I don't know if i should put this here or on /tv/ but fuck it
This website posted a story about how it's illegal to sit during the national anthem here in Myanmar and there's several things wrong with it. They mention that in the Union Flag Laws of 2010 its an offense punishable by 3 years in prison and a 300,000ks fine. I've looked through the Union Flag Laws and The Motion Picture Laws and none of them say anything about punishment for refusing to stand during the anthem. give thoughts on this
Good. It should be illegal to sit during the anthem here too. Punishment should be a $500 fine accompanied by a month of jail time.

i forgot to say, the anthem plays before a movie starts in the cinema. i have no problem if it's a sports event or something else
Nolan Allen
Yes, you should be arrested if you do it at a cinema too.
Thomas Cook
anthems have nothing to do with movies
Chase Perry
You should play the anthem before you watch a movie made in Hollywood. There should be death penalty for those who sit in the cinema
Alexander Jones
The point is you should learn to respect the very symbol of your motherland by at least standing up if you don't have the gall to sing your country's anthem no matter where you are.
Nolan Allen
why though
Jackson Cruz
they just play the instrumental and show a flag. it has nothing to do with the movie
Wyatt Hall
It has nothing to do with your movie but it definitely has something to do with you. The fact that you aren't willing to stand up to that fabric in which the same people who died for your country stood up for means there is something wrong with your people.

we do this in cinemas on military bases

i stand up during football matches and other events when i have to support my country but the cinema seems to be a bit too much
the loyal subject is confused, because in the US of As it's not a government symbol, it's not the old mummy queen's flag, but the American People's flag, so standing up for it signals loyalty to the People and Country, not the decrepit inbred royals.

It's the same in India. Are you Bamar, mate?

so it's not punishable, huh? wish it were, i would visit burna with some powerful speakers and a camera, play your anthem somewhere where a lot of people are sitting or lyinf (need some ideas... a sleeper bus maybe?) while standing ofc, record on my cam those who fail to stand up at time and then send the records to the authorities asking those slackers to be punished...
