Oi, I didn't ever say that I dont feel a burst of pride for being American in certain situations. After 9/11, (although I was only 11) I was just as proud of my flag as everyone else. And I'm happy to fly one in my porch. That's fine, I know my Rich feels that way about his Union Jack.
I'm talking about when it crosses the line. I mean, kissing the flag if it touches the ground? SCaring little kids who have to raise the flag to death by telling them they'll go to hell if they drop it? I wasnt comparing any of you to facists at all, not for a second. I merely assumed that by your confidence in the army, and your obvious love of the navy, that you'd all be more patriotic then me, a freaking hippie. Peace

Oh good grief, yeah, I must admit, I do have a slight twinge of pride when I see the Union Jack, and prefer it to the other flags (although the old hammer and sickle is a nice design...) but I don't think I've ever really flown one...hell, I don't even put up one for the England team in the World Cup...mainly because I know I'll have to take it down again in a few weeks.

Best leave them to it Dan, interrupting female bonding sessions is akin to hitting one of these at full speed in your Type VII.

 Serious, Frau Philips, I think you must not doubt your view, nor ask for confirmation of it. It seem to me you already have sorted the important thing from the unimportant ones. And that's what counts. Symbols are not of the same value than what they are pointing at - and many peopole forget that difference and make a cult of symbols exclusively, defending them in almost imperial if not totalitarian postures because they can't look beyond them. Blessed be the ones revolting against this!
