Re: Flag Burners
I do not think you are overreacting and rather, you are being mature about the subject for standing up for what you believe is right. The burning of the flag is an action that shows hatred in one of the crudest ways and by letting acts like these be accepted in society, we only promote them.
I'm going to get philosophical for a second. Actions, in general, are determined as good or bad by society. If society chooses to accept a certain action, it is "okay" and if society chooses to take action against it, it is discouraged. Your refusing to be cordial to him shows that you don't want to encourage actions like this and this is an action that should NOT be encouraged at ALL. Thus, I feel you are right to be incensed and have the right to outwardly express this.
If i knew anyone who burned a flag of ANY country, I would definitely voice my opinion against it and possibly do what you have done.
