actually you are not getting it...where the flag was made or what it cost is irrelevant.
what it stands for is....and a little public humiliation is a long way from a lynching which is where I bet the sensitive here will take this..lol
I have gotten into fistfights over words and shucks words don't hurt right.
Melas, don't try to defend that. You have publicly admitted here you fight a bit too
Gee... what nice, respectable people...
Exactly why I find it so abhorent. I don't fight a bit, I fought (past tense) a lot. A distinction I believe to be profound. I've got a face scarred by violence and memories of drinking a 5th to go to sleep because my hands were so swollen and painful that I couldn't sleep otherwise after pounding some poor bastard until I didn't have the breath to pound on him anymore. Consider me the militant ex-smoker of brawling.
