Re: Garbage on Facebook
Ah the confederate flag. It always amazes me how many people from Illinois have "southern pride." Bunch of dumb asses. Facebook is filled with how the flag stands for states rights and if the confederate flag stands for slavery and oppression how about the American flag?

Re: Garbage on Facebook
Man. I am FB "friends" with 772 people, and exactly zero of them have posted about how the Confederate flag stands for anything other than a war over the ability to own humans. What I'm saying is, you need to delete each one of those people and move somewhere else and make all new friends.IMADreamer wrote:Ah the confederate flag.

I don't post in Facebook but if your claiming that the civil war was about nothing other then slavery you need to read up on your history.heyzeus wrote:Man.

Of course. It was also about the North's attempt to deprive the southern states of their rights. The right to own slaves.Diddy wrote:I don't post in Facebook but if your claiming that the civil war was about nothing other then slavery you need to read up on your history.heyzeus wrote:Man.

It was about slavery, almost exclusively.

Taught.
Are you familiar with the term "historical revisionism?" The confederate states seceded because of the election of Abraham Lincoln, specifically because of his stance on slavery. This isn't conjecture, this was made explicit by the leaders of the confederacy.

Fortunately, someone a lot smarter than me went ahead and handily compiled the declarations of war that the secessionist states issued.

Re: Garbage on Facebook
I live in a very rural, very poor, very uneducated part of the world. They aren't bad people, they just aren't smart people. For the record my friends list has shrunk in half this year because I've deleted so many people. I've damn near deleted the my account twice but despite being the anti kid ass that I am I enjoy seeing photos of I guess what would have been my nieces and nephews playing sports and stuff because I don't get to be around them much any more with Nic being gone and all. So I keep my account for now. I haven't added any new friends in a couple years though. Just new people to eventually delete.heyzeus wrote:Man.
