bmcd308 0 #55 February 2, 2004 >>I am telling you that I do not think this way, but...you ever think that he may think that this country has issues??? Kinda like flying the flag upside down...like he was wearing it??? Just a thought. The way that the flag was hanging that he was wearing was backwards...a sign of a country in distress. -Slut << I went to a pre-9/11 Kid Rock concert, and despite the fact that I am not really a fan of his music, I'll defend him on this one. His concert was incredibly laced with patriotic sentiment, including large American flags on display in the background. He spent a good bit of time talking about what a great country this is, etc. I believe him to be a very patriotic guy. While I do not appraove of cutting up a flag to wear it, and I can't imagine that he meant to do anything offensive or make a statement of anything other than his own patriotism, even if it wound up being misguided.

misskriss 0 #56 February 2, 2004 QuoteWhile I do not appraove of cutting up a flag to wear it, and I can't imagine that he meant to do anything offensive I agree with you completely. I don't think he meant to be offensive. He did a concert in the Hampton Roads area awhile back after the bombing of the Cole and he donated all of the proceeds to the families.

Shotgun 1 #58 February 2, 2004 It seemed like a patriotic gesture to me and didn't bother me, but I guess technically it is against that "Flag Code" (as are many other things I've seen printed with the American flag). I don't see these posted, so here are some photos... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #61 February 2, 2004 Another thing about the "Flag Code" . . . Just to pick nits. Are we all aware that most times what may look like the flag of the United States really isn't? Unless it conforms to the specifications as set forth by Executive Order 10834 then, it's not a U.S. flag.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I still love messing with people.. as I said in one post that very few ever picked up...I will argue any point.. just for arguments sake...BWAHAHAHAHAHA Still there are all these people who put so much stock in everything patriotic.. yet do not know how to properly maintain or to display this symbol that so many of us cherish.

pds 0 #66 February 3, 2004 anybody notice that it says 'should not' and not 'shall not'. no american ever fought or died for a flag. they fought and died [edit: some of them anyway] for freedom. the freedom, by the way, to burn the fucking flag. i aint mad at ya dave and i dont choose to use flags in the manners depicted throughout this thread. i just get so worked when i hear people posturing about the flag, the flag, omfg the flag. the flag is a piece of cloth. QuoteYup, the actule Flag Code is here: http://www.usflag.org/us.code36.html Quote§176. Respect for flag No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. (b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise. (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. (f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling. (g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. (h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. (i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. (k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. namaste, motherfucker.

cvfd1399 0 #67 February 4, 2004 There is a difference between a real flag cut/altered and worn, than garments that have a flag print on them. Even the code shows that flag print hankercheifs and other things are ok. The flag he wore had the white webbing material on the field edge and gold colored grommets on it. It doesn't piss me off just something to note out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #69 February 9, 2004 QuoteIsn't it disgraceful to cut a hole in and wear a real flag? This is a terrible disgrace upon our Flag.

samhussey 0 #70 February 9, 2004 Is it ok to wear a piece of clothing that has the flag pattern on it though? Something like a shirt or similar? It happens quite a bit over here, for example, see the VMax tops they wore at the world meet. Or Geri Halliwell when she was a spice girl. But no-one wears an actual flag, cut up, as far as I'm aware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You all would be singing a different tune had it been some bimbo with melon boobs and half her ass hangin' out. Geez, get over yourselves, everyone has their own way of being patriotic. Being different doesn't make him any less American! First of all, if it were some bimbo with melon boogs and half her ass hanging out (yes this includes Britney and Christina) I still would have been pissed. Everyone has their way of being patriotic, yeah, but tearing up and American flag and then sporting it around is not a way to show it. He might as well have burned the shit on stage. Besides, Kid Rock IS a schmuck. I've been in the music biz, and played with many bands who acted just like him, cocky assholes who only wanna get money, laid, and worshipped. He's doin it for all the wrong reasons. And one more thing, this may just be me, but another patriotic thing off subject that pissed me off was Paul McCartney at the 9/11 concert. He was one of the head performers and he's NOT EVEN AMERICAN. I respect Paul McCartney for all he's done for music today, he's a very talented man with a very warm heart, but I feel thatout of respect for the USA, he should have turned down that gig.
