I think so, this is the United States of America, if you're in this country flying and marching under foreign colors, and otherwise maintaining allegiance to some other state, maybe you want to reconsider...I think americans are tired of having foreign flags waved contemptuously under their noses, if you want to anger the majority of actual bona-fide american citizens, just keep it up...

It's symbolic.  In battle, the flag should always be visible to the troops as an inspiration, and an indication of where the front line is. If the flag bearer goes down, someone else immediately picks up the flag and carries it high.  So we carry that over into all displays of the flag.

Firstly the UK has four different Nations each with a different legal system (Scoland, Wales, England and Ireland), there is no lwa in any the prohibits the flying of a flag specifically, however, some peole may fall foul of local building codes etc. \n\nI personally fly the Salitre (The scottish flag) on my property and feel that it is one of the many patrotric things that we would do well to incoporate from the USA.

It doesn't have to be burned if it touches the ground.  If a flag somehow touches the ground, it can be just picked up and set right.  If it has gotten dirty, it can be washed.\n\nThese things happen.  Burning the flag is the way to "retire" it after normal wear and tear makes it unseemly to display it.

I'm not sure but you sure caused me to think. Why would they raise their flag in our country? This is turning very weird lately, huh?

I don't care how many flags are flying as long as the American flag is the highest.  That is the way it is suppose to be, American flag the highest followed by the state flag and anything else you want to sent up as long as they do not fly at the same level.

The yellow fringe is only found on military flags, and the gold-fringed American flag is a military flag that represents Martial Law which is not subject to the Constitution. The one without is known as the peace flag of the United States and it symbolizes that the Constitution and the United States is alive and well.

The laws are those of the "flag" it flies.  If it flys a US flag then it's US law.  This is the reason when pulling into a countries waters the "flag" is lowered and the country they are now in has it's flag raised to show that you are now in that country, pull out into international waters and the flag "of choice" is raised, giving the country of choice rights over the boat.  This is why when in US waters they can't serve an 18yo a drink, but once they enter international waters they can, because the country you're "in" (sailing under) allows it.  \n\nPS Most cruises if you dump waste will kick you off at the next port of call.

OK it is very simple. when a flag is raised on a vehicle or a ship and that ship or vehicles is going into battle the flag waves. thus the stars lead the way. so the flag is sown on the uniforms the same way so that when the troops go into battle the stars lead the way as if it was waving in the wind. also when the Calvary carried the flags into battle on horseback the stars lead the way. that is the reason and not some stupid teenage immature answer

There are, as previously stated, embassies that belong to their respective nations.  However, the only lands that are owned by the U.S are public properties; as all private lands and structures are owned by, and therefore belong to, the private entities who own the titles to them (despite being protected, taxed, and in effect controlled by the U.S.).

The white background symbolizes peace and truth. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, but a prevalent post-facto interpretation has tied specific colors to specific continents:\n• Blue representing Europe \n• Black representing Africa \n• Red representing America \n• Yellow representing Asia \n• Green representing Australia (Oceania)\n\nThe Olympic flag is a symbol of peace, goodwill, and global solidarity and tolerance. True to this meaning, she has lent her colors to many athletes who were unable to compete under their own flag.\n\nAt Barcelona in 1992, athletes from a part of Yugoslavia not represented at the Games participated as independent athletes under the Olympic flag. They did not march in the parade of flags, but the Olympic flag was raised on their behalf during award ceremonies for them. In the 2000 Games at Sydney, four athletes from East Timor were allowed to compete under the Olympic flag because East Timor did not have international status as an independent country.

When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.\n..The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger.\n..No other flag ever should be placed above it.
