Logic: a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity between the things in other respects.

Oh.

Like the saying, your face looks like ***, or your breath smells like ****. I get it. Thanks. I am not being personal here. Just giving some analogies that are commonly used.

I fought for it, I wear it on my uniform, I will proudly wear it wherever else I choose.

I suppose your are correct, but even Mayberry had two...

haha. Well I wasn't.

I just asked the question if you were breaking the flag code. I didn't point out anyone specifically.
Just that most here seem to be really hard line patriotic. So why wouldn't you follow the code?

FU *****, no not being personal, sure you're not, just being an *******, I get it. F off!
I am not admiting to being personal or an *******, but what was your intention by posting a deffinition? Maybe my "analogy" of what the guy said was religiously biased. See opinions are like ********, everybody has one.

So.

Nice, comeback. NOT!~

Make up your mind. Either go off on me with conviction, and stand by it. Or don't say anything. You are flip-flopping, and it shows weakness.

I believe "there is" is correct...

Did you read it? It isn't against the law to wear clothes,towels, chairs or jewelry that have the U.S flag. Most of the code is for proper displaying, handling, and disposing of the U.S. flag.

"While wearing the colors may be in poor taste and offensive to many, it is
important to remember that the Flag Code is intended as a guide to be followed on
a purely voluntary basis to insure proper respect for the flag. It is, at least,
questionable whether statutes placing civil or criminal penalties on the wearing of
clothing bearing or resembling a flag could be constitutionally enforced in light of
Supreme Court decisions in the area of flag desecration.51"

I read it. I said, are you breaking the flag code, or in violation of the flag code. Nowhere in that sentence do I say, "Are you breaking the law."
