There must be. Is your title threatened?
Why would you ask the question otherwise?

... Sure, then, let us lift the intrinsic and spiritual quality of the debate again ~ let's get back to burning the homeless. There can't possibly be a connection between poverty, homelessness, saluting the US flag and Big Oil.

Need a match? How about a paper bag for your head?

That way you can pretend you didn't know what was going on...

A new record!

I continue to be amazed. Is there a limit to mindless prattle?

However, all countries are nothing but stupid boundaries to keep the rich rich, whilst the poor slave to keep them richer.
Well...obviously the people who design, produce and distribute passports are pretty pleased with them...
Patriotism is one reason why America is a great country...'nuff said.

Maybe to you your flag is a rag on a stick; if so, shame on you for desecrating the millioins of Brits dying in the 2 ww wars just so you could write such a sordid description

duh!

The flag stands for freedom. You are free to come see for yourself, and free to leave if you don't like what you see. Is America perfect? … far from it. Are there injustices? …all to many. Unfortunately citizenship here gives no guarantees of perfection or justice.

There may be better places to live, I know there are worse…Now go help a homeless person where you live. Make your country better.

In order for a democracy to work it requires that active particpation of its citizenry.

If your country has all too many injustices I advise you to put down that beer, lardass
and look closer to home to where the responsibility lies.
