Is it true that in Europe, if you fly your country's flag

Yes. And you better hope the local sharia patrol doesn't see it or they'll dispatch a SWAT team to take you down.

Such is life in Europe.

If you fly it with no reason, you're disrespecting flag. If you just want to fly something indicatibg you're home, use pendant instead.

Can you fly a foreign flag in Europe?

In the East (Rhône-Provence-County of Nice-Languedoc-Lorraine-Picardie-Flanders-Alsace) it's very common to fly France's flag along with a regional flag

Lmao quite the opposite. It's part of our culture to hoist a flag to almost any occasion. Birthdays, Weddings, Constitution day, liberation day, worker's day, store bededag, fucking christmas, hell we even bred a pig to look like the Danish flag and put it on our clothes.

Albeit we do have certain rules for when to flag as >>71334340 said.

No. You'd be considered a bit weird and silly though, as flying the flag is typically done either in celebration (full mast) or commemoration/mourning (half mast).. Flying it just to fly it, while not a government building, boat or fishmonger is considered weird. At the same time, NOT flying a flag on a boat or fish monger is equally weird. There's a time and place for flags, and they're pretty clearly defined.

No, but we do have strict rules for when we are the raise our flags.
We have official flag days like the 17th of May(our constitution day), and you can also raise the flag if you're celebrating a birthday, a wedding, or if you're mourning a death you can raise it half way.

All government, military, etc... Raises the flag everyday.

You may not flag during the night, and you have to take the flag down before sunset.

The reason why is that the flag should have a meaning and not be "watered down".

If you still want to flag all day we have pic related, which you can use all day, every day.

so either we speak a different language or you don't know shit about language classification. we have quite a few borrowings from French and Latin in our vocabulary, but most words and basically all grammar is Germanic, making Dutch a Germanic language. a language can't be x% of this family and y% of that family. that's just not how it works, except maybe for pidgin languages.

Not sure I buy that. The US has a history of making angry faces at whatever european ethnicity immigrated most recently. You guys were racist against swedes for a while, that's impressive.

Either way, I was being sarcastic. The dutch and the walloons wanted jobs which Sweden's growing ore industry had, and they had knowledge that we needed. They helped us build up our industry back then which is what SOME LEFT-WING IDIOTS refer to when they say "immigrants helped build Sweden". The absurdity here is that they use the success of dutch/walloon immigration to justify immigration from MENA when they're practically polar opposites - culturally similar group of immigrants with important skills vs. culturally dissimilar group of immigrants without important skills.

no she doesn't. even if 51% of our words are borrowings from Romance languages, that doesn't make Dutch a Romance language. since you seem to like linking wikipedia articles, here's one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language

note the first line:
>Dutch is a West-Germanic language

>Why do teens always think they know better?
how very mature of you, sure does improve your argument

as a side note, even if 51% of our vocab is Romance borrowings, that is including the more rarer used words. many words for very specific things and many terms in science, for example, are Romance borrowings. the most frequently used words consist for more than 49% of Germanic words.

>>71342583
>During the first waves of migration the Swedes were also subjected to certain racial stereotypes and prejudices. The expression "dumb Swede" was established as they had problems learning English.
>There were entertainment shows which used a character called "John Johnsson" when poking fun at Swedes. He was dumb, clumsy, drank too much and talked with a funny accent.[17]
>The immigrant historian Rudolph Vecoli has pointed out [18] that they were not initially always recognized as "whites" in the Anglo-Saxon or German sense, but after the wave of Polish immigration this attitude shifted.
>Many also complained about the smell of the Swedes that was considered to smell like herring.
>In 1901 Horace Glenn wrote "Walking behind a string of Swedes is impossible to a person with delicate nose. It's an odor which could only come from generations of unwashed ancestors".[19]

It wasn't really that bad, but still hilarious. It's not strange that a culturally distinct groups which spoke another language would have been treated this way back then. It happened to the irish, the germans, the poles etc. Some diffrences were larger than others, but ultimately they integrated too and the memes died down. Back then english wasn't as widespread as it is now either.
