oioi Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 woh! hold on here, lets be friends before this gets personal like all things there will be a difference of opinion, V8 vs. bec, blow job vs tit w**k personally i can see two sides to the argument, yes a small minority of people flying the flags will be a bigoted racist minority, but the majority will just want to say English and proud. lets be friends and not let this detiorate into a nasty slanging match. it is friday after all Quote

chrisbin Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 blow job vs tit w**k Well said OiOi! It was getting to look like a certain other website for a minute, wasn't it??? Quote
adhawkins Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Certainly is. Ok for all the other nations in the UK to be flag waving patriots, but when the English do it we're jingoistic racists... Who ever said life was fair anyway... Andy Quote
catflap Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 yep, Patriotism's, very strange indeed and very useful for governments Maybe pride for ones own county? or Maybe a mechanism for keeping people in line, and not all emigrating and questioning, and keeps the status quo just where they want it to be (those that are easily lead, follow easily) I’m a citizen of the world and been watching to much X files heheh Quote

the bear Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Anyone who is prepared to moan or complain about displaying a red cross flag and not being proud to be english at this time is a sad b@st@rd. IMHO you deserve to be hung or flogged Does'nt matter what sport is current either, get behind them. Oh you call yourself a bear, your not a bear you haven't got the balls You wouldnt like either of them as a wart on your nose! I will take it that your comments were meant a little in jest otherwise I could get offended. Female grizzly bears dont have balls but you wouldnt ask a wild one for a dance!!! If you read the post I have said nothing about my pride of being English I can trace my ancestry back in England for about 300 years can you! I just think its Football thats the problem, it just seems to bring out the worst in us as a nation. I heard that Millwall lost 30% of their 'fans' when they went members only. When I go abroad I dont like to be linked to the kind of behaviour our so called fans have displayed in the past and will no doubt repeat again. It seems to me that some use patriotism as a blind for racism and an excuse for anti social behavior. True patriotism is clearly demonstrated very well by the veterans of D day and prior to that of the Great War. It is angers me that if the football team win they will be called heroes and if they lose people will no doubt say it is a tragedy, when in fact neither will be the case. Heroes are those that are prepared to give or risk their lives for others, and to do it without reward, not get paid too much for playing a game. A tragedy is the fact that the money being spent on these flags and the tournement could be much better spent in so many other ways. Dont get confused about my motives ........ I hate football!!!! I also feel these nuisance flags are displayed by people who obviously feel the need to shout to everyone about how patriotic they are. Why do they need to shout about it? They also seem to want to live their lives in a state of suspended animation while 22 others play a stupid game for a result that is not at all important to anyone except them. I bet most of them think that Walford actualy exists and that cast of Eastenders are real people. If only we as a nation were able to spend as much money and effort on something that was actually worthwhile. Sadly we are declining into a situation where we all have rights but none of us wants to take responsibility. These flags are dangerous. Watch the game from the comfort of your own home or down the pub with like minded people by all means but dont try to force others to participate....... but most of all don't call it pride or patriotism, is just a game.
