What would happen if flag burning was banned?

**Dunecat** · February 13, 2009, 09:23 AM

We would then eat them.

Throw poop.

And drop our pants.

Is that really what anti flag-burners want?

(I know this is an old issue but I found these sweet pics... and Koreans do actually eat flags in place of burning them.)

I defy anybody not to find that hilarious. It's like a man angry he just got conned by the world's fastest prostitute.

Is that a Korean nationalist ripping up a Japanese flag?

In the case flag burning was banned, all other possible abuses of a nation's flag or insignia would be banned as well, so none of the above would be an option.

But I've got to admit that the photograph with the half-naked man standing above the flag is hilarious.

These acts fall in to the category of flag-desecration. So if a country bans flag desecration, these acts will be considered illegal.

Thread fails.

Edited insults.

Why would you feel the need to dismiss that? What information did you examine before you posted. Edited. That's my guess, because if you searched for this image you'd realize that it WAS because flag burning was illegal he bit the flag. I do not know the technicalities of korean law and civil liberties. I simply reiterated information. However I'd guess you aren't aware of the nuances of South Korean law either, and so Edited. Saying "Thread fails" is not funny if it in no way close to fails.

Don't feel embarrassed though. Edited. people often make this mistake of assuming condescension is humourous. Be aware though that you're just cluttering up the thread with unfunny and nonconstructive posts that no one desires.

The short answer -- some people will go to jail that would otherwise be free.

**zachattack** · February 14, 2009, 04:12 AM

Flag burning is cool and trendy. I think I'll go do it now, and then slit my wrists.

Haha, muslims could learn a thing or two from these hilarious people!

Making flag-burning illegal would actually be a very non-patriotic act in these times of crisis. It would cost many jobs in the flag-producing industry.

For all people who understand German: Have a look at this hilarious satire:

You need to calm down. I won't reply to your personal remarks in kind, as it's now up to the moderators to deal with that.
Only one thing: you are making this place unpleasant right now. Cheer up dude.
I was merely suggesting that if a country bans flag desecration instead of only flag burning, these acts will be illegal as well.
I am aware of the fact the Korea bans the burning.

You missed my point that you did it in an unpleasant way. Obviously we are all aware that flag burning was banned, what you seemed to miss was that this (and other alternatives) were commited in leiu of that.

Post fails.

**saglam2000** · February 14, 2009, 09:49 AM

better idea: tear the flag up and use it to clean the insides of a porta-potty that has been used....frequently (and when i say insides, i mean the place you dont even want to look at)

**Aldgarkalaughskel** · February 14, 2009, 10:06 AM

I didn't miss your point you had no point other than ranting in an UNPLEASANT way.

Regarding the point of this thread...

Is that really what anti flag-burners want?

Well, is that it?
