Get over yourselves.


If you couldn't tell, I fully support it. It's an incredibly small but nice gesture.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to collect some clothes for the homeless, I won't let the conflict in Syria or homosexual rights stop me, because, you know, I'm a functioning human being.

I haven't seen anyone call you a bigot or racist or anything. Just the notion that it's a waste of time and resources seems pretty outlandish given the small amount spent.

Pretty offensive post.

And your post, yeah, we can assume that (did you mean ignorant vs. arrogant) and I'd actually prefer there was no process and it just got put up vs. a big debate/discussion/approval process - and it's fair of me to suggest a "children at play" sign in a neighborhood has a more positive impact on protecting kids getting hit by cars than a flag has on the LGBT community in Calgary or on Russian politics. Which I'm allowed to have without being accused of having a lack of sympathy, prejudices or a sarcastic accusation that I'm not a functioning human.

I think flamewin's attitude and the above post are far more ignorant/rude than anything I posted.
