I am not offended by people wearing the flag on various portions of their clothes. It is the STOMPING on the Flag and making statements such as they did that really offends me. If it doesnt offend you, then you are not a decent American. jdn

<<Or fly it upside down?>> That's a distress signal.

Mq...Is there any difference between burning a Flag of one's country, and burning a Quran, or Bible, or other book that a religion considers sacred? If one "stands over" a Quran (as two of the complaints suggested happened at Qitmo) or "stands over" a Bible, should that be a problem? There are people all over the world who have burned the American Flag.... If the Americans burn other countries Flags, should that be a big problem? And all the etcs???? I do agree with you here... People are altogether too precious and delicate and easily offended. Anger makes them feel important or something. Or maybe they are frustrated egocentric megalomaniacs who feel important and want to boss people and attack them, so look for any slight to leap on and go berserk.
