Vet cuts down Mexican Flag
 

No video here at work, and the story link gives a "Not Available".

Summary?

Basically some Hispanic bar was flying a Mexican flag over the American flag on Flag Day (which is apparently illegal) and this vet pulled the flags down and cut the Mexican one off and took the American flag back and said they had to fight for it since he had to risk his life for his country and flag.

That's a bit extreme, however I can understand the sentiment.

Yeah. The reporter dude kept asking the Mexicans standing outside how they felt and they just ignored him and went back inside, carrying the Mex flag.

They probably didn't speak engrish.

Eh, it wasn't really extreme.

If you let this shit fly, though, what's next?

Strip everyone of their identity/nationality IMO. Until we're all one race, or one nation, or what have you, there will never be anything close to peace on earth. It would be nice if we came up with a way to have everyone live inside identical robots, so there's no such thing as race or nationality or difference of any sort.

Preach the ways of Islam!

I don't think it'd necessairily be a good or bad thing once we're all the same race, because as long as we can still coexist on the same planet.. I embrace being different, and others being different, it's called culture, it's a GOOD thing.

Differences cause conflict.

Even if we were all the same, there would still of course be some sort of conflict. However, it would be nothing compared to how it is now.

I'm only half serious anyway. I've joked that that's how I would do things if I ran the world.

This should be a debate in 'Opinion and Debate' .... I'm sure we've argued about it before, wouldn't mind doing so again

I'm fairly certain I've never debated the topic before. I'm pretty sure it hasn't even been brought up here before. Could have been though.

I dunno, go start it if you want, I'll put my 2 cents in.

Anything that promotes conflict is rarely a good thing, I would rather he have reported it to the authorities than him freaking out and disrespecting their flag after they (possibly unknowingly) disrespected ours.

There are things worth fighting for, immigrants commiting a minor symbolic crime certainly isn't one of them.

I think they knew what they were doing, just didn't care.

Yea, it was around here. I think the veteran makes a very good point...I guess I am slightly racial when it comes to DUMB mexicans.

In my experience, I've noticed most young women hate Mexicans...

The stereotype that Mexicans prey on young women because, you know, all Mexicans are gangbangers. *rolls eyes*

I know they oogle at cute girls a lot x_X. Lol, makes a lot of chicks uncomfortable when 5 guys are staring at them in a group and not even flinching =P.

White guys oogle at cute girls a lot.
Black guys oogle at cute girls a lot.
Asian guys oogle at cute girls a lot.

Stereotypes are ignorance. Everybody does everything, nobody does nothing.

Mexicans just tend to be in a group ALL THE TIME and they wistle and bark like they have a place to. White guys and black guys don't bark at girls...they at least have some words to say if they are interested. ugh. And when mexicans do come at me they don't fucking talk english so they need to go back to mexico and bark there.

Edit- AND asian, sorry left that one out.
