I don't care but the Mods killed the flag thread while I was posting my comment.

    And to think I thought the forums were on Zombie Autopilot. No help to be had when the pages were not serving correctly, a low and behold out of nowhere a mod appears.

    I think there are two different "issues"; content and operation. The content can be buried, deleted or authorizations allowed or denied by someone who has no idea how it works while the how it works and how to fix it is handled by someone else.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I started the thread that got pulled. I'm very surprised that the mods pulled the thread.
    That was a ligament news story. It is a hot topic on local new-talk radio. The video itself is not offensive. The comments by our forum members were well though and expressed. What's wrong with hearing and reading different points of view in the off-topic thread?
    So now speaking about the Confederate battle flag is now offensive? 
    So freakin' what if it's a sensitive topic? 
    I understand that white supremacist tainted the flag by using it as a symbol.
    NOT once in my entire life have I looked at the Confederate battle flag and thought a racist thought.  NEVER.
    The South, Civil War,  Ole Miss Rebels and Dukes of Hazard pop in my mind way before a racist symbol enters my thoughts.

    Regarding the flag issue, talk show radio here had some interesting comments. Basically every flag has some baggage. The discussion included how what was a fact of life in one era is simply not correct, politically or otherwise, today. The Confederate flag not only stood to retain slavery, it also stood to not surrender the reins of government to the north - all the elements of a true civil war. During WWII, under the Stars and Stripes the basic citizenship rights of American citizens with Japanese or African heritage were denied. Some rights were denied into the '60s. In Canada, it was under our flag of the day we seized the assets of Canadians with Japanese heritage, refused to allow a boatload of Sikhs entery or some say, committed genocide with our residential school system.  
    Even the Union Jack allowed slavery until 1833, and in the century that followed flew over the political and financial "rape" of India.
    If some whack job took any of these flags to be his symbol and committed a crime under them, does that mean the flag should now stand only for that action?
    (not my words - just the gist of the radio show comments)

    If we simply title the thread "devestated" it makes all content in invisible to mods.  Thousands of offensive and political posts; anything goes.  We could probably even talk about the colonel...
