It's time for another Ask Asher thread

[Al B. Sure!]

There have been some pretty retarded American flags that flew for a few years in the 19th century.

[giblets]

Why does it deserve respect? Respect is earned.

What has Canada done in the last 50 years?

It's a beautiful country and a good place to live. You're just being ungrateful.

[Asher]

You mean those folks from the second world war?

What the ****.

[Ben Kenobi]

Did it cease to exist when gay marriage was legalized, and afterwards support for it only continued to increase?

Right. It's all about you, Asher. Support your country when they do things for your benefit.

I'm not at all surprised that you would cite this as evidence as to why Canada should be respected. I suppose locking up and jailing prolifers is additonal evidence in your favour.

Canada does not tolerate opposition to the Trudeau legacy. We are a totalitarian country that jails people for no other crime than expression.

The reason you don't see Canada as totalitarian is because you collaborate. They are advancing your cause, so full speed ahead and damn the consequences.

[Al B. Sure!]

This was the flag that flew over Ft. Sumter when it surrendered.



Digital recreation:



There have been many unique star designs in US history.

[ColdWizard]

Missing the point. The stars and stripes have remained.

Losing the ensign was a deliberate attempt to pitch our heritage into the bin, the memories of our, 'colonial' past, etc.

If Canada doesn't even respect themselves, why are they worthy of my respect?

It was good enough for the Queen but not for you? Bow before the will of your monarch

[Ben Kenobi]

It's a beautiful country and a good place to live. You're just being ungrateful.

Neither of which have anything to do with 'Canada'.

It was a beautiful place before Canada was formed. It will be a beautiful place long after 'Canada' is gone.

I do love where I am from. But I don't love Canada for what she has become. Canada didn't make the lakes, the mountains the trees. Loving the country for the land she occupies is like loving a woman for the clothes she wears, and not her heart. She has lost her way.

[Asher]

Right. It's all about you, Asher. Support your country when they do things for your benefit.

You're the one with conditional support for your country, not me. Dumbass.

I'm not at all surprised that you would cite this as evidence as to why Canada should be respected.

I did no such thing, even though I agree Canada's progressive outlook on human rights is something to be respected.

Canada does not tolerate opposition to the Trudeau legacy. We are a totalitarian country that jails people for no other crime than expression.

Why aren't you jailed, if this were true?

You hold beliefs so vile to the vast majority of Canadians, that if what you were saying was true you'd be imprisoned. Instead you're allowed to live freely, express your hatred, and even support child rapists.

The reason you don't see Canada as totalitarian is because you collaborate. They are advancing your cause, so full speed ahead and damn the consequences.

I've never heard a country described as totalitarian before for having a human rights agenda.

[giblets]

Change the flag, the statute of limitations runs out.

You don't see America abandoning their heritage.

I love the ensign, but the Canada that I love and respect no longer exists.

The US did the same thing 200 years ago...

There has not been a monarch crowned under the maple leaf.

[Al B. Sure!]

Australia and New Zealand didn't change their flags

[ColdWizard]

Australia and New Zealand didn't change their flags

What would they put on there? A kangaroo and a kiwi?

[Ben Kenobi]

I did no such thing, even though I agree Canada's progressive outlook on human rights is something to be respected.

Not when they jail people for dissent.

Why aren't you jailed, if this were true?

Because I've stayed on the other side of the line. Could very easily have been jailed just for crossing the street.

You hold beliefs so vile to the vast majority of Canadians, that if what you were saying was true you'd be imprisoned. Instead you're allowed to live freely, express your hatred, and even support child rapists.

If I had crossed the street and picketed on the other side of the road, I would have been arrested. In a 'free' country. For simply expressing my opinion that abortion is wrong.

I've never heard a country described as totalitarian before for having a human rights agenda.

Neither did I, until I went to UBC. I could not believe it myself, but it's true. There are people in jail right now for the 'crime' of expressing themselves contrary to the powers that be. This is the Canada I'm supposed to be proud of? Horsehockey.
