ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Smith, I'm from Boston, Mass origionally, probably *the* most liberal area of the country and Confederate flags don't bother me in the least! I don't look at them as a "racist" symbol just the flag that "The South" carried during the Civil War. But, I have thick skin and I believe in freedom of speech. If someone wants to fly it fine by me! I don't like to see the "U.N." flag flying in this country but I don't tear it down when I see it. It's called "diversity" and having an open, progressive mind. Why are people who are so easily "offended" so closed minded? It's quite obvious why that flag doesn't bother you. But, since you can't speak for an entire race of which you aren't a part, that's not relevant. "It's quite obvious why that flag doesn't bother you." Oh? And why is that? Well I certainly can't answer for smith, however, I can answer for myself. You seem to be intelligent and are one of the few posters I actually pay attention to.
