Asterisk doesn't work on PH when used as the first character in the line on a post. It does now I've quoted you.Similarly, autocorrect sometimes works in ways you don't wish it to.
Funny isn't it, the internet.

Nascar has banned the flag at their events...this weekend they will swap the Confederate flag for a US flag for free at Daytona.
Be funny if no one shows up as all the infield campers fly them.
Very strange people those Yanks.
Apparently it's not banned, but they'll swap it for free. If I was American and pro confederate flag (for whatever reason) I would be sure to be taking mine with me and not exchanging it.Be funny if no one shows up as all the infield campers fly them.

Ridiculous!
The kid had easy access to guns but the reaction is to ban the flag.
Actually, the only discussion relating to the flag is about it flying on State buildings, I think. If TV companies want to ban it that's up to them. They hardly have the power to enact gun control legislation.The kid had easy access to guns but the reaction is to ban the flag.

There are plenty of loony left American who don't like the stars & stripes flag either.
Funny, I've never met anyone like that. In fact I've never met a "loony left" American. But then I do just live here so I'll have to bow to your obviously greater knowledge of all things American.

Interesting words from the families of slaves and slaves themselves.

Slavery in any form by anyone is a disgrace.
Taking the hump over a flag is pathetic.

Is there a relatively recent song lyric that references Daisy Dukes?
So that lyric may not mean anything to whole generations now. That can't be right.
Lady Katy?So that lyric may not mean anything to whole generations now. That can't be right.
I may be confusing something between Gaga and Middleton here...
Or Perry?
Who's lacking too much of being lady to have been Branded.
