    I never said it had anything to do with the boat, a poster brought up civil war which led to me asking what the flag of the civil war had to do with some of the armed protests that are supported mostly by trump supporters — when a poster made excuses I used hyperbole to ask if they would understand the outrage if the flag was of a more extreme nature — at which point you entered with your typical excuses and personal remarks.

    The word is bye, btw — not ‘by’ unless you were indicating an author.

    Take care.

    I had a Dukes of Hazard hot wheels when I was a kid and an Alf lunch box. I’m sure the left can be offended by Alf in some form as well.

    You keep editing down my sentence, why is that? I specifically said; “I grew up in the deep south and reside in the south” followed by your quoted remarks” — of course it is from my personal experience regarding people I have met or am related to.

    I do not surmise to know the personal inner workings of people I have never met which is why I prefaced it with where I lived, who I have encountered and then followed up with the word usually. It is assumption based on their actions and words.

    Are your personal experiences different?
    Do you know people that fly the flag, that are proud of the events of the confederacy?

    If you cannot see the difference between liking a tv show that contained the flag and flying one at an armed protest threatening the governor, that has nothing to do with the south then I doubt you are being objective.
    Maybe it is another issue though.

    Has anyone been hurt at these armed protests? Like three people beating the crap out of an unarmed elderly man?

    No, thank goodness — lucky the ATF and FBI arrested the organizer that was making pipe-bombs.
    I do not know what elderly man you are speaking of.

    What is your point?

    Fair enough. I live in Los Angeles, so I can only tell you my experience with people that display Obama/Hillary/Biden stickers. They don't use turn signals.

    Point being these armed right wing protesters can have a non violent protest. The left on the other hand not so much.

    I have seen numerous left wing protesters do so without violence and numerous right wing protests do so with violence. So that narrative isn’t much more than a view though a partisan lens.

    I believe that is a universal issue in the States — from Tennessee to Texas to Washington state. Virginia is by far the worst in my experience.

    I lived in LA and San Jose for a little over a year for work — your drivers are scary and the traffic in some parts are unbearable.

    South Dakota is another doozie. Turn signals, cruise control, passing lane management, maintain a safe minimal speed, not required. Road rage should not be an issue when driving thru a state with such a small population.

    To take us even further off topic: I cannot wait for autonomous vehicles personally.

    I have never been through SD, I hear the Badlands are amazing though.

    People need to grow up and realize there are few "safe spaces" in the adult world, and snowflakes are going to lead a harsh life if they don't learn to expand their minds.

    It's a boat. With a patriotic wrap. In a country which was largely patriotic until 12 years ago +/-. Haters need to get over it.

    Comparing it to a Nazi flag only reflects even more pitifully on anyone who would do so :roll: Pitiful, pitiful.

    Leftist extremists **** on police cars, riot in the streets, and kneel for the flag ...... and we're supposed to feel sorry for them because they're triggered by a patriotic boat wrap??
    ROFLLMAO :roflol:

    Has he been punched yet?

    If he's punched by a liberal, that means he's a Nazi.

    Where are all the boat tarps? These boats need to be covered up with a giant boat mask that prevents spread of the Cuomo19 Virus from. NYNY.

    Otherwise, Florida boat owners might get infected and die , resulting in fish not being caught which might alarm environmentalist who have calculated precisely what the optimal number of fish there should be, based on computer fishing data and games
