I definitely get star-struck over - not so much actors and celebrities because I see them around and I work with some of them - but it's more things I'm not involved in that I get star-struck about.
A flag is supposed to represent everything that a country does. It doesn't only represent the good things. If you burn the flag, you're burning the flag for what you perceive to be the bad things the country has done. it's only a symbol. It's only a piece of cloth.
