I've had that flag hanging with people of all ethnicities over at my house. My grandfather taught me all the positive things it stood for and wasn't til I was much older did I realize people use it for hate. One day my kids will be proud of that flag and the south. Anything can bring bad in something good and vice versa. Stars and Bars!

Kind of laughable the company that has Chinamen working for 4 cents a day for 16 hours and jumping off balconys so they won't have to make 600 Iphones a day Suddenly thinks it is being sensitive.

Apple cares enough to pull apps, but not enough to keep their business in America.

Because most of the people who will be upset by it are too broke for it to afford Apple products, meanwhile Apple stands to potentially strengthen its iron grip on wealthy liberals who can't figure out how to use a real computer.

You must be new to the Shroomery.
It doesn't matter if every argument has been made, people will just keep arguing the same points over and over until a mod locks the thread.
Then someone will make a post asking why it was shut down when there was a legitimate discussion being had. That will get maybe to page 2 before it's shut down as well.
Then if it's a really good day someone will make a thread asking why the "why did xxxxx thread get shut down?" thread got shut down.

I noticed that some people on this thread think that the South went to war over slavery. That is inaccurate.
The Civil War-1861
The Emancipation Proclamation-1863
Now who was arguing that it started over slavery?

The Civil War was about slavery. It was about "states' rights" insofar as it was about whether or not states should have the right to uphold the legal institution of slavery. The southern states said yes, the northern states said no, and the southern states got knocked into line.
I'm not saying southerners shouldn't be proud of their heritage and history, because all of that happened a long time ago... nobody alive today bears personal responsibility for the evil of legal slavery. But it is, in fact, a thing that happened, it's something by which we're all still being affected today whether we've benefited from that legacy or not, and if you don't face up to your history, you're going to act a damn chump.
