Wearing your flag

This is maybe the one thing people should do with pride, no matter how much they hate their government…

Let me just open up with a short story from yesterday:

I was on the bus and this lady was standing right in front of me with a hideous jacket, I guess it was supposed to resemble some wool or something. on the back of the jacket there was the Tibetan flag, with the company’s own logo on the flag! How lazy are you when you decide to buy a jacket with a flag stitched on the back to show support to a country? This made me so mad I went off the bus one stop too early.

Now, If you ever are going to wear your country’s flag, Wear it with pride! That means, not as a thong, bra, t-shirt, pants or anything else, I don’t mean that you can’t wear a flag as a small badge, but what i mean is as a piece of clothing made out of fabric resembling the flag like this.

In my opinion wearing a flag(not a badge etc. of course) is worse than burning or dragging a flag along the ground(which in most places is considered the worst thing you can do to a flag), I think it’s even worse when you do it to other countries’ flags, like the lady on the bus, as you have no ties to that country, except maybe a political statement, but then you don’t wear that country’s flag, you show your support in a far better way, meet up at their embassy and show your support there.

oh and btw, the company who made the jacket is Bik Bok.

Comment your thoughts about this.

    India is having strict laws when it comes to the use of flag. One cant use it as bra or shirt here.

  1. that is a good law! :)
    I think every country should have such a law.

  2. It seems clear to me that the woman on the bus was anti-Tibet and therefore decided to wear the flag to disgrace it. Do you agree?

  3. That’s the one thing I don’t lose my pride in, our countries flag :)
