Ok.....I've had enuff of this...............



I swear....we are doomed as a nation.......and just look at the ignorant masses just standing there cheering him on.....idolizing him. A country that has afforded this moron all the riches and fame he wanted! Money that could allow him to live elsewhere!! But where does he live???

Hypocrties!! A his stupid fans are so brainwashed they don't see it!! See those people standing there?? That's our future!!
I never listened to Li'l Wayne before. I've thought of him as just stupid. He made fun of Emmitt Till, and now he stomps on an American flag. I will never buy his music. However, I've learned boycotting his music won't stop him from acting like a fool.

Its hard to say. I guess you could make a very strong case that it was just a case of everyone around him and Wayne himself included having very empty noggins but that goes without saying with the music they were there listening to.
An act of malicious disrespect to get attention or simple idiotic unthinking brainlessness and carelessness? Its a sad commentary on the state of the country, regardless.
His music sucks and his on stage persona is that of aslow child on crack, BTW.

And what great wisdom do you have that can support such a definative ignorant statement?

I bought my flag at Wal-Mart and it was made in New Jersey.

Some only make fools of themselves by making statement on things they have NO idea of what they are talking about.

It is a real shame that so many have absolutely no pride in their country and the flag that represents us.

They is standard protocol in how the flag is handled.

One of the no-nos is tat the flag shall NOT touch the ground.

The fact that they PURPOSELY DROPPED THE FLAG ON THE GROUND shows me his "people" are ignorant about such protocols or just don't give a damn.

Righties,
What is worse: stepping on the American flag or leaking America's classified, security information to other countries?
Most people can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Why does one HAVE to be worse than the other?

That's the usual 6 year-old response on something like this.....

It's impossible to explain the difference between worship and respect to someone who ask the question you just did! LOL

We all have the right to do and say stupid stuff. That's the 2-edge sword of freedom. But it's funny how lefties like you don't know think about how some freedoms can hurt the very country you live in.

Just because I can do something doesn't mean I should do that thing.

Holy cow.



His Twitter explanation seems reasonable: the flag fell and he did not notice it.

I particulary like those herein who claim that they will 'never buy' Lil Wayne's recordings, as if they had been previously a huge purchaser of his records.
