I hope for the sake of humanity everyone reading this will find it as stupid as I do. My dealer up the streets been getting constant phone calls and letters in the mail, not exactly harassing him, but damn close, telling him that its "offensive" that there is Titans flag (football team) set up under his American flag.
Ive been trying to get him to put up a communist flag, or confederate flag, just out of spite for our douchebag neighbors.
Does our countrys greatness have to be represented by a fucking peice of cloth? If he gets fined for this or something, I have no clue what I'll do...

Of course not, you're from Canadaland. My sister is moving to Canada soon, for good.... I would really like to go too :\
What I think is weird is my dealer isn't pissed off about this, he acts as if THEY have opinions of their OWN! What kind of fucking bull shit is that <_<

Found some interesting laws, but according to this there isn't much about Oregon. Still some of it is unbelievable, its baffling how a country full of oversensitive pussies is currently the worlds only superpower.
I should be glad I've never had a flag of any sort in front of my house...

the supreme court has always been conservative, yet they are big believers of freedom of speech and think that flag burning falls under that category.

"A ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court about banning flags
I thought the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that no banning of the type like in the city of Raleigh, NC, was permissible. The very famous case of the (extremely small) Nazi party in Chicago which obtained, after long struggle and much public debate, the right to march in a suburb mainly inhabited by people of Jewish extraction and religion."
That's outrageous, i think that the nazi flag should be banned, but even if not, a group of Nazi's are allowed to parade through a jewish neighbourhood. Thats like sending the KKK through an all black neighbourhood, its not something that should ever happen. The worse part is, they didnt just go and do it, they government gave them permission to do it.
and yes i am jewish, in case you were wondering.

Whats even worse (if i'm correct), the ACLU represented the Nazis in the case!
The ACLU believes that all people should be allowed the same rights, no matter what there beliefs are. Funny thing is, Nazi Fascism goes against everything the ACLU stands for, yet they still represented them.
What would piss you off even more is that it wasn't just any Jewish neighborhood. Most of the residents were survivers of the Holocaust and were imprisoned in concentration camps.
I don't believe that the Nazis ended up marching, they just wanted to prove a point or something.
I disagree that the Nazi flag should be banned though (i was raised Jewish as well). It's freedom of speech. It would be hypocritical and stupid to say that your beliefs are better than someone elses to the point where they can't have the same rights as you, no matter how fucked up you think their beliefs are.

this reminds me of an australian retiree who was living in a small retirement community somewhere in the US. outside of her house she had two flags flying, an american flag and the australian flag. she was threatened with eviction if she didn't take the australian flag down immediately because the stupid fuckers didn't know what it was. she took it to court and won. it just seems to me that people are too quick to move to extreme measures before actually researching anything. sounds familiar......

I must say, yanks can get pretty up tight when it comes to being patriotic. That doesn't even make sense, it's not like the guy is doing anything to the American flag. Did they tell him to take down the Titan's flag? What if he took down the American one instead? Bah, seems like a weird situation.

Take down the Titan's flag? Fuck no, if anything I'd do what shwoot said and just take down the American one to piss people off. FUCK AMERICA. FUCK GEORGE W. BUSH. HE CAN DIE FOR ALL I CARE FUCK THE UNITED STATES OF SHITFUCKING AMERICA!!!
Around here there are people all the time with flags under their US flags, hell I just saw one today with Ohio State on it. I don't give a flying fuck who puts what up in their yard. Freedom of expression mutha fuckas. Shit like a nazi flag or something is uncalled for but supportin a football team? George W. you stupid monkey cock..
