Hi all. This might seem off-topic but I think it is a topic that will interest many Registrants now and many more in the future.
I want to display my disloyalty to Amerika and I'm wondering if I can destroy the flag as I wish. I'm pretty sure it's okay to burn it so I would think that it is okay to cut it or drag it around in the mud. I would like to display it half-destroyed and hanging upside down. I also would like to use one as a front door mat. Does anyone know what is legal and what is not?

I consider myself a patriot and a crusader for liberty and the original intent of the constitution. I have no idea what the current status of this supreme court issue is because it changes often.
Just wanted to tell you that it does my heart good to know that someone is out there expressing an interest in trashing the flag. I consider this one of the most patriotic acts. As long as there are flag burners not in custody I know I'm still in the country that I want to be in.

Anything so symbolic as burning the flag shows passion for the nation.
I want to live in a country where it is legal to burn the flag and no one would ever want to burn it.
The ultimate act of how one feels about the nation using the flag is similar to what I did.
I was taking down my shadowbox, which included a flag. I held the flag in my hand, and without the least bit of though simply tossed it into the trash, with the coffee grounds, food waste and other trash.
No ceremony, no drama, simply tossed away and not even considered for all the good it stands for because of the bad...........
Kind of like me........... Have done much more good in my life than bad and probably will continue that trend, but essentially been disregarded and tossed away because of something I did bad, I admitted was bad, continue to get help to make sure that bad never happens again, but all the good, means nothing.
Dont burn the flag, just disregard it, if you have one, non chalantly toss it away with the rest of the trash.
Maybe one day you will fly it proudly again, but my guess it will have a big red star in the middle of it.

i think the big question to ask is if your willing to spend time in jail to find out if its ok or not. Just because its written somewhere saying its ok to do it doesnt mean you wont get arrested. Plus you also have to consider the fact they might get you on other laws for the burning part, creating a public niusance or whatever they decide to pull on you.
