You got a website or somewhere where I can get more in depth info?
No, Tpark is still in the coloring book and denial stage. I wrote a novel. I just completed the second one in the series. I've already begun writing down stuff for the third book at the moment.

You don't have to like it. But I believe there's a law stating that you can't fly another flag above the American flag on the same pole.LOL You Americans are SO damn complicated, no offense. Everything has a double meaning with you people. I don't get what the problem is with having a Spurs flag ABOVE an American flag, its just stupid to DEMAND people to wave flags a CERTAIN way just because of freakin nationalism. You preach the US is the country that stands for freedom, and yet you had all these little things in your culture that CONTRADICT the out of that statement. "You're FREE to wave any flag you want A LONG AS its not ABOVE our precious national flag". Don't get me wrong, I'm all for national pride, but I'm also against taking it TOO far.
See, I never said your country was bad, I just criticised your tendency to over react when it comes to nationalism. We here have major problems too, noone is going to argue otherwise. But its still very stupid to IMPOSE a certain sentiment of belief on someone when the culture is predicated upon freedom. Again not trying to be offensive, so please don't answer back with stupid posts like TParks over here.
I wonder, is it alright for someone to have say another country's flag above an American flag? Just curious
just saw this.wave flags a CERTAIN way just because of freakin nationalism
Its called, respect for the flag. Its called having pride, and love for your flag, for your country.
Yeah, so were patriotic, were hard core on that.
Well guess who is number 1 bucko.
There is a law stating that, and Im in full support of it.
But, go ahead and desecrate the good old light blue and white flag, because, well, ya know, nationalism, and patriotism is "stupid"
According to you guys.
I don't think they even have to be on the same pole, Kori. In a series of poles, I believe the American flag has to be of equal height or higher according to the law... at least that is what I remember from days of flag duty in HS.
Ofcourse, I know. I don't live in the US, all I'm saying is, doesn't it seem a little hypocritical? to force people to wave the American flag ABOVE everything else?
Welcome to American Sociology my friend.But its still very stupid to IMPOSE a certain sentiment of belief on someone when the culture is predicated upon freedom.
No. Not in America.I wonder, is it alright for someone to have say another country's flag above an American flag? Just curious
http://www.treefort.org/~rgrogan/web/flaglaw.htm(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above, or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.

It is a law, the American flag goes above all others.
DOnt like it??
Good, we have enough american haters in this country as it is.
Yeah it just sucks to be an American.Welcome to American Sociology my friend
Read my post above. If it's on separate poles, then the US Flag has to be to the far right.I don't think they even have to be on the same pole, Kori. In a series of poles, I believe the American flag has to be of equal height or higher according to the law... at least that is what I remember from days of flag duty in HS.
No, T Park you've got all wrong. Patriotism is NOT something that should be ENFORCED! Its something you FEEL. If you ENFORCE it then whats the point?
You are the only one who has said as much in this thread.
agreed.Patriotism is NOT something that should be ENFORCED! Its something you FEEL
But there is also rules for this so that there is RESPECT for the flag.
Not just patriotism and pride.
welcome to american sociology...ou are the only one who has said as much in this thread
yeah, that was just dripping with patriotism there...
Funny American legal quarks:
Does this mean you have to take your flag and all others off the pole before burning it?
I see... interesting.
Dude, I'm not even going to argue with you anymore, Its imposible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who is always feeling attacked. I DON'T HATE AMERICANS IDIOT! Why are you so damn paranoid. Kori read my point of view and answered it for what it was, an opinion on an ideal. I may disagree with some parts of the US ideology, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HATE AMERICANS YOU IGNORANT PRICK.

It wasn't dripping with anything other than the fact that American sociology is complex and sometimes hypocritical. The fact that you are inferring that I am unpatriotic for engaging my first ammendment rights pretty much validates my statement.
I agree, and I also would regard say, burning the national flag as an insult. Ofcourse there should be limits to these rules of respect. But I understand that if you're living in the US then one should abide by their rules and respect their customs, I was just curious
starting out paragraphs,THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HATE AMERICANS YOU IGNORANT PRICK.
with, man you americans,
uh, yeah, that means you have something against us.
Bite me.
Its complex, yeah, hypocritical??? Up to debate.It wasn't dripping with anything other than the fact that American sociology is complex and sometimes hypocritical. The fact that you are inferring that I am unpatriotic for engaging my first ammendment rights pretty much validates my statement.
No, your unpatriotic for spewing typical, Yeah, were american, were stupid arent we,
wich was your intention to your response to Manuamericanhater.
Attacked?? no. Loving to rip up my country and how hypocritical we are and making fun of our patriotism???Its imposible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who is always feeling attacked. I DON'T HATE AMERICANS IDIOT! Why
Yeah, im gonna let that slide.
Do you HONESTLY believe patriotism is something that should be ENFORCED on every aspect of American life?? because if so, you're just sad.
I agree, burning the flag should be outlawed , if it isn't, immediately.agree, and I also would regard say, burning the national flag as an insult. Ofcourse there should be limits to these rules of respect. But I understand that if you're living in the US then one should abide by their rules and respect their customs, I was just curious
It isn't.
no, but it should be taught into kids growing up to have pride, and patriotism in your country.Do you HONESTLY believe patriotism is something that should be ENFORCED on every aspect of American life?? because if so, you're just sad
But if teaching that into kids is enforcing it?? Ok yeah.
Force someone to fly the flag?? No I wont. WOuld I love everyone to do it?? yeah.
