What are reasons not to burn an American flag?
I'm looking for good reasons to be opposed to flag burning. I'm not for the right to burn the american flag, I'm just specifically looking for reasons why it's wrong to burn an American flag. Thanks in advance.
The sentimental reasons for not burning the flag are as follows:
1) The flag stands for a nation that allows free speech.
2) The flag is a symbol for all the citizens of the United States since, the people are the power behind the government.
3) The flag stands for our soldiers in the field.
The political reasons for not burning the flag:
1) Your argument will not be heard after you burn a flag because angering the hearts and minds of your audience never works,
2) Flag burners are often ignored as ignorant or extremists.
Personally, I think that flag burning is silly and gets nothing but, free air time on the news as a loon.
Why do we take the american flag down at sundown?

The fact that I have the right to burn the flag is the reason that I never will.

It would be disrespectful. Whether or not you agree with this country's policies/politics, it is disrespectful to denegrate the symbol of the country.

to dispose of an old flag in that manner is acceptable
To do so in an idiotic protest is disrespectful to the men and women that have risked their lives fighting for what that flag stands for.

Because it gives the people the idea they can do with their own property as they please.
Because it gives the people the idea that they really do have freedom of speech and the freedom and enough of it to dissent from "official doctrine".
Because it gives the people the idea that the government doesn't own them.
it is disrespectful to the Chinese people who made them.
So quit burning those flags, because we don't need to be puting these ideas in people's minds!

It is a lack of respect issue, meant to incite the passions of those who take what it represents seriously.
I would never burn the flag, but it should never be forbidden, either.

the fact that thousands of people died to make sure we dont have a british or confederate flag representing our nation should be a good enough reason

you dont have the right to burn the american flag. its illegal to burn any flag (when in that country), let alone the beating that will come along from every corner of the street.
another reason these days would be because you'd be considered a terrorist. same goes with the israeli flag as well.

Because it is the national countries or any countries pride and joy as well as what our soldiers fought for in so many wars, only protesters or enemies of the state should burn their own countries flag. In which they make clear they are not welcomed.
