that's a tall order

btw... I changed my previous post to something more... tasteful

**KrazyHorse** · March 22, 2003, 02:31

You guys actually get offended when you see somebody lighting up your flag?

I couldn't care less, personally.

I'm proud of a lot of things my country has done, and I'm proud for a lot of the values it represents, but I couldn't give a damn if somebody decided it was necessary to light the maple leaf up...

I don't think I've ever seen someone burn a Canadian flag on TV or online...

**KrazyHorse** · March 22, 2003, 02:33

Who'd a thunk it.

flag fire turns up thousands of pics of American flags on fire.

Bastards. Taking all the press.

Is it illegal?

Maybe I'll burn it myself to get the photo.

I've got a nice big 4X6 footer around somewhere...

I've got a paper one they gave me on Flag Day at at Flames game (oh the irony...)

**KrazyHorse** · March 22, 2003, 02:38

I shouldn't burn the big one, though.

Got it at the huge "No" ralley prior to the '94 referendum.

Ugh... quebec...

Why do people get angry over burning the flag? Because it is a symbol for the American people. It isn't simply a piece of cloth, it saying 'I f***ing hate America' (whether the people or the government). People don't like that around these parts.

Oh, and thanks for the new avatar, guys

Imran: it's sorta sad that a symbol gets you so riled up. Someone hates your country? Deal with it.

If all they're doing is burning flags, be thankful. They could be flying planes into buildings...

Thank you! You put it a bit more clearly and consise then I did. That is what I was trying to get across. This was some young kid......I probably have pimples on my a$$ older then this kid was but there he was out there burning the flag. I guess I finally had to have an opinion about something

Yeah, i bet if those kids (heh, i feel so old.... even tho im probably their age. physical age at least... ) went and lived in most other countries (like most of Africa, Asia, and South America and even some Euro countries) for a while, they would come back to the US with a little more respect for the country and gratitude for their relative freedom and rights to life liberty, and persuit of happyness. They may still very well have antiwar views, sure, but they wouldnt be so spoiled and ignorant as to make an all-encompasing diss towards the US such as flag-burning.

Don't hate my country... hate yourself for not doing more to further the cause of peace.

**KrazyHorse** · March 22, 2003, 02:46

You talking to me?

I've never burned a flag of any sort in my life...

**Imran Siddiqui** · March 22, 2003, 02:47

If someone comes up to my face and says "I f***ing hate you", I'll tell you that I won't be pleasant to them.

**KrazyHorse** · March 22, 2003, 02:47

As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I've never even touched an American flag...
