Honey, it wouldn't surprise me if you had a Rebel flag tag on the front of your high school car. But as a student at Robert E. Lee, that would have just been school spirit, right?Honeybun, I went To Robert E. Lee High School! We were the Generals and our mascot was Uncle Bob...life size "replica" of Robert E. on wheels!Everytime we scored, the boys ran across the field with a big ol' rebel flag. Mind you, that was a looong time ago and the flag has been retired. Good good times.
it was all in funn wasn't it? any minorities attending?
Toots, we were dead serious. Football in Texas on a Friday night!
Ban rainbows if they had become symbols of hatred to homosexuals yes. If rainbow colors were proudly displayed as a gay male/female was dragged behind a pickup truck yes. What about an upside down cross on a license plate?Wow, this thread really has me stirred up. Skunky did bring a great point. It is a sensitive subject that like abortion is a dead end street.
The Confederate flag stands for those who died in the belief that they were going to make America better. There were blacks and whites who died for this cause, blacks even fighting for the South. I dont feel that the Confederate battle flag should be discriminated against because of the behavior of KKK or extremist groups. We should not blame the flag for its misuse, because the flag is not the enemy.
Think: A rainbow....wow how many meanings that this symbol has....
So, would it be wrong if somebody wanted to BAN rainbows because they hated homosexuals or Christians??
- to a child - it is a beautiful magical thing, look for a pot of gold, St. Patricks Day,
- to a homosexual - it has been used to identify their group in the form of flags, stickers, etc
- to a Christian - it is a symbol that God's promise that He will never flood the Earth again
I guess we can argue back and forth giving examples. Just because I like the flag does not mean I am driving around with a noose in my car...:roll:
Yes, the flag was made by man to stand for something but that something is in the eye of the beholder. I just may go ahead and get myself a flag tag but from what I have digested from comments on this thread today then prejudice would take place or perhaps a keyed car.a rainbow is nature. it is not a symbol of anything but beauty, unless a certain group, whether religious or other, uses it as a "logo". a confederate flag is made by men to stand for something. this is like saying that nature is comparable to a symbol of racism.
if you wanna fly it, please do so with pride, and may there be no prejudice against you for doing so!
I know not from you Toots
but from others....(not saying anyone on this board)I want one!!!I would honk for a Miss Kitty tag
(we could have funn with this one....)
