Hmmmmmmmm, very insightful............I would have to be honest and say no.....That flag is now symbolic of all that was evil with man kind. I can in clear conscience overlook the burning of that flag.

Dude, I am not going to let you try and back me in a corner. The Swastika was not a symbol of a country it was a symbol an ideal, and a very wrong one. It is lothed by the worlds population, and a dark stain on the fabric of human history. Although I hate the fuckin' French, you are comparing apples and oranges.

The Nazi flag was the German national flag from 1935-1945.  Evil is an opinion.

it was the symbol of the third Reich and they flew it as the national flag when they came to power. It isn't a German national flag. Since the flags before and after the swastika are very similar.

Like I said you and I both know what the nazi flag is symbolic of, don't even try and argue otherwise.

It was the flag of the nation of Germany, therefore a national flag.

I also know that the flags of France, the UK, the US, and Australia are symbols of colonialism and slaughter.  Why can't I burn them?

Funny how the nazi flag came and went with the nazi party, but hey, if you want the point take it. We both know the truth of it.

Like I said before, (twice I think)...........I don't give 2 shits whose flags YOU burn, you are not an American burning an American flag. You go ahead and burn anything ya want.

I guess for the same reason why, although you have the right to free speech you CAN'T yell fire in a movie theater...Yes we have the right to protest, but somethings are wrong and flag burning in America is one of them. But again, you burn our flag, your flag, I couldn't care less, I am not addressing my feelings about this to you or anyone else that isn't an American, who is burning an American flag. I really don't care if you burn down your house.

In America, the amendments give we americans the right to burn a flag to excersise our right to protest of our government, thus the polish, mexican, african, british who live in america can burn their flags as well, it may not be the mature, moral thing to do, and others have the right to disagree with it, that is what freedom represents, live your life despite what others think of your actions, if you want to live that way. Simple.... where's the debate?

Americans burning american flags are kinda wierd... if you dont love your country, leave it. and you are correct lowing, no american burned a soviet flag coz they know it will be the end of the world since soviet russia will launch nukes and shit... but only did South Korea burn soviet flag since the CCCP shot down a korean civilian plane.

Yes, and I'm pointing out the hypocritical nature of this when compared to many of your other statements.

If you don't see the debate then you are a piss poor example of being an American.

So, someone who doesn't feel any freedom should be taken away is a bad American?  Because if more Americans were like him, I imagine you'd have a much better name internationally.
