The descision reached about banning confed flags cuz they were disruptive stands for anything else that causes disruption, is that correct? Just want to make sure for future reference.

=l "People choose to take offense at it, therefore it caused disruption" by that logic ISIS is only causing global havoc because people consciously choose to be offended by their widespread terrorism, brutal torture of human beings, and YT videos of beheading children...no that's not how it works lol. I am under the impression that you are deliberately misunderstanding what it is I post here on this wiki, since it is not possible for a person to misinterpret what somebody says as much as you have. Therefore I conclude that it is deliberate misinterpretation designed to give the impression to others that you are superior minded to that individual which you intentionally misinterpret, or simply to troll that person which you are misinterpreting.

And, once again I state just as I have stated before, and as Keplers stated, that there is no comparison between the Confederacy and states such as ISIS and Nazi Germany. There is no record of the South torturing, beheading, or treating people cruelly. You will respond with a post saying "well, what about the slaves?" and I will respond with the fact that only 1/10 slave owners treated their slaves cruelly. Most slaves either joined the family they were serving under, taking that family's last name, or were freed. However, you are free to again disagree or misinterpret that which I tell you.

I do encourage you to keep in mind that simply because you grow up hearing one thing does not mean that that is necessarily true, and that it is wise to seek out both sides of the coin. The internet I would not recommend as a source for study; a local library which has biographies and autobiographies of people who lived during the Civil war and that general time period would be the best place to go to.

No, you're actually misinterpreting my statement. I wasn't comparing my example to the Civil War at all in any way; but was comparing it to your statement which I restated in quotation marks. That should hopefully have been easy enough to notice.
