    Code is for the government. The people should be free to celebrate the freedom it’s meant to represent.

      Sure, but if they really had the respect for it they pretend to have, they wouldn’t be wearing it.

        A piece of fabric is not worthy of respect, the values it’s meant to represent are. Disrespecting the flag against it’s own code is one of the greatest statements of that freedom

          Yes, but the people that wear the flag are generally the same ones that want to make burning it in protest illegal. The hypocrisy of wanting to force respect for the flag yet not respecting it yourself is what I am against.
