If you’re going to proofread anything at all, the headline is a good place to start.
What, no toilet paper?
Olympics are an over hyped croc
These athletes compete against each other all the time
And too many use PEDS
What a waste watching them which I haven’t for years
Or this one?
Lots of folks around here think these guys are bona fide American heros. I'm not one of them, and if it were up to me, they'd both be kicked in the nuts so hard they'd be pissing blood for a month.
Prepare for some good natured joshing. I got a lot for posting about “hompsexuality” one time.
Your old man was right to chastise you, but very wrong to burn the flag. That flag has stood up to more abuse over the years than an accidental brush with the ground by a 7 year old. So why take it out on the flag? It is one thing to burn a flag that can no longer be flown, but it is obscene to burn a clean flag with many years of use left in it.
“Nike T-shirt they wore bearing the phrase “GREATNESS HAS BEEN FOUND”.”
The author honestly didn’t need to pass-on what the shirt said. He could have just wrote “Nike T-shirt” and my brain would have immediately assumed the slogan was snarky, purile and stupid.
Because thats the Nike pony’s one trick.
From one typo you might get 600 replies.
You are just going to just grin and suffer through it.
That is a very touching story about serious patriotism...and a lesson to you a young boy, however, I have to say I believe such traditions as burning a flag if it accidently touches the ground verges on superstition.
The U.S. Flag Code (which I just looked up and read) makes no penalty or requirement of burning a flag which accidently touches the ground (a very good thing, as I’m sure in battle, MANY a flag has touched the ground, only to be picked up again...), even though of course, the flag is required NEVER to touch the ground or whatever is below it.
It does say:
“Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.” (USCode 18, I, 33, Sec. 700 a1)
An accidental touching on the ground does not “maintains on the floor or ground.”
I recall in boy scouts discussing that if a flag accidently brushed the ground...kissing it was an alternative to burning it (but again, that sounds like superstition to me too).
I am however quite disgusted at celebrity attempts to wear the flag. You wouldn’t do that with a priests robes...so why is a flag treated so flippantly?
