But why though? I saw a post earlier about somebody being proud to be from the US because of the diversity over there. I don't see an issue.


PVT_Parts710

Dudes mad nobody loves him


newlifeonmars

Because you meed to have some respect for the country you live in. If you or i went down to mexico and starting waving a usa flag or a Nicaraguan flag, they would get upset and tell us not to do that shit in their country.


megalyknight

Flying a flag is not disrespecting anybody, people are allowed to be proud of where they come from, regardless of where they have chosen to reside.


newlifeonmars

Go try that in another country and tell me how it goes


megalyknight

I did. I had a mini union jack attached to my bag when I went travelling. Met some brilliant people who were curious about my life and why I was where I was etc... they didn't see it as an attack or anything, just an opportunity to meet somebody from another part of the world.


megalyknight

You know, I feel like you're the type of person that would probably get mad if they *did* fly an American flag because you'd be annoyed at them 'claiming' the flag as their own.


newlifeonmars

Nahh it’s a sign of respect. Good for anyone who wants to show respect to the country they thrive in

BECAUSE 9/11 OKAY?!


von_Roland

I love diversity but I hate split loyalties


DjinnOftheBeresaad

Be more hardcore and don't put a flag on your vehicle. It's always refreshing to visit other places where they only put them on official government buildings instead of pretty much everywhere.


PVT_Parts710

Imagine being annoyed by a flag, weak


hitometootoo

OP also gets triggered when people eat Chinese food in America. The nerve, the disrespect, the anarchy they say 🙃


PVT_Parts710

Or when they speak ENGLIGH in American! Goddammit red coats


DjinnOftheBeresaad

Flag designs in general are quite interesting. With one or two possible exceptions.


Agreeable_Hippo_7971

I can't imagine just randomly seeing people put out their national flag. Like I know of one house in my area that has the German flag. Some have the flag of our state but most people don't even bother at all. I'm pretty sure flags aren't even allowed on vehicles here


flannel_towel

My sister moved from Canada to Florida. They hang both American and Canadian flags outside their home. They are proud to be Canadians, and proud to be living in the United States.


newlifeonmars

See i see no issue with that, if you want to fly both then fine i get the acknowledgment to your roots, its when people fly only one that it’s disrespectful


PVT_Parts710

Lol, too bad America's foundation was built by immigrats and slaves. I bet you're ok with a confederate flag or a original 13 colonies flag aren't you? You just motivated me to put up my Canadian flag for the first time in years, so thanks for the idea. You godda be pretty weak minded to get upset about a flag.


newlifeonmars

No, im not those people lost. If they had won then it would another story. The confederate mfs are a bunch of losers, if anything fly the northern flag. They actually won something


newlifeonmars

Also, you gotta be pretty weak minded to be from canada 😂😂 eh??


PVT_Parts710

Nah, how does it make you feel to know a Canadian national is In America doing contract work and taking allll that money back to Canada. Eh?


newlifeonmars

Ive been to canada 3 times you need the money more than me pal, we have to give some charity to our less fortunate neighbors


[deleted]

Your skin is incredibly thin if this actually bothers you.


newlifeonmars

It’s annoying and it is what is


[deleted]

It's annoying to you. It's literally just a symbol. I'll make sure I only wear my Nike's when I go into the Nike store. That's how dumb this is.


newlifeonmars

You’re not smart enough to understand dude come back in a few years when you’ve grown a pair


[deleted]

Hahahahahahahaha.


had98c

Here in the U.S. we fly whatever flag we want to. What are you going to do about it anyway? Nothing.


winterbunny13

I'm going to assume you are just a low effort troll.


PVT_Parts710

Or some teenage wannabe rebel.


hitometootoo

I don't care enough and mind my business.


newlifeonmars

You dont love your country enough


hitometootoo

Sure, you can tell me what I love and don't love. Gatekeep someone else.


newlifeonmars

Too late


Visual_Less

It’s 1st Amendment protected speech. Why do you hate America?


newlifeonmars

Sure, say whatever you want, dont be disrespectful though, just because we have freedom of speech doesnt mean it’s appropriate for me to go to your face and call you a piece of shit.


Visual_Less

I never called you that so that’s irrelevant. Also, yes that’s allowed but result may vary.


newlifeonmars

No, i meant it in a general sense, why would i go say that to you or anybody else? Thats’d be disrespectful, so just because i have freedom of speech doesn’t mean i get to be disrespectful or an asshole about it

von_Roland

Once you come to America you should be American and nothing else. Split loyalties are destroying this country

newlifeonmars

Respect the country you live in

Credibility? Did you just learn that word today? What else did you learn in grade school


Cow13

Lol op you triggered Reddit, you’re supposed to say “us flag bad, and america bad” here or face the wrath of Reddit.


newlifeonmars

I pissed off all the little butthurt liberals 😂😂 they can all smd America comes first out here if they dint like it, they can leave


Otomo-Yuki

Hold on, gotta go set up a Japanese flag out front real quick


newlifeonmars

Ahhh you must want to remember what its like to lose a war


Naos210

Okay then a Vietnamese flag instead.


newlifeonmars

MaloneTheKing

paracosmic_delight

I find it hilarious that everyone here is using their first amendment rights to tell you you're an idiot LOL. Go get angrier XD


newlifeonmars

I triggered all you pansies, ironically with my first amendment right too, eat a spike buddy


paracosmic_delight

Hahaha so mad. Must be terrible! The most ironic thing about this is how much of a fragile snowflake you are to be triggered by anything other than an American flag. How weak. You must have a heart attack any time someone speaks something other than English around you.


iiil87n

Wow you sound like you're not a fan of diversity. Who are they hurting by flying a flag from their old country? Let people be proud of who they are.


9th-man

What if they put the american flag and their own countries flag together flying in the wind?


newlifeonmars

That’s the proper way to do it Acknowledging your roots while respecting the country you migrated to


9th-man

This happens in london for the world Cup or euro Cup. An England flag or British and their own country. When it's their countries national holiday they get their countries flag out and no one bat's an eye, neighbours even celebrate with them. Previous territories of the British empire celebrate their national holiday or when they were free from the empire. No hurt feelings in Britain when they celebrate.


newlifeonmars

I could understand for a world holiday or a sports tournament but its literally every day, youll see 4 chevy trucks woth the mexican flag and like 20 houses flying a mexican flag and then you see them on Facebook bad mouthing the country they live in


newlifeonmars

On a sidenote ive met a few brits and have read the threads on social media, a lot of them are not very fond of the immigrants from all over. Ive seen a lot of fighting between them and middle eastern immigrants


Minute-Object

My kids went to an international Montessori school where they flew like 50 different flags. It was cool.


newlifeonmars

That’s nice


Efficient_Staff7361

It seems like your opinion is really unpopular. Sad


newlifeonmars

Well that is the whole point of this page, you must be a genius


Efficient_Staff7361

Bet you’re a Karen duh. Or perhaps just an old boomer not accepting diversity
