Re: Controversy over symbols and racism .

I was also little pertrubed by the fact that in front of the entrance there was large sign telling the patrons that they didn't discriminate due to race or creed. Really? No [censored], because I didn't think you were allowed to, even if you wanted. But thanks for letting me know. [/ QUOTE ] People probably get confused by the Confederate flags.

Shajen, I can live, quite happily, without anything you mentioned (most of which I do live without). As for what has the South done to me? My response would belong in politics, but I am sure you can figure out how a California liberal might answer. For an oot response, the South has unfortunately produced Jeff Foxworthy, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, GitRdone, Nascar, the KKK, Cracker Barrel, Get Crunked Rap music, Lil Jon, a celebration of ignorance, the worst socio-economic disparity in the country, Britney Spears, people who watch Everyone Loves Raymond, overalls, an acceptance of intelligent design as a viable scientific theory, Master P, pimp cups, platinum teeth, higher healthcare costs due to obesity, and Toby Keith. I can come up with a lot more, this is just off the top of my head. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, there are some [censored] up people down this way, I ain't gonna lie. There are also some good people down here. I'm not a fan of judging an entire region based solely on the characteristics of a smallish group of morons. Regarding the flag and the symbol: I don't give a damn what other people do, as long as it doesn't effect me or my way of life. What they do on their own time/dime is their business. (Did I get the thread back on track?)

Re: Controversy over symbols and racism .
Shajen,
You have to realize I'm not being completely serious. While those are mostly pieces of pop culture I dislike, they provide me with a great source of humor. There are some really, really nice people in the South. I actually had a conversation with a police officer without having him be condescending or an [censored] (pretty shocking for me). The South has also produced some damn fine music, good booze, and some fun times. I imagine going to college in the South would be a fun experience, although living there my whole life (or any period of real life since college doesn't actually count) would be next to impossible for me. Every area has good people and [censored] people.

If California attempted to scede from the nation and lost would it be acceptable for us to proudly fly a flag representing our hair-brained idea? [censored] no. [/ QUOTE ] Ugh... a little history lesson. California is completely different than the of South of 1864. Jefferson Davis never went to trial for treason. The reason why is because the north was afraid what would happen in the courtrooms. Not that boneheaded.
