yes they employ a lot of people but many many of those people only get paid minimum wage which is not nearly enough to live off of

So just because it's unfair otherwise you think that a country formed to protect slavery should be celebrated?

Actually I disagree. I think that slavery was far and away the biggest factor in both secession and the war. Yes it was about state rights, but the state right that was by far the most important was the ability to allow slavery. Because of this, I highly doubt that the Confederacy would quickly abolish the institution that it was created in large part to protect. Sure they might have abolished slavery a few decades later, but definitely not within a few years. All that I'm saying is that people shouldn't celebrate a nation that was created in large part to continue the institution of slavery.

im sorry but I don't really understand that. Why would you wear something that you don't support? That doesn't really make too much sense to me

ok. That's fair. But many of the supporters/users of the confederate flag use it in support of what it represents, not as a reasonable reminder of the history

but celebrating it? Not forgetting our history and the war are all great but I don't think that we should celebrate a state that was formed to protect the right to own slaves

kyr I see what you're saying, but to many people the confederate flag gives a message of hate because the confederacy was formed over the issue of slavery and many modern hate groups also employ the confederate flag

hicorynut2 you do realize that the south secceeded and the civil war started because the south wanted slavery to continue while the north did not

Unfortunately, because a whole lot of good it did us. The crusades, the holocaust, ISIS

that was the only thing that I hesitated to support

why?

No. Most guys actually don't like insanely skinny girls, just girls who don't have excessive fat. The real problem is that it's socially acceptable for girls to totally out guys down because there short, and guys can't politely say no to a heavier girl. Being overweight is something that can be unhealthy, and it's always possible to lose weight. That's not the case with being short, as you can do absolutely nothing to grow taller.

i know. I'm saying why what you said shouldn't offend anybody

really. You would rape somebody if it was socially acceptable. Like that's something you would do?

but you're not explicitly unattracted to him physically? Right?

how is stating the fact that many people believe that there is no proof for God and therefore don't believe that God exists is damaging or offensive?
