I said the Confederacy was, and that flag represented that... Just gonna point that out here and now... If I rember correctly, you said that The Confederacy was comparable to Nazism, and that by sympothising with them, I was a horrible person. How much more so for the people that actually fought for the south and paid the price in blood? Who supported the cause to the point of giving their lives for it? If The Confederacy were truly the 1800s KKK you make it out to be, how evil must those people be? A cause and the people that support it are intertwined, and inseperable in terms of morality. By calling The Confederacy evil and racist, you call the people that support it evil and racist. Your argument is flawed. You reject the comparison of the Confederacy with the nazis with the reason that there are people who support the Confederacy and that these people can't all be evil? There were just as many people who fanatically supported Hitler.

Pah, nazi comparisons are never fair.

That wasn't my argument, Sinth, I was simply responding to Heart's statement that "The Confederacy was horrible but the people weren't."
