This American flag controversy at UC Irvine has turned into something reminiscent of the flag burning amendment stuff from a while back

Posted by con_carne Mar 13 '15, 08:25

Six students were tired of this random American flag on the wall of their student lounge and wanted to take it down. Six. They argued about it and put the matter up for a vote for some reason, and they lost. The flag is still up! Yet because MURICA, this is a story that has legs. Their mistake seems to have been daring to talk about the American flag's place in daily life.

- And you know these protesters don't give a damn about the students. e.g.I'd like to know how many of them were out protesting the latest tuition hikes - con_carne Mar 13, 08:44
- I get the power of symbols. I have trouble getting the value of every version of one, though. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:30
Those people... have too much time on your hands. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:26
