Well, I promised a longer response over a month ago, I guess I better get to it then. 
I voted for all except the bottom three, and I will explain my reasoning to each one.
--------------------------------------------
Flirting is silly - If it has no purpose behind it, I think it's a bit silly, or if it's silly pickup lines
Flirting can be dangerous - If you have a partner (bf/gf, fiance, husband/wife) and you're flirting with other people, that can be very dangerous, for obvious reasons
Flirting can be distracting - It can be distracting for those involved and for others around you. If you're in a Bible study, flirt afterwards or somewhere else and let the focus be on studying God's word.
Flirting can be overdone - Some people just don't know when to stop, and it can get annoying
Flirting is fun and can be beneficial - It can be fun, especially if you both like each other. It can send signals that you're interested, which can be beneficial
Someone who flirts can be faithful to one person - You can flirt within a committed relationship with the other person. Or, someone who was a flirt before can then direct all their attention to the other person
Someone who flirts may have trouble being faithful to one person - Despite my answer above, I also believe this can be true as well. If someone is flirty with everyone, then that makes me question their motives behind flirting. Is it for their ego? For attention? Will they be able to not be flirty with other people while in a relationship with someone else?
-------------------------------------------------
To sum it up, it depends on each person's individual situation and motivation (are they in a relationship? Are they trying to send a signal or just wanting positive feedback to feed their ego?)
As for the last three, it depends on someone's motivation on whether or not I want to be flirted with. I'm pretty bad at being able to tell if someone's flirting with me, though. It hasn't happened enough and I really only can tell if it's super obvious. I don't know if I know how to flirt. I think so? That's probably a sign that I don't. Ha.
To address this, I recently read a quote that was something like "What kind of sad world do we live in when politeness is regarded as being flirted with?" Sometimes people can misread things, but what's sad is that our world can sometimes be so cut-throat and uncaring that when someone DOES care, we think it means something more.
I feel like I just wrote a book with this post, it seems long. And it's funny that I wrote such a long post on something I don't know much about.

I agree about how flirting can be misunderstood. I have thought guys liked me when they didn't and then had guys like me and flirt with me and it's like I totally missed it! I think flirting can be fun, and a way to see how someone reacts to me before telling them how I feel, but it can be pretty messy. Some people turn flirting into mind games and that only hurts people.

I will flirt with someone else that's single, even if i don't expect anything out of it. I don't really flirt with people i have no attraction to, so on the extremely unlikely chance the flirting lead to anything, it would not be horrible exactly haha.
I don't flirt a whole lot, though. Just for fun sometimes. Though since usually the women don't flirt back, and tend to disappear til they think its safe and i stop, i'm kind of losing the fun of it. (hmm, last part of that sentence doesn't seem worded right, oh well, you get the point =P )
