You couldnā??t get the country community to piss on the Dixie Chicks if they were on fire. And this community has a VERY long memory. Sure they can say whatever they like but we can also not buy their record if we likeā?¦and we like. I can not remember the last time I heard a Dixie chickā??s song on the radio. I hope they invested their money well because itā??s the last they will be seeing for a while.
How about if they weren't on fire? :DQuote:

Justice indeed, on our part, will save us from those wars which would have been produced by a contrary disposition. But how can we prevent those produced by the wrongs of other nations? By putting ourselves in a condition to punish them. Weakness provokes insult and injury, while a condition to punish often prevents them." -- Thomas Jefferson
Why burn flags?
Your dead grandmother has plenty of old clothes.
Why on earth would you waste your time on even trying to get a legislation like that in,seriously at the end of the day its only a piece of material and there is people out there right now that are angry with the american government and what they have done or are doing right now - why can't they express themselves after all that is what having freedom is all about is having the free will to speak or in this case express it.:thumbsup: :stoned:

Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation
Are there penalties for violating the Flag Code?
No. The Flag Code is intended as a guide to be followed on a purely voluntary basis to insure proper respect for the flag.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
No it is not just a piece of material. No more than the constitution and the bill of rights is just a piece of paper.
And yes you should have the right to burn it but when you do you should also be prepared to have your face punched in by those expressing themselves on your face.
I wish just once a gust of divine wind would wrap a burning flag around one of those idiots and disfigure them for life. They can explain to their grand children how they got their scars.

The backlash may not have reached Australian shores, but here, the right of a Melbourne artist to express an opinion - in his case, burning an Australian flag and mounting it as an exhibition piece - has landed him in trouble with the law. The flag, which was to have been on display on a billboard outside a Melbourne gallery, lasted just two days before a policeman, claiming to have acted on complaints, removed it. The artist, Azlan McLennan, says he wants it back. The police say they are considering whether to press charges. Legal experts say there is no case. But in Canberra, Federal Government backbencher Bronwyn Bishop has announced her intention to introduce a private members' bill outlawing the burning of the Australian flag. Heather Ewart reports.
CROWD CHANTS: Save the Australian flag!
