Thread: Cajun and PacNWVike - change of nationality?

Ok now I'm very tolerant of my european neighbours, as long as they stay on THAT side of the English Channel where they belong. However I now see that we have two of the PP.O regulars, whom I considered to be true nephews of Uncle Sam now displaying non-US flags under their names?

If its not bad enough that Cajun is Cajun
;D but he is now displaying the french ( note the small f ) flag under his name
Does this mean that he will be soon departing for Paris where he can sit in meetings all day, avoiding any work and baths/showers and generally do bugger all?

As for PacNWVike, he has obviously been partaking of too much imported german lager and sauerkraut, but at least he didn't pick the
:P fr***h flag !

Gentlemen, explain yourselves please !

My heritage is mostly French...and so to celebrate it, I am displaying the French (note the CAPITAL F) flag, you limey bastard!

Nothing wrong with showing some ethnic pride...it doesn't mean that I don't love my country!
Heck, I have many Jewish friends who proudly display the Isreali flag...and I see nothing wrong with that either.

Uh...excuse me!
The FRENCH were our FIRST allies when we were still English colonies!
Also, who do you think provided the ships to form the naval blockade of the South when our country was torn by civil war...that's right, the FRENCH!

Methinks that the English are just jealous of how the French have a reputation as lovers...while the English are viewed as Victorian prudes!!!

Cajun I am half french and my name comes from my French heritage, my ancestors came here in the mid 17th century and if they could see what France has become in the last 200 years they would puke!

I would not fly their flag, but I would wipe my behind with it!

My heritage is homosapien. ;D

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
[size=12pt]God bless the USA.[/size]

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

I live in ND, but I put the Ole and Lena flag on just to be different.
All of my family is Norwegian and this time of year they all have lutefisf and meatballs coming out of their ears.
