You think if your flag was facing the right way or it wasn't all tattered and torn they would have acted the same?
facing the right way, I'm really not worried about. I've gone out of my way to hang a flag... inside my shed even, where only myself and a select other few can see it. honestly, I'm really not worried about technicalities like that. I'm sorry to come back so harsh but it's just something that's always irked me. people freaking out about the orientation of the flag. for example, one day I cut my front lawn and whenever I do I need to remove the little yard-light (on a light sensor so it comes on automatically at dusk) that shines on the 3x5 flag that flies on the pole that I stuck in the ground in my yard. I took the time and sweat to dig a hole, buy some concrete, mix the concrete, stick the pole in the concrete, make sure it was level, and check it every 20 minutes or so to make sure it was still level and hadn't drifted off to one side. eventually the concrete was solid enough where I didn't have to worry about it anymore. dry, finally.
anyway, so I forgot to put the little light back after I cut the grass.
now, all that being said, you know some FUCKING ASSHOLE has the nerve to knock on my motherfucking door and preach to me about proper flag display practice!!!!!!! (for not having a light shining on it after dark). I asked this piece of shit where he lives and he pointed a few doors down and the fucking asshole didn't even have a fucking flag at all.
also, I think it was the old L&L site, or maybe it was right here on SP, I can't remember, but it was when I first put up that flag pole. I posted something about it, and one of the members has the nerve to fuck with me BECAUSE I SET THE POLE IN CONCRETE INSTEAD OF GRAVEL...... fucking ridiculous.
here's how I look at it: you love your country? *yea*... is that what you're trying to portray here with this flag? *yea*.... good job. carry on.
and as for the condition of the flag itself:
