Burning Flags

[Mott the Hoople]

The American obsession with a piece of cloth has long been a source of wonder for non-Americans. I guess you hold it in such fervent, almost religious esteem because you basically have no history and everyone has to have something to cling to. So your flag is like a piece of flotsam after a ship wreck whereas other nations have lifeboats. Well, anything is better than nothing, I guess. If someone burned a Union Flag would I get upset? No, I really dont think any Brit would. We would probably just shrug our shoulders and say: I wonder what his problem is. Oh, sorry, I mean THE Union Flag, not one of yours.

We could say the same thing about the Queen except flags are cheaper.

I will repeat what I said for those of you who are clearly totally clueless.

Ex-pats, Brit, yank pr Chinese work to keep factories open in their home country. They are the people who keep you working and dont ever forget it. Thousands of American ex pats work tirelessly to make your country better.
Arsehole.

I think you owe them an apology.

So how does it feel to have terminal butt-hurt?

Of course you can and there are millions of British citizens who would share your views. The queen is not akin to a religious icon. Neither is our flag, her flag or any of the flags which make up the Union flag.

You tell me. It is you who have made an idiot of yourself.

Yeah, uh huh, whatever you say.

And I'll restate for you, ex-pats have nothing to offer the commonwealth, and are of no consequence.

 

[Minister of Truth]

And what, precisely, did I say that has caused you so much faux anger?

You don't know what you wrote?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

True but Damo's right. In America you have the right to be an asshole and an idiot. If we outlaw that then we degrade what our flag stands for. Freedom.

I also believe that someone has the right to burn the flag; but I also have the right to put the fire out, by any means necessary.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

haha, no it's probably a vets group or something since the actual proper way to dispose of a torn or tattered flag is by burning it.

So you do not recognise the importance of your export trade? You do not see how your banks and financial institutions contribute to YOUR well being (Not including the recent nonsense).
Do you work? Do you actually make stuff or do you shine shoes? If you make stuff then there is a good chance that some of whatever you make is destined for overseas markets.
Who in the name of anything, do you think makes that possible? Some freakin arsehole in Stupidville, Alabama? Who runs your embassies, Who keeps an eye on your safety?
Friggin thick yank twat!

I know exactly what I wrote. What I do not know is what has crawled up your friggin stupid yank arse to make to so falsely indignant.
Now go and grow a brain.

The same is true here Lo. Every county has it's nuts. We just have more of them.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Except violence.

Do you consider buckets of water, or a firehose "violent"?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Do you consider buckets of water, or a firehose "violent"?

Depends how you use them.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Depends how you use them.

To stop a fire.

 

[Lowaicue]

I would imagine the percentage is about the same.
What we need is huge giant squirrels.

Now you know that he any means, don't you?

I now understand why you put a question mark, after you typed this; because you obviously can't understand it either.
