Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use to first, shrink wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead. - Arundhati Roy

Was that statement/quote recorded by a poet, or a politician, or what?

I agree, most people wouldn't care. There are some ignorant closed minded people that do however.

Oh, you mean the patriots? I call them sheep

This thread is similar to the other Cinco de Mayo situation. Basically, you should accept the others' nationalities and traditions. America is a breadbasket of many.

My mom told me that quote, I agree with it, however the country's flag is a symbol of national pride. If you have no pride in the nation that you live in, then why do you live there?

Certianly true, Kyouzou. I looked at that video, Moe. It makes you think what one or a group of us Americans will do to test their tolerance? That will cause MAYHEM.

They shouldn't be arguing to us on American soil.

People get so full of themselves and get very ignorant sometimes when it comes to what "being an American" is. This country was made to take in anyone who wanted to be free! Why should Mexican Americans go back to Mexico? They want to be here for opportunity and freedoms. People may think we don't have that many, but it's more than most places.

It just makes me angry when people get mad at others and tell them to go back to "their country". This is America, damnit! It belongs to ALL Americans.

-- to add on to my post --

It belongs to ALL Americans, not just us white ones who were born here.

'Yall are right. It is cruel to just say go back to your own country. Your ancestors didn't come from the U.S., so don't complain.
