I have absolutely no problem with the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Nor do I.
But when my brother keeps borrowing money from me because he can't get a job because of his tattoo, then I'm going to tell him he needs to get rid of the tat or live with it's consequences.  It was my fault that I kept giving him money until he finally faced reality.

Never once saw one on a female. Sometimes what is normalized in childhood sticks with you for life.
I remember seeing the tattooed lady at the county fair. 
I also remember seeing the fat lady at the fair.  As I remember it, she would be considered average today.

My baby brother (just turned 59), finally had the rebel flag tattoo removed from his arm.  He got it because his ex-wife liked it.  But he had a history of employers going out of business and found himself looking for jobs often.  He finally admitted that rebel flag kept him out of a lot of jobs.  And being divorced and looking, most women his age found it distasteful.

That’s real? I saw that and thought it was a literal joke.
What IS true is that it IS ugly.

When locals complained about the monument to a garbage can in South Chicago and a few lawsuits were filed they got tossed and local government turned a blind eye.
Not sure what you are talking about.  I must have missed something.

Or are you saying that South Chicago is a  monument to a garbage can?

I wonder if we can apply "politically motivated" to other actions... all you leftwing nuts, be careful what you wish for...

I don’t remember why we were supposed to not like him
I kind of have a problem with that statement.  I just don't like anyone telling me why I shouldn't like someone.

Kudos if you get my tongue in cheek subtext.
Guilty.  I didn't get it.

Just today so far we gained back more than half what we lost.  I wonder if the hostage release is boosting the market.
I think it had more to do with Trump easing off the tough talk with China.

there are ballots with that option?  where?

here in taxachusetts, I've never seen anything like that.
You need to get out more. (Out of 'chusetts")

I've seen that on ballots since I was 18, in five different states.

I don't know what's worse.  Taking you're chances with a QR Code that contains who-knows-what security breaches,

Or those tiny little pictograms that have been included in a few of the things that I bought recently that needed "some assembly".

It's sort of like when a football player takes a cheap shot against an opponent and the opponent punches him back.  It is usually the opponent that gets penalized.

There are many issues influencing stock market prices.  But China announced those import restrictions the day before Trump reacted and the market continued to climb.  But as soon as Trump made his retaliating threat the market dived.  I went from up around 1.5% to down around 2% in about a half hour.  That was a big and fast drop.

I don't blame Trump for it.  He's doing what he needs to do while everyone else is or was afraid to do.
And that's why I said I need to stop checking my portfolio so often.  But I won't because it is just what I do.

I checked my stock portfolio this morning.   :)

I just checked it again after market close (After Trump threatened China with more Tarriffs).   :(  YIKES!
