*ponders* "Freedom of speech" doesn't seem quite right, as there's no speech involved. "Freedom of expression", I guess.

Either way, I think it should be allowed. Not encouraged, obviously, but not banned.

I don't agree with doing it, but if someone wants to, I don't think there should be a law stopping them.

I don't see why it should be outlawed even without the Constitution telling me what should.

Doesnt hurt anyone. Though if i see it, then the act of burning a flag might hurt the person doing it :P

Banning the Burning of our flag would be against our freedom of expression. Terrible Idea.

Also, has anyone played Saints Row and listened to the talk-radio show where they discuss flag-burning? And one guy says "YES! I've been saying this for years! Round them up and burn them!" Then there's an awkward silence and somebody says: "FLAG burning, tom. Flag burning." "Ooooh...." :P

I don't remember that =/ But then, there are SO many episodes of the Simpsons now that it is ridiculous. I prefer Futurama anyway...

(I've been at university, with no access to TV, for over a month. After a while, my brain starts showing reruns, and everything gets related back to TV somehow =P It's interesting...)

I really don't care if people burn the flag or not, but it definitely shouldn't be banned. It would be against the constitution to ban that.

If you burn the flag, you are being disrespectful to this country. You don't deserve to live in a place as free as the U.S.A.

im against flag burning because it is highly disrespectful to the nation whos flag your burning. i dont think it should be protected by the constitution because i think you can find different ways of showing you dont like something. you dont have to burn flags.

No, it should not. It is protected by the first amendment because a court case declared that it was 'symbolic' speech.

That's about as ironic as you can get, claiming that the U.S. is free and then saying that when you exercise your supposid freedom, you shouldn't be allowed to live here. If we were to ban burning a flag, we would be putting a piece of cloth above what it suposidly represents.
