Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Why are you debating something you don't agree with? To be a troll?
The southern mentality was apparently that they were special snowflakes that didn't have to follow the Constitution if it meant they couldn't own slaves.
WTF?
Now you're just flailing. I never said that. And furthermore you didn't address my point at all, but that is semi-excusable since you've got thirty people asking for clarification on your outrageous statements. These are usually good times to back away from the computer and actually think about what people are saying, rather than trusting to the post reflex.

Ok everything but the red part.
Do you really think a huge number of people are ignorant of what that flag means. They know it was the flag of the confederacy. They know it was fighting for slaves. But they use it anyway. Under your stance they are either Idiots or racists.
There is no other possibility.
For example that to them it means something else.

And it's delicious.
Because they're ignorant to what it means. It doesn't mean anything else. I can wave around a flag of my cock inside a cow's ass and say it represents my love of nature, but that don't make it fucking so.
so oppressed. I think that post should be reported for awesome, to ensure that the noble struggle of the south does not pass unnoticed by future generations
Way ahead of ya

This really doesn't seem to bother them. Especially since the majority of people that feel this way reside above the mason dixon line.
Also if you made a flag of your cock in a cows ass. That would be pretty awesome.
New England clam chowder, anyway. You can take that tomato soup Manhattan shit.
And by repeatedly not caring what anyone else has to say about an issue you have no personal experience with makes you (looks up definitions) ignorant and/or a bigot.
you're a gentleman and a scholar.
Ohh, BUUUUUURN!
1) Are you living in The South?
2) Are you now or have you ever been a cop?
3) Are you the relative of any cops?
4) Do you farm corn?
There's probably a few more, but that covers most of it I think. If you answered yes to any of the above you should probably just duck out now!
Now explain the bit where people born now with the benefit of all these years aren't scum for flying the flag of Protect Slaveronia.
Serious, serious mischaracterization of history going on right here (of course, I shouldn't expect anything less). It's not like Abe got elected and the next morning he suddenly decided slavery was awful. Slavery had been consistently and vigorously opposed since before the Revolution, and by 1850 the majority of the nation opposed it, but the South was able to resist majority opinion due to their admittedly masterful political manipulations, the particulars of which date all the way back to wrangling at the constitutional convention. The South wasn't told "it was just fine as long as they didn't expand it elsewhere"; non-expansion generally failed in Congress due to southern intrasigence, forcing compromises in which slave states would only be added to the Union if balanced by new free states (see: the reason Maine is not still part of Massachusetts).
But those principles are transparently hypocritical. No amount of whining is going to make me respect someone who thinks it's okay to take up arms to fight for one's right to exploit other people.

:edit: non-racist, non-nutjobs.
There's a big difference between just saying some shit and saying some shit that stands up to scrutiny. If there's one thing D&D is good at, it's some mother fucking layman's peer review.
