flag desecration

Yes. The state shouldn't regulate whether a piece of cloth heats up or not. Uh, I mean the laws.

That piece of cloth means somethign in the U.S. Americans tend to be proud of thier country, where as Canadians have nothing to be proud of.

Kodratos, I'm a better person than you, and won't stoop to personal attacks. What has Canada accomplished? Well, folks can get medicine when they need it. They also gave us Leslie Nielsen and John Candy.

Folks can't get healthcare there! There are 6 month long waiting lines to see doctors.

Also, why are you so mad at Canada? Did some Canadian cheat you at poker or something. I went to Canada on a vacation a couple years ago. It seemed to be very little different from the U.S.

I don't dislike Canada. I like Canada. I HATE Canadians telling us how evil America is and how to run our affairs. To exnaderite it's a piece of cloth. To Americans it is something millions of Americans have died for. No Canadians have died for the Canadian flag.

No Americans that I have ever heard of died for a flag - they died for ideals. The flag might represent those ideals, but I'd never die for the flag itself, because it is just a piece of cloth not worth getting killed over. I'd die for the ideals though.

That's what I meant. Our flag represents our country. It isn't a mere piece of cloth as exnaderite would suggest. The Canadian flag doesn't represent anything. I believe people should be able to burn a flag if they want, but exnaderite should understand that to most Americans, the flag isn't a piece of cloth.
