I would never bring a flag on the summit. If somebody is climbing for a country he is not normal, he is sick.
People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band’s existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I’m sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared.

A lot of folks are still demanding more evidence before they actually consider Iraq a threat. For example, France wants more evidence. And you know I’m thinking, the last time France wanted more evidence they rolled right through Paris with the German flag.
Mainstream media is the enemy… but now it’s time to act on the enemy before they do a false flag.
Burn the flag; that’s a freedom. Then I have the freedom to take it away from them and tell them how dumb they are.
I remember being in high school, and you had to draw those lines and define yourself. I don’t think when I was in high school I would have been willing to admit that I liked the Shins. I was into TSOL and Black Flag. I probably would have listened to the Shins secretly in my bedroom.
As a grown adult, if you can’t look a woman or look a man in the eye and say, ‘I have serious feelings for you’ and instead you have to say, ‘Do you like me? Check yes or no,’ like we’re in grade school, that to me is a red flag of maturity as far as a relationship goes.
I believe a real democracy can only flourish when you have your own nation state, your own identity, even your own flag you can rally around.
I stand fearlessly for small dogs, the American Flag, motherhood and the Bible. That’s why people love me.
There are few industries as defiantly opaque as shipping. Even offshore bankers have not developed a system as intricately elusive as the flag of convenience, under which ships can fly the flag of a state that has nothing to do with its owner, cargo, crew, or route.
I can tell you the flag we get behind. It’s the American flag.
I think, in many people’s minds, the Confederate battle flag is not only a memorial to our ancestors, which is perfectly OK, but also a symbol of white superiority and an inclination for people to believe that even slavery would’ve been OK.
I think of ‘data science’ as a flag that was planted at the intersection of several different disciplines that have not always existed in the same place. Statistics, computer science, domain expertise, and what I usually call ‘hacking,’ though I don’t mean the ‘evil’ kind of hacking.
In 2025, don’t be surprised if a Chinese flag is placed on the moon.

As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.’s blue flag as a banner of hope. We have to continue our life-saving work in peacekeeping, human rights, development and humanitarian relief.
I’m not going to score if I’m out near the corner flag.
America is the one place where you can talk of ‘this nation’ and everyone knows exactly what you think. People put a flag on their porch, and they do have a desire to localize everything and celebrate things locally.
I salute South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Lindsey Graham for their calls to remove the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the Statehouse.
I used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. I’ve made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun.
The Caprese salad perfectly represents the colors of the Italian flag. While I am not so sure that the colors of the flag stem from the cuisine, there is no denying that those colors do evoke a typical Italian plate.

I wish black people had a flag they could put into the ground, like when the troops stormed Iwo Jima.
Black Flag was formed in 1977. We first recorded in 1978.
A flag translates into everything, from tacky souvenirs to the names of organizations and the way that flags function.

A rainbow is something in the sky, so a rainbow flag fits.
I don’t want to be like a flag in the wind one day like this and one day like the other, praying for a few points. Sometimes at this level we have to, sadly, work within this pressure in your day to day work, and that’s quite normal.
I remember seeing the Olympics when I was 13. I always wanted to know how it felt to stand on top of the podium hearing your country’s anthem while watching your flag being raised in something you poured your heart and soul into.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.’s blue flag as a banner of hope. We have to continue our life-saving work in peacekeeping, human rights, development and humanitarian relief.
Our flag is our identity, and we can’t disrespect or let anyone else disrespect our identity.

I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.
You can’t swing with hesitation; you can’t try to steer the ball to the flag; you can’t worry about that water hazard as you take the club back. You have to pick the right club, visualize the shot you want to hit, and then focus on that shot until the ball is gone.
There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.
I mean Black Flag happened. I was lucky. I don’t think I could have put together something with one percent of that oomph on my own.
Wherever I see people doing something the way it’s always been done, the way it’s ‘supposed’ to be done, following the same old trends, well, that’s just a big red flag to me to go look somewhere else.
Unfortunately a Constitutional amendment that would have empowered Congress to make desecration of the United States flag illegal failed to pass by one vote.
Maybe it’s my freak flag that, when I go to a haunted mansion, I would rather blend in with them and be part of the story rather than have someone jump out at me. To be part of the fantasy seems way more interesting to me, to embed myself in there and just drop in, in that way.
And I respect the anthem. I would never kneel for it. We all come from different walks of life and think differently about the anthem and the flag and what that means.
As an Olympian, I wear that flag and I’ve gone all over the world. I’ve represented the United States, so I have a deep pride for our flag.
Choosing to disrespect our flag is an over-generalized indictment of the greatest nation on Earth.

I feel very lucky to get to fly the flag of RCA Records and Sony Music.
I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year’s 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
