Burning flags shows disrespect to the whole nation without the need for direct agression.

I think it would be a good idea to send a similar message back to the radicalists - we can get radical too and you best believe, it ain't going to be pretty.

Who cares about burning flags? Anyone is welcome to burn my country's flag or any other flag. You are welcome to burn books as well, as long as those are not my books.

Flags, like so many other stupid icons of a country become as important as the thing they represent in people minds. HEY! you can't burn that piece of cloth with paint on it resembeling certain markings! it will hurt my country!

Extreme caring for your flags and symbols is the stupidest kind of patriotism. This is exactly like idol worshiping which is built into human psycology. Leaders knew how to exploit this since ever. It's much more effective to give the masses something physical to care about than some elaborate and complicated ideals and concepts. The flag itself becomes the country, the book itself becomes the religion. Fools.

That'll be 0.02$ for the counceling. Thank you.

I was going to give a certain religious example here, but it might hurt a few good christians.

I can agree with that. Those that are the most offended here at home are those old folks that lived during the occupation. it wasnt legal for them to show the flag for 5 years so for them it got a huge symbolic value. When they see it burning and stepped on they get really sad.

That's a pro-Chechen website "kavkaz.fi" and this guy(Seppo Lehto, a well known section a) is announcing his campaign there.

Mr Lehto just made himself enemy of the state methinks.
