I feel rather uncomfortable about people changing flags. Do others consider it cheating or just a bit of fun.

I'm against it

Cheating? What does it matter what flag you choose to use? I switched to the Canadian flag out of utter disgust at the direction my country is taking under Ayatollah Bush. For me it is a form of political protest.

I'll bechanging flag in a few weeks when I change country. I don't think it says says anywhere whether it's supposed to be your contry of origin or country of residence.

Why don't you go a step farther in your protest and move there. I'll help you pack and pay the toll to cross the Ambassador Bridge.

Rob, he does drive a truck so I'm guessing his offer is sincere. The thought of you two in a truck together...........almost as good as Al Sharpton and Ann Coulter. 🙂

You'd like that, wouldn't you? So that everyone will
be the same: conservative and closed-minded.

For all our disagreements, I'm glad rwingett stays
in an effort to cancel out your vote.

I feel rather uncomfortable about people patriotically waving flags. Do others consider it a bonding experience or just a bit of fun.

Canada is cold and gloomy. Besides, I like the U.S. And someone needs to help keep the mindlessly patriotic people in check. Patriotism shouldn't be blind.

Not that you were talking to me.

So why use any flag, why not be flagless?

Don't forget about the 'mindlessly' liberal, atheistic, and unpatriotic bunch...two sides to every issue...😉

Recently I've been changing my flag to include my countries of (genetic) origin, beginning with Ireland and now on Germany. Before, I had Canada because I am sometimes taken for Canadian at uni, and Brunei because that flag is badass.

I definitely think it's cheating. I can't tell you how many times I've been foiled by the taboo "look-at-my-flag-it's-not-where-i'm-from" ruse. I fall for it nearly everytime. One minute, I'm noticing my opponent's flag isn't kosher. The next minute, he's got me in a hopeless position with mate looming on the horizon. I think Russ should drag these cheaters through the forum so that I can tear a strip right off their spineless backs.

I'm glad someone had the cajones to bring this subject up. Kudos.
