| Message | The destruction of the identity and history of our nation is a shame and will give people nothing to fight for. If we want people to be in our nation, secure, happy and healthy, we should make them proud of the nation that makes them secure, happy and healthy and maintain our traditions that made us exist, the tradition that comes from ancient generations, you want to destroy them, you want to create people who don't care about their nation and that disrespects the ones that give them their security, happiness and health. |

| Message | While I believe it is distasteful to burn the national flag, I vote no on making it illegal on grounds of democracy. Individuals should have the right if they wish, if this is truly a democracy. Disrespectful, yes. But should it be illegal, no. |
