Namutree Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 In 10 years the American flag will be considered racist, possibly sooner. WOD this whole issue people have with changes to flags is really unnecessary, if you can be honest about the reality of the 2016 Lets be honest most people think a flag symbolically represents the nation, they place real value in it and think changes to it should only seen as negative. But what about changes to a flag to make it inclusive ? So changing the USA flag positive way would you support that? Like this? Actually if Puerto Rico ever votes to become a state we will get a new flag. Unless we kick one of the others out first. You know California has been a real pill to put up with lately. It would be pretty lulzy to kick out California only to keep Texas. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Wrath of Dagon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You see you are responding in a way where you think the USA is defined by the flag but please forget the flag for a moment Here is an interesting question, what defines the USA for you? What matters to you ...what would be unacceptable as a social change "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." I would add "rule of law" to that. If you want a longer answer, read "Tales of the South Pacific" by James Michener. Unfortunately we've already lost most of that, fools never realize what they have until it's gone. 2 "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Volourn Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 This Miwaukee nonsense is just more evidence that BLM is a rwacist anti white organization. Black guy gets killed by police, the Miwaukeeans start rioting and screaming about evil whitey, enriching them, murdering themn, and destroying, and whining about white police brutality..... yet it was a black cop who shot him.... LOGICZ. But, expecting logic from hateful racists is not logical. Anyone who supports BLM is racist, ignorant, or flat out stupid. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

I find it amusing, and a little ironic, that you define the US by something that, while important from a historical standpoint, isn't nearly as vital to making the US the US as, say, the Constitution (and not only because that, unlike the Deceleration, is something that still has an impact on the country and the laws since it's an actual legal document and the foundation that everything else is blog upon). Personally if I had to choose one thing to enshrine it would be the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.
