I guess we'll need to agree to disagree.
I have a problem with the pro-slavery flag, just like I have a problem with the nazi flag. I'm confused though, because I thought the Nazis and the confederate slave owners were both defeated? In Germany, displaying a swastika will attract some serious trouble. In America, displaying the confederate flag mostly just lets everyone know that you're uneducated and/or a redneck, and there are no consequences. We like to think of ourselves as the land of the free, but when we tolerate the flag from those who went to war and even gave their lives to support slavery in America, we do ourselves a disservice. In my opinion, of course.

The only way possible to be the land of the free is to allow this type of freedom, while some may have a strong opinion against it (which is also their right in this country) you do not have to agree with it, but you have to accept it. In this case of the OP not liking tats on providers, it is his money and choice to not see them even give his opinion about them, but he will have his detractors and the drama cycle continues until folks either accept that others are different by cordial disagreement or avoid them entirely, or go see if there is another undiscovered land/country and make their views the law of that land.
