It's not disrespectful - YOU think it's disrespectful - and I'd say you were probably in a minority...

If I saw people protesting against my government, I wouldn't take offense to them turning the flag upside down - I'd think, 'Hey, at least they have enough respect to not set the flag on fire or walk all over it.'

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that....It's a non-violent, non-offensive way of making a visual protest against a countires government.

I think you just have a problem with people criticising your country in any manner...I call that TOO much pride...
It's good to be proud of your nation, but when you support it to the degree that it makes you angry and pissed off at people who turn THE FLAG upside down, I'd say you need to rethink your patriotism.
