#142Originally posted by pavyracerIt makes more sense to wear american flags when you are overseas to show your pride. You don't see Italian kids in Italy wearing t-shirts with the Italian flag stamped on them. It's tacky.
Every country I have been to has kids wearing their national flag. On Futbol jerseys etc.
It is not "tacky" to rock a shirt with your flag on it. I do it about once a week.
I am wearing this shirt as I type.

#147Originally posted by DwightShrutePerhaps it is. Is it their job to decide what is tacky or not?
what if a kid wore any of these?:
Tacky and insane to be rooting for the Raiders.
Tacky unless you are a metrosexual.
Not tacky. I wear my Chipper Jones jersey when I go to europe on vacation.
they might also be tacky.
I agree their has to be some rules (common sense).
I think that we could agree that ....
Not tacky. I have a t-shirt I bought in UK saying FCUK on it which I though was cool!
is inappropriate?Comment -

#148Look at the pic of the kids, Their threads are pretty legit.
Don't think any of those shirts look like $5
I think souvenir tees are tacky to start with. I have some buddies that are street vendors in DC, and they laugh and laugh at how much they make on tourists. Lets differentiate though, a tacky souvenir tee is tacky because it is cheap and trite. To sport the American Flag itself is not a tacky gesture.
I can high five emoticon to that my friend.Comment -

#150How can you tell the American tourists on the beach in Europe? They wear an XXL t-shirt with the US flag on it.
How can you tell the Brazilian tourists on the beach in Europe? They wear nothing on top.Comment -

#152It's up to the parents/taxpayers in the end to set the school board and the specific school straight on what they want to see in this case. This isn't just a case of some kid wearing the likeness of the flag -- which I can remember was a big deal back in the late 60s when I was in public schools. Were any kids sent on on May 4th for wearing similar clothing?Comment -

#155wearing an American flag overseas might get you killed or kidnapped, now wearing it here will get you expelled. Maybe we should just do away with the flag since its so unpopular at home & abroad. Lets propose that before congress on Veterans dayComment -

#156Bottom line is if you live in America and take advantage of services paid for by Americans you should show respect towards AMERICA. If you dislike this country so much stop mooching and get the fu(K out. Have some balls and stand up and leave if you don't like this country.Comment -
