[edit] Merge
It seems redundant to have both this and Flag etiquette. I am not sure which one should remain however...Any suggestions? (My inclination is to merge into Flag protocol, but I'm bias since I started it :) ) --Flying Canuck 01:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- To me, protocol is the official regulations that has to be observed, like diplomatic protocol. But, with etiquette, it is just suggestions that are traditionally followed, but not by the force of law. I prefer flag protocol.User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 23:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Additional Information
This article needs to include information regarding personal use of flags. Does a flag need to be lowered each day? How do you probably dipose of a torn or damaged flag? Is it appropriate to fly flags from different countries on the same pole/mast? What is the protocol for flags being flown on water-going vessels? — Matthew Massey 15:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I am disputing the factuality of this article
There are no references and the article includes several absurd and false statements. I removed "There is no greater insult than to have the flag touch the ground". How about making a clown ruffle out of one and a clown wearing it? Or stirring the contents of a latrine with it. How about rolling it up and beating someone with it? Using it as a painter's tarp? Flying it in front of the residence of someone who has lied to their country to get them into a war? Wiping one's butt with it? etc. This article needs references too.
