Yes, it is okay to burn that flag [North Korea's flag]. No, my position is not a double standard. I do not live in North Korea, I live in the United States.
I don't care if anyone here in the US burns the North Korean flag, the UK flag, the Israeli flag, the flag of the Netherland Antilles, or any other flag besides America's or Missouri's.

Missouri's? BWA HA HA HA HA! This is the first time I have ever seen a militantly patriotic Missourian!
Yes, don´t try to redefine double standard. Disrespect(flag burning is) is the same, no matter where you do it. Another thing is if it will have legal consequences, but morally you´re a bastard anyway, for not loving your neighbour and respecting him.
It's cloth. Colored cloth. They're all just weaved and dyed fibers; burn any flag you want because my country isn't a piece of cotton it's you, me and how we conduct ourselves within this country and without. Just as I wouldn't mind anyone burning a babble, if I believed in the xtain babbletomb, because I'd carry that in my heart and actions too. If our morals and ethics aren't embedded in our character then they're meaningless anyway.

It's just a piece of cloth. Nothing more. Burning it may make a political statement, depending on where and when you do it. The last time I checked it was legal in the USA to make a political statement, even an unpopular one.

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground 'fore I recognize Missoura.
xMinionX? What did we ever do to you? As far as that goes, when did WE ever do ANYTHING?
Personally, I'm a bit edgy burning any kind of flag (even one for a made-up country) because I know that, somewhere, there is at least one person who's going to want to shoot me in the face for burning something that they like.
Actualy, According to american law and custom, When an american flag gets old and worn out, it is supposed to be burned.
Confused?
