This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm curious if anyone else has the same kind of flag etiquette that the US does

Like if there's any other countries where burning is the only acceptable method of disposal?

I don't know if it's in the law, but it's common knowledge in Italy that you shouldn't throw the national flag in the trash.

US flag code isn’t law either, you won’t go to jail for mistreating the flag, you just won’t be liked.

Yeah I'm sure there are some obscure guidelines like this in most countries it's just we don't give a fuck.

I’d wager the majority of Americans don’t really care, we’re not all flag waving, gun toting, psychos
