I understand free speech and all, but what is it supposed to accomplish? Do the liberals see this as the same thing as the Mohammed cartoon contests, and do it to retaliate? Can one of you help me understand this? It's just a bit strange to me. I don't wish him harm or death, but it just seems you can make whatever point in a different way.

Much like posting on getbig, it does absolutely nothing.

It's simply a way for the weak and have-nots to feel like they are sticking it to the man. Its similar to a tool that gets off "owning minds" on the internet. They do it because in real life they are shunned and abused. The flag burners know that no one will beat the fuck out of them and they can safely raise hell...
I say - if you want to really show your hatred and opposition to the military - have some fucking balls and head to HMC Quantico and stomp all over the Marine Corps colors... That would show me you believe in something with a conviction

Hard to pull some shit like that off in the South.

This is true - but even in the South they can still hide behind the protection of the very police that they love to hate!!

Those who do it do so to spite others, not to accomplish anything else.

Royal waste of time if you asked me.

loads of things are hard to pull off in the south; hygiene, culture, higher education, owning a passport, using a passport, living in a home without wheels,

How about getting some pussy that isn't your sister, can't be done in the south.

It's about the symbol.  Burning the flag is like saying you want to burn the country down.
