...What would happen if I wave the flag of the U.S.S.R. in an influential place?

What're publically accessable places, preferably high and within view of a LARGE number of people with their cameras, in the U.S. that would cause quite a commotion if I waved the U.S.S.R. flag at that area?

I mean, if you think about it, it would be rather funny.

"OMIGOD! The Russians got us behind our backs! I knew it! I knew they never planned on stopping!"


EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot how my idea went. It could be any flag, really. Preferably either Communist Russian, British, French, or anything else that would be rather funny. Such as Myrth's flag.

There is no reason to be so blatant, just go to NYC and visit the UN building and when no one is watching replace the Russian flag with that of the USSR.

Someone would probably shoot you. Then I'd start an armed rebellion and rewite the constitution because we've got way too many changes to it.

At my former highschool, on a few different occassions, people flew the U.S.S.R's flag, and on one occassion, flew a huge one on the flagpole. The administration was pissed, each time, and wrote up each person involved in each incident. However, in the flagpole one, I believe people got suspended.

Anyways, if I saw you doing it, I'd prolly give you money.

That or the EVIL SUPERSECRET AGENTS IN BLACK HELICOPTERS THAT FLY WITHOUT ENGINES will come and shoot you with an invisible meat bullet.

I would be the one to shoot you, only I would not aim to kill, but rather I would aim for your groin in the hopes of causing you to develop a case of that gangrenous Russian disease, for irony's sake... what was it called again? Oh, yeah, Rotcherkokov.

Anyone waving the Russian Flag deserves to be mutilated, cut open, and be tied to an electrified pole by his or her intestines!" ;)

Sorry...I just couldn't resist....

Media coverage. Random people with videocameras getting footage before I'm hauled off by the thought police. Media getting ahold of that. Can be very interesting. I'll laugh if someone ever did it.

In theory nothing. The constitution should protect your right to wave any flag.

In practice you'd probably get carted off to prison without standing trial for being a possible terrorist.

Yes, perhaps we should go back to simply natural human rights of life, liberty, property. Nothing else. I'm sure humans would be better off unorganized.

I'd call around and see what the rules were for displaying things on overpasses over the most convienent congested interstate in your area. You might need to get a permit, and a whole day would be shot guarding your flag. But I would imagine a news crew would show up, if they want to talk, it'd be best to have something exceptionally clever to talk about.

Other than that sports franchise in the biggest closest TV market. You might have to work to smuggle in a giant flag. And it probably wouldn't hurt if you enjoyed being sticky-wet and smelling like other people's stale beer, just in case.

But it would be pretty funny to drive into downtown one morning and see a giant USSR flag with a legible "Surprise Bitches!" banner with it. If you could get a group of people to do that on every major overpass in the region, on May Day, or November 7th, you'd probably go to jail. But you be a ledgend and it'd probably be worth the community service.

leave out the MP40 and they can only ask you to leave, escort you to the door and such. But you can't walk into the Senate with weapons, you know that. The canes and cane swords and knives were banned Civil War era.

Then again, people might laugh at you because it is a Soviet flag and that means....

Well, for my own good, I've not yet joined Londinivm's forum, and have only recently joined this one (I'm being fast corrupted), but she definitely steals everyone's pants all the time.

Since I'm a rabid Seahawks fan (it'd take too long to explain why, I just am) my ultimate prank fantasy it's probably more achievable but about as expensive.

I'd want to do a set-up stadium proposal, but go way bigger than people do when they're normally done. I'd want to have one friend holding two changes of clothes (1 tux and one female), another friend video taping, my regular seats, and two more seats where it'd be the maximum spectical. So when they do the proposals, I'd want to come out in a tux when they roll it on the screen, get down on one knee and give the girl (who would hopefully be a real looker) a giant zirconia ring. Instead of saying yes, she'd act extremely pissed and punch me out (for real and hard) throw the ring at the friend video taping the thing and storm off before she could get kicked out of the stadium or arrested. Have her change clothes and probably makeup with the aid bagman friend. Then I'd collect the ring and wander off dejected to change back into my game gear (which is considerable). Then if possible we'd meetup in my regular seats to watch the rest of the game (which would probably amount to the second half). Going in with a beard and shaving in a bathroom might be part of the plan too, as would closing any cut or applying concealer. That'd would cost a pretty penny to pull off. But god damn that'd be classic. What a great story to give 60,000 people. "Remember that game where that guy who proposed got punched out? I was there!" Not to mention I wouldn't see another proposal at a game for a season or two. All that would run about a minimum of $1000, assuming free availability of a decent video camera. And everything would have to be snuck in, which shouldn't be a problem, but you never know.

First, most people wouldn't even recognize the flag of the USSR. Second, most people who did would just laugh or shrug and go on about their business. Third, in NYC, hardly anyone gives a crap what you do! :D

Nothing at all would happen to you, this happens all the time. One of the great things about the U.S. is that we have the freedom to do things like waive USSR flags, which do in fact get waived from time to time at hockey games, and nothing at all happens. In fact, there are tournament hockey teams (both Roller and Ice) that wear CCCP jerseys, again with no recourse.

This is something the rest of the world needs to consider, they see Americans as close-minded, but at the same time are stereotyping those same Americans. Just because no one in the United States will beat you, shoot you, etc. if you go to a hockey game and waive a CCCP flag, it doesnt mean we are ignorrant and don't know what the CCCP stands for, it just means we are tolerant on that subject. make sense?
