How is the flag offensive? It's on toys that are sold all over (General Lee) and is part of a number of southern states' flags.

one by one all of those are being contested or removed for exactly the reason I'm talking about. its still out there tho ur right

the most offensive things by far are the things that you can't stop, or even regulate. stupidity. inanity.

You ignored my post above, I stated my position...

"I think all serious attacks on people because of their race, religion, or sexual preference is offensive and pathetic...

The only thing that is worse are those that defend one and allow another, it shows a total lack of integrity."

Funny you don't seem to support my position.

Do you support anti-Christian threads?

Basically, people see what they want to when they look at it. A lot of southerners look at it with pride because they associate it with the south's rebellion against the north's political dominance. It seems people with more liberal views want to see it as a racist symbol. Lincoln didn't start the war to end slavery, only the spread of it. The south rebelled because they felt their rights were at stake. Granted, the right to own slaves isn't exactly the most noble thing to base a war on, but at the time it was normal and was how their lives and businesses were structured.

I agree with the bolded part.

who is defending one and allowing another? its not analogous.

one is a discussion thread with debate on all sides, one is an avatar offending with every post.

the equivilent would be a username "God Sucks" with a Piss-christ avatar. and yes, I would find that offensive (even tho I'm not religious ).

While we're at it, can I petition admin to remove the Irish tricolour from peoples' profiles as well as many in the UK deem this to be a symbol of Republican terrorism and as such people sporting said symbol as condoning IRA terrorism / bombings against mainland UK.
