My "racist" Rant On Nationalism

I dont really understand why we in Australia are supposed to care about middle eastern refugees


We are in the asia pacific region, 100s of millions of people across south east asia, the pacific islands, papua that want to come here for a better life

Whens the last time you heard about an angry phillipino driving over people with a truck in Nice

You would Be Fucked on your own !

 

No change there then. Let's be fucked without a bunch of tory cunts in London telling us what to do. An improvement on still fucked.

 

The American flag is used at a doormat at the Iranian Parlement.

 

I identify with neither patriotism nor nationalism. But I always assume people who fly or display foreign flags in America miss their home country, at least a bit. Or they want to signify their home to others, in case a fellow immigrant from that country sees it. I've had times when I took a place I lived for granted, and didn't realize how much I "missed" it until I was gone. So seeing or hearing a reference to my former home gave me little happy waves of nostalgia and a feeling of comradery.

I'm not sure I agree with the premise of this thread. I can't say I've traveled widely enough to accept of reject it entirely, though.

Non-American members: How would people react to seeing an American flag in your country?

 

The flag is a piece of cloth and deserves no worship

 

It does seem oddly "catholic" doesn't it?

 

I don't know about Catholic per se but people oddly Hold the Flag up such high regard and it shouldn't be nationalism is a cancer that eats away at the human psyche

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my...

 

The article sounded bi-polar to me.

 

Agreed. Instead of having them recite the pledge every morning how about teaching them something about the rights and responsibilities (in particular) of a good citizen. Have them pledge to become well informed, to question their leadership, to become involved in local politics.

 

They wouldn't.

 

My parents went on their honeymoon by traveling across the African continent in the early 80s. They said in those days, sporting an American flag brought you a lot of hospitality because foreign attitudes toward America were a lot more positive back then.

 

this is the assclown flag that permeates where I live..

 

It's confined to one city but this is by far the most prevalent and annoying non-US flag flown in this area.

 

Lots of Marine Corps flags. The confines of this system limits our borders and life experience

 

I dont think many people would bother about it except maybe somewhere like Bradford where there are a lot of Muslims they dont seem to like Americans ( they dont like the English Flag either )

 

ask him yourself instead of just drinking more wine and making things up

 

Glen drinks wine

 

This is the flag I have to contend with in my part of the country.
