| Message | Burning or destroying our flag would seem to suggest that you are scum, why would anybody want to destroy a symbol of our nation? |

| Message | Desecration implies an object is sacred. The national flag is not a religious icon, symbol or artifact requiring the protection of law. It belongs to all Beluzians, who may fly it or burn it as they like. |
