Attaboy, snipey.... hang on to your values. Im tired of all these politically correct, granola-eating treehuggers whining, pissing and moaning. Thanks for reducing the size of your banner.


(Now for a rant)

Whether one agrees with the confederate flag being displayed or not, it is part of American history and should not be forgotten. Look at the Nazi battle flag and the rising sun flag. They played in integral part in world history and yet they're now shoved into closets since so many people have bitched and whined that they can't be displayed in public.

The very people that whine about freedom and equality are often the first in line to enact legislation forbidding it. Everyone wants to be treated equally, unfortunately some just want to be treated more equally than others. It seems that you can say and do as you like, as long as no one is offended. I say grow up and stop being such babies. If someone is a member of the Klan, or some Neo Nazi group, if they're Buddhists, Catholic, Protestant, Yankee, Redcoats, Bluebloods, Redneck, Liberal, Democrat or a member of some other special interest group, so freakin' what. They should be able to worship, congregate or demonstrate whereever and whenever they want, as long as it's within the confines of the law.

I seem to recall that one of the first mods I saw for BF1942 was the "historically correct flags" mod. I never noticed until I looked into it. What a stupid thing to have to worry about. Although I personally don't support Hitler's values or beliefs in relation to ratial purity, I do support anyone else's right to believe as they see fit. Isn't it odd that the first thing most gamers complain about is a lack of realism or historical accuracy. Let's face it, due to polical issues, you can't have it. Things are omitted and often removed to avoid public outcry.

You don't have to like or support someone else's values or beliefs, but true freedom means allowing others to hold those values and beliefs. Remember that "Right" and "Wrong" are often dependent on which side of the fence your standing. I'd rather know the whole truth than have it hidden from the masses to spare someone's feelings. History is difficult enough to document without the truth being perverted or twisted to become "PC". WWII was ugly, the US Civil War was ugly. Hitler's master plan was an abomination. Slavery was absolutely inhuman. Nonetheless, they should not be forgotten. Today's youth need to know exactly how horrible it was, no matter how graphic or unsettling. They should know the truth and decide for themsleves what they believe. That's freedom.
