ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things
if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it's just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth
How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can't do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: https://files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4
So, it burns or not? And how well?
There are 5 seconds of preparation to light it, and as soon as the flame touches the flag it's cut. Who edits video like that?
The flag seems to be "on fire" for the first second or so before going out, I'm pretty sure that the guy was trying to relight it (the inflammability of the material was already demonstrated, hence the cut).
So in other words, yes it burns, but not very well
Turly Europe moment
I remember when that video came out and I was truly impressed at watching good regulations in action.
Luv me some EU I does. 🇪🇺
