Why do some people take the flag so seriously while the flag has become what has--something people put on their cars until they fade to silver and white, sometimes with the caption "these colors never run". Yeah, but they fade.

Sorry...

I think the idea of making it illegal to deface a flag is as silly and as awful as making it illegal to deface a bible or other religious book, or drawing a caricature of prophet Mohammad.

what do you think?

It is a piece of cloth. If it represents a country it will be purely subjective, for none of us willo have the same impressions.For instance to my g/father it was a symbol of treachery and disception. He was an Apache scout.

I think flag burning or bible burning is stupid.

Well, I took the poll and choose 'nothing should be done'.

I personally wouldn't burn the flag...But considering that as an American, we have the right to protest and freedom of speech, as such and as ironic as it is...Burning the flag is one of those rights that shouldn't be denied to our citizens if they choose to do so.

As such, I have the right to disagree with their choice, but not the right to interfer or impede them from doing so because that is their right to do.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I don't think there will be a time where I'll ever burn the flag, but I never know. If things get bad enough, maybe I'll feel differently about it, like if Huckabee gets in office.

According to such, down, the world is Chinese sooner or later. That we are best because of China thinks of and USA develops the economic cooperation simultaneous, makes the Chinese ally realize that China now already can not defend their ally's benefit , that using the country who thinks that the strength contends with USA other drawing support from China splits out Chinese Bund , makes their relation break up by the fact that ally's attack acting , making China maintain neutrality to China,makes their consciousness have no way to unite, thereby can only cling to USA. But USA can draw support from China and homeland relation aggravating is in progress to Chinese peaceful evolution. One aspect disintegrates away the Chinese threat in Asian and host position , unceasingly, that one aspect uses their teenager's thought rebels against the tradition that they unite , makes them egoistic. The messenger world unites thereby within west regime. This good way being really achieving two things at one stroke.

The world must have the leading factor country and govern the country anyhow , be not that the eastern country is the Western countries. China is a threat: China has wanted to develop the economy , has developed thereupon. Think of the position having arranged the world , thereupon, having controlled USA , having consolidated China with economy foreign trade in Asian. Capitalism doctrine has implacable contradiction with public property. Be that social nature decides. Therefore China and early USA party war. After China is big and powerful, the certain meeting leading factor world replaces USA. Than USA waiting for Chinese queen war big and powerful, why do not take advantage of China not having developed time war big and powerful now? Do abandon politics benefit because of seeking trade benefit right away?

If being able to unite Korea, military base founding USA in Korea and , all being able to threaten China and Russian directly like that right away, USA troops can land to fight directly from Korea to the Chinese native country right away. But dispatch troops to the defensive needing to face all armed forces of Chinese and military affairs area then first from Taiwan, attack facing the submarine group. But resolve away Korea after uniting a problem, upper Chinese borderline troops has been more with regard to being fond of dealing with. The littoral highway that China builds along Yalu River has a gigantic weakness , the highway is single line connection style.Cut off the littoral highway as long as exploding, the common people can only escape to the high mountain , backup force is slow because troops there being no a highway , Jilin province final comes to the end of a blind alley. Especially the Shenyang military region backup force to frontier is also defective. Have no way with strategically important area Jilin province Lin Jiang City , Jilin governor public market , Jilin province Ji An City right away, Shenyang province Dan Dong City is listed in along the line all in Yalu River. Except Jilin province Hui Chun City, the province city marches towards other from Korea acquiring a thing easily. Chang Bai mountain making use of Korea Republic to want to call back is an excuse or, after Korea is unified , is right and proper to let Korea Republic and Korea dispatch troops to capturing Jilin.Be just Jilin thereby in inside of Chinese, be quartered USA troops. Blow up the Songnen plain , Chinese north part people having to be hard up right away. While marching towards from Korea, from Japan dispatches troops to the military region restraining Jinan, from Taiwan dispatching troops to the hinderland restraining southeast , Xizang is at the same time independent , make China collapse. This all be to be in the cards very much! The Jilin province falls into enemy's hands , will be equal to the Heilongjiang province fall into enemy's hands, beat the Shenyang military region , press up to Beijing right away on and on, the fake information propagating Beijing to the south at the same time falling into enemy's hands, uses Chinese riot thereby. A 1,400,000,000 country turmoil , consequence can only beneficial to USA.
