Nah. The adventure you'll have trying to pass that flag through your system will be enough punishment.

[QUOTE="StopThePresses"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] I agree. I think we should burn their flag now. Snipes_2

I'm pretty sure they aren't the only people in their country.

If someone isn't offended by their flag being burnt, then there's no use trying to explain it to them. It is a visceral reaction that I have when I see something like that, akin to a pit in my stomach because of the disrespect that it shows. I don't care if it's soccer fans or idiotic anarchist protestors here at home, it's upsetting. Sure, some people see a piece of cloth, but I see a lot more than that.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="StopThePresses"] You do that. Just don't ever gripe about flag burning after you do.StopThePresses

I'm pretty sure they aren't the only people in their country.

Their mad that we won the American Revolution.

The hilarious thing is if people knew anything about these situations they would know that they have been expressing their case in an intelligent way, it's only this type of display that gets attention though...

Again see Glazers - they single handedly put the richest club in the world in debt.

[QUOTE="Oleg_Huzwog"]

[QUOTE="taj7575"]Soccer fans, especially British soccer fans are pretty stupid sometimes. You can't use them as an example for all British people though.

Not all, just half. In my American mind, I picture half of England is comprised of hooligans, and the other half behaves exactly like something out of a Jane Austen novel.

I had a friend who lived in London for a few years and came back, and no lie, but he said almost the same damn thing as you did :lol:

If it were self-evident, why did you feel the need to comment to me then?:roll:

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]People actually fly UK flags by me here in the US. I see tons of homes that have the US flag on one side of the garage and the UK on the other. Seems kinda odd, but hey it's better than burning one. :P

Apple pie isn't Americantoast_burner

Really? This group of myopic peasants took it upon themselves to desecrate the American flag – the Stars and Stripes which represents 300 million people – on the basis of two men's actions (or in some cases, inaction)?

Maybe if Americans would stop ruining English clubs they wouldn't do that. Glazers I'm looking at you...

We go way back, America and the UK. We've fought wars against each other and won ones side by side, and I'm proud to call some of my best friends Englishmen. To those noble English folks who can understand what it would feel like to watch a bunch of Yanks burning the flag of St. George in a public melee, I look forward to a spirited match on Saturday and may the best team on the day win.

But for those 500 or so Liverpool supporters (and most likely fans of the Three Lions) who simply acted before they really thought about what their actions meant to an entire nation, you've embarrassed your country, your club and your Queen.

Yeah, I said it.

What the author in the link said pretty much covers it.

And I agree with Pirate, it's disgusting.

The Queen and Parliament should be saying something about this...we are their best ally, saved their butts in two World Wars.:?

1.) The queen is A-political and not allowed to make statements bout other nations. E.g the USA sent her a birthday card on the wrong date last week, but she wasn't allowed to comment about it as she cannot openly release a statement about another nation.

2.) Why should parliment apologize? they didn't burn the flag, the people thatburnt the flags actions arn't held accountble to MP's.

3.) You didn't save are butts in the War's we ad a far larger standing army and Navy than the USA.

4.) Your an ally thats dragged us into wars no-one in this country supports and most of the population want us to pull out. (Even bowing to public pressure and withdrawing from Iraq)

5.) It's a flag it only has as much power as an individual holds to it. Which I know in America is quite alot due to cultural diffrences e.g Pledge of alegance wheras the British public wouldn't really care if someone burnt a Uk flag as we hold less revrence for a flag.

I mean Ireland doesn't complain (To much)even tho theres basically a public holiday in Northern Irelandwhere people celebrate not being Irish and burn Irish flags.
