i didn't b/c for quite a few posts, i actually tried to stay on topic and i also didn't want to take it off topic. imo, the person who decides to take a thread off-topic should instead choose to make another. that was my only point there. and actually, i was interested in the media bias discussion, so was hoping/reading for it to get back on track as sometimes threads do. i didn't 'choose' to make the thread about flag waving, nor was i blaming anyone....just making a statement...along with a if you noticed. of course, sure...since the comments kept flowing there, i went with the flow...every once in a while trying to bring it back to the media focus. shall we debate this point to death, until it is a sensless, bloodied pulp...or is that answer sufficient for you? b/c of course, it's all about meeting your needs here helen.


***and, staying on topic.....don't hate flag wavers, not in the least. whatever makes you happy! unless of course you do so at some event and block my view...now that is silly, ignorant and arrogantly selfish.


edited b/c i can't type....:P

that's cool... I just wanted to point that out to you cos your post seemed to suggest otherwise. But as long as you know that you're as guilty as the rest of us, that's fine

actually it didn't 'suggest' that at all, tis your inference. glad it's fine with you of course.






and yes, i like how many at protests fly the flag upside down, it speaks volumes...as does burning the flag, etc. a symbol is a great tool for voicing your pleasure, or displeasure...whichever fits.

During the racist riots in Cronulla (Sydney, Australia) some white supremacists wrapped the Australia flag around them and used it as some racist symbol. It was used similarly when they tried to block the building of an Islamic school and such. That is what I hate. As for flag waving, people have the freedom to do whatever they want.

if the white supremacists had waved the flag would that have been ok?

yah those damn bastards should of waved the flag.. wrapping themselves in it was totally uncalled for

using the flag as a symbol of hate is what I hate but waving it around out of pride or whatever is none of my business.. i personally think standing there and waving a flag is lame, you would be pretty much equating yourself with a flag pole to do that.
