Re: So I guess some people think symbols/posters should be banned.
unfortunately, for people with no understanding of the history of that symbol, they would think that. However, I don't see how this proves or supports your point.

I was just trying to illustrate that because you know 3 or 5 or 50 peopel that use the flag is an awesome way doesn't mean that many more don't use it in a hateful way. I can't prove that it's more often used as a symbol of hate than non-hateful pride. I'm just telling you that that's my opinion based on empirical evidence.

[ QUOTE ] Go to dollywood and get a bigger sample set. [/ QUOTE ] Given your recent stupidity I can't even give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are joking. [/ QUOTE ] Haha, I'm not. From your previous comment I assume you meant everyone that sports the stars and bars = racist. Some of your previous arguements have been equally extreme by equating it (in the absolute sense) to incest. Both assumptions are dumber than anything I've done in this thread IMO. It's all about context, context, CONTEXT!!!!! Your question on IRC about the swastika was also a poor one. You gave me no context. "is the swastika a hate symbol? 1 word only wacki!!! yes or no!". At least you agree on a native american indian it isn't. I've never been to dollywood but i've met tons that do go. To them that flag is a cultural icon. Hell even blacks wear it at dollywood. So some it's political, to others it's simply a symbol of a way of life. (i.e. country music) It's a petty cause, but a harmless one none the less. There are many other legit reasons to sport this flag. To claim they are racist is just wrong.

Re: So I guess some people think symbols/posters should be banned.
Holy [censored] did you just called this arguement
[ QUOTE ] Go to dollywood and get a bigger sample set. [/ QUOTE ] stupid and then follow it up with something this goddamn dumb? [ QUOTE ] I'm not refusing to see anything. I'm tryign to aggregate it. If I started signing valentine's cards with "[swastika] Evan" because I was using it as a symbol of love, would that make it not a symbol of Naziism? [/ QUOTE ]

Is there some sort of pride associated with experiencing people with "da flag"?

[/ QUOTE ] SOrry I couldn't come up with one as accurate as "supporting country music".
