It is interesting that your argument has moved from incredulity over someone's belief in respect for their national flag to it being a weapon in your hands.
At first it looks like an innocent personal/cultural difference - just a matter of perspective. But is is quite clear that you knew all along just how inflammatory (pun intended) the flag burning issue was and hence your entire line of argument was only intended to cause offence.
You are either a sad troll or else they're currently debating in Parliament how to deal with you.
