- DCJoeDogaswell, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5with all that's happening int he world, this should be towards the bottom of the list of things to worry about. But that's America right their, our priorities are always screwed up.
And no, you are NOT sorry for leaving out the "near" part, you want to get diggs based on shock title value, so enough with the mock modesty bit

If you really want to get your panties in a bunch about something, look at the factories run by children who made that flag, or the inhuman lengths that the country it represents is going to to acquire oil, or even that the politicians who are supposed to represent you instead represent corporations.
A flag is a peice of cloth. If you want to respect america, do it directly, by being part of the cure. Blind nationalisim without backing never helped anyone.- Bots, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1......people take things too seriously..

- rareblue, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2This flag might of meant something 200 hundred years ago. Now our system is so fixed that it means little more then cloth. Just waiting for the flag to be sponsored by Haliburton.
