You may not mean to be insulting, but you are extremely insulting. Your anti-American rhetoric is getting very old. You are on a fan site of an American band, with American members, who sing songs about America, and are proud to be Americans. You sound like a typical Canadian to me...Eh.

I stopped been insulting a long time ago, but people keep bringing it back up, you must like it eh?

Did someone really say "Americans are the laughing stock of the world".

C'mon. In my opinion, there is no need for that type of negativity here. We're talking about Bon Jovi and Bon Jovi related events.

Besides, we have ALL the bombs and can destroy your homeland!!!!

Just kidding.

I'm sure Richie wasn't aware of "flag protocol" and if he thought it to be offensive to the Armed Forces, he would not have done it. Bon Jovi has always represented class and will continue to do so.

'This is a huge violation of flag protocol'. Comments like that are what makes America the laughing stock of the whole world, except that Americans don't realise that since most of them never actually travel more than 100 miles from their home throughout their whole life, and the American media doesnt seem to report what is actually happening outside of the US.

You didn't intend for that to be insulting? You need to work on your social skills. I usually don't resort to name calling but really stupid people piss me off. Let's make a deal, since you have such disdain for our country, you stay on your side of the border and keep your America bashing there as well.

JOVILUVR - You are not doing yourself any favors by not reading my posts properly. Obviously I was referring to the quoted comment, not all of my comments. Of course I have insulted in the past, I say what I think.

[color=][/color]Wow, This person that wrote this Artical about Richie must be one of those angry UnAmerians that have been on WWE Raw. The way he writes it has to be no other than Willam Regal.

I have had a lot of relatives die for my country and I did not take one offens to Richie wearing the flag around his waist. If you want to make a big deal about this than maybe you should trash Jon for wearing the flag like a cape at the winter Olipics. No one trash him for that. I know it's one of those I like Jonny and noone else in the band so I'm going to trash everyone of them. {Don't take that last comment too seriose please} This report is defently not a fan of the BAND or he wouldn't have said Jon's employee. Richie is as quoted by Jon is 50% owner of these songs.
Nuff said.
