http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/ I'm doing a project at school on the 1st amendment of the constitution and was worndering about this issue. Does flag burning take freedom of speech too far? I mean think about it. If they started banning this, before we know it, were losing constitutional rights by the week. Where would it stop? I just wanted some other opinions. I myself do not think this is moral. However I do think it is important that our freedom of speech isnt affected. (Please no bad language. This is a serious issue, so dont ruin it with your mindless vulgarity) Wed, 26 Jan 2005 04:0:39 CST en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig4223668 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig3975656 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig3911984 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST free speach means free speach, people can express themselves however they want, the 1st amendment should NOT have limits http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig3430586 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST i think this is a good thing yourdoing http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig3227476 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST burn the flag fly it upsidedown while burning http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig3035033 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST ogfskr gfye tblgpmed neatgvsry lwgzha bseldqygc oxjws http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig2889656 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig2206680 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig2053523 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do not believe that flag burning should be legal. Whoever had the thought that burning a flag as a proper right is either from another country or has crap for brains. I was in the Military for over 10 years and this flag you want to burn IS a symbol of liberty and freedom to me. Now if it is not a similar symbol TO YOU, then you should find another country that either accepts retardation and tolerance OR move to a country that exhibits violence against any liberties or freedoms. When comes down to it, people from other countries that see our flag, look at it as a symbol of freedom from presecution from their countries and they would move high heaven to get here. One reason is they can do something fundamentally necessary, they can make a difference in others lives. It is a sad day when another country sees our idiots who burn this country's flag and says that they are protesting our countries leaders. Get the hell out if you can't handle a democracy. If you remember, the British didn't have much time here when we wanted to make this country a wonderful democracy. We are suppose to honor this flag as a representation of our freedoms and the freedoms of those we helped throughout the ages. If you do not know, go back to school or read a book on our country and its struggles. That is why U.S. Flag burning is an outright slap in the face to democracy and the country in where we live. I know that all the military boys and girls look to the flag as a symbol of hope in any location of the world because we all help out one another. If you can't see that then you should go up and slap a U.S. Soldier in the face and tell them how you feel about this country. The military is protected by law, just as the flag should be. If you still don't see some truth in this message, then you should move to Canada or Mexico because there is no place for people like you in my country. Idiots!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig793456 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The americans who want to ban flag burning are more conserened with the symbol than the fredoms it represents. Whats the point in honoring the flag if you can't destroy it? the aful thing about laws that ban flag burning is that they are destroying the ideals that they think they are trying to protect http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig790566 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Why should it be illegal? It's not physically hurting anyone... part of what makes this country so great is the freedoms it allows. As offended as I am to see a burning US flag, I can't possibly condemn it - the right of ordinary citizens to burn a flag in protest is part of what makes this country what it is - and I'm proud to be a citizen of a country so tolerant. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig453517 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I once heard this quote: "If you want to burn our flag wrap yourself in it first." Yes, burning the American flag should be outlawed all over the world. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig423631 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Sure you can. You'll just have, to quote toby keith, a boot up your a$$ and an agry mob of proud americans with pitchforks and torches following you 24/7 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig368436 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST and yes it should be banned and i hope thst the partiot act is passed and when your caught doing it jae witch i bet you do i hope they use the patriot act to put you in jail for ever with little cause and thats it for tyonight cy all later http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/flagburning/#sig368431 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I think that people should have the right to burn flags. I beleive that there are other, more civil ways to protest and show what you believe but if someone wishes to burn a flag they should have that right.
