haha, amazing what google will find

I'm quoting this from a government website, which I assume would have an official status. This is written in explanation of the text you quoted, Title 36, Chapter 10.

The Code is designed 'for the use of such civilian groups of organizations as may not be required to conform with regulations promulgated by one or more executive departments' of the federal government, such as the armed forces. The Flag Code does not prescribe any penalties for non-compliance nor does it include enforcement provisions. Rather, it functions as a guide to be voluntarily followed by civilians and civilian groups.

While the Code empowers the President of the United States to alter, modify, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority to issue 'official' rulings legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code may continue to be made. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.

it's still fabric but i definitely know that that's the minority opinion.
i'm not stupid enough to do that.

I think that our procedural inadequacies are not what, so diligently, drive away new members.

I think it is often our fervent, over-emotional and often ignorant discussions in which people take sides particularly quickly, often by way of insult rather than counter-argument.

There is an apparent and immediate disregard for any opinion but that of the speaker. There is no attempt to empathize and then explain logically how your opinions deviate, but instead a childish spewing of the speaker's own inadequacies projected on to that of his/her proposed opponent.

These tend to lead to preconceived agree/disagree notions with the same poster in other threads. This appears to snowball out of control and self-justify the lack of argument. That is, we begin to disagree with the person, rather than the idea.

There is no easy way to mod this. This is the responsibility of the individual poster (to enter a state of intelligent, informed discussion in which their will be disagreements, but those disagreements will be handled with respect).

People on this board have very little respect for each other. Similarly to the flag law, it should be the only rule and measure we follow. Every rule we make and do not make, every statement we make or withhold, should be done out of respect for ourselves and one another.

that was the intent of my reply. it's funny because it's true

[Oasis]

haha.
yep. still fabric.

I respect your opinion more than a lot of people on here, but damn dude. It's what the flag stands for, not what it's made of. Hell, money is just paper if you think about it. If you wanna swap your $100 bills for some of my construction paper lmk.

[cmac]

true. i understand.
i'm not patriotic so that makes it easier.
i don't plan on disrespecting anyone on purpose by doing anything with a flag like the video either.
i know my place.

Neither am I. The current administration has damned near made me despise the government. I'll still respect the flag and what it stands for though.....even though it stands for utter garbage nowadays

[Jim]

Patriotism isn't standing blindly behind an administration.

It's saying 'murica.
