ElasticMan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Anyone noticed how flags are causing a lot of problems these days? There's the racists in America who insist on flying the Confederate flag http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2015/7/7/confederate_flag_marion.html Then there's the people setting fire to it http://gazette.com/manitou-springs-woman-holds-confederate-flag-burning/article/1554990 The guy in London with his ISIS flag http://uk.businessinsider.com/why-police-didnt-arrest-the-guy-wearing-an-isis-flag-in-london-2015-7?r=US The bloke with his ISIS/Sex toy flag who made CNN look stupid http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/30/isis-dildo-flag-london-pride-cnn Then there's the flag of Kanye West's missus at Glastonbury... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3142888/Kanye-West-fan-flies-Kim-Kardashian-sex-tape-flag.html Seems obvious - Flags are a problem and need to be banned.

The Joker Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 BUT IF YOU BAN FLAGS THEN THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON. (some emphasis added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Banning things is generally a really bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElasticMan Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Banning things is generally a really bad idea. Interesting how you never hear about MODERATE flag wavers denouncing the EXTREMIST ones though eh? Why aren't so called 'moderate' flag fans doing more to stop this?

The Joker Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Are you asking them to set some sort of standard on this? there's a good idea. Instead of different groups having their own flags, why doesn't a committee design a single flag that ALL groups can use? It would save a lot of misunderstanding and grief. Until the flag burners start burning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElasticMan Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Nazi flags near Carrickfergus bonfire site taken down by "outraged" residents http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-33436292 See! out of control this flag business! Notice how the outraged residents in this case are happy for terrorist murals on their walls though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Are you asking them to set some sort of standard on this? I think that one flew right over their heads! Perhaps we should have a pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassity Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 If it's the will of the overall majority to ban then why not. It would seem though that the vast and overall majority need their flags, like they need their royalty or religion..remove any or all and many will fall over. National flags are an in interesting concept..remove them and what do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
