Reply #5: People get upset about the silliest things

[Rude Horner]

This whole flag thing and the proper way to do this and that with it - I am SO over it. It's a piece of cloth. It's a symbol. That's it. Anybody who tells me "But people died for the flag", I respond that it's so sad that they believe that. People have died for freedom, for democracy. The flag is merely a symbol of that. Nothing more.

And what amazes me is that these same people who get their panties in a bunch about the flag being flown upside down, don't seem to blink an eye when the Constitution and Bill of Rights are being shred before our very eyes. "The Constitution - ah, that's just a piece of paper. It's quaint. But the Flag - Aaaaaaaaaaah, it touched the ground!!!" :puke:
