This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Burning the US flag except to dispose of it is considered offensive in the US as well.

I mean, the "burn the flag" people do want to dispose of it

I thought flags were made of non-flammable materials to prevent people from burning them.

No that's stupid. There aren't specific materials it's made of lol. It's that the colors were specifically designed by Lincoln to prevent people from desecrating it
