Brother, I feel your pain.

I believe in humanity, and I believe in respecting other people's choices. That said, this brings up the question of who gets to offend who? You don't get to express your beliefs because they might offend someone else? It's fine for them to feel that way, but that makes it okay to destroy or steal your property because it offends them? I don't think so.

Even Correctotron cannot fathom this one. Sure, nationalists do love their flags, but a flag is a flag, it's an item, it's rare that a flag kills someone or commits a heinous crime.
Same thing with guns really, not trying to drag this thread off-topic, or any inanimate object, the problem is peoples reactions to it.
Perhaps they should replace it with the flag of Pakistan, see if they get a mass-produced note then...

You have just been EU'ed.

Put up the EU Flag and they will leave you a large sum of money to spend.

Meine Fresse.



Needing to share time and space with these bigot zealots, becomes more repugnant with every year passing. In Germany, this phenomenon is a damn plague.

That story made me mad.

A persons love to his or her countries flag is not directly hate to wards other type of people or countries.

I'm out of words

Well then have a pint of beer.



Nippelspanner, it happens here in the UK and in most cases the St George's flag really sets off some people like firecrackers.

For Nippelspanner (and all who understand German):

(BTW, "Autofahrerin" in English possibly would be "car driveress", I assume ).

Bookmarked for later. Right now I'm enjoying Jagged Alliance 2 - a game from a less ridiculous time period.

I don't dring beer(I only take a litte nip to taste it) or alcohol for that sake.

A person has no right to remove another persons flag-in this case from his or her car.

The only person who can remove a persons flag is the police-If you have violated the countries laws around its flag.

In Sweden and Denmark it is forbidden to paint on the flag-Stil the police does nothing when a countries supporters walk down the street with their countries flag with the countries name written on it.

Does this make me mad ? No its another type of love this their country.

Busybodies as they call them here. Some days it seems like the world is full of bored solutions desperately looking for problems to solve.
