22. I'm Australian, so the idea is completely idiotic to me.
No offence intended, i just haven't been brought up in an environment where I was brainwashed into believing that "disrespecting" a piece of material was somehow pissing on the values it represented.

I mean, I can understand if there was one flag, like the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independance, but these things are mass produced. Aren't you offended that there are Chinese slaves making the proudest symbol of your country and getting paid 40 cents a day for the privilege?
