Sorry, but you claim to hate US policy, US capitalism and our foreign policy. You make sure to point out mistakes by the US in topics that have nothing to do with the US.

Your claim at not being anti-american is tenuous at best.

I comedian burned an American flag on live tv here a few weeks ago.
And the American embasy said there was nothing they could do about it as long as it was politically motivated.

And thats the way it should be. I don’t like when people burn the flag, but I don’t think it should be a outlawed as opposed to the French view.

I was pointing out how the US DID do this. The US even has laws about what other flags can be flown next to the stars and stripes, and the sole flag that can be flown higher than it.

God help the soldier who lets the flag touch the ground, they do get time in the stockade.

You asshole, you aren't even from the U.S.

I apologize. I lost my nerve. I don't like it when people bash something that is a sign of respect in the U.S.

The USA is A OK!

Yogs is right on the money with his post. If it was the US that made this law and some1 put it up there would be a ton of posts as look how bad america is and america is evil. That was his point and if you weren't blind and looked at all the posts you'd see he is right. Instead of saying how bad France is you looked for ways to trun it back on America

And neither, I suspect were your ancestors.For a country decended from immigrants,the U.S. has a mighty over-developed sense of national identity.The fact that someone who disagrees with U.S. foreign policy isn't an American citizen doesn't make him an asshole.If you can't come up with a reasonable argument,say nothing.

My grandfather was. I guess he can have an opinion based on the permission system in here.

What flag can be flown higher than a American flag, other than an SOS flag??

I had flags touch the ground, by mistake, many times as a Marine. Never served any time...
