Flag Desecration.....should it be outlawed?

[TwentyFo]

It's actually not proper at all to wear the flag as a piece of clothing at all.

Well I can almost guarantee you that Shuffler, Laz, and a few others on this post have an American flag piece of clothing. I hate to see how bent out of shape people get about burning the flag. It's a symbol, yes I agree. However, burning a flag doesn't quietly chip away at the constitution, it doesn't take away the importance this country has played in the word. To me it simply means a burning peace of fabric. The United States means so much more than a flag. And I just wish people would realize that.

Careful Shuff and Lazs....You'll be called sad excuses for citizens soon....

Why you guys argue with  these folks....ahh well...exercise that freedom ya have.

 Burning or in this case dragging it in the dirt and having her kid jump on the flag on the ground is not free speech IMO.This is an action and not a statement.Its something thats aimed at inciting desired effects from people grieving at a funeral.I think she should be deported.You wanna burn a flag?Go for it.You want to pull this at a US soilders funeral then get ready for the hammer.

Didn't know the constitution was thrown in the trash for funerals.

A breech of etiquette is not illegal.

Just shows what trash the person in it is. Not one to be trusted...

Your wrong as usual...... I have a Flag in front of my home.. it comes down at night and is folded properly and stowed in it's own place. I have no clothing made of the flag. I have worn clothing with an American Flag patch which is acceptable. My company flies the Flag properly and stows it properly. 

Your type is why this country has so many problems these days. You have to have rules otherwise we all go down the tubes.

Answer the question!  Should American Flag underwear be illegal?

[GtoRA2]

I am in favor of this:

So I oppose a law abridging my freedom of speech, esp political protest.  I seem to remember swearing to uphold the constitution somewhere.

I am with Holden here.

For the slower individuals reading this thread.... I think that if you wear clothing made from the US Flag your of the lowest in the human species. You may as well be a terrorist.

This answer your question? Thought I made it pretty clear from my earlier posts.

Not that I really care either way Shuffler but I think the clear answer he wants is either yes, they should be ilegal or No they should not be. 

I even agree with you, they are the lowerst in human scum... but, it still should be legal.

 Its not the action...its the intent.This one is clear cut IMHO.

[RedTopp]

Freedom of speech is the most overused and abused thing in our constitution. If we truly had freedom of speech I would be able to say anything I wanted without worrying about being "PC". If I cant go to work or out in public and say what I want to say without fear of being sued or jailed for being offensive, then burning flags should be in the same category because it is offensive to many people.

A person who burns the Flag should be given two options:
1. serve 4 years in the military
2. Be placed in a room for 10 minutes with a vet who fought to protect their country.

All of the above would not be any punishment whatsoever, they would be an honor.

Goodness, that little line certainly seems to have sunk deeply into your consciousness.  Thanks, it's quite a compliment.

So you're saying burning the flag is like a voodoo doll. If you burn the final 2 stars of the flag, Hawaii and Alaska erupt in flames and disband from the union.

Take it how ya like....trust me when I say...that it wasn't meant as one however. I find that remark you made to me that time to be one of the most hateful things I've had said to me. But,  that free speech thing I served in the military to protect gives ya that right. But  , I wouldn't walk across the street to **** down your throat if your guts were on fire. My lil contibution to mankind.

Have a nice day
