It needs to stop when it is sponsored by our government.

This has been another episode of short answers to stupid questions.

DonDiego has been a cogitatin' on alanleroy's flag also.

DonDiego opines that there'll have to be 5 corners, . . . to include a black booby, a brown booby, a red booby, a white (or pink) booby, and a yellow booby, . . . to represent the historical Five Races of Mankind.

While understandin', . . . and respectin', . . . jatki99's perfectly understandable preference, poor old DonDiego suggests a variety of sizes to reflect the diversity of (wo)mankind, . . . colors and sizes to be paired randomly so as not to give offense.

Why yes! That is a brilliant Idea DonDiego. A pentagonal flag representing boobies of all races. Screw the commercial naming rights. This is bigger than all of us. See how easy it is to advance civilization when people of good will work together to make things better?

I just wish there was a simple way to incorporate all world religions and atheism. Perhaps the flag could include 12 round holes with each representing one of the twelve classical world religions.....And then a single square representing atheism. The holes symbolize faith and a recognition that spirituality transcends the physical world. The atheist square symbolizes their belief that we are bounded by the material world and nothing transcends the physical world.

Go back 50 years ago and if everything that offended some then as it does today we would be in worst shape than if we faced 4 more years of OBAMA. Now that's going to offend some people. Live and let live mind your own business not the business a few minority groups out there. The first group that comes to my mind is that beautiful group called the ACLU. We have a Supreme Court that makes laws and changes today that effect every single American in one way or another without question. No matter what they do (right or wrong) that effects millions of people they have a job for life....one hell of a set up.


This bullshit all started when we let freed the slaves and then let women vote.
Thank goodness that Republicans lead the way to free blacks and allow woman to vote.

And John Wilkes Booth was a Democrat!

It's hysterical that you think that is a strong point.
Forkie hates tangible proof that those that he calls racist are not.

I know Boiler, somewhere along the way the two parties switched sides in our lifetime. Even up to the point of Reagan I leaned toward being a republican. Now I really have no affiliation.

I will say the Republican party today looks nothing like the party of Goldwater or Reagan.

I don't call you or anyone else a racist. I prefer the term "white supremacist" because it is self describing. And since you would look favorably on a constitutional amendment to allow the police to racially profile blacks, yes Boilerman, you are a white supremacist. Without a doubt.

Yes,all excellent ideas and could make for a very cool flag except for one thing that's been bothering me. Speaking as a biped, and I think I can speak for bipeds everywhere, I think the triped looking symbol should be modified to more represent mankind. Just my two cents.
Yet Boiler believes that some "people of color" are far superior to most white folks in the most important ways.

How can that be? Also, isn't "white" a color?
