we fly flags at half-mast way too readily in this country...I've never heard of this person in my life

4/29/2010 4:27:26 PM

^ My guess is that's because you haven't had need of the National Council of Negro Women in the last 40 years

4/29/2010 4:30:51 PM

nor have most other Americans

4/29/2010 4:32:19 PM

jimmy v was only half a coach so it would be appropriate

because Sioban got voted off idol last nite

4/29/2010 5:01:30 PM

no offense but since when do we fly half-mast for civil activisits?

i think we are starting to overdo it, reminds me of when people gtot pissed because they left farrah fawcett out of the oscar dedication or some shit and the dude that made the tributes was like "sorry she aint no fuckin screenactor she aint make the list"

or whatever it was, i was like "right on bro"

half mast is for a select few, i shudder to think that we are gonna fly half mast when those bitches sharpton and jesse jackson die

not such a bad thing tho, theyll be flyin low enough for me to burn

Out.

4/29/2010 5:04:07 PM

its cool guise, we have a black president

4/29/2010 5:07:52 PM

they did for Rosa Parks as well

and W ordered that one

well rosa parks was an icon

whether i think it should have been half masted for her, no

but i dont even know who Dorothy "flag should be at full" Height is

[Edited on April 29, 2010 at 5:10 PM. Reason : f]

4/29/2010 5:08:52 PM

yeah, this person =/= Rosa Parks

and I don't necessarily think we shoulda flown it for her, either

"half mast is for a select few"

when you do it for a lot of people, it cheapens the value of it

if terrorists nuked San Francisco, how would we express our mourning? We'd fly our flags at half-mast

and it wouldn't mean nearly as much in that situation (when it would obviously be warranted) because we do it so freely
