MessageWe need to allow our people the right to use our flag so its well seen and they can promote it as much as possible. If they are unhappy we give them the right to burn it. Its all about Civil Rights for our people.

MessageThe above arguement has been presented to me so many time it makes me want to puke. A national flag is not the symbol of a government, it is a symbol of it's people. It is sad that we should have to come out and say that which is bloody common sense is law. But then again, there are more than a few people out there it seems that were not given the gift of such sense, and it is for the dignity of our people that we must protect their symbol from un-nationalistic perverts among us with absolutely no respect for others, their land, or the rule of law.

Against.
