If somebody should burn a German flag before me I would only think "what a stupid *******", otherwise ignore him and walk away peacefully.

Maybe thats the good thing about being a German. We have come to realize that a flag is nothing but a piece of cloth. Certainly not worth spilling blood for it.

Imo flag burning should be allowed, at least if all necessary precautions about firefighting have been taking.

GS, I agree completely. As long as he buys his own he's free to do what he wants with it. It doesn't hurt me a bit.

Yeah, and it shouldn't be done in front of children because they might try to start a fire at home

I can think of better means of showing displeasure and rallying people to the cause than the burning of a nation's flag and alienating many people.

I don't understand how you do this and then turn around and want help and sympathy from the very nation that you showed your complete disrespect for. It's just plain stupid, and shows great stupidity in general.

The old saying goes - Don't bite the hand that feeds you....

Mere flag burning is so passé now. Latest trend from America is to crap on a burning flag:

"Perhaps the most disturbing scene of the afternoon, however, involved the man who pulled down his pants in front of women and children and defecated on a burning U.S. flag. This disgusting act actually elicited cheers from some members of the crowd, but we hope that the emotion it produces in the community is one of revulsion"-

Well, can you keep up with that?

If I would see you burn Finland´s flag, I would come and rip your head off. For Finns the flag is holy, a sacred thing that reminds us of the cost we payed to keep our independence.

Oh, and I´m not joking, I would kick you butt HARD.
