My Flag Pole is Down!

By the way, a lot of the rest of us served as well. The former Royal Canadian Air Force pilot who lives across the street from us flies the American Flag daily. I'll not take him to task for it.

I don't think you should assume that people who are presently serving don't appreciate a show of support by flying The Colors. They do it themselves with the patch of the shoulder of their uniform.

Off to work. Have a good day.

Quick question...I work as an EMT. For some reason people don't regard us as public service employees which frankly I find quite insulting. I don't have an American flag on my uniform...am I in any way serving my country less than someone who does wear a flag on their uniform?
The good ole boys club refers to backing up and helping out other men, nothing to do with age. My 21 year old boyf used the term the other week.
When you say, "my flagpole is down", you're asking for ridicule. He could have written the title differently but he did. Hilarity ensued. The end.

What you say is certainly true. My BF is a volunteer firefighter and puts his life on the line constantly, but yeah, you never really hear someone say that firefighters or EMTs are serving their country... Hell, he doesn't even paid for it!

This is one of the most posted trash I have ever seen in my life.

I was upset as My Flag Pole was blown down with the American Flag flying proudly in support of My fellow Americans who are fighting in harms way. Maybe I did not post it as some seem to think and nothing SEXUAL about it. That is some sick minded ass wholes who feel so inclined to think that!

These are My Brothers and Sisters of Greek Life who are losing their lives for us to try to do something good whether you beleive it or not.

Yes, My Father fought in the Pacific and My Uncle got 13 Purple Hearts in the same theater. So according to some they are not good enough to Honor?

I did not searve in the Military as had bad knees, but as DeltAlum pointed out, I was a Police Officer for 7 Years. So, who did you call when you had problems, A COP!

So, I did not buy a wrist band, but I fly a Flag of This Country Proudly in support. Just what the hell do you do?

You may sit on your fat assed liberal asses and so do nothing.

Some of the naysayers and liberals may kiss the fatest part of my rear.

You show your selves for what you are.

I went out and got another Flag Pole to replace the one that I can show support and Flag for My Country and My Fellow American and Greek Members who are protecting you asses to say and post what you do.

So, My question is just what have you done?

I know this is going to fall on deaf ears (as Tom continues to avoid my question to show me WHERE any of us have said that we are 100% against AI in any way, shape or form) -- but Tom is MAKING an issue that isn't here.

Where did ANYONE say:

a) the men & women are NOT trying to do something good

or

b) Some are not good enough to honor?

Okay, Tom & DA - get on it... please post the thread replies where anyone said either of these two things.

Otherwise, TOM, stop starting stupid SHIT and making a problem where there is none!!

And I am SO freaking glad that I'm not a liberal - no ass kissing for me

[AXO Alum]

Tom, DeltAlum.... anyone.... still waiting on an answer here...

(and Tom, if you don't like the direction this thread has gone, then by all means, DELETE IT entirely as you are the OP...)

Perhaps this post will get this whole thread deleted or at least locked down.

And I have been thnking of this for awhile now, so all this thread did was bring it to the fore front.

And several people, some not posting on this thread, caused me to even think of it.

Are we really going to down the "Mods should not have post anything that might show their opnions" road? Or is this a "Mods should know better because they are all knowing and powerful and should have a higher moral standard because they have the title of moderator" road?

Just wondering what you are trying to say here.

Then why the hell are you bitching about the content of the posts if you like reading it? You make absolutely no sense.

Uh, not flown my flag when it's crappy outside since that's disrespectful?

Touché.

I've read more of the flag code than anyone should have to and you're exactly right

Agreed. If I'm at home and it's raining, I take it down. If it's really windy outside, I roll it around the post and tie it so that it doesn't get tattered.

Oh, I forgot to mention...in case YOU forgot, being that you are senile and an alcoholic, a Sigma Kappa was the first sorority casualty in Iraq. So you can bite me.
