ORIGINAL: SeeksOnlyOne interesting points Ken i know wikipedia isnt known for being totally accurate-but this page seemed to be complete and showed many versions of what i consider to be the confederate flag. the designs changed somewhat but almost all incorporated the x with the stars, which is the part seeming to piss so many off. there is no pic on the op article that i could see....so my question is....would any version of this flag, with the x and stars, be acceptable to you? im really trying to see the other side here........cause as a chickie from the shout, i honestly just do not get it. Okay I have a really dumb question ... and I have read parts of this thread.... but I want to know if I am reading the quote right .. that the part of this whole thing ( besides the fact they are gonna put up a conf. flag ) is that it has an X with stars in it .... why does that piss anyone off.... its an X for god's sake ... and there are stars in it ???? I guess I don't understand ...... could someone please answer that for me .... I am having a brain fart :) peace It's a bit like putting up a three arce nazi flag,in the castro district in san francisco. That summed it up nicely.. thank you. We do have a local govt council that said Hillsborough would not host and have anything to do with any Gay Pride event ever again. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/06/16/Hillsborough/Hillsborough_bans_cou.shtml Thankfuly Pam, the City of Tampa's Mayor goes against it left and right. *bless her heart* ( She has been to my church- love her!)
