Flag desecration

No, its a clear violation of the First Amendment.  And our men died for those freedoms, not a piece of cloth.

angus, in an earlier post, you said you used to believe that statement when you were stoned.  What does that say about your current mental state?

I would not support it. As much as flag-burning sickens me, it should be legal, provided that you own the flag in question, obviously.

If you take down a flag from a government building and burn it, you are guilty of desecrating public property and theft.

It's freedom of speech, and no matter how much I disagree with what's being said, I strongly support the freedom itself.

I think I agree, though it's difficult emotionally to give approval to this.
