Yep, I do.... Still, they extend you some courtesy... My guys and friends do if I ask...

 

 

John, you know where i work. Problem is they communicate better when they speak Spanish since they understand that better. Ive picked up enough spanish to understand what they are saying but it still just gives me a headache to think about all day.

PR is not a state...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You guys do realize Puerto Rico is part of the USA and a Puerto Rican flag would like the equivalent of a state flag...

 

Are you against hanging a NJ (or any other state) flag too?

If I remember correctly there are 50 states and pr is not one of them. If you want I can list all 50 for you to check.

It would be a territory, correct? Same as the Virgin Islands...

It is technically a commonwealth but yea basically a territory. But it is still its own country and has its own flag not the American flag.

I never said it was a state. Considering you guys seemed so up in arms about it, as if someone who wanted to fly a PR flag hates America, I said the PR flag would be 'like the equivalent' to a state.

The ignorance is strong with this one.

 

New Jersey has its own flag. Is NJ its own country?

only time an American flag should be requested to be taken down.

No nj is not its own country but nobody said it is. But Puerto Rico is its own country it is not a state. And if you want to fly a different country's flag you must like that country more than this one. But your free to go back. Your in America for a reason.

HOA = UNION

HOA = UNION

I can understand the union has a bad rep due to some of the members lack of work ethic... HOA are way way worse. HOA's have this "idea" of what a neighborhood should look and run like. If you don't "fit" in with members and confirm to the their ways they will make your life a living hell. People need HOA's like an 2nd A hole. They do nothing for you. Atleast a union can help when an employer is trying to do ridiculous things.

As I said, the ignorance is strong with you. You must be operating with a different definition of country then everybody...

Maybe it is ignorant. But I call it patriotism. There's clearly a reason you are in this country. If you believe another country is so good then go back nobody is stopping you.

Patriotism is simply a politically correct word for Nationalism.

Call it whatever you want. I'm still going to have the same views.

It's ignorant because PR is part of the US. It is also ignorant because it is no different then the pride (as misguided as it is) you have. To be brutally honest, you don't seem like a very sharp fellow.

I'm not going to keep arguing with you. But it is still its own country. It has its own government and laws. I don't believe you are very intelligent either. Do people in pr pay us taxes? The answer is only some. People who work for the government or company's that work with government do not everybody. and the pride I have is for the country we are in. The country we live in, work in, want our kids to go to school in, ect. As much as people **** about this country it is still the best country in the world. If you don't feel it is you can leave.

A little light reading for you.

And I wasn't arguing with you. I was actually just trying to inform you that you are wrong.

Around 2ft by 4ft. But personallyi dont think the size of the flag matters. I think if you love that country so much that you want to hang their flag then go back there. If your in America theres a reason your here.

 

I think this is the wrong way to look at it. I think that in a way, to a certain extent, putting up your country of origin's flag is American. Every American came as an immigrant somewhere along the family lineage. Diversity is a modern day American value. It's OK, or even good, to honor your past, so long as you take pride in the fact that America provided a better future with freedoms that no one could be grateful enough for. So long as the American flag is the biggest and highest flag on display, there's not a problem with it.

 

But that's not why size matters in your case. It's not a question of whether or not it's bigger or higher than the American flag. It's an issue of misrepresenting you or the business or any other employee as Puerto Rican. At 2'x4', it's big enough that customers or clients or whatnot may think that the entire business or it's upper management is Puerto Rican, and that's not fair to you or the business. Just explain to him that issue, and that you respect his background. I'd say like a small table flag or bumper sticker is OK, or something like "I'm proud to be Puerto Rico American" with emphasis on the American part. That way, he can take pride in his history, take pride in America, and respect you and the business.

Yea I told him go put it on your car or house. But not in this business. Its not his property to hang anything. He should have asked before the fact.
