Do you consider it wrong to flirt with a girl/guy who is married? How about engaged to be married? How about flirting with someone who has a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Do you draw any line when it comes down to the recipient's relations with others, or is everyone fair game?

1) Yes. 2) Yes. 3) Not exactly. A Marriage is a Legal and Religious commitment, a binding to each couple. One should not try to interfere with that. However... girlfriends/boyfriends are fair game.

Lets say in case 2 you've known the person for much longer than their current fiance has known them, and lets also say that you just began talking to them again after a few years hiatus. Is it bad to flirt with them (if they are receptive)?

I'd never flirt with a married or engaged person.
Only way i'd flirt with a gal who was in a relationship was if the relationship was a serious bad one for her, and I figured she was beginning to see that.
If I was with someone, i'd not be flirting. Why'd I need to? I'd also be sure whoever i'm with is someone i'd trust, so i'd not flip out if she was to seemingly flirt. Its only if she actually did anything (like cheat) that i'd get pretty damn annoyed.
Edit: Yes, thats bad, because obviously, their relationship has been successful. If it seems to be failing, and there is no way it'll work out kind of thing, then give it time.

I would definitely not be happy if anyone was flirting with my gf/fiance/wife, but if she would shamelessly flirt with someone else, maybe I shouldn't be in a relationship with her anyway

Why do you have to be so moral anyhow...

Simple flirting is harmless. Once you start developing emotional bonds is when it gets inappropriate, and certainly anything physical.

well most of my friends would probably advocate it... which is why I figured to ask here (they are all involved in relationships where they all constantly cheat on eachother... not something to envy but perhaps telling of a slide in social morals at large). The high divorce rate in this country also doesn't do much to convince one that married/engaged people are going down the paths best for them.

What makes you question yourself is when you meet 5-10 new people a day, and still none of them live up.

You need to make her want to return on it. Get to know her, and see what she wants, then give that to her. If she wants to feel important and appreciated (most people do), then make her feel that way.

If she wants to feel important and appreciated (most people do), then make her feel that way. No luck. Emos aren't the only people with low self esteem. Also, she has a thing for another guy, a friend, and I think she had a kid or something with him earlier on. I don't know. Crazy bat-shot stuff, and I'd rather not mess with that. And I've already sworn myself to stay off dating until I'm 18, drinking until 22.

Maybe if I told her I wanted to castrate every Liberal with a ballpoint pen. Definitly if I told her I wanted to create a Master Group of Republicans and go on a genocidal frenzy on the Liberals.

Of course, Paris Hilton is still shoen (pretty), and Asians still are hot. Asian girls that is. The world is as it was yesterday. No change. /sigh.
