For your edification. A example of schools running amuck. SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C. – On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, students at one high school were not allowed to wear clothes with an American flag.
There is only a little bit more in the story here. Do you think the people responsible for this are using their heads in preventing demonstrations of patriotism on September 11th? C.

Submitted by Tschida on Thu, 09/13/2007 - 9:43am.How nice of you to communicate a threat to 'curse me out' if I were to suggest that you demonstrate some courtesy. Manners and polite behavior deomstrate that you are aware of others and their feelings, and it is a obvious way to show that you think of others in civilized society.
I would not tell you to remove your hat any where but in my home. My children do not wear hats much, but that is a rule I have in my home. When someone comes to my home I will go out of my way to demonstrate courtesy and manners, to make them feel welcome and comfortable. But that is just me, all stiff and in a twist.

Yeah, when did people stop knowing how to wear their hats?!
Submitted by Guglielmo on Thu, 09/13/2007 - 10:05am.2.Taking it off, which you generally do for friends (or in some cases, as a sign of patriotism or reverence).
Both are done as a sign of respect toward the other and dignity toward oneself. Your cigarette, pipe or cigar should always be taken out of your mouth before removing or tipping your hat.
A man takes off his hat:
(1) when he is being introduced to someone, or when saying goodbye to a woman, elder, friend or ;
(2) as a greeting when passing someone he knows, particularly a lady, on the street (In some cases, tipping or lifting a hat and bowing slightly may be used as a substitute for removing a hat, as a passing gesture);
(3) while talking, particularly with a woman, an older man, or a clergyman;
(4) while the National Anthem is being played, or the American Flag is passing;
(5) at a funeral or in the presence of a passing funeral procession,
(6) when speaking to another of a virtuous woman or a dearly departed loved one.
A man tips or lifts his hat:
(1) when walking with a friend who passes a woman only the friend knows;
(2) any time a lady who is a stranger thanks you for some service or assistance;
(3) any time you excuse yourself to a woman stranger, such as if you accidentally disturb or jostle her in a crowd, or when you ask for pardon when passing in a tight space or when forced to walk between two people that are conversing, particularly if one is a woman;
(4) any time a stranger shows courtesy to a woman you are accompanying, such as when a man or woman picks up something she has dropped, or a man opens a door for her or gives her his seat;
(5) when you ask a woman (or an elderly man) for directions.
Indoors, a man should always remove his hat, (particularly in a home, church, courtroom or restaurant) except:
(1) in some public buildings or public places such as railroad stations or post offices;
(2) in the main parlor area of a saloon or general store;
(3) or while seated at the "lunch counter" of a diner or cafe;
(4) in entrance halls and corridors of office buildings, or hotels;
(5) in elevators of public or office buildings, unless a woman is present;
(6) if carrying packages, parcels or bags and both hands are occupied upon entry.
(7) If the man is an actor or performer and the hat is being worn as a part of a costume or performance.

Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 5:55pm.When I was a child in the 1950s, it was desecretion to wear anything that resembled an American Flag. When we started doing it in the 1960s, the Conservatives called us "communist hippies".

Flag Ettiquette
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 6:10pm.IMPORTANT DONT'S
It is generally not desirable to fly the flag outdoors when the weather is particularly inclement because exposure to severe winds and rain may damage the flag or the pole on which it is displayed. Never in any way should disrespect be shown the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag should never be dipped into any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are dipped as a mark of honor. The U.S. flag should never be displayed with the union down except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The U.S. flag should never touch anything beneath it - ground, floor, water or merchandise. The U.S. flag should never be carried horizontally, but it should always be aloft and free. Always allow the U.S. flag to fall free- never use the U.S. flag as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery, festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds. For draping platforms and decorations in general, use blue, white and red bunting. Always arrange the bunting with the blue above, the white in the middle and the red below. The U.S. flag should never be fastened, displayed, used or stored in any manner which will permit it to be easily torn, soiled or damaged in any way. Never use U.S. flags as a covering or drapes for the ceiling.
* * *
Never place anything on the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag should never have placed upon it, or on any part of it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture or drawing of any nature. Never use the U.S. flag for receiving, holding, carrying or delivering anything. The U.S. flag should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins, boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use or discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. Never use any part of the U.S. flag as a costume or athletic uniform. A flag patch may be affixed to uniforms of military personnel, firemen, policemen and members of patriotic organizations.

"Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing."
Again....I draw upon my days as a youth...
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 8:09pm.The interpretation of the 1950s and 1960s was that wearing anything symbolic of the American flag was a desecretion. Hell, I remember an old military guy in the early 1960s not allowing his family to watch Hogan's Heroes as he said it was a desecretion of the military service.
I think what I'm sharing here, is that customs change. If you look at pictures from 1968 you'll see only "hippies" with long hair and facial hair. By 1974, the Conservatives were growing their hair and facial hair.
I can remember in junior high, when girls had to kneel on the floor to prove that their skirts and dresses weren't too short and boys caught with their shirts not tucked in were sent to the principal.
Of course marketing and money have a lot to do with trends. American flags are made in China. If someone can make money selling tshirts with the flag on them, well now.....that's AMERICAN!

Seriously though, I do not think everyone should abide be ye aulde ruelles of hatte wheahring. And I do not think that the lost art of hat wearing is destroying society. However, I do lament the loss of one more margin by which humans communicate with one another, especially if most of what is being communicated is respect and affection. No one ever used a hat gesture to harm someone (except when Skipper slapped Gilligan with his...hat that is).

Submitted by Rob Richards on Thu, 09/13/2007 - 3:06pm.As far as me and my relationship to your disagreement with me, don't flatter yourself kiddo.
One day I learned the definition of the word fascism. Since then I've been able to use that word when I feel it applies. In my opinion, our president is a fascist, and capitalism is a slick, easy-to-sell-to-people version of fascism. I see the definition, I see our system, and I make a comparison. I don't redefine anything.
Who gets to decide what is polite? Or what manners are? I think it's impolite for people to tell me what to wear. I think it's impolite for people to try to force their values on me. Doesn't that mean anything to you? It's the same principle right? Do you feel any different now that you know I get offended by those things? If you do, that's great. If you don't, then why not? Do you not care what others think about your actions?

If you say something to someone on this blog, or anywhere really, and they silently slink away and stop speaking their mind then you've just destroyed a bit of our community. We need to communicate with people, especially people who don't have the privilege of being white men, on their level or terms. It is our responsibility to go out of our way to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe and listened to in our conversations.

Absolutely not. If you disagree with someone, please explain precisely why you do so, but preferably without snide comments or accusations of dishonesty. What I don't understand is what motivates folks to spend so much energy looking for something to disagree with. And I'm not just talking about you, I mean a lot of us. That's why the Daily Olympian comments just make me want to puke. 90% acrimony.
