    (Sighs) If you don't know how many tech firms artificially book sale in countries that they are not really selling the goods from (in order to avoid paying taxes) then you really need to read up. "Ah, you believe "taxes are theft" but actually" Nice fail at putting words I never said

    Sorry if it offends but many of us are actually very proud of our country, its heritage, and as such don't see reason to not celebrate it which can mean having the flag visible.

    You did highlight the major difference though, we don't have to do it but we do so out of our own free will. Because of that we may seem excessive but there should never be anything wrong with such pride in one's country.

    > The almost comical excess of flags is a fairly recent phenomenon. It seems more the politics of 'with us or against us'. Politicians seek to compete with each other to show who can be more patriotic. So we have the flags nailed to anything that isn't moving and the quasi-mandatory lapel badge flags. This trickles down to society as a whole. If one person has a flag on their house then two or three then most - those who are left are placed under a social pressure that their failure to do the same is a lack of patriotism. There is nothing wrong with pride about your country - but pride can be both personal and private - ostentatious displays can be more about demonstrating your patriotism to others. As to other countries; really, one might assume from some posts that no one else has had a revolution or fought for independence. The majority of the world has at some point fought for independence, under a flag, from some country or other and done so in comparatively recent times.
