you're the offshoot of a prison colony. same difference.

I always thought NZ was Australia's outhouse. Based On the Kiwi posts I see here I have little reason to doubt that.

Idk, NZ isn't that bad. They've contributed more to my life than most other countries (LotR and FotC).

You guys got vikings right?

Report it to a veteran:

Crime with no punishment

exactly.

 

[IronWing]

exactly.

No, it isn't even a crime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Flag_Code

The flag should never be displayed with the union (the starred blue union) down

When a flag is so tattered that it can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.

http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RL30243.pdf

that is not true.

The flag should never be displayed with the union (the starred blue union) down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.[3]

from the wiki you linked to.

I have pics if anyone wants to host them.

are you a Fox news shill or something, trying to create anti-controversy?


Anyway, :thumbsup: to Perknose.

 

[zinfamous]

Nope.

I want to make Desecration of the National Symbol for reasons of Hate... Against the Law.

What about for reasons of...negligence?

 

[bfdd]

The best thing you could do OP is get a new flag and offer to replace theirs for it.

 

[MedicBob]

it's also a federal crime to fly a flag at night without a light on it

Nope....

If the flag can be visiblely recognized as the US flag it does not need further illimination.

And i'm pretty sure there are many americans with mexican ancestory .. as well as mexicans with american ancestory... as well as canada <-> America.


when countries are that close together... cross-contamination is inevitable.

but i guess they didn't teach you any of this in your highly decorated educational system.

what makes you think they can swim so easily...let alone want to swim between these countries? You have any idea what kind of nasty critters patrol those waters? D:

 

[zinfamous]

No, it isn't even a crime.

I read your post.

And I agree.

:thumbsup:

My guess is that a small, unknown country or island like Astoria with more than one queen willing to associate with you is not going to have the money to purchase a new flag. Queens cost money. They probably think they are doing well by displaying what they have as a gesture of international goodwill. You could act like an ambassador of the U.S. and provide them with a new flag on your next visit to their art studio.

Well NZ does have something going for it.

If flying a tattered flag was a crime that carried a penalty, I'd be all over these dumb fucking rednecks who drive around with a flag mounted in the back of their pick-ups...and fly the flag until it's just a collection of threads on a pole.
Ignorant cocksuckers...IMO, that's worse than burning the flag in protest of something. At least the flag burners are trying to make a point...

 

[iGas]

What is the incarceration in the United States again?

A Free country that is full of criminals.

IMHO, if you are going to fly a flag, then make sure that it is a well keep flag other wise it diminish the meaning, however calling it a crime is just ludicrous.

I was recently in Astoria, Queens and I passed by the Kaufman Astoria Studios. They have an American flag hoisted on the roof of the building. The flag is all torn up and needs to be replaced. I reported this to the studio but they've done nothing. It's unacceptable to have the American flag looking like this. It may as well be upside down. Who can I report this too?

I once saw an agency fly the Union Jack upside down, it was the worst day in my entire life.

The horror!! D:D::'(

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

The horror!! D:D::'(

I know, i despise those who do that.

Someone even asked me how i know if it's upside down... I LOOK AT IT!

What the fuck kind of a question is that?

haha, you called it cross-CONTAMINATION

I like it :awe:

 

[Spacehead]

Narmer, as other have said, maybe offer them a new one to fly. Or see if there's a local VFW or American Legion around & see if they could ask them to replace it.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

It's actually a Federal Crime to display the American Flag that way.

Perhaps this doesn't matter to you because american's are patriots and Kiwis are criminals ... you know... the whole.... Austrailia was a prison thing...

So isn't commiting crimes as a federal politician, but it happens all the time--just like allowing these flags to go and wither away.

 

[Saint Nick]

Just go up there and spill gasoline all over it. Then, light it on fire. After a while, it'll just burn up and be gone, then you won't have to worry about it.
