BIG FLAG (a plea for etiquette)

I expect a lot of dislikes on this one, especially from folks who don't listen until the end, but maybe the comment section will surprise me. Is my part of the USA the only place where so many enormous flags are blotting out the sky? It doesn't bother me so long as the flag is well cared for, and if the purpose of the display is to honor our country, not to elevate the flyer of the flag. Here's a helpful resource:

I have a tasteful 4x6 US flag outside my house. Every 2 years it becomes faded and I replace it (and bring it to the transfer station where they have a box for US flags which they are respectfully disposed of by the VFW.) I remember after 9/11 (anniversary tomorrow) everyone had an American flag outside there homes. Now-a-days it seems like the US Flag is political statement which it shouldn't be and isn't in my case (I have heard people say they are afraid to fly the flag since it indicates you are for a certain candidate or political group....I even heard that statement stated on the radio too.)

Having a proper disposal option is such a great idea! Man, my schedule has been so crazy I didn't even realize tomorrow is 9/11. I hope people don't think that's why I posted this one tonight.

I would tend to agree. The ironic thing about all these giant flags is that most of them aren't even made in the USA. I have one normal size flag on the front of my home. It is illuminate at nighttime. (Which is the law) A good chat, Matt.

Agree 💯

Like, riding a loud bike around town? Don't get me wrong, I ride, and my car is straight piped. But a bit of a double standard there.

[@MATTTHEGREETER]

Not a loud pipe episode man. Just the flag. Flag etiquette. I've talked loud pipes in earlier episodes. I live just outside of Boston, MA. My pipes are negligible among the cement mixers, pavers, sirens, and everything else throwing sonic pollution. I don't rev-bomb around dogs or kids. Just talking about the flag today. What's your car btw? My friend has a Corvette from the 60s that is straight piped. It sounds absolutely killer, but it's tough on long drives! If I'm ever in a position to pick up a second bike I want it to be a quiet option, for night rides, and when I have early morning shifts. I'm up at 5 usually. No one needs to hear Vance and Hines at that hour haha. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Fly anytime you want to, but take care of it .

I'm all for massive amounts of freedom, but yeah.. if you have an agenda behind all that, that is an issue.

Could be both. It was odd a few years ago when saying America first while living in America was looked down on. Wierd... 2nd part - yes, flags should be retired when worn.
