It's a picture of a generic black man's face with a big red X through it. :)

Wait, no... that X is just the confederate flag. NM.

Actually we changed it to this ugly piece of shit, and I think we may have changed it again, but I don't know what to.

I hate these fucking flaggots (pun intended) who are so fucking obsessed with the Georgia State Flag (and I don't mean the people who lobbied for the change, I mean the people who won't get off the fucking issue and move on).

Isn't that a confederate battle flag rather than a national flag?

EDIT: Here's Florida, and yes, those red stripes are what you think it stands for.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Ah, yes the Battle Flag :twisted:

Maryland didn't have a flag until 1904, and the Red/White Crosses on it
were used as a flag by Maryland regiments raised for the Confederacy.

if you even dressed your baby in Red/White during the Civil War
in Maryland, you could be arrested for treason (no shit!)

Later, when it came time to design a state flag, the Confederate
veterans had the symbol they fought under placed on it

Fuck you, you fucking Poseur. I have yet to see any photos of your
alleged "police mug shots".
According to the 1971 "The International Flag Book in Color" by Christian Fogd Pedersen, the Indiana flag is as follows:

"Adopted in 1917 as the result of a competition. The 13 stars in the outer circle represent the 13 original States. The inner semi-circle with 5 stars represent the 5 other States adopted into the Union before Indiana. The star directly above the torch symbolizes Indiana as the nineteenth State of the Union. The torch is a symbol of liberty and enlightenment."

Nah, it's there to set the redwood trees (and the tree huggers) in Cali on fire in case of another war. :P

Interesting.

I hate to admit it, but when I was in Westminster a couple of months ago, I didn't know that was the state flag until I asked the desk clerk at the hotel. :oops:

I apologize for making another post but the latter site somehow blocks off-site linking. If some mod sees this, he may remove my earlier post in this thread.
