CR&PW&JB, it must be obvious by now to the majority of those following this thread that you provide logical well thought out and helpful discussion and the other party is illogical, argumentative, inconsiderate, and, despite professing an education, not very bright. It is also interesting that Tennessee Cutty is so quiet. After all this expenditure of energy, tell us, TC, what's your decision?

Saying your somewhat of historian with your credentials is like saying your somewhat of a Doctor, because you volunteered at a hospital. Being a Historian is not a title you give yourself, and I'm sure tour guide school was very intense and all, how long was it btw?

No I have a BA in History, not European (hell I doubt any school even offers that), I just said my specialty was European, meaning I took more credits in European than Civil War (which was a close second). Would you like to see a copy of my transcript, I can give you my MS in Education, and most of my course work for my PsyD. (btw that would be you twisting words)

But we're getting way off topic arguing our credentials.

Now if you support his right to do so, you shouldn't be telling him he shouldn't do it. Warning someone and saying he shouldn't do it is absolutely empowering those that would take away his right. And to me is no better than doing it yourself. You of course have the right to disagree, but thats the way I see it,.

I see so your only addition to this discussion are insults, very mature and bright you really make your point and don't sound bitter at all. BTW if you actually read the whole thread you would have seen the OP had already made his decision, he was only asking where to get the decal.

You're being condescending again. It's a very unattractive quality, yet you keep at it.

I'm done talking about credentials with you. Let's just say that neither of us is educated enough to tell the other what to believe in regards to history.

Now, the bolded statement is where you are going wrong in this debate. You continue to confuse "rights" with whether it's a good or bad decision. You really can't see the difference ? That's astounding to me.

And you continue to tell me I'm condoning vandalism by warning him against the possibility of it. Seriously ??

Astounding to me also. That's the "not very bright" part I was referring to ... no amount of education is going to help there ...

You are its that simple, by telling someone not to do it because of the vandalism, you are empowering the vandals. And by constantly bringing it up and you are essentially trying to discourage him, and basically telling him not to.

I on the other hand respect his rights, and if his car is vandalized, well shame on the vandals, its not the owners fault, and that should not be a controlling influence on him doing it or not.

We obviously agree to disagree here.

Now the insults are starting to fly.

Looks, this is the OP's decision to make. I think we've all made our positions on where we stand perfectly clear by now.

Many feel that of the OP does add the flag he is asking for vandalism because he may offend someone. It's up to the OP to decide how much of a risk he wants to take in this matter.

Unless you can now add anything new that we have yet to see in this in this discussion I politely ask that you refrain from adding anything else.

If the debate over history, credentials and most anything else besides where the OP can obtain what he still may desire does not stop this thread will be locked.

Thanks

Since he averages less than a post per day, I think he just doens't frequent the board very often (given the outcome of this thread, probably a good thing).

It would be nicer if you didn't go around Projecting your views on to others, it's frankly quite rude.

Fire bombed by the NAACP? I don't think so. You completely misunderstand the NAACP. That is sort of like saying, "Beaten with axe handles by a roving band of intellectuals."

I went to college in San Francisco for awhile, visited there often, and now live about a 2.5 hours drive away. I've known and worked with gays. Of all the cities in the USA, SF would not be very high on my list of cities where I would expect a violent reaction to a political statement on a car. There are probably neighborhoods in SF where a MINI with a Confederate flag roof might get vandalized, but the Gay neighborhoods, or business districts would not be the places I would consider most likely.

Ever heard of a gang of gays going around bigot bashing? Violence is not their thing.

Post something controversial on an internet forum; expect opinions.

Yes, I had mixed feelings about that. It was funny, sad, scary, and annoying.

The Brits love to promote such negative stereotypes of America. It is sad that some ignorant folk obliged them. I wonder how much they had to edit that piece to make that program seem as one-sided as it was?
