Which flag offends you more?

[KarateCowboy]

So, which flag offends your sensibilities and to you is a greater symbol of evil? Feel free to elaborate on your reasoning.

My answer is both the american rag and the confederate rag, which both represent racism, white supremacy, and oppression to me.

The only differences I can see between the two is that the american rag also represents genocide and mass destruction.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Both are symbols of oppressive regimes which deserved their defeat. Let them both fade into irrelevance.

I'm not offended by flags.

 

[RDKirk]

Either flag would offend me if flying over a US government building, not because of the flag itself, but because of the evil in the hearts of the men who would want either flying over a US government building.

If in the museums where they belong, neither offends me.

Indeed -- conquered enemies don't get to fly their flags over the victors' country -- it's counter-intuitive, don't you think?

 

[AHH who-stole-my-name]

Offended is a term too overused to retain any measure of relevancy. I've always said that if I urinated on someones face then they would be offended but to see something that others point out as meaning something wrong, that is not offensive. I would be more offended that someone would think so little of my ability to think that they would try and tell me what is and is not worthy of me researching it.

Both of these flags can be seen in verious ways and both have been praised and demonized by various groups, but to me they are significant for their historical value. They need to be preserved so that no man will ever forget what they stood for. We can not afford to remove them from the public consciousness lest we forget their look and appeal to those who carried them and fail to recognize them in their next reincarnation

I'm not a child and I don't have the mind of one, so neither.

I'm not offended by pieces of colored cloth.

 

[nightflight]

Lol, people so reluctant to say the Soviet flag.

That was not the choice.

I would expect most people to find the Soviet flag more offensive because socialism enslaves all.. However, I could see Americans finding the Confederate flag more offensive because it represents the destruction of the Union.

The greatest abomination in the history of vexilology:

Those poor sheep.

If you've ever seen what's left of a sheep after a feral hobbit attack...

I chose neither. Flags mean nothing to God, they mean nothing to me. The hype about it is a silly passing fad

 

[football5680]

The Soviet flag, but it doesn't really offend me. I simply dislike Communism.

Which flag offends you more?

 

[Armoured]

Which flag offends you more?

The horror...

 

[KarateCowboy]

Which flag offends you more?

The Soviet flag, I suppose. I think because it actually represented a very real menace during my lifetime.

Thanks.

I never had any interest in flags, and certainly none of them offends me. It is the people who wave the flag, or wrap themselves in the flag who I find offense....whichever flag that may be.
