Burning the American Flag

[Asia]

Oh my, in mainland Britain, the national flags (NOT the Union Jack - that is 'reserved' for English patriots, Royalists and extreme right wing Nazis) cause so little offence in the main, I'm not sure anyone can be bothered burning them. Apart from maybe the Irish Republicans, and well, they have good reason. If like the UK nations and Ireland, each US state had it's own flag to be proud of there would be no need for such concerns. The Scots wear the St. Andrew's Cross (the Saltire), the Welsh wear the Dragon and the Northern Irish (Protestants), the Red Hand flag. Actually, ignore the above, while writing this down, I just realised I'm a reluctant pacifist! The Red Hand of Ulster and the Union Jack have the power to cause great anger.

I think we should stick to burning our bras *smiles*
