George Carlin put it best: Flags are for the symbol-minded.

The people offended by flag burning are the same ones who fly giant Trump banners behind their trucks because they don't have a real personality of their own. Their church / racist family and friends / Fox News tells them to be outraged, therefore they are outraged. Happy 4th of July!
"Eef yew dun' lahk uh-murricah ye' should jus' leave! We have our Frrreeeeduuuuuummmmbs!"
"Ok, if we're so free, you should be fine with the expression of burning this here flag"
"No... wait ye' can't do that!"

groundskeeper willie?
Pssssh, this isn't even in a Walmart the cultural zeitgeist of America
Me before entering the thread: Would be funny if they were glowing 'cause they're on fire
Me seeing the OP: Nice
It's a weird feeling when you get in a situation as an adult where the pledge of allegiance is being said. I went my entire school life saying it every weekday but as an adult I recently found myself in that situation again and it was a kind of sweet relief seeing I had forgotten most of it. It is deeply uncomfortable when I find myself in a group of people doing it
Id be careful drinking anything in that place, truly some horror shit
Last year's edition of this thread was wild. I wonder if people will be less upset about It when considering the recent stuff going on.
Omg my first time learning about this place was eating a meal there thinking it was a regular bbq place and then that shit happened.
Not going to lie when I finally went to the US in 2019 it was a bit jarring seeing flags everywhere, even the hotel I stayed in had one out front. Even though US media does show that this is quite common in some places.
It was honestly one of the best thread on Era's history. No way this year can top that. Plus America is in full speed ahead to hell world with no breaks so 2021 edition will be forever the GOAT.
Ooft missed this, anybody got a link?
As a non-American, I'd be sliiiightly more sympathetic about it, like I think maybe more 'normal' (non Trump psycho) Americans would also be offended by it. Because honestly the indoctrination over there into nation-worship and flag-worship is crazy compared to anywhere else I've seen in the world, like loads of houses fly the flag and every day at school you need to say shit about it? Wtf? If you were a normal person with a sheltered and/or quiet upbringing I'm sure the flag-worship would seem like the norm and seeing people burn it would be shocking, even if you weren't a mad god-fearing Republican.
27 pages. Not going to top that classic this year I doubt.
This thread is reminding me that my neighbor has a giant Trump flag on the back wall of his garage. It just reads Trump in large letters. Too much of a coward to display it outside. Hilariously pathetic.

Bunch of nerds
Wow. Coming to it late that's like a positive version of this gif (imagine Troy but he's me and grinning voraciously):

It's certainly an interesting time capsule if you compare the responses each year.
