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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is a myth perpetuated by the flag manufacturers to sell more flags. Why would you need to burn your flag because it got dirt on it? That's what washing machines are for.
It’s also what the US flag code says. The only time it recommends burning is when it’s so tattered it’s not fit for use anymore.
And this is while most people who say the flag can't touch the ground ignore the other rules in the flag code (that doesn't apply to civilians) that state that the flag should not be flown on the same pole as another flag, and in the event that it is flown alongside another flag on a separate pole, both flags should be flown at the same height.
Only same height if it's another national flag pretty sure
That's what anti patriotic, washing machine detergent manufacturers want you to think!!
Hell Yea Brother!!! 🦅🇺🇲 🚫🧼
Big Flag is fooling everybody!
Also, how much dirt touches the flag while it's up?
The pledge of allegiance was also made by a flag manufacturor to sell more.
