It's not to me because I don't take it so seriously. But I can see it's clearly offensive to some. It's also protected political speech in the United States, so I support anyone's right to do it.
It doesn't offend me. If I buy a flag, it's mine. If I want to burn it, it's my right. My allegiance is to the US Constitution, not some piece of fabric.
Yes, offensive is a perception. And I personally perceive it as offensive. If your question was, "is flag burning illegal" then I would give a different answer. Though admittedly I do think it should be illegal.
Yes it is. Flag burning is betraying your country. For the US: Americans fought to be able to put up a flag and call themselves independent from Britain's rule.
Look at the little hypocrite, trying to make a political statement yet goes home and still lives here. Guess they love Alan Sorkin, The Newsroom is teh bestest show evar.
It's destroying something of a strong representation of beliefs. Wouldn't LGBT people be offended to see a 🏳οΈβ🌈 flag being burned? Flags don't simply represent a place 🏳οΈβ🌈 = 🇺🇸 = 🇯🇵 = 🇷🇺 = 🇬🇧 and so on.

A little bit i guess. Just seems like you shouldn't be here if you hate the country

I've no emotional bond with the flag. I don't find it offensive.
And what country are you from?
@busybeingwhite Finland.
I love that country
Its offensive for me cause I love my country and history. And burning flag in my opinion is disrespect towards country.
i don't really care
i think it's more offensive for a country to bomb or nuke other countries than burning flags
Yes it is. Flag burning is betraying your country. For the US: Americans fought to be able to put up a flag and call themselves independent from Britain's rule.
Its supposed to an offensive statement against the current administration ruling under the flag. Nothing wrong with it as a farm of protest.
A flag is merely a symbol - and burning a flag is utilising that symbol to make a point.
If your worldview is so fragile as to be threatened by someone making a point, then you are doing everything wrong.

Grr... there's an emogi with the LGBT flag that apparently doesn't work here.
They could print a flag on a paper and then film burning it to show how rebellious they are and all the nine yards..
. As far as I know, they just need attention. Is it offensive? No, it's just stupid.
Yes, I find it offensive and sick. I do not believe there should be laws against it because we have freedom of Speech in the U. S.
Still those that do it are mentally ill and very sick repulsive toxic people.
This is just my opinion.
Its a peice of cloth lol
So what haha
People getting all triggered
I find it very disrespectful but as long as they are not hurting anybody physically, sexually or emotionally, then let them do it.
Is burning a quran offensive? Is burning a bible offensive?
If you said yes to at least one of those then yes, flag burning IS offensive.
Burning an American flag is very disrespectful. I'm in the military and I beat the shit out of someone recently for doing that.
you can't force someone to like something, and burning a flag is just a speech symbol
No. In fact, it's both the prescribed method of dealing with worn flags and an important political speech right.
