Ok congrats if your home country's flag doesn't mean anything to you but when you're welcoming in someone else from another country, they shouldn't wipe the floor with it. It goes much further than a piece of cotton.

and when you go to see someone live, if you care so much about your flag you shouldn't scrunch it up and fire at them expecting them to show more courtesy to the piece of cloth than you ever cared to. it works both ways. Edited by garnite

no, they wouldn't. i'm from a country that regularly has flag burnings and even rioting over the placement of flags. these things cause a lot of tension and brutality. and you know how the tension and trouble disappears? you stop caring about a flag.

so it's essentially a death cult with a piece of cotton as its deity. insanity. one of the more regrettable aspects of latin american culture.

 

That "piece of cotton" represents your nation. If you treat your flag like shït, then your country must be shïtty too.

 

Anyway, he was not in his own country. He should respect the moral rules and laws in every nation he visits.

no, it doesn't represent it. the piece of cotton has a design on it which is a visual symbol used to refer to it, much like how countries have a name. they're an old way of marking your territory. the nation itself always represents the nation. if you're a nation that criminalises a flag simply touching the ground with no ill intent, just not caring what happens to that piece of cotton, then parts of your nation are obviously stuck in the past and are in need of an updating. it's just senseless.

i don't know how anyone would ever come to the conclusion that if you treat your flag like sh*t then the country you live in must be sh*tty, but that's probably a product of being raised with aimless patriotism brainwashing.

It seems that you know nothing about the Argentine laws. It's not a cultural thing and it's not about how people feel for their flags.

 

The amendment to the Constitution of Argentina says: Art.222.- Shall be punished with imprisonment of one to four years who publicly ultrajare the flag, the coat of arms, the anthem of the nation or any province's emblems.

i discussed the cultural aspect because you did too and it's been a general point of discussion here. i know that it's an actual law there, we've been discussing that too and i even mentioned that in my post, did i not? what point have i missed? my issue is both with the law and the culture it has encouraged.
