    anybody that gets pissed about a flag is just expressing their own insecurities

    [QUOTE="Bobbythegreat, post: 10743317]......Ole Miss still using the Confederate flag is less offensive to me than the Cubs being in the World Series.[/QUOTE]

    BTG and I agree on something

    This is pretty much my view, but George Carlin says better than I can.

    Having read that... who honestly gives a crap?

    Seeing another country's flag in a vehicle would illicit absolutely zero response or reaction from me.

    But to answer your question, what if they were a citizen of that or another country? Would that make it okay then?

    Would they pass your freedom test?

    Houston is just now finally getting it's due as a true melting pot. People are just now starting to give it credit as the most diverse city in the nation.

    Even Texas, as a whole, most people think of it as nothing but rednecks and Mexicans - especially in the northern part of the US. You'd be surprised how there are people from the northern US that think the people of the South dislike them. It's crazy. None of that is true.

    Even my wife was slightly offended when my very redneck uncle called her a Yankee Girl when he first met her. I told her he meant nothing by it, and she still doesn't believe me. Lol

    Depends on the flag. I think the Brazilian flag is kind of cool, so I wouldn't have a problem with that one. Japan's is OK as well even though there's that whole WWII thing. France has a bad flag. Tri-color? That's so plain it's obnoxious. Even a maple leaf is better. I would definitely report that flag just for aesthetics.

    Doesn't matter to me. I used to have the flag of my mother's native country displayed in my car until the string supporting it broke. I'm the son of an immigrant and I am proud of that. The only people I've ever seen have any issue with any display like this are those who feel inferior to successful immigrants.

    What if it were painted on the roof of a dodge charger?

    I don't recall ever seeing someone displaying a flag from another country on or in their car. If I lived in another country I don't think I would be flying the Stars and Stripes on my car, but that's just me. I suppose I like to blend in with the natives.

    If you care how someone else decorates the inside of their car you need a ****ing hobby.

    When I see lakers and or mavericks flags in cars, I burn them to the ground. Then urinate the fire out. Then set it on fire again.

    Chump, put your boner back in your pants (and make sure Mommy doesn't see it!) and your politics back to D&D. That crap doesn't belong here. One could argue that the thread topic doesn't either, but it didn't bother me until I got to your stupid post.
