Farrakhan, who's been irrelevant since the 90s?

No, the US Flag stands against what the Confederate Flag stands for, so there's no worry about a slippery slope there.

What was that rule that got posted up recently about the answer to any article or opinion piece posed as a question?

Betteridge's Law of Headlines

Incidentally about the exact same question.

A fascinating post, I was riveted by the usage of the word "Edit".

I remember a similar rule applying to tv shows for a different reason. A show called "So you think you know how to dirve?" used to show in the UK; its idea was to show people who thought they were good motorists that they were not.

But it didn't get watched that much and one theory is that casual viewers looked at the title and just mentally answered "Yes I do" and watched something else.

But let's see what the spirit of this is before it dies off. What possible reason would the kind of people wanting the Confederate Battle Flag removed- regardless of the rights or wrongs of that debate- have to ban the Stars and Stripes?

Apparently you cant have a question mark in the thread title or did you not read what ush said?

Removing the question mark doesn't actually stop it being a question- it just makes it a badly punctuated question.

Regardless, the point was to get across that this appears to be a ridiculous worry that I would like explained.

I wasn't being serious. Anyways speaking of flags on the radio I heard a cop was either punished or even fired for posting a picture of himself on Facebook(or one of those sites) wearing boxer shorts with the confederate flag on them.

Have trouble believing that is true, but iirc, civil servants are obliged to stick to a code of conduct even when off duty, so maybe.

But if true, good, one less racist cop in America and that police department can use the money saved from his salary to hire another cop who hopefully isn't racist. win/win

What is happening with the Confederate Flag is not in the same vain as the American flag.

Nope, that's stupid. Next question?

The American flag will change when we get another state, and not before. It's a very, very different symbol than the confederate battle flag.

So wearing a pair of shorts with that flag on it AUTOMATICALLY means your racist? Must be nice to have the ability to see what a person is really like by looking at his shorts.

And I didn't think there was no such thing as a NON RACIST Cop.

No questions marks at the end....Did I do good?

This thread is a mess.

Says the guy who thought the American flag would go the way of the confederate flag 😄
