Things you cannot do with flag said:(d)
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
Respectful Way to Destroy Flag said:(k)
The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
You're welcome. I don't really have an opinion either way, on the burning conversation. I just had a friend reference this before and didn't see it shared here yet.Side note: I am mildly high off of medication, so sorry if this comes off as rude.
So... Like... We should be shutting down Amazon and eBay...
Should also be throwing anyone with a tattoo of the American Flag + [literally anything] in prison too while we're at it.
Ahahahahahahahahaha IF THIS IS HOW WE BURN DOWN CAPITALISM, COMRADES, I'M ALL FOR IT!
So even if we go strictly by this law, which is obviously not enforced in any serious capacity, the law itself states that it's okay to burn the flag given a certain set of circumstances, answering the thread's question.
Well.
Alrighty then.
In all seriousness though Iamtheechiking: It was an informative look at the law itself, so, thanks for that.
You know guys, after looking thru the US Medical System thread... I changed my mind on this topic. You do need to burn your flag. Definitly. Absolutely. W/o doubt. That wuld be the very start, at least.
Lets just say I lacked perspektive on how things are over there, until I seen that thread. Now I'm somevhere betwen the state of "thank fuck I dont live there" and "angry as hell".
