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.

I’m pretty sure there are plenty countries where burning is a huge offense.
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
But it's not illegal.
You only burn to dispose of a tattered flag, burning an intact flag is offensive just like everywhere else
