And your resorting to name-calling ("moron", "doofuses", "an ounce of brains", "idiotic") or attributing unsubstantiated motives ("to express their disapproval of the government of that nation") are even less effective in presenting your case to those of us who fly or will fly the flag upsidedown in these times of dire distress.
Sure, Carl. Whatever you say. Flying the flag upside down is for important matters such as being upset, not just for trivial stuff like sinking ships and such, and that’s undoubtedly why the Flag Code was written and passed in the first place.
Don’t get all sniffy about name-calling until you learn to read and comprehend. I have not actually called you yourself any of those things, though I did state that your interpretation of the Flag Code is idiotic, because it is. And what is this nonsense about unsubstantiated motives? You said in your first post that some decisions of the Supreme Court caused you distress. The Supreme Court is part of the government, and you disapprove of their decisions, and you express that disapproval by flying the flag upside down. I didn’t invent that.
If anyone is adding concepts and expectations to the Flag Code, it is you and others who think that mental and emotional distress is the same as physical distress. I apparently cannot explain this in any terms that you are able to understand.
Fly your flag as you please. I’ll continue to hold my opinions on the matter. I hope that your “dire distress” over the Supreme Court is the worst misfortune that you suffer, and that you never have to learn what dire distress really is.
