News / Some Poles burning American flag [299]

I lived there

quote=Merrick] he's not intelligent [/quote]
I have many friends in Poland and in many other countries so your accusations on me being an "polonophobic racist" are more than ridiculous. Besides, I speak 7 languages fluent and have a master degree in economy, if you call me not intelligent, it already shows that you're not intelligent enough to even judge other people. It's obvious you must have made bad experiences with some Americans. Maybe you should look at yourself, your aggressive statements toward my person are showing me that you probably deserved to make all these negative experiences in the US. Any further comment I would make toward your person would be a waste of my precious time.......done

every other home has a flag :)

Personally I don't have any problem with that. I'm not ashamed of our flag. When I look at the flag I don't see Bush or any other politician behind it

Most of Polish people don't care about things like that.

all I can say I see Polish flags around

Where were you in Poland?

all over, currently Masurian Lakes. As far as I know there's a law in Poland about hanging out flags. Someone told me that Poles can hang them out only on certain days (correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't see people in Europe hanging flags on their homes like they do here.

not quite. Look at Polish people. Majority of them hang out national flags whenever they can. People in other countries do it too but not as often as the Americans, that's true. I don't have any problems with people hanging out flags and loving their countries as long as they accept and respect other people in the world.

the Union Flag is seen as a symbol of shame.

an absolutely unexpected statement but thanks anyway for explaining it to me.

the british have a very different relationship with their flag

tell me about it please

the british

I've met quite a few British and I had the impression that you guys are very proud of your country and your national symbols but I guess it's like in any other country, people are people, some love it, some don't care and some even hate it

A country is not its flag.

but the flag stands for the country. I'm talking about the symbol and not the piece of material it's made of. If you guys don't feel that way that's I guess your right to do so but as you probably realize, majority of people, no matter where they're from don't share your opinion. I'm not talking just about the American flag, I'm talking about the flags as the national symbols.

idiot

the word "idiot" coming from you espana is rather a compliment than an insult, lol.

may be effective in voicing that they're disgusted by our current policy.

well fisz, you should know better that even when most of the Americans disagree with Bush, as soon as we see someone burning our flag we start talking the same language. So whatever they're trying to achieve, burning our flag is not gonna change anything at all.

the right to speech?

you see, you're right about that one but burning a flag is ridiculous and doesn't change any policy, never did and never will. There are other ways to express our disagreement or disappointment.

However, the Supreme Court did not say that just because some idiots burn a flag, that the rest of us have to "listen" to what they are "saying". Seriously, it's so . . . done.

right Meg

he is a good american

¿cómo usted le conoce es un buen americano?

Sad as an American you don't.

fisz, why are you still saying, you're an American? Why can't you just admit who you are. It's nothing wrong with being Polish or Russian or just anyone else. You know, you got caught in the past using absolutely non-American expressions. I'm not looking for any argument at all I just don't appreciate people burning my flag and I'm definately not a blind follower of any politician including Bush and such I just believe that the flag stands for all of my nation and country and it bothers me when someone burns it. I'm pretty sure that most of the people on this forum feel the same. I'm not talking here about any rights, I'm talking about respect and understanding. I wouldn't burn any flag just because I disagree with someone or something. There are many other ways to express our disagreement.

Not everywhere. I don't know about others, but burning Polish in Poland is a crime. And we don't use to burn even Russian or German, so I'm very surprised.

thanks Grzegorz and besides burning a national flag of one country deeply touches millions of people even if they disagree with current politics and certainly doesn't solve any national or international problems.

Where did you see it, what network? Why were they doing it? Protest of missile base?

Can't name the network but it was sent today. I believe it was about Bush visit in Poland. Sorry was too short to get the sense out of it. I understand, some people or even many people don't like Bush but to burn the US flag, that's bull..........

antiglobalists

you might be right about that, I'm not sure, was too short
