ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things

if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it’s just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth

How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can’t do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: https://files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4

I remember when that video came out and I was truly impressed at watching good regulations in action.

Luv me some EU I does. 🇪🇺

So, it burns or not? And how well?

There are 5 seconds of preparation to light it, and as soon as the flame touches the flag it’s cut. Who edits video like that?

The flag seems to be “on fire” for the first second or so before going out, I’m pretty sure that the guy was trying to relight it (the inflammability of the material was already demonstrated, hence the cut).

So in other words, yes it burns, but not very well

What if we burned a flag, not in protest, but in celebration of the very freedoms that allow us to burn a flag in the first place?

Freedom of speech covers what comes out of a mouth not what goes into it.

The correct way of retiring of a flag is to burn it.

If it’s your flag, do what you want. If it’s a flag owned by another person, you should ask for permission

And obviously acquire consent from the other. Don’t just ask and then do.

Terms of use “consent”?

From your continued visibility from the street, you give consent for burning any flag I don’t like in your property.

I remember watching an early reality show in the 90s/early 2000s. They had Brits, Yanks, Kiwis, Aussie’s etc. One morning they awoke to find their country’s flag burned.

The USA contestants seemed quite angry and the rest were ‘meh’.
