My Flag Pole is Down!
 

The wind blew a lonely pole down in My yard. It was the Pole that I planted to Honor Men and Women not only now but for the past who died to give us a Freedom to post on here!:(

Find something wrong with this and I will fight anyone!

I Have To Get a New One put up this weekend!

Your flag pole may be down, but I hope there's still a tingle in your dingle.

His flagpole is down because Blueangel hasn't been on to stroke his bloke lately.

I thought there was going to be some breaking news in this thread. Tom your self-impotence is underwhelming!

If he has a tingle in his dingle, he might want to get that checked by a doctor.
Reading the thread title immediately sent my mind to the gutter. Good to know I am not the only one.

No, you're definitely not. The 12 year old in me cracked up. :D

Ok, glad I'm not the only one who thought something weird from the thread title.

Thank you one and all for taking something that is meaningfull about Honoring our Men and Women for serving our country and turning it into trash.

I hope not a one of you know anyone or have Greek Brothers and Sisters or family fighting for us.

You are really swell.:o

The Flag pole and Flag mean a lot to me, but I guess not to some.

You're welcome.

What does your impotent dingle have to do with serving our country?

My father is a Vietnam veteran, and both of my grandfathers were WWII veterans. You don't need to lecture me because of your unfortunate choice of words.

Keep out of it.

Dingle has nothing to do with it!

Love how you debase.

As someone whose family's military service goes back over 5 generations, I'm going to have to concur with you.

Vets in my family as well. A pole does not deserve respect. A the meaning behind the flag does though.

Precisely - I think a lot of us would be outraged if a person knocked the pole down, but wind knocks things down. It happens.

One would think that some of the more semi intelligent posters would realize that if there was a Flag Pole, I would have a Flag on it.

I guess not.:o

Yes, please practice safe sex. Flagpoles without flags can spread disease, kiddos!

How do you PLANT a pole? Did you honestly expect it to grow? Perhaps you watered it too much with your whiskey, Tommy boy...

Btw, my VETERAN father (served in Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. along with 20 years of military service as a pilot of Apaches in various countries) thought this thread was a really funny one. He laughed when he read it at first. Then, he asked me what dumbass started it.

Considering that if the wind was that bad you should have taken down the flag long before the pole got knocked down...I had no reason to think there was a flag on it.

Your self-impotence is now OVERwhelming.

Amen...maybe the flag pole should have been taken down a while ago also; that flag pole might have killed someone whilst falling (Welcome to Lawsuit City, Population: You). Was this pole professionally installed into the ground or was it some half-@$$ amateur installation job?

Oh, but then it would've been the lawyers fault the pole killed someone and he was sued.

Lawyers don't kill people. Tom Earp's self-impotence kills people.

this thread is pretty funny

carry on

love.it. :D

Anyone know why this post would be report worthy? I'm just wondering...

do you know who reported it?

take a wild guess

Am I the only one who thinks Tom had good intentions?

He may not be a veteran, but did serve his community as a police officer, and I for one am ready to believe that his flag pole and the flag flying from it was an honest attempt to honor our veterans and our country.

Making fun of his writing style and spelling is one thing -- heck, he does it himself -- questioning his sincerity is something else. None of us knows his motives and is in a position to question them.

Many of these posts seem to me to be nothing less than personal attacks on someone who can be controversial.

And, by the way, the term "planting" a flag pole -- or any pole -- is not unusual. I'm also not sure why comparing the American Flag, or any other, to a condom is in particularly good taste, either.

Real question is, why did there have to be a thread about the fact that his flagpole fell over?

You can ask that question about a lot of threads on GC. It's a bulletin board.

DeltAlum, Tom set himself up for it by making the title of the thread a sexual innuendo. Personally, I get annoyed by people who do things like display the flag or put one of those "support our troops" ribbon stickers on their car, without actually doing anything to support the troops. It's like people who wear Livestrong wristbands to say that they support cancer but don't really do anything to help support cancer research other than buying a rubber $1 bracelet.

And why did he have to give it a provocative title like that? He certainly isn't innocent when it comes to dirty remarks... as has been proven by his numerous comments to women around here. Because he chose to give it a title such as he did, he invited it to go that way.

Sorry that you have no sense of humor, DeltAlum. What else are we supposed to say? Take care of your property better? You're lucky no one got hurt? Perhaps he was being disrespectful of the flag in his own right by flying it in inclement weather and not properly caring for the flagpole. If the non-tornado strength wind blew his flagpole down, it was obviously either not installed properly or was in disrepair.

You don't have to agree that something is in good taste- because being in bad taste isn't illegal or against the TOS, nor are you the taste judge. Most everyone else thought it was humorous.

I'm not ready to decide that Tom had sex in mind.

Maybe that's a product of other minds. I've said a few things that, in retrospect, came out sounding wrong myself.

In addition, do you know that Tom does nothing else to support our troops. And, are you saying that displaying the flag is not a show of support?

Not that I feel a real need to justify my comments to you, but hey, I had a couple of seconds of down time...

I was having fun (as well as others) with the wording of the post; it was Tom who took us to task for some perceived slight at our countrymen. Those of us who are children of veterans (or grandchildren of them) responded to that criticism, and I don't personally think those responses were personal attacks.

It's an empty show of support. A soldier fighting in Iraq doesn't care if Tom, or anyone else for that matter except maybe his/her family, is flying a flag on his/her lawn.

You can think whatever you want about whether or not he had sex on his mind. His constantly sexual comments and inneundos to many of the GC women show otherwise. But yeah, that good ole boys membership makes a person blind of that.

How IS displaying the flag a show of support for troops? Whoop-de-doo you have a flag. That's nice and all, but it doesn't really show anything besides the fact that you bought it and gave the money to whatever company who is making a profit off of it. If someone wants to play the support-the-troops card, they should actually do something to support the troops.

My thoughts exactly.
