Seattle Resident Mistakes Norwegian Flag For Confederate Flag

[Dashinka 24,587]

Are people really that geographically challenged?

 

A Seattle, Washington resident recently made headlines by mistaking the Norwegian flag for the Confederate flag.

According to The Seattle Times, author Rebecca Morris sent a tip to the paper that read, “Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.”

 

However, when a reporter checked out the flag’s location, it was actually a Norwegian flag that had been put up by a Norwegian-American man for the Olympics.

That is what irks me about a lot of people here in the USA. A lot of people on either side want to get offended over something really small and stupid, or something that in the ends not even being the case such as this.

It is the "victimhood" culture for many that seems to be promoted by progressivism.  Get offended by everything.

There’s enough stuff to get offended about for everyone.  It’s particularly amusing when somoene pretends to be offended when the topic doesn’t even affect them at all.

I get offended by stuff all the time, but I was taught to not let it bother me.  One of the things that offends me the most is when someone drinks red wine with seafood.  Outrageous!

Reminds me of the person who mistook a hibiscus plant for Marijuana plant
