DUDES!I agree with you on all points. I also understand you liking the flag for non racist reasons. I do not believe the flag was ever a sign of racism until certain people deemed it a such. I support you wanting to have one .
We all know the flag we are taking about. The point is --- can you allow for the fact that someone might have an opinion that differs from yours - that isn't born out of evil or hatred? It is the highest form of ignorance and small mindedness and dare I say bigotry in some cases to assume that someone whose opinion differs from yours has to come from a place of evil. You foolishly make assumptions about me rather than simply trying to understand. Originally Posted by 5T3V3

Slavery was not a part of the civil war the way some may think. All that said I respect my fellow Americans that find it offensive so out of respect for them I do not own one. I thinks its amusing that Republicans accuse the flag of being racist and then defend the right to display it. Even if it did not have a racist stigma you would think they would see it as a revolt to their way of thinking. Remember it was the Republicans that demanded we be under one law. Also I will remind you the the Emancipation Proclamation only effected the confederate states, not the Union as if there is not enough evidence already to show there is no connection to the flag and slavery. IB is splitting hairs over the rectangle flag that is not actually a flag per se, to cover up the fact that he did not even know that it was not a Confederate flag Originally Posted by slingblade
You'd be the historically illiterate moron thinking the rectangular flag in question in SC simulates the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia -- which was square. Originally Posted by I B HankeringLeave it to IBIdiot to take a discussion and turn it into a monkey shitfight at the zoo.
DUDES!You're just being daft, that's about it.

You started a debate without even knowing what you were talking about. One that was not even relevant to the thread and just wont admit you have little to no knowledge about the topic. Crack up? 1st graders make better jokes than you.

It's like me saying that I like the Nazi flag because of their anti-smoking campaign, and therefore I should be allowed to use it whereever the fuck I want.
That's right, it was the civil rights movement. And people put the flag up to remind the black folks where they came from.
So, that's really the "history" of the battle flag. But please.....continue telling us how it represents nothing but love and bravery and yada-yada-yada...... Originally Posted by shanm

[COLOR="Black"][SIZE="4"]You were the historically illiterate moron that started a debate without knowing what?You do not make a lick of sense to anyone but yourself. Who gives a shit about something that was supposedly said that has no bearing on the thread. Do you ever stay on topic? All I see is you picking up crumbs of a sentence and running wild with them. There is no fucking rectangle stars and bars confederate flag, there is how ever some folks that have stretched the battle flag out to act like it means something and that was a portion of my point.
I did not start the debate nor did i derail it as you have

It's the rectangular flag used by the Army of Tennessee as stated, you "#Grubered", freelance faggot, Odumbo Minion from Arkansas; so, you're a bald-face, lying prick when you claim otherwise.

You'd be the historically illiterate moron thinking the rectangular flag in question in SC simulates the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia -- which was square.
