<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I am a guy and am thinking about decorating my room for collge. Just some psters and stuff.</p>
<p>any suggestions. </p>
<p>I will probally bring an American flag and Israeli flag, but other than that, dont know how to decorate it.</p>
<p>thanks for suggestions</p>
<p>movie posters... band posters</p>
<p>posters of hot girls. spencers sells alot. also posters of drugs and alcohol are nice too.</p>
<p>also posters of drugs and alcohol are nice too</p>
<p>........</p>
<p>Dont do Drugs...Dont Drink (till 21).</p>
<p>Posters of hot girls</p>
<p>.....</p>
<p>Girlfriend would not like that to much</p>
<p>i have a periodic table looking think of drinks, a beer pong poster with every rule printed on it with a bracket under it for a tournament, a poster with quagmire sayings, and then one with cliche saying about college(4 year party with a 100k cover; 2 libraries, 20 bars..)</p>
<p>but the best one is the huge poster that says "RUSH ΔΥ. If you're going to pay for your friends, buy the cool ones..."</p>
<p>maps will be better than flags.
You will get tired of watching flags.but you can always find something new on the map</p>
<p>Yes but I love those two countries.</p>
<p>Map is a good idea</p>
<p>I went shopping for decorations with my roommate after we moved in. By the time we were done, we had a couple of Bob Marley posters, a giant poster of the Beatles, and some funny ones about beer safety.</p>
<p>eh posters are good but get creative. i found a pair of ram horns which we'll be hanging on our room loft. we also have license plates, signs, etc. get creative!</p>
<p>The guy next to my dorm had a stuffed armadillo with a cowboy hat on that was holding a toy gun. It's an idea.</p>
<p>Go with the American flag only. The Israeli flag is overkill. Let people get to know you first, without judging you based on an Irsraeli flag displayed on your wall.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. What if your roommate is a Palestinian 0.0</p>
<p>Lol...then they can both show an example to the world by living in peace. =]</p>
<p>The Israeli flag is overkill. Let people get to know you first, without judging you based on an Irsraeli flag displayed on your wall.</p>
<p>.......</p>
<p>The Israeli flag is my homeland....Ill put that up before I put the American flag up. </p>
<p>If I have a "Palestinian" roomate...Ill switch roomates</p>
<p>I would put the israeli flag up first.... What difference does it make if you are israeli or not... i personally would think it is cool that you would put up the israeli flag up... I'd be like... hey he's israeli and proud of it... I mean, everyone can put the american flag up... but how many can put up the israeli flag? Not that i dont like the american flag... its very pretty =]</p>
<p>I'd put up the Israeli flag first as well, personally. If someone had a problem with that, I'd openly invite the challenge. I've had a magen David (star of David) on my chest my whole life and I'd be damned if I let someone try and make me ashamed of that. I'd view the flag no differently.</p>
<p>You plan to switch roommates if you get a Palestinian roommate? Why not hold back from making any judgments before getting to know him?</p>
<p>It's also strange how he put "Palestinian" in parentheses.</p>
<p>I agree with those that say the Israeli flag is...I dunno. It's not just being proud of who you are, it's also political. And people's problems with the existence of the country are just. At the same time, you weren't the foreign country that came in and mandated Israel's existence, it wasn't your fault you were born there. You shouldn't be ashamed of your heritage just because of some decision that wasn't yours. Your political stance on the matter doesn't need to be an issue. </p>
<p>I guess it all depends how open and sensitive you are about the issue should you (in a relatively unlikely event) get a Palestinian roommate. But your comments suggest you'd just be a jerk, which makes me inclined to not really side with you. If you can't handle beefs with your flag maturely and not get personal, you should not put it up.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say you need to refrain from putting up an Israeli flag, but you won't get very far in life if you completely close yourself off from people who disagree with you.</p>
<p>I'm a Zionist, I love Israel, I have family there, and I've spent a lot of time there. That doesn't mean I have to hate Palestinians! I hope you don't end up with a Palestinian roommate for your roommate's sake, but some dialogue could do you a lot of good. One of the best experiences I've had in college was taking Arabic my first year. My class had a lot of heritage learners, so I learned a lot about modern Islam and the Arab world that I might not have otherwise. As a progressive, American Zionist, it was particularly interesting to talk to people who had a similar upbringing and political indoctrination to mine, but with the opposite slant. You'd probably find it the same, if you ever opened your mind enough to listen.</p>
