I thought the point was to get all the monkeys flinging dung.

No, I don't want to have a dung fest. I made a mistake by emotionally charging the thread but I'm running off of very very little sleep and I'm engaged in a rather stupid debate.

Basically, the arguement is that anyone that uses that flag is a racist hiding under the cover of heritage. That includes the states of Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, and I would assume Dollywood.

This topic first came up for discussion in the mod forum. I'm not going to replicate a 100 post thread for lots of reasons, not the least of which is I don't need to. Mat mentioned moving it to a public forum and wacki jumped on the idea by posting it here. I have no idea why he did that. If you want someone to fill in the holes, ask him, not me.

No, I would of made the thread anyway. I think anyone that is offended by any symbol without looking at it's context is misguided.

I also think that people who claim the confederate flag is about slavery need to look at those pictures, study history, and maybe even take a few road trips.

I also think that people who claim the confederate flag is about slavery need to realize that Kid Rock had a black drummer.

I really think everyone should get a FYP limit. Like 3 a month.

I'm not offended by anything in this thread. I'm not offended by real swastikas. I'm not offended by pictures of Jews being tortured in concentration camps. I'm not offended by nearly anything.

I don't know why you think I haven't spent enough time on google images to understand history, or why you confuse history with current events. If I find you 10 pictures of black people saying they don't like the confederate flag will that make me right? God damn you're an idiot.

I'm going to be in South Carolina next week for my fifth road trip to the south in the last four years. Can I please be considered as wordly as you are for googling pictures of the confederate flag? Give me a fvcking break.
