To the anonymous person, thanks for the 'you suck' rep point. I appreciate it!
Sometimes, after doing car repairs, I wipe my hands in a hanging flag by the garage door.

And for what it's worth...it wasn't me that left the rep. Just in case you're wondering.

I have a couple of rep points like that too, they are only anonymous to us, not the moderators.

I really don't care what they write. I don't care if they write nasty stuff (including four letter words) about me in a post for all to see. I've never reported anyone to a mod and don't need that mommy figure.
All I can say to the anonymous reppers is 'enjoy yourself!

Whoever it was might think twice next time s/he wants to smear somebody anonymously.

Looks like they didn't have a decent pole for the American flag, so despite using the same bracket the American one drooped because it didn't fit into the lower socket of the bracket.



Then some right wing nutter made a big deal out of it to inflame the paranoid and nationalistic.

"Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school."

Now see? They fixed it. You can all untwist your panties now.

"it was done to celebrate the nationality of other students attending the school" To hell with that, PC garbage. I agree with other posters, there is only ONE flag to be flown in a public school. The American flag. Period. We need to stop coddling these immigrants and teaching them that it's ok to not assimilate.

I'm Italian, but who cares. The only flag I have flying in front of my house is the good old Stars and Bars.
