I saw the whole thing. One of my friends died in there... and i still find myself laughing at these moments of silence. They seem so fake.
Still,you should not be laughing.Some people do it truthfully and find it very disrespectful.

I don't think many people understand that a person can deal with grief in different ways. Laughter is definately one of them, and being light harted about something is much more effective than mourning and mourning and mourning and mourning until your eyes bleed. Death is a part of life. Accept it.
I myself tends to laugh to forget my problems too but 9/11?

You can't go flying a flag that gets all ratty ... and now I have my Thanksgiving flag up and soon my snowman flag ... and before that my vampire flag ... so ... I got time.


Whats this about? Is it an American tradition to allow only former soldiers to destroy flags (when they're not fit for service any longer, of course)? Thats brilliant, I quite like that.

I think maybe my flag is the original with 13 stars (maybe a little later)..The 50 star one no longer represents a country built within the constrains of the our constituion ensuring the rights of individuals.

I am sad ...It appears my country died a long time ago ..if for that matter it ever existed...Freedom only truly resides in the mind of the beholder.

According to the CDC 30,000 people die of the flu every year... I know thousands of american soldiers died doing their sworn duty to protect the constiuion...it is the greatest disrespect of all time to use the loss of 3000 lives on such a dramatic and terible evn as 9-11 to undermine the freedoms this country was founded to protect.

security is nice but not at the cost of freedom...

Where has the sentiment "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!" gone.

Ask smashthestate. Your ideology seems similar.

I don't agree that their where more US flags than Canadian ones. I didn't notice any increase in flags at all. My parent's house has a flag up on it, my room in that house (I moved out 6 months ago, so most of my stuff is still there until I get a bigger place in April) has a bunch of flags... but I didn't bring any with me because they don't really represent me so much as the enity imposed over my land (not country, and my in the oikos-fashion). If I was to have a flag, it would look like this:

I love ottawa. Now thats a good liberal open minded town. I have only been there once but i liked what i gathered.
maybe its just the area im from just east of toronto. but it was like a flag fucking brothel. I would agree with whoever said earlier in this topic that flags are a curse word. and ive seen to many US flags that werent even beside canadian ones in the last few years.

I've lived in the Kawartha "cottage country" until this year, and their where a lot more canadian flags than american ones, and very few canadian flags at that. I've only seen one American flag in Ottawa, on the US embassy (I learned yesterday that after the US embassy moved to its current spot the art gallery made all its windows bomb proof because of the fact that fortress america is a bit to bomb prone for their liking in other nations.)

The funniest thing happened to me in the airport some time ago. I was going to a holiday, a classical 2-week sunbathing/boozing trip to the shores of the Mediterranean, with a pocket knife I had forgotten to my pocket.

The guard goes: HALT!
Me: Please spare me! I didn't do anything.
Guard: There is a Swiss army knife in your pocket.
Me:Oh, right. Here. Keep it.
Guard: I will.
Me:(joking) Now your going to register me with the secret police and add me to the suspect list and all that. Haha! What?
Guard: Umm, heheh...(doesn't look me into the eyes, stares walls), may I have your passport again please?

The guy disappears for few minutes with my passport. Comes back and gives it to me with an uneasy smile and expression that says: "How the hell did he know?!?"

So I'm a suspected terrorist. This was Finland.

In answer to the original question, my flag is currently hanging on my wall.
