Stupidity, protest. (and a Short Lesson on flag care + rant)
9 years ago
some say I am crazy, and I'd say that they're at least half right.
To counter much of the stupidity(and rage.) that I see and hear toward protesters that burn any Flag. For these 2 Points! (Lesson on flag care.)
1, Any flag, should Never be: buried; lowered into any grave or allowed to touch the ground, nor should it ever be allowed: to hang while damaged, tied-up, or bound-up as in it's condition, nor be remade into clothing, or thrown out in or with trash, nor should it be: used as decoration...
These are all in accordance with Basic Flag Etiquette!
2, According to America's Own Flag Etiquette: the Only Respectful way to dispose of a: damaged, aged, or otherwise discontinued to be used American Flag...
Is To Burn It!
- (rant) ->
So... when I see so many of you people that would claim to be so out raged by hearing about: some protester burning Any Flag... But doing so many of these things so much of the time, and failing to understand that you shouldn't ever throw-out Any Flag in your trash, nor let one hang until it falls apart!
I think unto myself, I find it sickening that you are so quick to complain about your misunderstanding of what disrespecting Any Flag actually is... as even in Protest, these people are showing those Flags more respect and thought, than most of you the self labeled out raged citizens of any nation do, while you sleep-walk through your other-wise clueless daily lives!
Wake-up, shut your noise holes, and do something more useful than groan and/or mutter about it!
like take a bit of responsibility for how you, yourself treat and more likely mistreat the Flag of your own nation, in thought or in act!
I mean that if you don't own and properly care for a Flag of your own nation yourself, than you have very little patriotic standing to complain about someone else showing any Flag more thought and respect even in an act of protest, than you do on a daily basis.
Lastly if you are truly up set about how your national flag is being openly mistreated, get out there and talk about how the flag should be taken care of, and talk about how your nation should be taken care of... get active about trying to fix, the whys that your nation is being protested!
Don't just simply add to the noise, speak intelligence and direction toward a goal of: peace and knowledge!
