# Repost it if you want,
or make something appropriate for the competition.
But flag burning is offensive no matter what country's flag it is - even more so when it's an allied flag.

# That horse high enough for you?
Allied? Christ, you really are just carrying out your own fucking agenda here, aren't you?

to take it down. I just told you how I felt about it. Freedom of speech and all that.

# I didn't accuse you of hatred. Read the fucking thread.
I just said the picture was not funny and, quite frankly, fucking offensive. I also never said a basic human right was wrong.

# Whatever, just carry on handing out the tags at will, remember, they're either for or against.

# I'm not handing out any tags.
Read what I've written - it's my feelings on the subject and it's NOT accusing you of anything.

# Boo
fucking hoo.
Seriously, repost the picture. I never asked you take it down, neither did anybody else.

# I disagree
I've no time for hysterical/ignorant America bashing either, but getting worked up about a bit of burning cloth is just as silly.

(I know what flags are supposed to "mean", btw; I just think people should be mature/rational enough to ignore that kind of provocation)

# No - just no
Flag burning is offensive to Patriotic people. Patriotic people are, to my mind, people who have an irrational belief that their country is somehow better than everyone else's. It's just a piece of cloth! Please, burn a Union Jack, an EEC flag, burn pictures of the Queen and of Blair.

Burning Americans would be in poor taste.

# Flag Burning
I rather thought that the whole point of the US constitution was that it stood for your right to exprss yourself however you wish flag burning or otherwise.

BTW Anybody know the correct and dignified way to dispose of a flag that reached the end of it's useful life?

That's right - burn it.

"hey mister, you shouldn't burn that flag. My daddy died for that flag in Korea."

"That's funny. My flag was made in Korea!"
