The flag fetishists in the US is damn weird.
The US is damn weird
At that age, being a country is still new and exciting. I mean, look at Belgium, they’re also fucking weird.
excuseer?
Nee ik ben het met ze eens. Jullie zijn vreemd.
Ik vrees dat ik het niet eens kan ontkennen…
Belgian = 👎
Funny German = 👍
This is a myth perpetuated by the flag manufacturers to sell more flags. Why would you need to burn your flag because it got dirt on it? That’s what washing machines are for.
It’s also what the US flag code says. The only time it recommends burning is when it’s so tattered it’s not fit for use anymore.
And this is while most people who say the flag can’t touch the ground ignore the other rules in the flag code (that doesn’t apply to civilians) that state that the flag should not be flown on the same pole as another flag, and in the event that it is flown alongside another flag on a separate pole, both flags should be flown at the same height.
Only same height if it’s another national flag pretty sure
I’m curious if anyone else has the same kind of flag etiquette that the US does
Like if there’s any other countries where burning is the only acceptable method of disposal?
I’m pretty sure there are plenty countries where burning is a huge offense.
Burning the US flag except to dispose of it is considered offensive in the US as well.
I thought flags were made of non-flammable materials to prevent people from burning them.
No that’s stupid. There aren’t specific materials it’s made of lol. It’s that the colors were specifically designed by Lincoln to prevent people from desecrating it
