The flag is a living thing in the sense that it represents an idea, and that idea is alive.
This is like V for Vendetta. V says 'ideas are bulletproof' but they're obviously not flame retardant 'cos he got himself all burned up.
Or something.

WHAT?
Okay, it's official. I have given up on the idea of intelligent people ever being the majority.

I think flag buring is quite acceptable. I don't see what the big deal is. But then again i think patriotism is stupid, for some of the same reasons why i think religion is.

The American flag, as a symbol of unity, is dead. So many racist, hate-mongering, small-minded "patriots" have paid lip service to it while wiping their ass on what it stands for that a lot of people find it slightly shameful to even be associated with it.

Is it just me, or are fundies stuck on the 'it's alive!!oneone!'-track from the abortion debate? It's a bit stupider when used in this 'un, but eh... it's Fundie (tm)

Thanks to Hawker I have an answer. I've known for a long time you're not to fly a tattered flag, Burning it as disposal isn't an issue, in fact it's recommended. Why?
Because you're not making a statement.
Thanks Hawker.
To the other point, That it's alive....Would you fly something alive tied up high? The answer is frightening

Well, my living flag goes to the BP and gets me smokes when I ask it politely.
It's been starting to date lately, and we are concerned about its choices. We are very worried that it might take up with the "Hammer-&-Sickle" crowd - A horrible peer group.
Meanwhile, I am working assiduously to ensure that the "Flag/Human Marriage Act" passes. I mean, nothing is better than rolling into bed with a nice piece of cloth.

You consider it a living thing...I consider it strangely akin to idol worship. I recall hearing an ancient spirit having it in for that kind of thing...

BTW, since thousands of Iraqi civilians are considered living things, I say anyone who burns one should be charged with murder. They would if they burned a person to death now wouldn't they? They're both living things!!

Burning is the proper and respectful way to dispose of a flag that is too worn to be flown.
You lose.

This gut is so high, he thinks the flag is talking to him.

Only that the flag is considered a SYMBOL. To be a living thing it has to breath, digest and have bodily functions. Well, think about this, animals are living things............see the problem?

If the flag is a living thing, so is my chair. Be careful not to hit it too hard.

A piece of cloth is not a living thing, you cretin. If it were the ones on the moon would have die of asphyxia.
