Slavery existed for thousands of years.
You weren't offended by it until liberals told you to be.

Slavery exists as much today as it has done in the past. I presume you are taking a stand against it and refuse to buy any slave labour produced products? No, thought not......

Quite insulting that in your admittedly limited opinion that just because someone lives outside of the US they have an impinged understanding of what when on before and during the Civil War. Again, a typical leftist response.
Generally, I find you get a clearer view of a subject when you step back and approach it impartially........

However, I'm realising just how much I don't know about the present situation and the history of the flag.
As an example, I was amazed that the Confederacy only lasted 4 years!
I'm sure there are good arguments for and against which I and most Brits know eff-all about.
As such, I will now keep my gob shut about it til I know more

I thought you were Scottish, living in scandinvia?

I think the flag has been adopted by people the world over, for different reasons though.

Yes Pete, a proud Scot who now spends half his time in Bonnie Scotland and half in almost as bonnie Norway.

Not sure what that has to do with how people view whats happening in the Southern States?

Maybe I feel I have an affiliation with the Rebel South, Its always appealed to me.

Over the last few years Ive held a Training Position in Mississippi and it often takes me to Louisiana and Tx.

It always Bananarama! me off when the limited intellect doo-gooders claim the South as all about Slavery when less than 1% of the South owned Slaves and President Lincolns own Wife owned them. Lincoln himself planned to ship all the coloured to the Caribbean Islands after winning the war but by then they where broke so that idea was shelved.

There is nothing worse than a brain dead leftie, they are even more dangerous than a Nazi, a Nazi is predictable and therefor controllable. A Leftie will twist and turn with whatever breeze thats blowing,,,,,,,,

There is also to many little boys here who have spent a limited time, if any outside of the UK let alone in the US to give a real prognosis to what they claim is 'fact'.
