flag changing

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 ...[text shortened]... ff their spineless backs.

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

What about people who state specifically where they're from on their "location". Take me for example; I am now flying a Canadian flag, but I state that I'm from Detroit, Michigan. I used to clarify that by saying in my profile that I was actually from Ann Arbor, Michigan, until I changed it. But anyone could clearly see that my location report supercedes my flag icon.

For me it is a form of political protest.

I'm sure Bush will be impressed by this act of resistance and will stand in awe with open mouth for at least this holiday season ........

The ones on this site using the old USSR flag as an avatar should make the acquaintance of the reactionary imperialist red morons in Russia who still parade that flag on certain occasions.

Why? Maybe they are just nostalgic. The USSR won a great war against Hitler.

Actually, I want the black and red anarchist flag. The Soviet flag should be stricken from the roster.

Sure, ask the people in Eastern Germany, Poland, Thechya, Slowakya, White Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Rumania ...... they will tell you how great that was.

Since our governor is Canadian, I suppose all of us in Michigan will soon be flying Canadian flags. -Del

Disagree, without the old USSR, WWII would have dragged on. Don't strike flags.

I'm not saying it was great, just don't try to change history.

Damn the Soviet flag's here at RHP; I gotta get it! BTW, Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania invaded the USSR, not the other way around. 25 million Soviets died; now do you think they were going to allow anti-Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe after that? The US had 3,000 people die on September 11 and we want to make every country in the world into a pro-Western government ("for us or against us&quot😉, do you really think that Joe Stalin was gonna say "Whatever you guys want is fine with me?"

No1: " .... Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania invaded the USSR, not the other way around."

Why do you think I started my list mentioning "EASTERN Germany" and not "Germany" ?
