the way i see it is it used to mean something, now it means something else. given its history i don't think it's necessarily appropriate for a government facility to fly it unless they make a locally-well-received public statement as to what the flag means to them i don't care if people fly them. those who do are just letting me know there's a 90% chance that they'll annoy me and have a dumb accent |

It's an old symbol. Symbols gain meaning over time. Arguably it hasn't been long enough. Horse stuff, the Swastika was in use long before Riddler and company. The flag was flown by tribals, that much can't be argued, but now it's pretty much meaningless. It's a piece of cloth. If you're going to get offended by it you're not wrong, just a hundred and fifty years late. |

Probably forced to fight. --- End quote --- I'm sorry but what the hell are these commas |
