American Flag At Half Mast

[Sojourner]

I've noticed for the last couple of days that the American flag flying over the Consulate in Chiang Mai is at half mast. Does anyone have any idea why?

[Darknight]

Oh well we found another brainwashed American....

Maybe the reason you get attacked a lot because it's so EASY to get you stirred

You're so blinded by your patriotic upbringing that's it's funny all over the rest of the world. (except in muslim countries maybe , you just make them angry)

I wouldn't care less about what you say about the country i was born into. I can have a perspective

[IamMaiC]

Where were you born?? So i'm brain washed because i love my country don't you love yours??

[Darknight]

it's not important the imaginary line between my country and the next, even the language borders are not important, i learned to speak the four languages around me.

I'm not this definition of a person defining me to be opposite then that...

Get a perspective, step out the stupid proud BS...

As a American /Thai you actually should realise that you are both or neither. If you can realise that you can also realise that other people are not different. They just have different conditioning.

Just Like you seem to exhibit a American patriotic Conditioning

Where were you born??    So i'm brain washed because i love my country  don't you love yours??

Yes. Unreflected nationalism is brainwashing. Pure and simple.

I love some people I know in my country. I love some places in it, simply because they are beautiful or because they evoke memories inside of me. I do not love them a lot more because they happen to be situated within the fictitious borders of the Kingdom of Sweden. I love Thailand too.

Nationalism has an inherent element of exclusion in it, which is really ugly. It says that you and your mates are much better than everyone else just because some warlord in the past happened to draw some lines on a piece of paper.

If you cannot accept criticism of yourself or your country even when it is justified; where I come from, that is a sign of immaturity. You are not your country. Your parents are not you, and you have nothing at all to do with Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin. Just as little as you have to do with Mahatma Gandhi or U Thant.

My country and its representatives commit mistakes, as committing mistakes is human. When they do, I acknowledge it and do not think of it as a personal attack on my ego.

[PvtDick]

Good post, meadish. Here's one American who agrees with you 100%.

[Ajarn]

Aren't all of these flames really about some fragile egos?

[Ricardo]

Right-On , Meadish ! You tell 'em.

All countries have their bad points , most also have something to teach the rest of us , and I'd be the first to say that 'Little Englanders' give my own country-of-birth a bad name.

But you've got to be open to criticism - in order to learn from it.

A sense of humour (however twisted) also helps, IMHO

Who is fighting on their own... I think you should take your head out of your ass and think about the other nations fighting the war on terror - supporting the USA.

Even yesterday the UK goverment announced it will probably be sending more troops to Iraq...

As usual the USA thinks it's doing everything itself, forgetting who helps
