250,000 ppl signed a Petition I hardly call that a hissy fit.. but you can say what you want. Your inability to run a simple search shows you have no idea of what you are speaking of.


Out of an estimated population of ~27,695,284?

Never mind havok. If he's the person I'm thinking of, he's got more issues than time magazine.

You know havok, if you can't handle someone else's opinion, maybe you shouldn't have so many of your own, dear child.

I've ran a simple search, many times. I just don't bother with crazy rightwing blogs or infowars. maybe you could try the same thing.

Again, I'm curious as to exactly what you're talking about. Starting to wonder if it's the same havok, who was nowhere to be found during tukayyid while I was working with the rest of CGBI to land them where they did.

No, it's not my doing, we all worked for it. But you? Never even saw your name. I sit alone because most of the time all there is on ts is mindless chatter, and I prefer to have my music over trying to distinguish the garbled voices that come through.

If you wish to continue the personal attacks, be my guest, but I'm not surprised that they removed you from roster.

Country? sure. State? not really. Texans are really the only ones you hear talk about how awesome they are because they are Texans. Southerners are can be prideful of being from "the south", but not really about their individual states.

Hell, people are more proud of the style of BBQ their area of the country has.



This is bizarrely wrong for many reasons. The confederate flag is a southern US thing. not a north american thing. and the history of North America is MUCH more than the US civil war. Honestly your comment here just screams ignorance.



again, this screams ignorance too. Of course the US has a culture and a history.



"...I was born in the USA."

That is all it takes to be an American.


Apols - not sure how to multi-quote (and thank you for making my day it work less boring!):

1. Sorry let me clarify - I meant North America the continent not the North of the United States. Understand how this is misleading - of course I understand that the confederate flag is a southern US symbol but should have specified this. However - if there is more to US history than the civil war - then why do so many cling onto it as a symbol despite its negative connotations?

2. Yeah OK if you want to word it this way, this is my ignorance - show me something unequivocally and unilaterally "American" because I can't think of anything at present that would be this. Be it an idea, a belief, and set of character traits (etc.) - I am genuinely intrigued.

For example Britain it would be something like monarchy, tradition, social etiquette, tea (!), queuing, binge drinking, etc.

3. Ironically you sort of proved my point - if all it takes to be an American is to be born in the US then there is no singular culture that binds America together at all.

Back to the original question, Texas is a state, not a country, therefore I don't feel their flag should be up until all countries are represented. As far as the Confederate Flag is concerned, they should only release this after all other country flags and then at the same time as the Rainbow Flag. Although the Confederates lost, so why are their flags still out there anyway? The Confederate flag should really go the way of the dinosaurs. I would personally be really glad if the US Senate passed a law treating the Confederate flag as a defeated symbol of hatred and outlawed it.

as far as i just read the confederate flag as known today was NOT the official confederate flag. it was a simple war-flag used by the main army.

it propably just symbolizes the southern pride and nothing else. nothing political anymore with that flag.

The southern cross isnt about hatred at all, nor was the civil war about slavery. That was an issue that got added as an after thought. The south made moves to abolish slavery long before the north did and the south released thiers long before the north did, including the north's top ppl such as lincoln and grant.

You think you know me, you make assumptions so easily. You're arrogant, you think I couldn't possibly know duff.

I met him shortly after the Jager was released... He taught me how to build it up, and he taught me alot.

He taught me, and showed me about MWLL... but I never got the time to join him. When I came back to mwo I heard he passed.

He was the only ******* person who I bothered to get to know here. But I know that he wouldn't want this. I know that he wouldn't want this drama ********. So I'm leaving it at this. Drop it, for him.
