   If the no-burning amendment ever passes,

The funniest part is that burning is the proper way to dispose of a flag when it is worn out and no longer “respectable.”

After 9/11, everyone and their dog had flags on their cars, clothes, stickers, houses, etc. It didn’t take very long for them to get really ratty. It’s funny (to me personally, if no one else) that I find myself uncomfortable with the ratty flags because it seems casually disrespectful but I support the right of the people to burn the flags in protest, even if I wouldn’t do that myself.

(...) This is what I'm talking about. You support the right, but wouldn't actually perform the action. May I ask why not? JOHN (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
