If people want to burn a flag for some pathetic reason, don't you think they should be forced to buy the flag first?

That's normally how it works.

Flags are one on the most deliberately divisive things ever invented. The whole point of flags is to symbolise power and control - and the more people burn them that happier I get. I have no time whatsoever for people who feel so insecure in their own being that the feel the need to symbolise blind idolatry of their collective superiority by hoisting a flag in their yard when it is in fact the very epitome of individual weakness.

I think they should deport themselves first

It is more than destruction of an object. Burning a national symbol can be compared to insulting a country.

Sounds fair to me 👍

If they burn someone else’s flag they could face charges. If they burn their own, they’re fine.

crazy chick, stop being sensible 😅

Most people have purchased the flags they burn, otherwise they [b]could[/b] be charged with destroying someone else’s property. But some think it should be a crime even if it’s one’s own flag [b]because[/b] it’s a flag.

Isn't that what people normally do when they do that?
