Where does it say the flag was too big? The only thing I've read is that there was a problem with the size of the flag.

Maybe the problem was that the flag was too small. :D

I don't think it did say the flag was too big anywhere but was more of us just wondering. You're probably right about it being too small though. These godless heathens probably didn't even want to bother burning a flag that small!

Good luck getting through. I finally got through and some lady answered and I didn't get but a sentence out and was hung up on.

well what's the point of disrupting the business at this time? They have conceded and let the flag thing go from what I understand in reading this thread.

a minor kerfuffle at an office over a gigantic flag in a cubicle doesn't merit a call from ANYONE outside of that building... it's needless overkill, and it's a public lynching and intimidation foisted on people who've committed at worst a minor infraction in some office somewhere.

it reminds me so much of 2003-2005 when you couldn't say or do anything to contradict ol George...

there are real things to get worked up about in this world, and this isn't one of them.
BS. Pure, unadulterated BS. Minor to YOU doesn't make it MINOR, junior. Typical PC crowd, letting the vocal minority rule the day. She put the AMERICAN FLAG in her cubical. NOT the Nazi Flag. Not the Hammer and Sickle. The damned AMERICAN FLAG. And she gets shit about it...with a daughter serving in Iraq as we speak. I say FUCK anybody who's got an issue with it, ESPECIALLY any foreign national who ain't got brains enough to know what it even stands for. Then they go and compound the situation by putting the flag on the floor.

May not be a big deal to you, but it is to me. And they deserve EVERY SINGLE BIT OF SHIT they get for this dumb ass response.

The day this stops being a big deal is the day we've offically hit the end of the road.

Womans American Flag "offensive"

Post by Ibanez »

http://cbs11tv.com/local/patriotism.at. ... 20415.html
For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.
I'm sorry, but if you should have the ability to display your country's flag, no matter what! Couldn't this be a freedom of expression(speach?) that is being prohibited?

Don't forget to remind the patriotic lady that she effed up if she rehung that flag after it touched the ground.

I'll wager that the supervisor, being from abroad, was acting more from ignorance than from malice.

I don't care if it's ignorance OR malice. They let ONE person set the rules for the entire office. Just to say they're "P.C." WAFJ.

If someone told me to take down my American Flag, I would tell them to shove it, and then to piss him off even more, I would buy like 10 more flags and hang them all in my office.

Its a good thing my boss isnt Anti-American, it also helps that he is my father.

Besides, he just cant wait to hang his American flag up at our brand new Cabin.

(I wonder how much longer we will be able to hang flags in our own yard)

Why? Do you have progressive arthritis or something?
