here's the flaw in your arguement:
You equate being proud of your family's lineage [ie having a different nation's flag in your avatar] to disrespecting your country. The truth of the matter is, almost everyone on these boards are proud of the nation in which they live reguardless of the flag in their avatar. Except maybe the french, and most likely the polish, cuz quite frankly, they both have nothing to be proud of.

Oh, and as a corollary, I called you a xenophobe because it's just as fitting a label for you as you'd call me someone who disrespects Canada for not having the maple leaf as the flag of my avatar, or sLiCk_NiCk having the greek flag in his. It's most likely false, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but it looks like the irony was lost on you.
