Aren't you required by law to burn a flag to dispose of it or something?

How can anyone be outraged if someone burned their nation's flag? I couldn't give two shits if someone burned the Dutch flag. I don't get it.

and back in jonny-arab land they have the same mob mentality protests. except they dont use water bombs. it's really scary when you get a lot of angry people in an enclosed space with a target for their hatred/anger/rage. burning the country's flag is worng, i aggree. its just a shame that it has all come to this. we are all the same inside. some people are just more prone to doing unfortunate things for their beleifs. we have the same anger here. its raelly quite sad. ps. this comment isnt meant as an offence to anyone. but i dont like to end on an unhappy note...http://http://youtu.be/KbTS7320n64

Flag burning is freespeech, thus I support it. Nationalism is scary, in my opinion.

because in doing it you know, (unless you are dim), that you will get people upset. sometimes 'mob violence' upset. and to do this and advertise it on bacefook is just daft. lots of things that people do are wrong. and while im sure the man was trying to make a point, burning the country's flag in the country in question, just seems to be like putting your genetals in a lions mouth and then flicking his love spuds with a wet towel.

Not doing something because it upsets people is stupid. It's obvious the guy burning the flag is not the one that's asleep. The mindless mass that derives it's identity from a coloured rag is clearly brainwashed.

Because Dutch people are more liberal and aren't nationalist (or atleast I haven't met a Dutch nationalist)
Geert wilders would burn flags just for fun

This is exactly what occurred to me. This horde of Americans chanting U-S-A, bearing an eerie resemblance to the Arab peoples they loathe because of displaying precisely the same behavior. And how superior is your country anyway if you feel it is necessary to drive that superiority home by mindlessly shouting its name over and over again? To me, it's not a sign of superiority. It's a sing of a deep-rooted insecurity and fear.

i agree. however when you are surrounded by the mindless mass prodding them with a sharp stick cant be such a bright idea. burning their flag is the sharp stick. hatred is an underrated emotion. and as for being brainwashed, i think this is their attempt at keeping control of an uncontrolable situation. (the war on terror etc) not doing something cos it upsets people isnt stupid. ill-conceived, mis-guided and risky yes. if everyone showed a little restraint and compassion then this whole thing could have been avoided. but people being people find those two traits difficult when faced with something that aggrovates them.

I know burning a flag in that situation might not be a good idea if you're concerned with you personal safety because you might get mobbed.
I don't know how you can make people like this see their own stupidity/hypocricy.

thats what religeon is for. even then you can only make people see everyone elses faults. (rather like saying 'my imaginary friend is better than yours') the truth is people only see what they want to.

yes, the reasoning is to keep it from the hands of the enemy in war and typically when a flag is retired there's a ceremony and it's burned
my own view on flag burning, a flag is no more than a symbol and as long as you're burning a flag you bought and paid for, I respect and defend your right to burn it, wanna make yourself a dress, a swim suit or use it as toilet paper, more power to ya as long as you do it to the flag you purchased

Too much of anything can't be good. Conversely, anything in moderation is probably not so bad. But I wouldn't call the embarrassing display in the video in the post a good example of moderation.
