorant person to shit on the flag in the first place. Americans reaction is a secondly issues surly lol
