SKI 15 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 What gets me is people wanting to put up a 10ft flag outside their house on a big prominent flagpole. They're very welcome to of course, but.... WHY????? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 so they can tell which way the wind is blowing without getting out of bed. I always have such a device, but I usually use a nicely coloured wind sock from the local hippy store. Link to post Share on other sites

danz 0 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I don't know why this is such a fuss for some of you...what is the big deal if someone wants wear a pin or fly a flag? I have been to a few countries and have seen far more displays of national pride (if # of flags waving in private homes is any measure) than I have seen in the states (pre 9-11...)... whatever...its definetly NOT just an american phenomenom... danz Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I wasn't implying just Americans doing this, danz. Don't get all paranoid Not really a huge fuss either I suppose, just interested in why. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 ive never seen it anywhere quite like america... recently just stepping out of LAX u r bombarded with flags in every direction. (although some countries r mighty fond of plugging their head of state with piccies aplenty) i think it is great to love your country. when i tell people ive travelled to many different countries and they ask which is best, i always say australia. but i think its very important to remember that too much patriotism is a very dangerous thing Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I don't know how much you have experienced it post 9/11 Danz, but it is totally different now. The amount of flags/bumper stickers/general display of patriotism is mind numbing. Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Can't say i've seen many Japanese wearing the flag pinned to their suit, but i have seen a lot wearing their company emblem. Seems to me the Japanese salaryman takes his identity just as much, if not more so, from his company than his country. Link to post Share on other sites
