Friends on Facebook and imposing the French Flag in "solidarity".
No worse than the people of Belgium hoisting photos of waffles........or the Syrians in Brussels chanting “Death to Sprouts”.........
Nobody is imposing it. It’s completely voluntary.
Symbolism is fine from those who are not in positions of power, who want to express their sympathy, their solidarity, whatever. However, I want to see the Western “leaders” actually DO something. Like bomb the living hell out of every last known or suspected ISIS support area. Every. Last. One. And I don’t really give a fig about collateral damage. Enough is quite enough.
Facebook?
As long as we don’t hear the term “Paris Strong.”
Oh my goodness...how damned vacuous...sure, no one is “imposing” it...
Total Feel Good bull crap....
Great reply to a silly peeve.
Well, it wasn't a wussie flag when Napoleon Bonaparte was flying it, nor when French soldiers were slugging it out with the Germans in World War I.
I don’’t even want a Facebook account!
I would have warmed Lafayette’s heart.
“Call you God damn Congressman/woman and remind them of what their constitutional responsibilities are... Get involved and tell anyone who will listen that this is War and we will not survive it if we let the libtard, wusses prevail..”
Technically, my congressgremlins are still Boxer and Feinstein. You know as well as I do that calling those idiots will do nothing. Calling them certainly won’t fix the French problem. I fail to see the correlation between my posting a French flag to support dead French people and the problems we have here. I intend to do my duty for the first time that I am able to do so next year and vote for conservatives. If I must march on Washington to make a change or if I must give my life for my country, I will do so. Posting a French flag will not prevent me from doing my duty to my country.
Oh come on!
Ok, a flag means something but geeze, in this circumstance, it smacks of symbolism not constructive progress.
It’s meaningless and you know it...
Dramatic video shows clubbers fleeing Bataclan theatre and clinging to windows amid gun attack
Hey! If it pisses off the MizZoo “college” crybabies and makes them wet their “safety zone”, I’m all for it.
I feel complete compassion for the French and what has happened...
So I say to them, ARM your citizens, CLOSE your borders, question all who are Muslm and stand your ground. Don’t buy into PC bull shit and do everything to keep your people safe...dear God, don’t you get that this is beyond symbolism and needs action, commitment and conviction?
Sheep.
Lord, have mercy.
I see your point but even if I had Boxer and Feinstein, I’d call and bitch...better than draping a French Flag over my FB picture...
Totally meaningless my FRiend.
