No, there is a difference. I know it's a symbol... but it's the symbol that stands for the nation which allows you the very freedoms you speak of.
It also allows ME the freedom to disagree with your thoughts and have a sense of honor and national pride.
If someone chooses to have none, well, don't burn it one day and scream for freedoms the next.

Actually, those freedoms are exactly what allow them to do that.

Erroneous! Alabama owns that plot of property in Baton Rouge. That stadium belongs to Alabama.

Exactly correct... it's not a good look though... kinda rings hollow and hypocritical... I do wish they'd try it with a Chinese flag in Tiananmen Square, maybe that's just me wanting a good laugh.

It's true the functional purpose of flags has greatly diminished, but it is by no means gone. flags are still necessary identifying nationality of soldiers, ships, and territory. Sure these functions are all redundant to other systems, but visual symbols are a useful baseline form of communication. For example, you could read the plaque on the gate that says "US Embassy", but you could also recognize it as such from a much greater distance by seeing an american flag flying over a secured building in a foreign country, and put 2 and 2 together.
Flags are also a symbol of unity and heritage. There is a single, clear, intended message coded into each flag. Not everyone responds positively or accepts the message, but that doesn't mean the message doesn't exist or has no value.
To say flags as a concept are a tradition that has outlived their usefulness is tantamount to saying the ideas the flags are intended to represent are outdated also. I don't know about you, but I think we need more of the values typically coded into flags, not less.
Have an upvote, sir! Great response.

I guess you were right after all. Some people owe you an apology for voting you down.
Facts are stubborn things. It is human nature to rush to judgement but sometimes we just need to wait until the facts are known.
