Elaborate oh smug one?

I was asking which political overtones make you uncomfortable. All national flags have political overtones genius. You misunderstand your own country's flag? You're right to laugh so. If you don't understand that the flag is an emblem of unity as opposed to sectarianism then you are truly entitled to laugh yourself silly.

By the way, have you ever thought about the significance of naming yourself after a borderline paedo movie character?

it's not about Irish flags for me. It's all flags, all identifying yourself as members of a country. Borders and national identity are an entirely aribtary concept and one I feel really uncomfrotable with. it seems absurd to me. You're you. You're either a c**t or not. Where you were born makes precisely zero difference to that. same as going to see a band 'cos they're from the same 'place' as you. peculiar behaviour, in my opinion.

Pretty interesting, can see how flying a flag can be misconstrued as overt-nationalism, but then again it can also be harmless. I can definitely see how it could piss off another Irishman though. There does seem to be Irish flags everywhere, which I think does in some way come down to the whole attitude of "look at us, we're crazy and Irish" within a small minority

That lad should wear his Liverpool top, nothing wrong with such things, an adult man wearing one though... hmm... I'm not into it

Nationalism within itself, and regional racism, is a f**king joke. I hate that I'm judged when people hear my scouse accent, its utterly ridiculous, but I suppose thats all part and parcel of randomly being born there :) Strange old world eh.

Woodersons f**king cool mannnnnnn, he gets older... they stay the samee ageeee heh heh heh
