No, the ironic thing is that the US flag stands for the FREEDOM to burn it.

This even being an issue is very sad. Back in the day burning the Flag was just wrong now it seems not to matter. Our society is going to hell in a hand basket if you know what I mean!!! The kids brought up these days have no respect or morals or class and this is a fact!! Somewhere along the line we lost all those values. The 90's on the kids got out of control and I hope someday we all can get those great values back and teach our kids all about them.

It would depend on WHY you're burning it. If it's old and has served it's purpose and you're retiring it honorably, go ahead. If you're doing it to **** off your neighbors, I wouldn't condone that. A flag means too many things to a person. For me it doesn't mean the government but the land itself and the common folk who live there; I do however, realize that a flag is just a symbol. It's cloth and will eventually fail. The Land doesn't. Other people don't take this liberal of a view. Be kind to people. Don't burn their flag.

Yes, of course it is. The flag is a symbol of the land in which you were born or the land of your nurishment and legal residence. You disrespect yourself and the land and you make a ridicule of the precious lives that were lost and blood shed defending the land.

It's disrespectful to insult the nation that is providing your land, rights, and leadership. It's just mean, not immoral

Yes. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is moral.

Not if you are retiring it properly.
