Flying the Somali flag in government buildings..

Is't possible to have the Somali flag flying in the gov't centre in ffx in honour of our independance day? Many, many yrs when I lived in Minnesota they use have them flying in state and local gov't buildings in Minneapolis and St.Paul.

Independence from what? Organized government and/or rule of law?

Of course it is, they will also do this at the Washington Monument with 50 flags in a circle.

Just change it yourself it's totally permitted but you have to bring you own flag.

I loled at the independence from "Organized government and/or rule of law?"

Well, we gained our independence from Italy July 1st, 1960 and Somalis thru out the world celebrate that day. I remember the Ethiopian flag flying in Alexandria (the courthouse) back in 2003 for some special event. I know the Somali community isn't as large as others in the DC metro area, but it would be nice if Fairfax celebrated our independence day.

Well there is more Somalis here in Nova and in other sorroundings jurisdictions (Mont. Co, Baltimore Co) than there are canadiens. This is besides the point. I see many young Somali teens that know nothing of their homeland, this is sad.

Sure, you can fly the flag, just don't fly it higher than the U.S. Flag though.

Somalia shouldn't have a flag since they don't have a government and therefore are more of a territory than a sovereign nation. I suggest all somali flags be burned until the people of somalia evolve into at least a 3rd world civilization.

Feel free to fly the somali flag in somali government buildings, but it'll be an ice cold day in hell before we see it in an American government building.

No they're not. Somalians are primitive and crude. They also can't get over the fact that they're not in Somalia and nobody gives a damn except emotionally
disturbed liberals.

I once had an altercation with a Somalian woman at the Pentagon
Metro stop. I was next in line to get on a bus when a Somalian
woman tried to jump on ahead of me, nearly knocking me over. I
threw my arm up to stop her and told her to please go to the
end of line like everybody else. She started shouting at me in
whatever language she speaks and I was afraid she was going to
attack me but fortunately a Metro cop saw the ruckus and walked
over and told her to go to the end of the line. (In English)
She was furious and once she got on the bus and it started
moving she began shouting at me from one of the middle seats.
(I was in the rear) This went on all the way to the Navy Annex
where the driver stopped and told her to shut up or get off.

I don't give a damn is she came from Somalia or not and I don't
suppose they have much of a wait for the camel caravan over there
but this ain't Somalia. Don't they see a need to learn American
customs and manners if they're going to live here?

Somolia would be a great place for nuclear testing.
The people are savage and uncivilized.
For some reason, my country lets some of them move here, and they bring their savage customs and way of life here.

Unfortunately, there are some Americans from that part of the world and who have been here for generations that haven't adopted the custom of waiting their turn.

Sure thing, Ahmed, but you've got to take into consideration that this here is Virginia.

When we see a blue flag with a single white star on it, we take that to mean something else entirely.

West Florida flag: Single white star on blue field
Bonnie Blue flag: Single white star on blue field
Somali Flag: Single white star on blue field

No reason to wallow in your historic ignorance. Yes, that is the flag of the Republic of West Florida. It flew over that republic for how long? Between 70 and 90 days? It remained a symbol of West Florida for another 50 years or so?

In January of 1861 the West Florida flag was adopted by Mississippi and was *the* flag raised above their capitol on the very day that Mississippi declared its independence. The West Florida flag immediately took on a new meaning and it spread to other seceding states.

Secessionists used it as a symbol; even secessionists from states that (unlike Mississippi) had no historical ties to the short-lived Republic of West Florida. Its use took hold throughout the nascent Confederacy, and by the end of 1861, civic groups and military organizations throughout the independent states marched and rallied under it and the flag had taken hold as a secessionist rallying point in popular culture in the form of McCarthy's popular march.

By the end of 1861, the flag had lost its former meaning. It has flown for 150 years now with a particular meaning.

Kudos to you, SoylentGreen, for knowing a historical tidbit. But you're ultimately an ignorant joke. As I stated in my post, that flag has a particular meaning in Virginia. Maybe in a few Florida Parishes and Missisippi counties, they still view that flag as the West Florida flag, but not in Virginia. As I posted.

Dumb fuck.

- I was referring to the states with large Somali populations, Minnesota and Ohio. The Somali community in those states can look at that as just a ceremonial gesture by the communities they live in. I respect all Americans equally, naturalized or not and I'm grateful for what this country has done in shaping the lives of many immigrants. I was merely pointing out the hatred comments made by some. God bless you all!

You'd like to think you're a progressive thinker with all your best wishes for immigrants, but I'll bet you don't live near or have any interaction with these third world low lifes. And please name ONE immigrant that this country has shaped the life of.
It's usually the other way around. They bring their vile habits here, and push their savage lifestyles on us.
If your "God " was to really bless us , he'd keep us seperate from these primitives. So shove your phony humanitarian well wishes and save your delusional blessings while some of us have to deal with the reality of having to live among your wonderful immigrants.

Hello everyone, it's getting close to that time of the year again. I am once again to looking to have the Somali flag fly over the Fairfax County Gov't centre in honour of our independence. We have been trying to get them to do since 2005, but never accepted it. Strangely enuff, Ethiopians were allowed to do it twice (2004, 2005), but never somalis. I am looking to start an Online petition to collect signatures, so if anyone is interested let me know.

Thanks.

It'd be even nicer if you'd just assimilate and embrace American culture - our holidays included! The only thing we want to see about anybody's Independence Day is you holding a flag in one hand, a hot dog in the other, and singing "I'm a Yakee Doodle Dandy" while the fireworks are going off - and all of this on the Forth of July.

If Somalia is that wonderful, then raise the Jolly Roger and get your ass back there.

Probably because Somalia has no real government in place. You ever think of that?

BREAKING NEWS!

A compromise has been reached in the issue of flying the Somali flag on July 1.

Fairfax officials have agreed not to fly the Somali flag, but have instead agreed to fly a Somali from each and every flagpole in the county. A Somali will be suspended by the neck from each and every pole available. Furthermore, the Pentagon has promised to provide Navy SEALS to carry out reenactments of the indident in the Gulf of Aden where young Somali men, the flowers of that nation, hikacked an American ship. Each hour on July 1, three young Somali men will be shot in the head by SEAL snipers. Given that enough Somalis are available, the process will continue through July 4 - the AMERICAN Independence Day that all in this country SHOULD be observing rather than some foreign shithole holiday.

Photographers will be on hand to take souvenir pics with the snipers and their targets for all Fairfax citizens interested in a momento of the day.

Amin,

Please report to the nearest flagpole. You'll be raised by the neck to your proper "place of honor" immediately.

Damn that shit hole you call a motherland. May it become a nuclear test range for all the world soon.

Please show little bit of decency or common courtesy. Respect other people's culture and traditions. I always observe 4th of July even thought i wasn't born here and i am not a citizen of the USA yet.

Thanks

But you plan on becoming a citiaen, right? Then the
USA *is* your culture. Forget about that shit hole you
came from, forget about the cave man culture and
traditions. Buy some sparklers and eat a hot dog on
July 4th.

Or report to the nearest flag pole, skinny!

Hello once again guys. It's that time of the year again. It will be 1st of July before we know and we are trying to organize a community get together at the grounds of the Fairfax County government centre. We have been very unsucessfull in the last 6yrs in holding the event in the grounds of the centre and having the flag fly there. Once again, the Somali community in the Washington DC metro area is going to start the ball rolling in this. This time we are lucky because our independence day would co insidize with the opening of the first Somali diplomatic embassy in the U.S for the first time since it was closed in 1991. And we might even have the Somali embassodor to the U.S present at the event.

We wlc all ideas in making this event wonderful event for everyone who attends.

Hello all. I don't know what this Somali independence day thing is aboot, but July 1st is the traditional day of celebrating Canada's semi-independence from England. All Canucks will be given a day off from the maple syrup mines to partake in consumption of beavertails and backbacon. Don't be a hoser, join us at the Gov't center (after those stinky African fellows leave) and get a free bag of milk!

I'm confused. Is this for independence from the Italians or the British? No matter, nothing seems to have gone well there since. My grandmother's brother served in Somalia during his conscription in the Italian army; it was the highlight of his life, and he would be turning over in his grave at seeing Somalia today

Just to keep you guys updated, we are now in better position of finally having the Somali flag fly in the Fairfax County government centre for our Independence Day. The Somali community in the DC metro had had sent an official request to Fairfax county government asking that our flag honoured and flown for our Independence Day. As of right now, it's 50/50 they might approve it or they might deny it. But there is always next year. We also sent an official request to Montgomery county in Maryland to honour the Somali Independence Day there.

There would be a community get together and we have rented or reserved few parks and halls to hold that day. If anyone is interested or wants to join us, please let me know.

Instead of flying the flag, pool your money and send the kiddies off for holiday.

Because others are allowed to fly their flag when they are celebrating their Independence day, idiot. The Fairfax government celebrates and even has some of it's literature in certain foreign languages (Korean, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Etc). Granted the Somali population here in Fairfax isn't as huge as some of the other nationalities, but we need to get the ball rolling in this.

P.S. Stop trolling my thread if you have nothing worthwhile to contribute to it, bastard.

Hey shit head...Korean, Arabic, Spanish, etc are all major languages. What language do Somalis speak? French? pirate? Skinny?

Which country flags are raised over the Gov Center to celebrate their independence day because I have never seen any.

Or at the very least, get a permit from the county or have the county do Fireworks in our honour. I also read somewhere that the Somali Interior Minister is involved and is working very hard with the local government to make this possible.
