That's cause you're a nazi.. would you like it if you happened to live in Mexico or Poland or any other place on this planet, and somebody didn't allow you to put your own flag on your own property and they forced you to only worship the flag of that specific place?

You don't have to fly any flag.   Yea people ae free to fly whatever flag they want.  But if you move to Mexico or Poland, and you become a resident there, why would you fly an American flag?

Freedom of expression, I dunno? I'm not dumb enough to care about flags like you.. but it surely wouldn't feel nice to live in a climate of oppression where flying a different flag was not allowed huh..

People can do whatever they want.  I wouldn't want to see them ban such a thing, your conclusion about me believing such a thing is an error.    All I said was that I don't like it.  It makes me uncomfortable.   Is that so wrong???

Not going to petition the local government to make an ordinance or anything.

Original Message Just a vent post, I guess.

A few houses down, the neighbors put a big Mexican flag up on their front lawn. A couple blocks away, theres a house with a Polish flag on their front lawn.

I feel this goes beyond paying respect for your country of origin. If you are an United States citizen, and you want to hang up a flag, maybe pay respect to your real home country - the one you currently live in, work in, and have oppurtunites in.

I don't mean to sound like I worship the American flag or anything. It just fits in America, after all we are on American soil. The other flags just don't "fit".

I understand there are occasions to wave another country's flag. Polish Constitution Day, Mexican Inderpendence Day, you see a lot of flags put up to pay support. Or even on the grounds of heritage cultural centers. Thats fine.

Just bothers me to see a Mexican flag up down the street and it looks like a permanent fixture. We aren't in fucking Mexico!
