I'm with Abbey and Nevada and others, it's a flag, an inanimate object, I support the Constitutional right to burn it as an expression of the party burning it, IF IT IS THEIR FLAG, that they purchased.
I wonder if you were part of the American Revolution, what side you would have been on...the side of the Brits, who saw the burning of the british flag as treason, or the side of the American Revolutionists?
Making a tizzy fit over an avatar of a flag burning, and insisting that your fellow Americans side with YOU on this very "American-free speech issue", would be UNAMERICAN imho, and a mistake....
And honestly Pale, I can understand how it upsets you...but I do not see it as unamerican.
And in truth, I love that fact that you can come on here and bitch about it...and even though personally insulting to me, your avatar IS A FORM of FREE SPEECH, and I support your freedom to post such.
My post above....well....it was just me being whiney... sorry!
