| Message | We are opposed. The flag is just a flag, it is the ideals behind the flag that are worth defending. Also we are opposed to the idea of Valruzia above all else, is that before justice? Is that before what is right? I would like to think we don't need to force people to do these things, that if we are running a just and fair country people won't feel the need to burn the flag. |

| Message | No, the flag is more important than any ideals, because there are no common ideals, but there is a common flag. |
