what is most disturbing to me, is that there are so few men in this world that are so committed to peace, that the world honors them because of their rarity.

I stand corrected, your right,
I have to assume I have been indoctrinated to relate the right wing with racism,
when people call me names I get pissed and will say things I don't really mean.

If American when caught up worrying about abit of fabric on a pole ...
No one is 'caught up worrying' about it. That's really blowing things up out of proportion.
This is a simple question for Americans at ATS ...
When do you think the US National Flag should be dipped to half staff?
If you aren't American ... or if you are American and think it's a stupid question ... then just move along and go to a different thread. No big deal.

this thread is nothing but a call for bobbleheads of the same mind.
Grow up. It's a very simple question. You decided to come on here and be all snarky
and insulting over a very simple question. Since you aren't American and don't
understand our culture, it's not a thread for you anyways. Bu-bye.

I think it is the least he deserves, he changed the face of the planet and for once for the good of all.
I think we all should pay out respects anyway we should.

For god's sake it's just a simple mark of respect!
At the end of the day, it's just a bit of material fluttering in the wind!
Why would it not be the right thing to do?

It was lowered for Ted Kennedy .. a retired US democrat from Massachusetts.
it's appropriate for things like Sandy Hook and 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, but when we start lowering it for world leaders or former world leaders, no matter how much some folks admire them, then it'll be lowered all the time and the 'half staff' will lose it's real meaning.

Senator Kennedy died in office. That is why flags were lowered in his honor.
