Can't stand to see flags from other countries on people's lawn

There is nothing to be ashamed of where you come from but one must realize at the same time where you are at.

flying ones nationality flag is cool but while livng in the good ole USA the Stars and Bars should be flown on top of said nationality flag.

Tis just a matter of respect and acknowledgement.

If you hate freedom of expression so much why don't you get the fuck out?

I think you're spot on. Very well put.

If it's so good over there & they are so proud of it...how come they don't STAY?

Plenty of Americans fly the flag of the United States of America on their own property in my country.

You must live around Chicago op?

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!
