im trying to find something out for my civis and economics class. i need to know is flag discretion legal? is it legal to burn the American flag?
i dont think so lol....i think u have to eat it if u wana get rid of it
It's certainly not illegal to burn an American flag, as that is the method used to retire old flags.
Though if done in vain it's not looked well upon by law enforcment, and is sort of viewed as anti-American activist behavior...
Though some people are trying to amend the constitution to state that this is illegal.
Read This for more info!
Yes, be very discreet about your flag discretion :rolleyes:
It's not illegal. It's just usually not looked kindly upon. But law enforcement can't do anything about it. ;)
:ninja:
no, it's not ilegal...
however, you are very, very, likely to get you butt kicked if you do it just about anywhere but behind closed doors.
only by violence-prone morons, which I realize the country is full of...
it's just a swatch of fucking cotton. If you spend the money on a flag just to burn it up, good for your dumbass.
Just don't set my goddamn grass on fire.
p.s.
It's desecration
Flag burning should be illegal.
Same for Australia.
What is it that they are trying to say ? Americans/Australian (whatever) should burn in hell ??
Thats the only thing i can think of when people burn the flags of countries.
flag burnings cool. when i see the stars and stripes burning i see it as an insult to the government and laugh at the others who take offence

Does everyone who trash their government have a viable working alternative. Its a serious question that needs a serious and well thought out answer.
Things like "i would instigate free hash for kids" or "let kids under 18 drink alcohol" or "make love not war" aint gonna make it anymore - so whats the "NEW" plan you all have secretly stashed thats gonna change the world?
Dont take this in a negative way, try to answer my question sensibly.
Peace

every1 has the right to express themselves in America.
just like i have the right to express my foot in the face of the person burning the American flag.
i understand it's just a "material", but many men fought and died under it to protect what it stands for - it is a representation and a symbol of our country's history. no need to desecrate it.

Thats exactly how i feel about it. Its just disrespectfull.Quote:

yes you should say should as this should avoid any further arguments :D
edit:missed a space :blink:
Would you do that to a colombian or mexican guy if they were burning a US flag. Burning a flag doesn't nessesaraly mean you wanna kill the people who live in the country. It mostly mean that you don't like the policy of this country. It would be no problem for me personaly to burn french flag, and that doesn't mean I wanna kill myself :lol:Quote:

Burning a flag doesn' hurt nobody. So if you wanna bother people put them in jail or whatever, I think you can call yourself a facist.Quote:

if they were burning the flag across the street from me, yes... :)Quote:

You could whipe your ass with a flag if you wished to, no law prohibits it, except Saudi arabia I think. Meh... people these day's love to burn my beautiful flag with the star of david on it I aint going to kill no one its there opinion so more power to them.
If some prick wishes to hit some one because of a flag I suggest that people should burn him next instead rather then wasting a nice colofull flag.
I don't have the slightest idea what Flag Discretion is, but I'm against it.
Then again, I never did well in civis class.
flag desecration - subject is spelled wrong.Quote:

Kiss my ass Patriot.
I love my country as much as the next guy, but I do realise my country and what it stands for is not in a flag, its with the people and politicians inside the borders.
If some american burned my flag, I'd clap and congratulating him on being able to work out how to use a lighter, If an american tried to burn one of my people then my country would gladly take up the case. :lol:
my country doesn't stand for the flag, the flag stands for the country u silly communist freak nugget - :PQuote:

No wonder the subject never came up in civis class.
Just a question.
If an Arab person burned the American flag, would they be treated the same way if a White American burned it ??
If an Arab did it, it would look like an act of terrorism and most likely, a S.W.A.T team will be crashing through his house. but if a white guy did it, its because they are "expressing them selves"
ummmm, i'm gonna say no 2 that - :PQuote:
