Technically yes, but that is only an accident of my birth location. In the modern world I consider national boundaries to be petty and divisive. I would rather be considered as European than English.

No, they fought for the values the flag symbolises. Again, I consider that to be more important that a bit of cloth.
Frankly, why should I care that some people respect the flag if those people aren`t going to respect the fact that burning a flag is a valid form of freedom of expression?
