You obviously don't comprehend what you read, I stated very clearly in Post #7 of this thread that I served almost 21 years in the Army. It is the flag of my country and that most definitely allows me to comment on what is done to it. If I can't have an opinion on the flag neither can you. I'll add more to the description of this supposed singer, she is an ignorant, mentally disturbed Bimbo.

Added: Let me make an assumption, you never served in the military did you. Do you have a problem with veterans?

No, I did not go back and reread your original post...so I guessed well about you being in the army.
No one said you could not have an opinion, as well as myself on the flag....the problem here is your nastiness toward a black woman and her opinion of the flag.
That's all.


Added:...no, never went into the service.
Do I have something against veterans? Not really...are they owed something, dam right they are and unfortunately our country isn't providing enough for our vets, such as benefits, housing etc. But the fact that they served the country doesn't make them the end all, be all to decisions of this country. And they tend to get very nasty if things don't go their way. That being said, someone that went to war and returns to no job, no home, no support would make one nasty.

Rather stupid of her to pick this particular symbol to complain about. We as Americans are fiercely proud of our country and the flag which is a symbol of it. She should spend just one day in the shoes of a member of America's armed forces.

So basically, a NEW FLAG won't solve and major or even minor problems. It does let the offended people vent a bunch.

Change the subject much?

Pretty sure I didn't...

HIS image does appear on a lot of flags, and sold everywhere. BUT, that is not offensive, you see.[/QUOTE]

No idea what you're talking about...

We were in the top 10 of countries for upward mobility and quality of life. people were living longer each generation (not today). Average wages were staying ahead of inflation. From 1975 until just this year average wages with respect to inflation or buying power DECREASED. The middle class was screwed - so much so that today we have VIRTUALLY NO middle class. Just the uber-rich and the uber-poor. And I mentioned the WEALTH DISPARITY. Now a rich person MIGHT (?) NOT MIND being at the top of the totem pole. But, social instability could hurt them also. One can imagine the social instability in France just before the French Revolution and the guillotine! People in 1975 IMAGINED that each next generation would be better off than the current. That IS NOT the case today! We are now around 30th in qualities like upward mobility worldwide and general quality of life. Even the UK is around 11th in upward mobility. The US cannot continue much longer with a society consisting of Uber-rich and uber-poor only. We no longer have real active capitalism - now we have Corporate and elitist Socialism. And it is firmly etched into law!!!!!!!!!

You keep making these baseless claims...

I didn't see the word "dumb" anywhere in his post...

Also, never ASSume...

1. I have seen them in two places. As part of a golf cart parade in the last weeks. And, at a drinking place in Brownwood.

2. Not offensive, but have you read, of course you have, so do you recall the various attacks on uses of the flag. I recall them, to which I responded about some uses by the tea party and being critiqued for that. I find all of it a misuse of the flag, and disrespectful.

Point I am making is the hypocrisy.....HIS followers are quick to critique, but find HIS image on the flag on the back of a golf cart just fine.

Actual specifics and proof (not just what you say you remember seeing) would help...

It finally came out, the RACE CARD. If you are white and criticize a minority you are a racist. I'm all for equal opportunity, I will criticize any race, creed, color or religion when it comes to idiots that spew groundless hatred and malice towards our country. You do have animosity towards veterans and anyone else that rebukes your ideology. As far as veterans getting nasty when things don't go their way, how many vets have you see burning cities down, rioting and looting? There other groups that have a lock on those activities.

I'm not a Christian, and that "artwork" doesn't bother me in the least...

Now, if someone wanted to change our actual flag to that rendition, we've got a problem...

And so would I. The flag is perfect the way it is.

I totally missed that... And you're absolutely right.

When you have no argument, call your opponent a racist...

Someone basically screams on this thread for her to shut the heck up, and I respond that they should....and I'm the bad guy??? Whatever...
(I used to enjoy reading your post occasionally....silly of me) maybe you should be complaining to the person that told you to go to your "other" flag country..
