I think it is disrespectful to those those who fought for this country and are fighting for this country right now
Burning the flag is more than making a statement. It is the utter disrespect and disregard to those who have fought to raise that flag. When you burn the American flag, it shows that you only want to make a statement because there are so many other things you could do to show dissatisfaction. Burning the flag disgraces the whole country, not just what ever political statement you argue over.
@9FD6DJJRepublican2yrs2Y
it symbolizes the country that we all live in, whether or not its run the way you want it to doesn't give you the right to destroy the symbol of the country you live in
@9F4SZM82yrs2Y
If you do not care about your country and its pride, there are plenty of people who will. Go live in another country and see how you like it.
@9GX8VWT2yrs2Y
The flag represents the deaths of the men and women that served to give you the freedom to be an idiot and disrespect their sacrifice. If you burn the flag you are saying “yes you died for me to be able to act the way I am, and have my freedoms, but screw you I’m going to do what I want because I’m immature.”
@9GS2CWX2yrs2Y
Hundreds of both men and women died fighting for that flag, so treat it worth the respect it deserves.
@9GGRRMB2yrs2Y
people should not burn the american flag because people fought and died so you could live in peace and have freedom people died protecting america and that flag so you should not be allowed to burn it that would be disrespectful to all the people who died so you could have freedom
@9FMJ6M9Republican2yrs2Y
No burnig the flag is wrong. It should ever burn the flag. If you don't like the Country you live in, then leave. Burning our flag and stomping on it is a terrible thing. It should never be allowed. People died to protect the country you live in todayit symbolizes the country that we all live in, whether or not its run the way you want it to doesn't give you the right to destroy the symbol of the country you live in.
@9GT6CYP2yrs2Y
The flag represents the men and women who fought to give this country it's freedom. If you have the decency to burn the flag, you definitely have the decency to leave this country if you dislike it so much.

@9FBR43S2yrs2Y
There are many people who have fought and died for that flag. That flag represents blood, sweat, tears that many have shed for that flag. It would be a dishonor to those who have fought to burn the flag.
@9F9NYZV2yrs2Y
Our founding fathers created that symbol you call a piece of cloth to unite against an unjust ruler so you can sit at home and watch whatever or go to church on Sundays
@9G3CYS9Republican2yrs2Y
It is not simply just a piece of cloth. It represents all of what this country has fought for throughout several decades. This flag represents freedom. . If one were to burn this flag, it would be the largest form of disrespect and brutality towards our country. Men and women fight and have fought for centuries for us to be able to live a free life. It is a symbol of our democracy, our freedom, and our patriotism.
@9G9XX2L2yrs2Y
It is not just a piece of cloth it's a piece of cloth me serve and fight for. We have always fought for it and it means everything to us. It's not just a flag it's a symbol of who we are.
@9FX32YK2yrs2Y
Why would you burn the thing that so many young men and women fought to protect how many lives where lost so you can live in peace.
@9G3TTR22yrs2Y
The men who fought for this country have sacrificed so much just for a single person who does not care all too much to just throw away what they gave us. The freedom, the power, the joy, etc.
@9GFNXS22yrs2Y
I think it is rude. Because the people that fought for our country are honored by the flag and burning it is just really disrespectful to everyone that served and our country.
@9GKF5VYRepublican2yrs2Y
The flag is a symbol of our country, that I am proud to be apart of. They are basically spitting on those who have fought for our country.
@9FW5RYF2yrs2Y
it is a peice piece of cloth that reprezents you and your country and if you burn it you turn your back on the country
@9GQPTKW2yrs2Y
It represents every single person who lay dead or wounded fighting for this country and keeping us safe. It is NOT just a piece of cloth.
@9GQKGGV2yrs2Y
Its more than just cloth, its all of the troops that have died for our country, all the people who risk their lives every day and all the people who sacrifice themselves every day.
@9GSZF4Z2yrs2Y
It stands for much more noble things than just the country itself, such as its beginnings and those who have died to protected the country, and burning it is disrespectful to them.
@9GYQJ9S2yrs2Y
The flag represents our country, and if you want to burn it you should be deported from the country, I dont care if you were born here, or where you get sent to, but you shouldn't be allowed to be here anymore.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
So you are against freedom of speech and freedom of protest? Sounds like you are the unAmerican one here...
@9GBMNRG2yrs2Y
A flag is not just a simple flag, is a symbol of a country's pride and how it was created, how we, the united states, gained independence from britain, The flag is a symbol of freedom and bravery
@9G43LXM2yrs2Y
It is the american flag. People fought for this country for years so we have what he have now. They created that flag as a symbol. if you dont like this country enough to burn the flag than why are you here. that is disrepectful.
@9GCY2G52yrs2Y
It is just not a piece of cloth. That flag represents all of the men and woman who have served this country.
@9GZQ4652yrs2Y
It symbolizes the freedom that we work to maintain and that the military fights to protect every day. If they truly believe it's just a piece of cloth, they shouldn't mind people burning pride flags and black lives matter flags.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
You are free to burn those too I guess, but you're probably still just homophobic/racist anyway, which is bad.
@9FCTPHD2yrs2Y
The Flag represents freedom to the world and if you don't respect that then you don't know what it means to be an American.
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
To many it’s a symbol of colonialism, and America has long soiled its reputation in front of the world. America stands for its own freedom in the majority of conflicts, while it does often side with the right side, we have a long history of messing with other nations for our own gain.
@9G7ZJDS2yrs2Y
Many people have served our country and the flag is a symbol of respect to our country and our military so It deserves respect.
@9G2N2LB2yrs2Y
burning the symbol of our country is laterally abuse to our whole country and your showing you wish not to be here
@B5NVT4G1mo1MO
It is the symbol of the place I live and the place I love, and it makes me angry to see someone disrespect it and destroy it.
@B4H7XXB3mos3MO
It represents your country, which means its a symbol for freedom. Destroying in the name of anything is shameful and wrong!
@B359N9JRepublican5mos5MO
Burning a flag is like burning your honor, the American flag is more than just a piece of cloth, it is a symbol of freedom
@B2ZY6JSRepublican5mos5MO
burning it represents that you don't care for America and should be a crime to burn the flag and or you can go to a different country
@B2XJMSC5mos5MO
It's our country's flag why would you want to burn it. The flag represents everything great about out country including our freedom.
@PatrioticBeaver7mos7MO
Throughout human history countries, cultures, creeds, and religions have used symbols as a physical representation of their beliefs and values. Symbols are the social glue that humans can stand behind. They have been used to represent beliefs that people put above themselves, sacrificed for, and in many cases give their lives for. Every group like this recognizes those that have sacrificed for these beliefs and associate them with the symbol or flag. That is why, for example, we have a flag code. You are not respecting the colored cloth, you are respecting what that cloth represents and what many people have given their lives for. Burning the flag is as disrespectful as going to national cemeteries and spitting on the graves of fallen soldiers.
@9QZMPFR12mos12MO
State-owned enterprises also represent the spirit of the country, and if the flag can be burned at will, it means that the person has spurned everything that his or her country is proud of and it is also a sign of disrespect.
@9QWMV9V12mos12MO
It represents our country and everything it’s been through, as well as the men and women that fought for the freedom this country gives us.
@9MYMTY31yr1Y
Dumbest thing I ever heard. for every fiber on that flag there are souls that have been taken from us, family members who served the ultimate sacrifice to our country. If you burn the flag, you should be immediately deported and lose your US citizenship.
@9M9TDG3Independent1yr1Y
You shouldn’t destroy something for our country, it is disrespectful and shows you don’t respect our country.
@9LZ8JBDRepublican1yr1Y
Burning the bible is a sin because it represents the lord and savior Jesus Christ so burning an American flag is disrespecting the land we live on.
@9LVJH4K1yr1Y
no there is history behide that flag anyone that burns the flag should be imprisoned for at least 2 years
@9LTTSKXIndependent1yr1Y
The flag represents all the trials our people have gone through throughout our countries history, this including soldiers, slaves, and woman. Burning it is disrespectful to all of our history regardless if it is "just a piece of cloth"
@9LTRVP41yr1Y
its our countrys flag if you wanna burn it you can get out of our country that our ansestors fought for
@9LSQXC7Republican1yr1Y
The flag shows all the people who died for our country and shows our freedom with people burning it shows disrespect to those who died to keep our country free and those who left there families and had them lose there friends and all the sacrifices they made to keep the flag flying.
@9LQ77TW1yr1Y
So how come money is so important? It's just a piece of paper but it represents something as valuable as a currency
@9JS86NZ1yr1Y
You should not be able to burn the flag because that symbolizes our country and that we are a free country.
@9HW2HP8Republican2yrs2Y
The Flag should not be burned because it represents the amount that americans fought for to gain our freedom and everything the united states went through to get to the point where we are right now in this day and age
@9HPYHMR2yrs2Y
the flag inst just a flag its what we stand for the people that lost there lives to serve and protect this country. so no burning the flag isnt ok its the same thing as telling countless lost solders they can beat it. if you dont like this countrys flag or history you can leave.
@9HKM9CW2yrs2Y
The American Flag is made out of cloth, and that piece of cloth represents our freedom of our country.
@9F8KJQ92yrs2Y
The flag is not just a piece of cloth its symbolizes the people who fought for us to save our counrty and it represents our country.
@9F72CLX2yrs2Y
I see it extremely disrespectful to burn our countries flag and I believe if you feel the need to do so you should move somewhere else.
@9LZK2Q7Republican1yr1Y
It is what represents our country and if you burn that, it is like burning down your home and values because that flag is the representation of the United States of America.
@9F838CPRepublican2yrs2Y
Your wrong and don't respect the rights that you have and you should be sent away to another country to see how good you really have it.
@9F835QH2yrs2Y
It is more than a flag, people fought for our freedom, and for them to discredit the flag is a stab in the back.
@9LTSQ43 1yr1Y
The flag symbolizes millions of life's lost in war, many battles won, the care and freedom of the USA
@B4SBG3LRepublican 3mos3MO
It represents our heritage, history, and freedom. It’s disrespectful to the people who founded and served this nation.
@B4S9T8L3mos3MO
The flag represents the United States' history, freedom, and people. It's disrespectful to our founding fathers and the people that fought for a free nation to burn the flag.
@B3KMW9R 4mos4MO
The founders of this country have fought under the same flag that you’re burning. They gave their life for freedom and liberty of all people in America. If you want to burn the flag of the country you’re staying in, leave.
@9GPP8YB2yrs2Y
It represents our country, and if the flag is unimportant to you then you should not be in this country.
@9GKP4X2Republican2yrs2Y
It is a piece of cloth that represents our freedom and what was done to fight for that freedom and should be respected
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
Then burning a pride flag, which represents the acknowledgement and equality of a large group of people, should also be against the law?
@9FTP3ZWIndependent 2yrs2Y
well theres people fighting out for our country so it would be disrespectful to to put it up after you dropped it.
@9G9GJY2 2yrs2Y
1000s of people risk their lives to cross that border (which I think should stoped) just to see that “useless piece of cloth” flying instead of El Salvador’s flag.
@9GJFKSP2yrs2Y
you should be able to burn the lbgtq flag because it has no purpose but the American flag stands for freedom and liberty and if it weren't for the sacrifice of soldiers they wouldn't be able to stand for their bull crap and they think they own America they are just a rodent that manged to get under the protection of the government because they play the victim. SOUTHER BY THE GRACE OF GOD, JOIN OR DIE 1776
@9F56FS42yrs2Y
It is not just a piece of cloth. It is a cloth that we carried for centuries as we fought for our country, fought for our rights, as we fought to make things better for America and become independent. It is so much more than "just a piece of cloth". It is who we are and represents our home.
@9G7ZJJCRepublican2yrs2Y
Well america fought for the flag in a brutal war for peoples freedom today so i would say that it means a lot to this country
@9FZ7J6C2yrs2Y
No the flag should not be burned because it represents the hardship and the battles that we foaght to make the united states
