freedom of speech is only allowed so far. people can say what they want but there might be consequences for some things thats said. i think that if you burn the flag that you are disrespecting the american government and the hole united states of america. i think that it should be a law that if you do any kind of disrespect to the flag for example throw it on the and stomp on it or burn it you should be pentalized for them actions. i believe if you burn the flag then your not a true american because real americans dont disrespect or betray there own country and take advantage of there rights that are given.

Mr. Folkerth - Dylan great post, but I have a question. What about the people that feel disrespected by the federal government, thinking that they don't care about them and that they are always left out. Burning the flag could be a form of expression that could tell the government, "hey look at me, you can't forget about me." Burning the flag doesn't always have to be for negative purposes.
