re: Let's get one thing straight regarding this confederate flag brouhaha

quote:

---

I get offended when Americans in South Texas support Mexico over America with their stupid Mexican Flag. I get offended when the KKK fly the Confederate Flag. I get offended when European right wingers fly Nazi Flags.

These are statements, some personal, political and whatever else, and since I believe in freedom of speech, support their right to spew all the bullshite they want to, but there are places where it doesn't belong. Flying the Confederate Flag, the predominant symbol for racial prejudice in this country for the last 100 years, can be horribly offensive. I know some people don't get that, but whatevz.

Maybe you should use softer toilet paper if you're so butthurt.

Opposition to these flags gives them power, and by being offended or trying to ban something, you will only encourage it.

Very, very little offends me, because in the end: My offense offers nothing. Their argument will never convince me, and neither will your bitching, pussy attitude about cloth.
