Irony at its Max.

[sonic-fast-fingers]

At my High school, on all of the teacher's doors there is an American Flag on it for the lost ones of 9/11. It is taped on with scotch tape. Well actually it is not on the door, it is taped onto where it says the room number. This is great! Teachers showing their empathy for the lost ones of 9/11. I don't think many have a problem with this at all. Here is where my problem comes into play. Keep in mind that these little flags are so nice with the actual flag part being made of thin plastic closely resembling the material that is on a Fruit Rollup, maybe the flag material is one sheet thicker. Now the neck of the flag is like a toothpick. And on this toothpick neck it says in black "Made in China."

A flag that is supposed to represent your empathy for the lost ones of 9/11 has been made and bought from china. We are paying China to make our flags for 9/11. If you do not see the irony in this than I do not know what to tell you. Not only is it ironic. it is embarrassing, it is a slap in the face of Americans. Now believe me I know that America is not built on top of a pile of truths, it is built on a pile of lies and pillaging. And when I say that I support mourning for the lost ones of 9/11 I mean the lost ones and the lost ones only.

EDIT: Please believe what the media tells you about 9/11 they would never lie to you!

If you didn't want to read this long post, then here is a shortened version: flags to show empathy for those lost on 9/11 were made in China and purchased from them which is ironic and insulting.

What is your thought on the subject?

Re: Irony at its Max.

Everything is made in China.

If you want American flags made in America, expect to pay 500% more.

Also, you're a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Kinda weird to think America is evil enough to kill its own citizens, but care that we use cheap labor to make stupid little things.

Re: Irony at its Max.

Wow where a flag is made isn't relevant at all.

If the flag was made in the Middle East - then maybe, but China wasn't responsible for 9/11, meaning just because we buy the flags from them isn't a slap in the face to anyone.

Everything is not made in China. What kind of ignorant post is that?

Yeah maybe you will have to pay more money for it to be made here in America, but your feelings for ones lost shouldn't be based off of how much money you have to spend. If my mom dies I'm not going to base what kind of flowers I get off of how much it costs.

And this thread is not to debate whether or not 9/11 was a conspiracy.

Re: Irony at its Max.

He was clearly exaggerating. That doesn't mean that a great amount of products you buy aren't made in china. Also, you cant make a statement that 9/11 wasn't terrorists and then say its not a debate. That is asking for trouble.

Re: Irony at its Max.

The flag coming from the middle east is ironic.
The flag being made in China is business. I think you're making to much of a deal.

Fine, I'll take that part out. But you guys aren't seeing why in this situation it is extremely weird to buy flags from China. Flags specifically for 9/11, not flags for whatever.

You completely missed the point Squeek was making, therefore you are ignorant.

Psychotik is right. You don't have proof that any people from the Chinese descent was piloting that plane. I don't see how it's ironic that the USA is buying 9/11 flags that China is selling, it's completely irrelevant.

[Squeek]

Re: Irony at its Max.

No.

Like I said, if we produced it here, it would cost at least 6 times as much.

I guarantee you that a bunch of "American Patriotism" products come from China.

WHAT!? Maybe you should re-read some stuff because I never suggested that Chinese were affiliated or responsible for anything that happened on 9/11. And if you don't see the irony in this situation then I'm sorry for you.

No.

Which is ironic. Is it not? Do you expect "American Patriotism" products to come from China?

Then how is it ironic? Maybe unpatriotic (if it's a word) but not ironic.

[Silver_Brian]

Re: Irony at its Max.

Yes. Everything comes from China.

Re: Irony at its Max.

The point, Psychotik, is that America did not use American made flags for their own day of mourning. They are using a foreign countries production.

[Squeek]

Re: Irony at its Max.

As far as I'm concerned, the incredibly subjective term "Patriotism" has nothing to do with whether you buy products from another country or not.

Also, I love your edit.

EDIT: Please believe what the media tells you about 9/11 they would never lie to you!

Once again completely missing the point.

And where, exactly, did you get the idea that the media is lying to you? The media.

I don't trust the media. Hell, I don't even watch the news. I just think conspiracy theorists are idiots. Moon landing, JFK assassination, 9/11, etc. Smart people with actual facts can easily debunk all of the rumors surrounding these "conspiracies".

Edit: you posted again

The point, Psychotik, is that America did not use American made flags for their own day of mourning. They are using a foreign countries production.

You would think these people would make their own flags. Lazy asses. What, you didn't? You mean you don't grow your own crops in your backyard? You don't drill for your own oil? Then what the hell good are you?

Re: Irony at its Max.

and my point is that there is lead in the products

That's wasn't funny the first time.
