I agree. A promise to his son is a promise and where I come from, if a man’s word is no good the he is no good.

No.

Well, then, try to find something you understand to flap your gums about.

Why not send him a brand new flag?

Wouldn’t that be the neighbourly thing to do?

Disagreement does not equal a lack of understanding.

Kindly "flap you gums" at someone else.

If you can not be civil, I don't care what you think.
