The Confederate Flag and CC

[ConfederateSS]

In fact the only part of The German War.That had any glimpse of being fought with Honor. Was The North African War ,fought under Rommel. Both sides treated each other's wounded with care. There were really no civilians in the area to be effected. Nothing but miles of sand.

Did you know that there are cities in North Africa? And they were there back in the 1940's too? And that they were fought over during WWII, and that actual civilians lived in them?

Bollocks.

-----Did you know,those people,The Desert People,mostly sided with The Axis forces? Most of the Major battles. Were the British and Axis forces chasing each other back and forth along the coastal road. Or in the middle of the Desert.Between Libya and Egypt. Most Commanders used the Stars,like a sea captain. To find their way. So damage to cities and civilian population was keep to a minimum. Except for The Island of Malta. Malta had the crap bombed out of it,by the Axis forces.But held out... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

I never quite understood why the loudest proclaimers of American patriotism fly the battle flag of a foreign state.

That's a lie. I know they do it because they are racist fucks. But I enjoy pointing out the irony.

so nice to hear the opinions of the prominent members of colour of the site, on this matter...-Jésus noir

------I like the fact that,Americans ,love Free Speech ...when it suits their views..Only their views. Then burn the very Flag. That gives them Free Speech.. In the name of Free Speech. Not caring for the people that died under That Flag or any other Flag with Honor. Or soldiers spit on by their fellow Americans. When returning home to a County they love. From a lost war. The Irony.
------The KKK burn crosses in the name of hate. Remove those evil cross symbols from our country. Burgermeister Meisterburger says no more crosses in the land. Because some stupid people use them the wrong way. Or large stupid looking head wear,like the KKK or Uncle Sam. They're a crime against fashion. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion). Or those who are offend by History past, when they are involved. But will play in the NFL making millions. On a team that slaps the Native Americans in the face(Washington Redskins). Without a second thought. ...Yes! FREE SPEECH...GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! OH! SAY CAN YOU SEE THE BLIND!!!!MONEY..MONEY..MONEY!!!

Your posts give me anxiety.

[owenshooter]

kind of typical CC fashion to not address something like this... doesn't shock me... arguments were made in the past about the offensive/racist nature of the confederate flag and it was considered an invalid complaint... guess those feelings must still prevail or they might have made some sort of official announcement, given the plethora of confederate flags that abound about the site... i don't have an issue with them on maps, just like the historic nazi monikers on maps.. i do take umbrage with the use of them in sigs, avatars, etc... but as long as CC's old rulings still stand, i'm not going to chase after individuals. this is something team CC should not address and just assume is going away. they could have dealt with it years ago when it was brought it, but they ignored it... the south isn't rising again and the confederate flag is offensive/racist..-Jn

[Neoteny]

Yeah. Being a privately owned site, they could and should remove racist and offensive symbols, but it seems CC is still content to be haven for racist and threatening people and opinions. Why they would stick to it even now is beyond me. The inconsistency is bizarre, but unsurprising. Things have not changed much, apparently.

Good idea! Avatars of Uncle Sam looking like a paranoid weirdo are definitely offensive, so they should be censored.

I'd also censor the black-racist depiction of Jesus used by a certain cyberbully on this forum.

And also you definitely need to censor avatars that dehumanize women, such as the one used by the OP.

[Neoteny]

Hey, this is classic 'Murica propaganda from WW2. If it should be censored, it's not because of its disrespect to Uncle Sam. Your second pseudo-complaint is nonsensical, and your final one I'll back you on.

Let's do this.

----- I said,there was an old saying THICK SKIN(meaning--not letting things get to you). I guess the world of today,is full of thin skinned people. I would be more worried of those. Who blend in with the crowd and don't rattle the cage. Before they go off. Anything can be used for any purpose.Good or Bad. ...THAT IS WHY FREE SPEECH IS SO IMPORTANT....
----- As for this site. IT is a WAR GAMING SITE. WHY DO PEOPLE COME HERE? TO BATTLE IN A WAR SETTING ATMOSPHERE. WHAT IS WAR? HISTORY!!! Weather real or fictional. So people should expect IMAGES and shades of WAR/HISTORY. AS THE NORM...If things upset people so easy. Maybe a Home and Garden site might be more their forte...
-----I know Americans don't like to hear THE TRUTH how we got OUR GLORIOUS COUNTRY(it makes them feel sick to their stomach,some turn their heads in disbelief)...THAT GIVES US FREE SPEECH...Maybe the only country that has such a Luxury and rite. As an American I WILL DEFEND IT...If you give Free Speech up. You will never get it back. When we start to ban this. Or censor that. We become our worst nightmare. That is what Hitler/Stalin/Saddam/MAO did. When you give an inch. They will take a mile. There will be nothing safe from scrutiny after that. I'm offended,no I'm offended,This offends me,no that offends me.Wait now this offends me. Wait something just happened,now this offends me. I'm offended ,so now I'm right and everyone has to do what I say. I don't care if that offends someone. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion).......

[Neoteny]

Yeah, I definitely can't.

[ConfederateSS]

-----As for the band wagon people(Like Wal-Mart etc.)... That dumb ass... Also had pictures on Facebook burning the Stars and Stripes...like a hippie or a collage know it all, or a draft dodger. Which I find offensive.But is allowed by FREE SPEECH. It has now been revealed. That that crazy person. Should never have passed his back ground check to buy a GUN legally...You know the thing used to kill the people. That no one is talking about. THE GUN...THE GUN... There was a break down of communication between local and federal agencies. During the gun buying process...Although this is AMERICA. I'm guessing if someone wants a gun that bad. They would have found a way. He was also taking drugs...Surprise... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...I also thought THE BRADY BILL of long ago. Made it 6 days of a waiting period to buy a hand gun. Thanks to gun supporters and companies. In Washington politician's pockets. I guess gun shop owners can now sell a gun after 3 days. It's nice we have policies set in place,and then overlooked. I also find The Labeling of us by The US Government offensive. Why can't we all just be Americans period.As people have said.This is The 21st Century. It says U.S. citizen on my passport..That's all. I see this latest act of Horror, as 9 people were killed by a crazy person. As a bunch of people were killed in,Columbine,Paducah,Jonesboro,West Nickel Mines,Newtown..etc..killed by crazy people. All horrific tragedies... Where can anyone go...anymore? School...Church...Sporting Events...I guess we all are going to have to use metal detectors and walk around in our underwear. When going places of mass gatherings of people. To feel safe....

I'd also censor the black-racist depiction of Jesus used by a certain cyberbully on this forum.

Why is a black Jesus racist? What depiction would be acceptable to you?
Also, do you believe the white, blue eyed Jesus is a racist depiction?

Bollocks.

[owenshooter]

oddly enough, my avatar is a very famous piece of artwork... please, go ahead and prove that it is racist in whatever it is your racist/twisted mind finds it so... good luck with that... also, "bully" is a bit strong... prove that one too, or i'd be careful throwing accusations and flames like that about in the forums. i eagerly await your C&A report concerning my avatar... the black jesus has once again silenced the ignorant majority...-Jésus noir

p.s.-even my old "Piss Christ" avatar was deemed non-offensive by the supreme court and that complaint got about as far as yours is going to get...

[40kguy]

The confederate flag was brought into play when the south decided to leave the US, then again during segregation times (I dont remember exactly when they used it, I just know it happened at some point) and the third time we see the flag in our nations history is when gays get the right to be married. If that isn't proof that it is used to support segregation then I don't know what is.

That being said the only way the confederate flag is a problem is if you let it be a problem. If you see the flag and just turn a blind eye and don't give the people that use the flag the attention that they want then they will stop using the flag.

my opinion and a lot of you probably disagree with it

[owenshooter]

The Supreme Court also approved Obamacare though. They obviously are just trolling you.

and your issue with healthcare for everyone in america isssssss? but you are right, the supreme court probably is just trolling me...-Jn

if only you had gotten to the german government before they outlawed the nazi flag and all nazi symbolism... imagine the time, paperwork and manpower you could have saved them... think of the saved court costs!!! i mean, your solution is bullet proof!! "hey, all black people living in the country that recognize the confederate flag as a symbol of hatred and racism... JUST IGNORE IT FLYING ABOVE STATE CAPITOLS!!! IGNORE IT IN STATE FLAGS!!! IGNORE IT ON LICENSE PLATES!!! IT WILL ALL GO AWAY IF YOU JUST IGNORE IT!!!".. what a wonderful solution to this issue...-Jn

hmmm... odd... didn't he make a huge documentary about paying for his old high school to have an integrated prom? seems like he didn't really stop talking about, so much as screaming from the roof tops about how insane and unjust and prevalent racism at his old high school still was... yeah, he was silent with a major documentary over the matter... great example!!!-Jésus noir

That is actually a racism act in progress that is segregating a minority. Raising a flag that is symbolic for racism is just trying to get rise out of people, if you don't give it to them then they will eventually stop using it.
