Flag Kilts

[GTRMAN]

A flag is just a symbol. No more, no less. A flag is not a country. It is not a person.

That being said, I don't care what anyone does with any flag at any time. Make a kilt out of it if you like. Makes no difference to me..

This is why I have refused to pledge allegiance to any flag since I was about 10 years old. It just seems absurd to me to pledge allegiance to a symbol that represents something that can change over time as the flag only symbolizes what that nation represents. What happens if a nation falls under unethical, immoral or downright evil leadership? Are you still going to pledge allegiance to a flag which now represents that?

I can actually see the side of those who argue that it's disrespectful to sit on a flag. I just see it as being no different that sitting on the family heritage of Stewarts, McDonalds or any other tartan. But that's just me, I guess.

I show my respect for Ireland by proudly wearing a tri-color kilt. The thing has drawn nothing but raves from heraldry, political and casual respondants.

I wear it as a show of pride, not a symbol of disrespect... and all know that.
