Wouldn't you say that there would be at one asshole out of 40,000 people?
I'd say it'd be pretty shit luck if out of that huge campground, I happen to neighbor that one asshole.
and I'd hope that out of those 40,000, there'd be at least a few kind folks in the vicinity willing to help me tell the fucker off. I'm not afraid of confrontation...I just don't like to be alone.
Hell, the overwhelming majority of people I met last year were infinitely cool. The one guy from Düsseldorf who told me that he "laughed when the World Trade Center towers fell" didn't ruin Wacken for me. I just politely bid that group adieu, and found some other cool 'heads to drink with.
I'm not too worried about it - the main purpose of the flag is, as monochrom put it, to catch attention from other Americans (I only met one last year), or quite simply, just to make the presence known.
@ CarpWolf - heart disease? yeah, it's the leading cause of death here. especially in the south, where everything gets served in a yellow pool of grease, haha. Damn, I'll be in trouble if I keep making chili the way I do.
@Sheisthedark - Funny, I'm eating a Frosty right now
(and yes, EATING...unless you leave it sitting for hours, there's no way you can DRINK a Frosty, lol)
