It's a big boys' ordtak

en It's a big boys' game of capture the flag.

en American politics as you know . . . is very often a matter of capture the flag. The party that loses the flag, as the Democratic party did basically from 1972 through the Iran hostage crisis, is in trouble.
  George F. Will

en When he was our president, he wanted us to show our patriotism. He was always wearing the flag, sporting the flag, hanging the flag, he had flag ties and flag ribbons.

en I'll tell you something. If anyone has had a LAN game with an RTS in an office of fifteen to twenty, or eight or even just two people shouting over cubes at each other, it's a hugely different experience than playing alone. Being able to do that with anyone in the world? That's phenomenal. If that's the only thing we brought to the product, that would be great, but it's only the tip of the iceberg. The Xbox Live features, like 'king of the hill' and 'capture the flag,' are very well understood among players, and now they can do that in a strategy context, rather than as a first-person shooter.

en It's not a flag that I look at with anything favorable, that's for sure. I can't tell people what flag to fly. I can tell you the flag we get behind, it's the American flag.

en "We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in.

- I claim India for Britain!

They go,

- You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!

- Do you have a flag?

- We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!

- No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."
  Eddie Izzard

en It's a game of statistics, but the truth is they are both deeply flawed statistics. It is a dynamic product. The per-channel number does not capture that because it values all channels the same, when they are not, and the nominal price really doesn't capture it either.

en We basically started by going outside shooting. I told the boys that I wanted them to capture images of themselves that express who they are as portraits, without including their faces.

en They either want to kill me, or capture me, or expel me. I hope I will be a martyr in the Holy Land. I have chosen this path and if I fall, one day a Palestinian child will raise the Palestinian flag above our mosques and churches.
  Yasser Arafat

en Laws protecting the United States flag do not cut away at the freedom of speech guaranteed in the First Amendment. . .Congress made this position clear upon passage of the Flag Protection Act of 1989, which prohibited desecration of the flag.

en You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory, the stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of those people who were here tonight and all across the country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head and it was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men that I served with and friends I grew up with.

For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in: our strength, our diversity, our love of country, all that makes America both great and good.
  Senator John Kerry

en It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.

en The lettering below the logo on the flag at No 42 is so small as to be almost illegible, and whilst this flag is contrary to the council's guideline due to that lettering, the level of departure is not significant and approval is recommended. The flag at No 36, however, has much larger lettering, and is unacceptable.

en If you're working a colt from horseback and he isn't responding, it's easy to reach over with the flag and help him along. But the flag material needs to be substantial. If you use a floppy piece of material on the end of the stick, it's much harder to direct the horse. The wind can blow and move the flag around, which might confuse and frighten the animal.

en I am just happy we finally put a disciplined game together. The boys did great. I think the boys singing in the background says it all.
