I see nothing wrong with it.. it represents the South ... not slavery, not racism.. the South wanted to succeed from the United States and that is why they had the Civil War... the Confederate Flag represented the South in the Civil War-It's part of our history, and some people just like the way it looks.. it's not the Symbol of the US

Even though I am an American I have to agree with you.  So many people in this country take what we have for granted.  The south has always been labeled as an area of high discrimination..but I have been all around this country and trust me..it exists just as much in the north and out west as it does here..I think its the American philosophy of me me me..and if you are not like me then you are against me..its a sad thing but luckily not all Americans are like that!

If the flag is an United States of America, the proper disposal is to burn the flag.  If you are an American and feel uneasy about doing that, call a local Vet's organization, they may do it for you. (I remember seeing something on the news that they do this).  If it is another nation's flag, I would would also burn it. It sounds strange, but it is the most repsectful.

The Confederate flag represents one thing: TREASON. Lincoln should've charged the leaders with treason, as the Constitution states, then we wouldn't have this problem. So much for being nice. Now they still wave the flag 150 years later. YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!!!!!

They have pride for where they came from. Though I'm an American (I was born here) I'd still wave a Chinese flag along with an American one.

I would not say most but some and they are entitled to their opinion.I really don't care who likes or dislikes the Americans.That is their problem if they don't like us.Not ours.

Why is the Irish flag waved on St. Patrics day?  Because people who came from that country have a reason to unite under it, as does any American who respects their past.\nAre we at War with Mexico?\nGet over it.

You also rarely hear your national anthem.  We are a country that is proud of every aspect of it.  We fought for what we have.  We live in a society that teaches us to be proud of where we live and respect where we are from.  The flag is a symbol of our freedom.  It is way more than just a flag to us.  I realize that is something that you may not understand.  The stars and stripes of the flag all represent something.   The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies and the 50 stars represent the 50 states.  It isn't "just a flag" it is a symbol of who we are and how we got to be that.  :)

There are some blacks who see the flag as what it is.. the former battle flag of the Confederate Army that represented States' Rights and opposition to the Federal government. It was not a symbol of racism until the Klan hijacked it. \n\nAlso, there are many blacks who are descendents of the handful of black soldiers that fought on the side of the confederacy.  There is also a huge biking movement in the black community and the flag is used by a lot of bikers.\n\nI do know that there are even black Sons of the Confederacy in Nashville.

I honor our servicemen EVERY day. I have my brother's Plebe Summer cap in my back window along with the American flag. I am a flag waver from WAY back...when it was unpopular and frowned upon...it still sickens me to remember the turbulence of the 60's. It wasn't all wonderful music. It was practically another Civil War. I love my country so much.\nTo honor our Veterans:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyI8By-a5uM

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.

Although, I AM one to "uphold" heritage , reinstating that flag would cause enormous racial problem's. In the eye's of African-Americans, that flag represents hatred, hanging's, brutality, injustice, ETC ETC ETC.\n\nAs a true "Southern Gentleman/Lady", we must begin to understand that ,although, our heritage does include the "rebel flag", the Civil War is over! You can be proud of your southern upbringing, but to raise that flag is an effrontery to 1/4 of our American citizen's. And this will not do!\n\nAmerica is the "melting pot". It is time for all of us to start "melting".

No, I don't belive so, because as a free country, citicens should be able to do what they want, and protest however they wish, so long as it brings no physical harm to others. However, be it Austrailia, U.S.A. (my home), U.K., or any other free nation, it is truely sad for flags to be burned, and kind of counter productive, as they are using the freedoms of that country to burn the flag (irony?). If I were Austrailian, and saw somone burning an Austrailian flag, I would protest by raising mine higher.\n\nBottom Line...\nPeople should have the right to protest as they please, be it flag burners, or FLAG WAVERS!\n\nGreetings from the states!

What do you think the Confederate flag stands for? Most people think that it stands for slavery and racism. It doesn't. All the Confederate flag stands for is some states wanting to have more of an equal voice in government in the 1800's. We should embrace the fact that it's part of our history and honor all the men who died fighting to keep our wonderful country together and those who died trying to have a voice.

It is a representation of heritage. Asking southerners to not display it or wear it on their clothing is like asking someone who moves here from Africa or Italy or wherever, not to display their flag or heritage. It's the same thing. So I guess the people who hate seeing the confederate flag should also get angry when people display their state flag or their home country's flag.

Given the diversity of our population, my opinion on this would be no. When you are a country of many diffrent race and culture, the patriotism one has for the country is not quite the same as a country with a single culture and race. Clearly, the citizens of America is very patriotic, but I would not say it is the most  patriotic country given the above factor.
