[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ [b]That's a really bad analogy, as the US flag represents a country which has existed for over 200 years, with a rich and diverse history - bombing Hiroshima is just a small part of that.[/b] The Confederate Flag on the other hand is the flag of a country that only existed for four years, and which whas created and which existed primarily for the purposes of asserting states' rights to continue to practice and expand slavery, and which did so at the expense of over 600,000 lives.[/quote] The flag represents the region of the country that has [i]only[/i] existed for 200 years. There is nothing wrong with the analogy, and you don't have to like it to admit it. There are dark days in the history of every country and every region. Even if Hiroshima is just a small part of it, the disappearance of close to 90% of this continent's indigenous population is not. 'Rich and diverse' history is rarely pretty, if you look beyong the highschool book.[/quote]
