Should they get the old one with the big Confederate Flag emblem on it again or keep the new one?
 
Get rid of whichever one is the Confederate flag, I have no idea what they're crying about down there now...always worried about their flag being taken away. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm waiting for the Bush talk about Affirmative Action...about time someone spoke out about it...and it looks like he's got a bug up his ass to abolish it.

Cheers for him.
 
I just say it was their heartage because they are the south and its the south and they should have the people vote for it not the congress or what ever govt. people did. If they still vote for the new flag it should be stoped then and no more arguing yall get my point in this
 
Or course it should be up to the people, and I think the vote will be respected.

But it just seems every year some group in the south starts crying about their symbols or whatever being taken away.
 
im not gonna replay to that dont want to have a redo of the other night you know:D
 
aint i aint gonna reply to your replay to my non replay if i worded that right
 
I think it's all a load of crap about the flag. Someone says it's racist, someone else says it's their heritage. Two sides of an issue that should be decided within the state itself.........why should I, living in CA, have anything to say about it? Keep it, abolish it, or comprise about it.......then leave it alone. This is periodic fight is getting very old.:(
 
i know I like it its the south heritage but enough with it
 
Yeah, and the Puerto Rican flag is a symbol of their heritage. Should there be Puerto Rican flags flying everywhere?
 
Not even going to vote on this poll.

Our new Governor, Sonny Perdue, made a campaign promise to adress the issue if elected. He now pomises on a NON-BINDING referendum.
Let Georgians speak with their vote. Then we'll see what happens.

Don't worry, Kat. If that vote doesn't go the way Al Sharpon thinks it should, he will be there with sirens screaming!:rolleyes:
 
What about the American Flag pettyfan?

American culture is disappearing because of people like this crying about not being able to fly their flags, or have their special symbols everywhere.

American culture is disappearing because everyone thinks they're entitled to more rights than everyone else because they're a monority.
 
Geeze, Paul.........we must be in the Twilight Zone!!:) I'm agreeing way too much with you.:D
 
i like the american flag you can fly that every where but i think that in the southern states that fought for the south should be allowed to fly their flag
 
lets just drop this paul so we dont argue no more i aint in the mood for it cause i have to cut up a lot of wood for this snow storm we are about to get so if we lose power we can have heat cause from that ice storm a while back there are a lot of tree limbs hanging over lines and if we get a wet heavy snow were screwed
 
The Southern states are more special? And deserve more privliges because they think they're different?
 
thanks the weather men dontknow whats gonna happin thats the scary thing i think it is gonna be a big one it jsut looks like it will be about 14 inches tome

Paul, I am a true Southern Girl, and I think this is the biggest bunch of crap. That is all I have to say about this entire subject. South vs. North was a long time ago. It is HISTORY. Let's leave it there and move on as AMERICANS.
 
HA HA HA This debate is beganing to sound like a broken record.
 
lol oh well time will tell about that flag ordeal i aint gonna complain too much cause it aint my state
 
If the Confederate Flag is in part of a state flag, I see no reason at all to change it. If its been like that for 100's of years, why change it now? Doesn't make sense....

And no, Southerners don't think they are special and deserve more than anyone. If you ask most of them, they would rather be left alone and let them do their own thing. But Southerners have to live with the sterotype of racist, hillbilly, rednecks who salute the Confederate flag anytime they can. And most of the crap comes from people who have never even been in the South.

And as far as the Puerto Rican flag thing......Anyone been to Northern Virginia recently? Take a drive down Rt 1 just outside of Washington D.C......Compare the amount of American stores to the amount of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, and other cultures. See what flags are being flown......I'm sure its just as bad or worse in Florida and California. But no one makes a big deal about that. No one complains when a new resturant called El Pollo pops up. You try to go to El Salvador, get a government loan, and open a Fergy's Fried Chicken........It ain't gonna happen.

I don't understand why all the negetive remarks about the South are coming out. For those who have never been there, you are truely missing something. If you are walking in the mall or even driving down the road, people say "Hi" or "How are you?" even if they don't know you. Men open doors for ladies, push their chairs under them when they set down, get up and let a lady set down.....The women will make sure you are comfortable...if need need something to eat, they will get it, if you need something to drink, its done. Most people go out out of their way to help you one way or the other.

Its not the racist world that you see on TV or in the movies everyday. Its nice, laid-back and relaxing. But some people think that the highschools have a cross burning class and you are issued a white robe when you graduate. But that's the picture they get when they see all of this crap about flags.

Bottom line is, people are going to complain about anything and everything anyway. I think we have more important things to worry about that what is in a flag.
 
Pretty damned insightful fergy.:beerchug:


As to why it becomes a big deal.........wonder if it isn't the politically correct thing to do. Some here claim they are not PC, yet they will jump on the flag thing in an instant.:)

You'd think you were part of Mexico with the Mexican flags flown everywhere here.:D
 
The people who live in Georgia should decide on thier own flag.

Like it or not, the south is undergoing a revitalization, and has been since the industrial revolution. As for the south being left alone, they encourage the industry, commercialism, home building and any other form of money making by inviting others to live or do business in the "south".

The negative remarks about "southerners" come mainly from the posters here who lay claim to being "southern" or from "southerners" themselves. Note several past posts on this website wherein humor is made of the way "southerners" speak, customs, fettishes, mannerisms, etc.. The south has Jeff Foxworthy, making millions in comedy while ridiculing and encouraging the stereotypical redneck, leading people who are not knowledgeable of the south to believe this is the everyday lifestyle. That is partially where the negativism comes from.

As for "southern hospitality", this is nothing new. This still exists among people living anywhere who have been taught common courtesies. Men still respect women but in some cases must almost fight to open a door for them thanks to NOW. Respect is shown in every state and people rally around in times of distress for thier fellow man. These things are not indigineous to the south.
For those who think they are, look around at your surroundings. If you live in the city, any city, north or south, people DO NOT take the time to say "hello", yet in smaller communities, they still do.
When "southerners" are offended, is it because they themselves cannot agree on what a "southerner" really is. Many use the rebel flag as a sign without really knowing why. Or is it a sign a war was lost years ago when our country, yours and mine, was divided and there was a victor in a war neither side really wanted. There is nothing wrong, absolutely nothing, in telling your children of thier heritage, pride or faith in the causes of that travesty.

Yes, the south is a good place to live, as was the small town in New Jersey. They all have the local customs, and they all have traditions, and these should never be lost. But in being proud of them, we should do so for the right reasons. All the pontificating while trying to make others think the south is unique, it isn't.

But it does consist of a proud people, a strong heritage combined with generational backgrounds, working in concert with all other sections to build this nation into the strong country it is today. This alone does not make a "southerner" any more or less respected than anyone else. Despite all the confusion, it seems we all want the same thing.
 
Fergy, you say that it's wrong to see all those Mexican flags everywhere and I agree. But the Mexicans think they are entitled to more rights, and if they can't fly their flag then they are being disrespected.

That attitude is no different than the one the people in the South fighting about their flag have.

There is absolutely no difference between the two.

And, I lived in the South for years. :)
 
But the South is part of the US....;)

And for the record I never said Mexicans...I used the term "Hispanic"......;) :D

Gotta make sure I'm P.C.
 
For who?

That's my point though...the South is part of the US...why care more about the Confederate flag more than the American Flag? Why separate ourselves into all these different fringe groups and stuff?

That's the problem as I see it, American culture is disappearing because everyone wants to put themselves into a group and demand more rights than everyone else...the poor minorites.
 
I was kidding about the PC part....:D

I don't think they care more for the Confederate flag the the American flag...If you look at the few places it still flies, It flies underneath the US flag and the states flag.

Its just a tradition. And another thing for the record, and I know you didn't say it, but the Civil War wasn't fought over slaves. If you check the history books, you'll see that one of the major ports they slaves were brought into was in New York. Last I check, that wasn't in the South.

Anyway, like I've said before, we have more important things to worry about......

Jr needs to find about 1 mph to catch up with Jarrett......;)
 
I understand...but what does it represent? Does it seriously represent the Civil War? Why is the Civil War still so important?

I walk around where I live and everything is written in freakin Spanish, TV up here has 10 Spanish channels. People aren't required to learn English and everything gets handed to them.

Yet they still cry about their rights being violated constantly. They think they are special, they think if they can't parade through the streets and fly their flags on a daily basis they are being mistreated. They are right when they say their flags represent a great history for them, and that nothing can take that away. Which is all I'm hearing from some people here about the Confederate Flag.

Can someone explain the difference? Besides saying that Puerto Rico isn't a part of the country?

If anything, we should be less tolerable of our own people being divisive and trying to separate.

I know this is all horribly politically correct of me...but I really can't help it. :rolleyes:
 
Dude, I'm with you....sometimes I'll pull over a car and ask for a licencse and the guy driving can't speak a lick of English. Yet he's lived here for 10 years and has a driver's license. Last year, even the Washington Post started print some of its articles on soccer in Spanish. My subscription ws cancelled in record speed.....

I guess its just because the flag has been part of the South for such a long time. Maybe that's why its so important to people.
