"We are both really ticked off. I know several of our grandchildren are sports enthusiasts and are at parties watching this game. Their parents gaurd what they watch on tv. There was NO chance they could change the channel.

This is an outrage.

Are we alone in feeling this way?

As to Kid Rock, his flag incident was done out of ignorance. He is a HUGE supporter of the troops. I can forgive that. At least he tried to support them! So I'll let him know through his agent. God love him for supporting our troops the way he does. "

You are upset because of an accident with Janet...but a THOUGHT OUT plan of cutting up the American Flag doesn't bother you??????????

I am at a loss for words...

An accident?

You have to be kidding me?

Kid Rock may not know Flag etiquette, so I can TEACH him that. He can be TOLD that. But MOST people KNOW you don't EXPOSE YOURSELF TO KIDS!!

Kid Rock goes into dangerous places to entertain our troops, with the CHANCE he himself could be harmed. I don't personally like his music. Matter of fact, I wouldn't listen to it, or buy it. I think he thought he was HONORING our troops! OR did YOU even know his record as far as the USO?

A lot of our young troops DO like his music and they do buy it. So if it brings them joy to listen to it, and to buy it, and if the guy put the flag on his head NOT KNOWING it broke flag etiquette, then yeah, I can forgive that. Because he DOES care about our troops! But I want him to know it is WRONG. I'm an advocate against treating the flag disrespectfully. But I also know there are people that don't know all the flag rules. Some only think it is wrong to BURN it.

But to EXPOSE YOURSELF TO KIDS is quite another thing. And I think EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS CONSIDERED INDECENT TO DO SO!

UNDERSTAND?
