It doesn't qualify as 'spam' as it is skin/theme - related and thus 'may' be of interest to Wincustomize users....

It is strange how being *Patriotic* does not seem to be the way to be anymore. I remember starting the day at school with a strong *Pledge of Allegiance* and a prayer, is that still the way in schools today, I wonder. My Mother and those in her generation have a very strong patriotism, I do also, but maybe not quite as visible. I have wondered if people in other countries feel a sense of patriotism. I am proud to be an American, but this does not mean I am always happy with or proud of my government ( on all levels ).

Yes, but most don't wear it on their sleeve quite as much as the Americans seem to do.

About as patriotic as we Aussies get is mumbling along to the song..."We come from a land down-under...."

It's a sign of 'belonging' if you can't actually remember the words to our anthem....

I personally do not know what is meant by this.

probably my spam detector is set higher than yours however, for me, any entity that solicits money either through products, services or donations and is not something I engaged in is spam. WC sends me emails on occasion touting weekend specials and the like, it is spam even though I belong to WC. would you consider receiving emails or mail for car insurance or to extend your car warranty is not spam because you own a car. the list goes on and on.

Yes, but most don't wear it on their sleeve quite as much as the Americans seem to do.

well, being an American maybe I don't see what you mean but I would assume you're probably just as patriotic about Australia as I am about the USA. I'm neither a "love it or leave it" or "down with capitalism" kind of person. those are extremes that the media plays up for revenues (you don't trust Murdock, do you?) To me, the site referred to is using the banner of patriotism to sell product. maybe Bancroft is on the level but...

I like the quiet patriot. The one who truly lives our ideals without talking about it or hoopla: Hanging flags (not that I don't love ours and not that it's a bad thing to do), and wearing lapel pins are not required. The kind who serves others quietly without seeking recognition, and is a hero without being a bully.

He/she is willing to stand between his/her home and war's desolation, and stand in harm's way to protect and defend....but is not anxious to kill or harm. He/she is a leader and follower...and while holding the law supreme, knows seeking justice is more important, and that it should be seen being done and doesn't confuse it with revenge. He/she walks humbly, secure in his/her love of our land and people and what they stand for each in his/her own special and infinitely precious way.

If that makes any sense.

I am literally, ROFLMAO!

There are a few 'indicators' that will see an instant thread removal, accompanied by an Exiling and/or IP Ban.

This doesn't have any of them specifically....
