PocketRocket Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 The eternal problem of being relevant. Hilarious. And quite relevant. BTW, kudos to anyone who takes their own personal time to go out and maintain any sort of landmark, no matter the size or *ahem* relevance. Quote I need another coffee

BTW, kudos to anyone who takes their own personal time to go out and maintain any sort of landmark, no matter the size or *ahem* relevance. And that's why I opened this thread.

Obviously, only some of us understood that. The patriotism of the American people is admirable and envied by some. Quote
jbg Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Posted August 21, 2007 Recently, I've seen other privately maintained flags, in mint condition, on highway overpasses in New Hampshire and Connecticut.

jefferiah Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) At a house not so far from mine, they are flying both a Canadian and an American flag. I saw it the other day and I am thinking of doing the same. Edited August 21, 2007 by jefferiah Quote "Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it."

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) No shortage of Mapleleaf flags in my neck of the woods...they appear far south of International Falls. They are on automobiles, inside bars/restaurants, outside businesses, and in sports arenas. Edited August 21, 2007 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Guest American Woman Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Interesting. I didn't notice particularly many inside Canada, either in Niagara Falls, or in my most recent visits to Montreal or Quebec City. Canada isn't a nation of flag-flyers like the U.S. is.* I fly both the American and Canadian flags (when the American flag isn't at half mast) and have both stickers on my car. *Being an American, I love my flag.

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Canada isn't a nation of flag-flyers like the U.S. is. Of course not.....that would be too.....ummm...American. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Lots of people where I live fly the flag. Alot of my neighbours do. I just don't have a flag pole, and the idea of getting one is one thing. It takes me years to stir into action.

M.Dancer Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I used to have a flag in our window but my wife said it had to go. Said we weren't a university frat house. Also we weren't in Scotland either.... Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
jbg Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Posted August 23, 2007 Of course not.....that would be too.....ummm...American.Do school students "pledge allegiance to the flag" in the morning? In the US, school students, every morning (at least in New York) say:I pledge allegiance, to the flag,Of the United States of America, And to this republic for which it stands, One nation, under G-d, indivisible (hard for a Quebecker to say) With liberty and justice for all.

In the US, school students, every morning (at least in New York) say: There is no official pledge, but when I was in elementary we all used to stand and sing the anthem, and then there was something we would say after. Sort of like a pledge. And then we all said the Lord's Prayer, though we were not supposed to. Quote "Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it." Lao Tzu
jbg Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Posted December 14, 2007 Recently, I've noticed flags over other overpasses in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Nassau County, New York. I wonder if the people placing those received millions from the government and to return some of that to the governing political party, or if it was done for love of country?

jbg Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Posted August 21, 2008 Yesterday, I saw that some of the old standby flags over I-684 are being maintained, privately. No sponsorship program needed.

GostHacked Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 yikes. you must have interesting family meals. Some spotted dick with chips maybe, some beer, and saurkraut and bratwursts. My Oma (rip) was born Polish. She cooked the german-esque foods quite often. I always loved the food she made. My Grandma is more of less of a baker. It would work the other way around, Grandma would cook dinner, and Oma would make the desserts. Those two made a great team in the kitchen. I never really ever said that I did not care for my Grandma's turkey stuffing. I ate it anyways. Quote
