No I wouldn't, but I wouldn't put US flags on my car, either. Both ideas are are pretty tacky.

As are cartoon drawings of your family, memorials to dead relatives, fish symbols and things boasting about your kid being super student of the week.

Like Bush/Cheney didn't relax oil regulations either right??

The agency, the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service, says it decided the remote device wasn't needed because rigs had other back-up plans to cut off a well".

It's interesting that regulations are tighter in Alaska, Brazil, and the North Sea. Bit of a failure all round, really.

Yes I would, but I don't have any. I have a GB bumper sticker, and will wear my England shirt with pride for the 6 weeks. Okay, the next 5 weeks. All right, at least until the end of the second round.

Aw heck, I'm just using this as an excuse to go to sports bars anyway, so I'll keep wearing it whether we're in it or not.

I may even wash it.

Just like the sphincters in those areas.

Am I right, ladies? Am I right?

My new neighbours said they will fly their Rebel flag on the 4th of July (why then I'm not sure), my son told them I will put out my flag too. When told of this another friend laughed and said "you can both celebrate getting your arses kicked."

Without starting a whole new thread on the subject...I always say we glady gave the colonists the country back, and look what they did with it..

Now we are stealthily re-colonizing...hehe

As for the Rebel flag..thats another thorny topic all by itself..

I take it that other friend is NOT a native Virginian. They can be fierce!!
