    I burn the South Korean flag everyday in protest of its genocide of Christians, marching them off that cliff and what not.

    Eh, Walrus?

    I don't mind the Korean flag as it is a badge of honour against oppression, which you cannot say about the more violent nations in this world. I'm not a flag person, but the SK flag is one of the least offensive. At least the way I see it anyway.

    Yes, you also defend the Nazi flag. Thank God for Winston.

    Not at all. I am defending the right to freedom of speech which is something you should be into. I do not like flags of any sort. Some are simply more tolerable than others. Silly things really.

    Unless it's flag with a big giant vagina on it.

    Then I guess some would banter how the cootchie is portrayed. If its a hairy pussy --it must be an un-hygenical pussy, or a bald pussy, then must be a child molester's choice.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    If my neighbour were a Nazi I would much rather he flew a swastika so that I knew who he and his friends were. Give them enough rope and all that. The trouble is that most of those who are intent on being offensive and parading how outrageous and free they are by flaunting conventions are often the same people who whine like pussys when you confront them. Trying to ban them is the attention they want. Feeble cunts.

    The Nazi flag is vile, but the more I learn I tend to find many flags conjure up similar connotations. Maybe the people wanting these flags are associating with different things. For instance, Beanz, if you wave a Union Jack it will likely be for positive reasons whilst I am seeing monarchy, occupation and war. In that sense we are both right based on what we perceive. I just struggle to get enraged on a topic like this and think US media and politics has once again gone slightly mad.

    I don't have much positive to say about the Nazis but they did have snappy uniforms.

    The Hitler mustache never really came into fashion. I think he may have killed Charlie Chaplins career.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Hugo Boss designed them.

    Brooks Brothers designed Teddy Roosevelt's uniform for the Spanish American War.

    Not at all. Firstly you are assuming I am the type of person to be waving a Union Jack about. Not being ashamed of being English and being blindly patriotic, just like the Union Jack and the Swastika, are in no way interchangeable.

    Back on topic though, a flag is still just a flag. I don't understand why it would upset people or have people wanting them banned. It is a very PC attitude to be having or even somewhat Nazi too! And I am not saying that is you, so don't get angry. That is more Master. Pretty hardcore. Not that he is a Nazi or anything like that.
