    No.

    The gay flag should be banned by the mere fact that it's so fuckin gay. Kinda like Cleve.

    Does the rainbow flag have the history that the confederate flag did? Was the rainbow flag institutionally flown over a group of oppressed and enslaved people? And I thought it was a cool flag and maybe we could just forget about the past and let it fly, but then i"m not black and live on streets in the south still named after some of the most utterly heinous human beings that walked this land. I would rather them have dropped some of the statues, streets and various other honoraries of some truly despicable human beings no matter the era...than drop the flag. Would have liked to see them take a mulligan on that flag and start over with it....but that wasn't my call and frankly my, or anyone else's opinion here, doesn't matter.

    When the rainbow flag ever comes to symbolize oppression and enslavement i'll be all for it to be taken down.

    If your last statement were true dickhead, then you could call any flag flying today belonging to a nation that participated in slavery "a symbol of oppression", including the stars and stripes.

    Go ahead, tell me I'm bad at reading comprehension again.

  • Fuck the 'it symbolized oppression'. The Confederacy is long DEAD... its the flag of nothing. A dead nation, it represents no peoples.

    Slavery was a poor institution but your characterization of southerners as some of the most heinous people that walked this earth is pretty naive and just plain out wrong. History is absolutely filled with much more atrocious ways of being than the South even during the height of slavery.

    "some" southerners cysko. Some of the people that still have streets named after them and statues erected of them in national parks are indeed some of the most contemptible people by any era's standards, that this country has put out.

    Go drive down MLK Jr blvd in *every* town in the country, and it's a fucking war zone.

    Who streets are named after don't mean a fucking thing, you stain.

    So no one would utter a sentence over an "adolf hitler" blvd? Try putting that in NY on the upper east side and tell me what happen, you gay fuckhole fuckhole for gays.

  • Only if they take down the Joseph Stalin sign first.

    What point do you think you're making again?

  • Cleve rarely makes any point, he just

    gets emotionally caught up in different subjects until he

    can pretend he does.

  • Later, Rock gives advice to anyone who finds themselves lost on an MLK-named street: “Run! Run! Run!”

    Not taking sides on which flag offends which person---I really don't give a fuck.

    I just think that Chris Rock is funny.

    Oh, right. You realise we're not all some amorphous, generic blob? I mean, there are plenty of things that will be disagreed on, things I'll call him out on (and have done), same with woody and others. Just like there's not one generic 'righty' - you'll disagree with cal, diehard and cysko on plenty of things.

    Maybe, just maybe, instead of looking at people as being strictly either left or right, we should consider that we are instead all on a sliding, multidimensional scale of social, fiscal, foreign, military and all kinds of policies. Maybe, then, we wouldn't be so quick to denounce something out of hand as being left or right wing - like, say, free university education, which works pretty well in other countries - and come to sensible agreements based on evidence not ideology?

    Anyway, rant over. Cleve was just not being too creative. Maybe more red bulls were needed. Instead of 'you gay fuckhole fuckhole for gays' perhaps something like 'you knob-gobbling catamite' or 'you turd-poking cum-dumpster' - assuming that being called gay is such an egregious insult.

  • Hey you got to admit the irony when that kind of shit comes from the left...

    By the way are we pretending that sexual orientation political party religion or lack thereof or race isn't a factor when somebody exhibits bad or stupid behavior?
