Patriotic Christopher Walken?
only in america…
marie – And English football fans.
Oh my.
rock on man.. i’m not saying i agree with it but it’s his face and if that’s what he loves and thats how he loves it i’m all for it
Very nice.
“We don’t sit down and watch people die. America steps in there to help.”
He he, had to chuckle….
If that’s what makes him happy.
Not something I’d want anywhere on my body, though, let alone my face.
I definately wouldve figured that in the last 2 hours more people who hate America wouldve commented by now.
Spot on to this guy. Way to praise the GREATEST nation ever known to this planet.
I was waiting for them as well Cere. Ignorance is always amusing.
Yeah, I thought he looked like Christopher Walken too 😛
I just thought he passed out @ a party and got his ass drawn on…
I love that he is an immigrant.
I’m not a fan of patriotic tattoos. Whenever I see Australians with Southern Crosses or Kangaroos tattooed on themselves I can pretty much guarantee they are bad news.
Perhaps the fact that he immigrated to the U S A from Tonga has something to do with the lack of ignorant comments. If this tattoo was on a big white dude from Alabama whose drinking a budweiser in front of a pickup truck and holding an m 16 there might be some very different comments round here.
Gotta love stereotypes.
haha I used to drive by that house everyday when going to Everett Community College and never knew this. what a little and amazing world.
haha i love southern cross tattoos kookyknut! and quite a few ppl i know have them. they’re definitely not bad news. in fact they’re quite nice people.
america the beautiful, literelly! i think it looks great!!!
Crikey. Wow. Good on the chap for having the balls to do what he wants with his face; you can’t argue with love. I have to say, though, that all the patriotism flying about in here is making me a little uncomfortable. I don’t want to start a flame war, though – don’t yell at me.
It has set me thinking – about the things you can love enough to have tattooed on you, the differences between them. Brain fodder: yay!
I think patriotism is stupid…
I guess if you live anywhere long enough you begin to believe the bullshit they feed you, but still I have to give him props, its nice to see that people are willing to believe in something so deeply whether you agree with it or not.
hahahah omg. dodgy!!
Damn! American again! When will the first german start to do this?
It’s good to see someone that loves their country. I don’t agree with a lot of the things that our government does, and I think a lot of the people here are religious wackjobs, but I still love my country. I don’t understand why so many Americans hate it here. If it’s that horrible, why are they still Americans? *shrug*
But back on topic… I think it looks great, and it’s fantastic that he’s showing his devotion to America in such a personal and life-changing way.
I agree with Lulu 100%
“Who cares? America is the best country in the world! America is like a police officer, stepping in to make others shake hands.
yup thats true stiking there noses where it doesnt belong and violate our civil/human rights
@0: E-rich: I think it’s more likely that he lived somewhere else long enough to know how lucky he is.
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when they deserve it.” — Mark Twain
i live in Canada, and many of the people here define their patriotism with shitty beer commercials or the few differences we have with our brothers to the south. i do disagree largely with some of the actions their government takes, but i’m also not a big fan of some of the things our government has done in the past.
Americans get way too much hate on the global stage.
I agree with Mark Twain
My only question is… how would you feel if other people from other countries started tattooing chauvinistic tattoos on their face? What if Iranis started doing that, and showing it off to the world?
Although many would say that they would feel the same, I question that. For some reason, seeing a patriotic American just isn’t something we question anymore, it is as common as sliced bread – and clearly just as dull.
I don’t really care that he immigrated from Tonga or not, that is a stupid thing to get tattooed on your face. All the families of people that have killed or have been killed under the American flag would happily punch this guys lights out. America has far too many atrocities under its belt for things like this.
People should consider tattoos with deeper political implications much much more.
Tom, people get flags tattooed on their bodies all the time.
you also have to understand that not everything associated with a nation (or it’s flag) is necessarily political. i don’t assume to know his politics, but he just seems complacent in living there. he definitely doesn’t have a tattoo on his forehead reading, “more blood for oil” or an eagle ripping the head off some Afghani civilian.
either way, you can argue whatever you want.
i’m sure his intentions are clear to him and he is aware of the reactions that his tattoo earns.
ps. i was reading the fark comments and this gave me a chuckle.
“This guys a Commie!
Real patriots get their entire body covered with a tattoo of Captain America’s uniform.”
Whilst I don’t necassarily agree the pro-American sentiment here, what I do agree with is a man who has worked hard to better his life, showing some appreciation.
Rather this than seeing some kid who chose to get his face tattooed whinging that he can’t get a job…
Wouldn’t it have been easier to get CUNT tattooed on his face? Cheaper too.
It’s too bad that as the US continually strips its citizens of their basic rights and freedoms that this tattoo will eventually be nothing but a memory of what once was the “land of the free”.
Haha I love all the UnAmerican comments! Warms my heart 🙂 God Bless America: the sickest nation on Earth.
#30. I lol’d :DF
what a moron, i have nothing against good face tattoos but this guy (like the english football fan) just looks like a clown.
Didn’t BME have to move from US servers specifically because it tried to ban the content being shown?
From Shannon 2005 “As of June 24, 2005, publishing BME was made illegal in the United States, with my wife Rachel and I each facing life in prison due to our involvement in the site. In no way am I exaggerating the risk we were at. Our lawyer, who specializes in free speech issues, advised us that there was a good chance of prosecution, beating the charges would be far from guaranteed, and that if we had any sense we leave America immediately and tell others to do the same. ”
Claiming the US is “land of the free” or a champion of free speech is not only wrong but completely backward.
Do you think he likes The Birthday Massacre? Because I sure do!
#39, under what law was it made illegal? Does anyone know? I live in England and an “obscene publications” act just got passed outlawing violent pornography. It’s taking all the fun out of my life.
I think if it’s what makes him happy, then great. It’s not the best design for facial tattooing in my opinion.. in no real way does this enhance what he has.. But again, that’s my opinion.
I do find it interesting, however, that his very obvious love for the country would probably make it difficult for him to find work.
But hey, he looks like a cheerful chap, good for him.
Ward. I can agree with that, I should have been more specific, I was referring more to the “We don’t sit down and watch people die, America steps in there to help” statement.
>>“We don’t sit down and watch people die, America steps in there to help”
By murdering over a million Iraqis? Well done.
*slow clap for the retards*
*turns cap backwards and drags knuckles*
USA USSSSSAAAAA USSSSAAAAA…
You don’t have to agree with the government to love your country. Nor some of its laws.
Not every single American, or American politian agrees with the war.
Not all of us are beer guzzling, oil loving, Iraqi hating douche bags. Don’t assume stupid shit.
I love my country. I love that I can choose my leader. I love that I could maybe one day be the leader, or at least run for it(not that I ever plan to). I love that I do have some freedom of speech, more than most countries. I love that I have the right to protest.
Sure America has a lot of faults, but tell me one country that doesn’t.
Don’t judge the whole country based on the actions of a few.
And this is why america should go back to an isolationist stance. Really the rest of the world holds nothing for us and can only drag us down to their level.
i agree with emaline
>>>Really the rest of the world holds nothing for us and can only drag us down to their level.
*snigger* yeah, wot he said…. BWA HA HA
I’m so getting a very pro-American fuck everyone else tattoo. Maybe a bald eagle shitting on the globe. Or Uncle Sam punching some poor innocent terrorist harboring citizen in the throat.
