It's actually a pretty neat ceremony if you get the chance to see one.

I've seen one, once. It was beautiful. This flag had been flying for over ten years, and the stripes were almost totally separated.from each other. It was a magnificent flag, and it was pleasant to see it given the respect it deserved.

This isn't the same thing though. Honestly, I do care, but I also really don't. I've lost all faith in that area as a whole. There's no hope for people who place more significance on practicing their religion than being civilized people. Everything is a affront to them, and no grudge is ever forgotten. It's madness.

Of course they are, but doesn't it seem like it's all coming out of the woodwork at the same sort of time? I think a little discretion would a long ways right now, when a good part of the world isn't very happy with us.

True... but, that's the way its ALWAYS been.

In the article, the practicing muslim said maybe they should put up a counter ad... I'd say... have at it bro!

Yeah, definitely! I guess I just didn't really notice it until it was over my head, like a lot of things.
