Is this flag racist?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

It's how you intend it to be, I think. I had a confederate flag on other forum as my avatar. It's just a symbolism; me being here in the south.

Now that flag, I think the saying is a shot at people who weren't born in England or live in England.

I was born in America, I live in America, I'm going to die in America.

Did I offend any non Americans with that?

Oh and short concise terms we have for non-Americans?

Commies.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Kaiser, I just recently found out some events that happened in Munich. I'm surprised I didn't hear about them earlier, but I now know where that is.

...sorry for being off topic...

Explain how non-Americans are commies, if you wouldn't mind. I'd love to see how you came up with that one

I thought commies were those hanging at the .com, being unable to evolve into ORGAHs.

Americans are the only ones truly for freedom. Anyone not for freedom is a commie. Therefore, non-Americans are commies. Seems simple to me

That's probably the most common term for someone "unAmerican" though.

Best quote of the day!

Americans to view most non-Americans with some suspicion, this dates back to the Red Scares most likely. Henceforth, you are all commies.

Oh boy. Thanks Capo. I'm obviously a god-less, Stalin-hugging, Lenin-worshipping commie then who believes Americans should be ground into the earth and your capitalism should be done away with. Thanks a lot for your great generalisation of the rest of the world. I'd like to see what other bullocks you've come up with for the rest of the world. [/sarcasm]

This is just absurd, but anyway, I don't think that it's an insult being called communist. Just a thought (I think it's best than being called capitalist).

Cierto, pero si usted advirtió la etiqueta de [sarcasm], entonces estoy seguro usted verá estoy tonto

I have nothing wrong with Capitalism, or Communism, but the fact that Capo thinks everyone outside the USA is a communist is rather close minded and offensive.

[Kralizec]

Because we ARE. Duh!

I'm not saying that's what I beleive, it's just a general concensous of people wiht short conciese names for broad groups like that.

We have 'em for individual nations, PM on demand
EDIT: Soulforged, only a communist would say that

[Arcanum]

The masses should think more rational and give less about symbolism.

If I run around with a freaking flag of Germany with a svastika on it and a few burning crosses and a little confederate flag because I think it looks cool, am I a racist?

For example, I find that the old german flag with black, red and white, looks far better than the new one. Also I think crosses and svastikas look neat, does that make me a neo-nazi christian?

I don't give a damn what people think symbolizes what. That's as pointless as trying to interprete Eminem songs.

You do realise Mcarthyism was a bad thing right ?

[Prodigal]

Got bored readin halfway down page 2, so soz if its been said already.

For the record mainland UK has 3 distinct flags, the coolest is the Welsh one btw.

St George, watch some Barcelona football matches, the St George cross flags aren't being laid out by expats from the UK, he's also the patron saint there too.

The phrase "Born in England Live in England Die in England" not really offensive to be honest, makes me pleased that the stupid little oik won't be going abroad.

I can understand why some would find it offensive, but then, I find their simpering "pc" agenda's as offensive as the people who write such trite little "patriotic" slogans on flags.

Exactly.

[Shahed]

That flag bears the emblem of the Templars right ? So what do you think, were the Templars something to be proud of ?

Just asking, no offence intended.

[King Ragnar]

The flag is in now way racist, nor what was said about dieing and living in england. If that guy wants to be proud to be english like myself let him express it, and if anyone is offended by it, there is nothing they can do, we live in democracy thus he has freedom of speech, to say what he wants.

The Templars were founded originally to protect christian pilgramages for raiders, not wage wars, so I dont see anything wrong with them, no.

And even when they did fight in wars, they were hardly exclusive, so again, not really any problems there.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

The templars were no worse than the other christian orders of their time, they got a bad reputation because the king of france at the time wanted all their money and so called them heretics and tortured a load of them so that they would support this

[lancelot]

What, you mean like this?

That is classic!

[King Henry V]

It's called satire...the equivalent of calling the rest of the world commies.

[GoreBag]

I love the phrase 'Here Be Dragons'. I'm actually smiling as I hear it in my mind.

I don't think an image can be racist, even if it's an image of a mob of guys in white hoods lynching a black man. It is what it is and it depicts what it depicts.
