If you answered yes, why should it be illegal?

Money can only be made by the government. Flags can be made by whoever wants to make them.

In any form too.

Why do many not consider it disrespect to wear as a skimpy swim suit but consider it disrespect to burn it?

Also it's technically not supposed to touch the ground iirc, but plenty do and are treated far worse. But burning is apparently a bridge too far? I just don't understand honestly.

Imo though it's a piece of fabric in the end, it isn't actually the ideals. It's someone's property. So I guess I don't get a lot.

As a citizen, and veteran, who understands true patriotism =/= flag worship, and the fundamental rights we are afforded, no.

Never understood the morons who say shit like "these soldiers fought and died for us so you better respect the flag/stand for the anthem" etc etc.

gtfo you ignorant clods. We serve in part to preserve our rights, which includes free speech and the right to peaceful protest. Kneeling for the anthem and burning a flag in protest is perfectly fine. I wouldn't do it, but I understand why some would and respect their right to do it.

Another point - the flag is not intended to be used as a fucking decoration that you plaster on hats and t-shirts and bumper stickers. Talk about disrespecting the flag? Look up the regulations for displaying the flag. A lot of that shit is technically illegal, though rarely, if ever, prosecuted.

Yeah, that's the type of petty bullshit they base their vote on. Their wisdom comes from their bowels and they vote for Trump.

And that kind of indignant dismissal is why you just had 4 years worth of him, and may get another 4 years on top of that.

But hey, at least people will have something to complain about on Twitter, so best of all possible worlds, I guess.

Join the club. I've been apolitical my entire life, but ever since Obama it seems everyone is fucking obsessed and you can't get away from it.

This board should be called Actual Poll of the Day 2 in order to encourage/enforce poll discussion instead of the same old politics as other boards.

Should it be illegal? No. But it's still a pretty immature and petty act imo.

Leaving aside retiring old flags, i'd generally assume its a form of protest and I consider protesting to be highly patriotic.
