[QUOTE="OicnaiC, post: 1295920, member: 6712"] The one that irks me the most is seeing a different flag being flown above the Stars and Stripes. Even in my teen years of angst, anarchy and hating the government, I still held great respect for the flag. I always took great pride in the fact that I could burn a flag or mutilate it anyway I wanted to but I would never do so myself. The worst I ever wanted to do was raise the flag upside down on a prominent building in town as a symbol that this country is in distress and needs a major change. (Which oddly almost conforms to the flag code, now that I read it). I think the "offically correct" ways were made not so much to tell everybody how they are required to do things but more to set a universal standard for people to go on i.e. properly setting silverware at a table. You can do it however the hell you want but to show the greatest respect, this is how it should be done. I do agree with this but I also think dragging around a real flag, using it as a blanket or cape is ignorantly disrespectful. Get a red, white and blue blanket. Put the flag on a pole where it belongs. [/QUOTE]
