    I immediately think that is the soccer team they support.

    If you've ever wondered how things can progress to the point where something like genocide happens, look no further than the people who get upset at these types of things.

    That type of behavior isn't fueled by patriotism, it's fueled by hate and ignorance. Glad to see we don't have people like that around here.

    This is stupid. Unless you're Native America, then your parents immigrated to America just like everyone else who came here.

    Damn cheke. Sorry to see that.

    You should start a GoFundMe page to help with the repair cost.

    No probs here with flags celebrating other countries, sexual preference, sports teams, etc... but if I see someone with a confederate flag on their car I do automatically assume they have a low IQ, shitty job, and that I'm all around better than them. Sorry, Cletus.

    So many unhappy idiots today blame foreigners for today's problem. Racism never ends, so you remove one race then that hate will transfer to the next race. It doesn't stop until it reaches gender and physical features (height, eye color, hair).

    The truth is they are unhappy and need something to be blame so they choose to be angry, because being angry beats being sad.

    Your parent's parents, and if not then their parents. Grandparent is still technically a parent.

    Pretty simple to me, if you put yourself into the scenario.

    Let's say your job promoted you and gave you this huge raise for this lush job/position, only it was in let's say
    Burn it with fire.

    Flags leave too much open to interpretation. People need to be more direct, like this guy:

    Another countries flag? Why would you fly the flag of another country? Are you a citizen of another country? Are you ashamed to be an American? If so, why are you here.

    I am not going to say anything to someone (especially a woman) because they have the flag of another nation hanging in their vehicle or their home, but I don't like it generally. When I have spent extended time in Ireland for business, I did not go around strutting an American flag, and if I had, it wouldn't have been appreciated. I find it disrespectful. Having said that.... there are many other bigger worries.

    A countries flag? Not offended.

    A little offended by the confederate flag, which is sported heavily around Texas, but it's not like I would ever say anything to the person.

    I see where you're coming from, but USA is a very diverse country, especially in large cities. So it's a bit different than a small country like Ireland which is nearly 90% white Irish people.
