There's one thing for sure: this would not have happened in Texas.
Apparently there was an ROTC student who got suspended for removing a Mexican flag which was flying above the American flag, which is a violation of protocol. I heard that on the radio but couldn't find the story to link to.

Suspended because he didn't just burn the flag? :thumbsup:

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Our politicians are quite scared of the hispanic vote actually.

Why'd the kid remove it instead of put them in their proper order?

If I understand the statistics I've seen, registered Hispanic voters make up about 20% of the total voting population (despite having less than half the eligible voters being registered to vote) in Texas.

I wonder whats the percentage of registered hispanic voters. Less than 5%? 1%? It would have been hysterical if this was happening in Arizona and those 200 protesting kids were raided for illegal immigration. :)

 

In 2005, Texas joined California, New Mexico, and Hawaii as states where minority populations collectively outnumber whites, according to the US Census Bureau. In Texas and California, the second-largest group behind whites, and the fastest-growing population, is Hispanics. Nationwide, Hispanics number about 45.5 million, or 15 percent of the population. In Texas, Latinos make up about 36 percent of the population and about 20 percent of participating voters this year.

*sigh* yeah, yeah the germans and their gold had no part in it whatsoever.
The Germans and their gold aided Lenin in the commission of his goal, since the two had goals which happened to line up in 1917.

 

They did not make him believe in national self-determination.

Lol, you got more Hispanics living in there than Spain. I don't know how you can endure that. I know I couldn't.

I just threw up a little.

What, I live in a country with ~40 million hispanics, of which I'm a part of. I couldn't get out of here soon enough.

 

Just wipe off that puke and lighten up, will you.

There is no proper order. You cannot fly one national flag above the other, it's an insult. You either have to have 2 flagpoles, or 1 flag.

 

Here's an interesting article I just saw which has some thoughts about immigration and the situation in the US: http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20100511/cm_csm/300687

So its okay for a communist revolutionary to be on german imperial payroll?

 

Of course not because he didn't belive in it. He knew the simple fact: the national identity is stronger than identification with the proletariat. He'd never control the vast territory of the peasant and religious Russian empire. To resolve that problem and balance the power of ethnic russians he'd give everyone he could their state, so as to keep the majority in check.

Perhaps he was agreeing with you for being around so many Hispanics? :ermm:

If people consider that an insult, they're being just as unreasonable IMO.

More reasonable than being insulted by people wearing American flags on cinco de mayo.

No, everyone is being stupid. I'd consider it just the same to be perfectly frank.

 

It's just a flag. I'm reminded of an Eddie Izzard skit.

"More reasonable" is comparative for a reason. If I meant to speak in absolutes, I would.
