    What the fuck? People gave these assholes half a million dollars to throw a frat party?

    Also:

    Fuck the flag. It’s a piece of cloth.

      Yeah for real.

      “Oh no, not the flag! Not that whole thing where it’s protected speech to burn the shit out of the flag if I want to!”

      They don’t have to spend it on a party. They can spend part on the party and the rest to help pay student loans.

        Oh, so they’re lying about what they want the money for.

        These proud American boys, ready to lie for their country student loans.

          Read the article. They didn’t start the go fund me. Someone did it for them

          Also if the flag wasn’t important, then there was no reason to try to raise a different flag.

    Kinda wonder about the whole “don’t touch the flag” bullshit when I see women wearing flag bikinis, men wearing flag swimming trunks, and both garments are touching assholes.

      You can get flag napkins. You can get flag diapers.

      It’s fucking moronic. Flags exist mainly so that armies could rally and ships could recognize each other at sea back before we had this handy thing called radio. Now it’s just for bullshit fake patriotism.

        I think diapers are the only acceptable use for certain flags. Thin blue line flags, confederate battle flag, and plain white (the final confederate flag) in particular.
