Title: If you soak a flag in napalm...

How long will it take to burn?

This girl behind me needs to know.

well napalm is designed to burn for up to 10 minutes so it's pretty distinguished mentally-challenged to use it as an accelerant on a cloth flag that will just burn in a few seconds.

like if you've ever been to an anti-war rally, you'll see a few flags get burned and even when getting stomped on and spit on, they only last a few seconds anyways.

tell that girl that napalm is totally unnecessary.

She's burning a pirate flag.  To protest mistreatment of pirates.  She says she's not anti-pirate.

It actually depends on the accelerant.  I've heard of "napalm" being made a few different ways.  If you're looking for a short burn, just dip it in gasoline.  If you're looking for a longer burn, then dissolve styrofoam into gasoline and spread the goop that it creates on the flag.  Either way, when it hits the bare cloth you're gonna lose part of your flag.

Anyone else unsurprised that one of our resident muslin turrists was the first with a prompt response on proper flag burning etiquette?

Protesting peace, no doubt.
