How do we feel about burning the american flag in public now in 2010?
Are there still some backwards thinking clueless citizens that are against it?

Feel free to light the flag on fire, after wrapping it around yourself.

I'm against burning the flag, but I don't shit on those who do because it's their right here in the US to take, take, take and never sacrifice their freedoms for the good of others then burn the flag representing those freedoms. What goes around will eventually come around..

Using a very broad defentition of 'speech", flag burning is protected. But in my view it falls into a different catergory, more like arson or cross burning.

And for all you buttwads who wanna show how "deep thinking" and "tolerant" you are by "supporting the right to do something you don't agree with"- fuck you in advance, thanks.

A ban on flag burning for reasons other than fire safety is sick and un-american. Hitler banned flag burning when he was in charge of his country. I pray that this country never gets to that level of hate and ignorance.

Sorry but rules are rules. It is seen as a sign of disrespect and
should be illegal. Just like these migrant illegals that flood our
country from Mexico should be illegal. If it is legal for you to
burn a flag, then it should be legal to burn the person burning the
flag, PROVIDED THEY ARE DOING IT ON AMERICAN SOIL. It is not a form
of free speach, but a physical declaration of war, especially if done
in public by a group of people.

May you burn like the flags you wish to destroy.

It's the difference between lighting somebody on fire in order to kill or desecrate them, as opposed to burning a deceased individual for cremation.

A ban on flag burning would be very disrespectfull to all our fighting men and women who gave their lives in combat to protect our right to burn a flag if we so choose. I would never wish to burn an american flag but making flag burning illegal would be going way too far. Thank god our lawmakers see that now and flag burning that does not violate fire safety laws is still perfectly legal.

It is a non issue to horrify and shock the uninformed.

Each year there is less than a handful of actual flag burning reports. But people like the OP (Meade)jumping on the bandwagon and making it seem a everyday occurance - the mis-informed spreading mis-information.

I would venture to say the number of terrorists caught crossing the Canadian border into the US since 911 and the number of flag burning reports in the last year are roughly the same.

So let us concentrate on flag burning and not sealing the border with Canada!

Idiot.

How many men and women in the military do you think specify their goal as "protecting the freedom to burn a flag"?

I understand the argument in a theoretical sense, but is lighting a fire really speech? Do you think a symbolic measure banning the desecration of a flag is some march to totalitarianisn? Eat shit already.

Yes, Hitler banned flag burning, he also nationalized health care.

Most US flags are made by one company, Annin and Co, who have been doing it for 150 years or something like that. While it is privately held and does not release specific numbers, let us assume, for arguments sake, they make 10,000 flags a day.

Burning the flag Betsy Ross made would indeed be shocking. Burning one of 10,000 flags made in a day - not so shocking.

Maybe not make it illegal, but instead say.... you lose your citizenship and all the benefits due to you for 5 years. At the end of that period you can petition to be re-instated. If you don't like the flag and what it represents, then find somewhere else to live.

Exactly. They would be embraced with open arms right? Or would it be a 'grass is always greener on the other side' kind of moment? I will go with option 2. More people should spend some time abroad to see what they are truly taking for granted.

flag desecration (includes burning) is illegal in many modern countries. check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_burning

unfortunately, it's a very limited list and has almost no references to countries in the middle east. wikipedia sucks.

Sadly, the people here do not get yours or my point.

Let us say your grandfather loved sweet tarts. He had sweet tarts his entire life. He believed so much in sweet tarts he asked to be burried with them, which he was.

So a couple years later you see on the TV someone smashing sweet tarts with their boots saying how much they hate sweet tarts. Do you start whining like a baby? Of course not. Or maybe you do.

So to you the flag means liberty, justice, freedom and all things Sean Hannity. To about 8 others a year the flag is kindling. They are wrong, you are right. Just be happy with the fact that you are right and they are stupid and do not give them the attention they do not deserve.

Or you can put those 8 people on Fox News to scare old people.

Sadly, folks don't learn much about honor, integrity and love of your Country these days. That is why they have a hard time understanding why it is wrong. To them the flag is just that - a sweet tart - it holds as much significance as dog shit.

I am not sure why we even refer to Senators, Congressmen, Governors, etc as 'Honorable' anymore. Certainly most of them are much less so then the significance that is carried by burning the flag.

Hey, whatever - the folks burning the flags are idiots, no doubt.

You guys are probably against flag burning also, but think a ban is unconstitutional.

My point would be this: speech is talk,print etc. Burning something is a totally differnt action. I think burning of a cross is illegal, but it may have been struck down by a higher court. Should they ban burning the Bible but not the Quran? Probably not, and I can comprehend that side of the argument.

In Maryland you are not allowed to buy any kind of fireworks, even sparklers. Pretty pussified law, especially if you consider your "freedom of expression" to be running around with sparklers. It's sure safer than burning a flag isn't it, with the much bigger flame?

The stupid and insulting notion that people keep pushing forward is that a ban on flag burning will lead to some severe erosion of your rights. Do these people take the same strict constituionalist few when it comes to gun ownership? Doubtful.

The scare tactics are yours.

Flag burning doesn't endanger others and really doesn't endanger the individual in question as much as fireworks. Plus, burning a flag is a political statement whereas lighting off fireworks is not. I realize it's a tradition at the 4th of July but that's still different. The flag is literally the symbol of a country. It is a definite statement to burn it, particularly if you are doing this at an actual protest as opposed to in your backyard with your friends and neighbors.

I'm not saying burning a flag is a good or bad thing, just trying to demonstrate the difference. I think fireworks laws are kind of stupid too, but so are a lot of people that use fireworks.

See that this is the point you do not get. The number of reproted cases of flag burning is usuallyt less than 10 a year.

Therfore it is a non-issue.

Why give these few people the attention they crave?

Does someone burning a flag (one of 10,000 made October 14, 2007 and not one of the 100s of thouseands made since then) so frighten you you want to ban it oir make a constitutional ammendment forbiding it?

Let us try it this way you doofus.

You have a flag. It is special to you. Great we are so happy for you and ytou should be happy with yourself.

Now see someone on Fox News burning a flag. You say to yourself "that is not MY flag, my flag is special,,, That is just a flag made October 14, 2007 - one of 10,000 made that day... It is not as special as MY flag. I treat MY flag special because it is special... Too bad his flag is not special to him".

Oh forget iut. We should have a constitutional ammendment banning something that happens less than a dozen times a year.

If I decide fireworks are a "political statement" why aren't they? Because someone decided? I make the same analogy of wearing burkas on airplanes- what would be the difference my "religion" was to wear Halloween maks into banks. how dare you question my faith!?!?! I know, it could get ridiculous, but if flag burning is a political statemnet, why couldn't fireworks be?

It could be an issue well left to the states. Staes could outlaw the "burning of items in prtest" including books,bras whatever. Makes sense.

The bug up my ass is the notion that if America did indeed amend the Constitution to ban flag burning that it would be some kind of path to a police state. I understand how asshole politicians would wrap themselves in the issue for brownie points, no question, and that may be who your beef is with.

Sparklers hardly endanger others. What if you burned the old Mike Pallone Chevy flag in Springfield? Wouldn't that be more dangerous than sparklers?

There is really nothing 'political' about burning a US flag

So nobody really cares that burning a flag is a very very very rare occurance?
We should treat it as if it is an everyday thing?

Trust me, you unpatroitic fools. Make it illegal or unconstitutional. Then you really will see alot more that 12 people a year burning flag.

But you would enjoy that because secretly you hate America and would love to see more flag burnings.

Me I am a liberal and knowing there are no more than 12 people burning a flag in protest is just fine with me. If there were 13 pewople a year doing it I would be really pissed. 12 is my limit.

Of course, since "state laws" are just so much better than "federal laws". Notwithstanding the fact that a law is just a law, that's just pretty much stupid too.

Who said that? Or are you just inventing yet another timeworn slippery slope argument? since you're one for analogies, here's another slippery slope. Don't eat that dessert, since you KNOW eventually it will result in Federal mandates for dentures for every citizen by age 15. Mandatory In-Denture-tude. Why? It's the "slippery slope" argument of sugar, or course! Any more straw man slippery slopes you can invent for us?

The burning of a flag is inherently a statement. Look at the discussion here and it's obvious. There is no need to come up with some tortured "Well I think "X" is a statement because of MY beliefs" logic to explain it. No one gathers around with family and friends to enjoy burnin' a nice flag on a holiday weekend. They don't set flags afire whenever someone makes a home run at the ballpark. People don't go to concerts to watch the awesome flag burning show during that wicked guitar solo. I can literally think of no reason, besides the one described before of the proper, respectful way to dispose of a flag, to burn a flag besides to make a statement.

Again, people on this board will tell us over and over again that flag burning is very very bad. I get that. I really do. But please please please people get my point

IT is VERTY VERY VERY RARE. Not worth you getting your panties all tied up in knot. If you paid every flag burner minimuw wage for their time burning flags, you could use a $10 bill and still have change, including a 5 dollar bill.

Flag burning does not happen much. NOT much at all. Do you get it?

Exponentially, more people get hit by lightning then burn flags

Each year we produce more sets of septuplets than we produce flag burners

You will see more Lanbroghinis on the beltway this year than you will see flag burners on Fox News

Sarah Palin's daughter will get pregnant more times in the next couple of years then there will be cases of flag burning.

It is rare! It Just Doesn't Happen People!

Lemme try again.

It doesn't matter what your prejudices are about Sara Palin or Fox News.

It really doesn't matter how often something happens as a bellweather on rather it is good or bad. (You repeat that it happens 12x annually. Not sure how you get this, particularly since it is legal and there is probably litle accurate documentation on it)

Now it would yes, be a colossol waste of resources to amend the Constitution for the sole purposes, particularly since there would be showboating from both sides of the argument, righties who agree with censorship and are against a lot of little personal freedoms as well as lefties who are against gun and property ownership rights.

My stance is that, regardless of how often you say it happens, it is something very different from vocal or written speech. It can be banned, we'd still be a "free" country.

The only time I see people burning the flag is on the news. It's either being done in some dirty street in a dirty oppressed third world country that hates America or by some equally dirty hippie with crazy hair outside some place like the IMF. Both of who's views I completely discount right off the bat anyway.

If you're in this country and you hate it that much, just STFU and move already. Go enjoy some other country's socialist military dictatorship.

No, those for having a law against it have either a misunderstanding of what that would involve or have different priorities of what is important to this country.

It's a fact with Supreme Court precedent, that anti-flag-burning legislation is unconstitutional for free speech reasons. Therefore to make a law against it, you would need to amend the Constitution. This seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through for something that really doesn't happen that often and compared to most other Constitutional Amendments seems pretty petty.

is it illegal to destroy or damage American money? I thought I read sth about it being illegal ..if so how is it any different than flag burning?

If it is, then we need to arrest all of Congress. They're doing more to burn though it and destroy it than anyone else on this planet.

Currency is property of the Federal Gov., YOUR flag is not.
But I still think if it is done publically
on US soil, it should be considered a hate crime
and should warrant some type of jail time.

Why ban it? That will only bring more interest to it. Flag burning is stupid, so is having your best friend hold a target while you practice with your bow and arrow - neither of which in itself is illegal. But the moment you ban human target holders, people will hold targets. How many human target holders today? Probably 3 or 4. How many flag burners? 3 or 4.

Don't know who implied only righties carry guns. I said righties look for a strict view of the constitution about guns as lefites in Congress are more up to a strict view of the first amendment re flag burning.

And the border fence bill is relevant to what?

you can damage the money but you cant destroy it. it's not a matter of pride it's some economical dealy which i dont know/fully understand. go to the bureau of engraving and printing and they will tell you. however, it may just be because it costs more than a penny to make a penny.

It's illegal to render the bill unusable as valid tender/currency. You can draw a big ol' dick on you cash as long as it doesn't interfere with its ability to be used as money.

Presumably, this means you can't remove/hide/render illegible the serial numbers and other identifying marks that the business or government would use to verify that it is legitimate currency. The reasons could be as wide-spread as the cost associated with printing the money (as you mentioned) to preventing counterfeiting.

That reminds me of a dollar bill I got as change once. It had all this info about some girl and what a gold digging whore she was, but she was a total slut and would fuck anything. It gave her name, number and all that. It was a 540 area code. I should have called.

I looked at it back around 99 or so. Kind of clever, more silly though.

Mistake #1: Listening to WMAL

Mistake #2: Believing anyone on WMAL

You seem to be filled with stupidity. In a way, I feel sorry for you.

For one thing, I completely disagree with those who burn the flag. I believe they are unpatriotic, liberal hippie fucktards and I wouldn't shed a tear if they were to drop dead. It is a disgrace to this country. However, on the other hand, to make flag burning illegal I believe would be unconstitutional. Even if you find somebody's actions horrible and offensive doesn't mean they should be made illegal.

Really? So let me get your thoughts on public urination.

It is a constitutional right, right?
Heck we can even start up a pissing in public nonprofit 'religious' group!

Public urination actually would be illegal, I believe it would fall under "public indecency." It is NOT a constitutional right. So I am against it and it is illegal. The next time you try to start an argument please at least make sure its at least somewhat logical. Flag burning is wrong, but once you start taking away rights based on certain "principles" outside of the constitution, its a slippery slope my friend.

Burning a flag can fall under 'public indecency' AND reckless
endangerment of the public. Those are NOT a constitutional rights either.

Especially since forest fires have been started with as little as a
smoldering cigarette.

IF YOU WANT TO BURN A FLAG, JUST LEAVE THE COUNTRY. For GOOD.

A group of middle aged men wearing Romney tee shirts were burning small American flags during the inauguration parade. I thought that was kind of sick but not really surprising behavior for Romney supporters.

3 to 4 years later and there are still some ignorant Americans that want to ban flag burning. That makes me angry after I lost my left eye defending Americans right to burn the flag.
