Petition To Protect Soldier Monuments

New posts
There is no superior morality. Just different moral spheres. Everyone draws the line differently. Your moral sphere allows you to defend the dishonorable. My moral sphere will call you out on the b.s,
All I can say about that statement is that it is full of contradiction and a confusing explanation of morality. It proves our point in that you believe you have a superior morality. Then I could use your own argument and say that your "moral sphere allows you to defend the dishonorable".

Is this not getting old? Why don't we just learn to live with each other? Why is that so hard to do?
 
Believe it or not I do understand your point. Denial is an avoidance of reality. Reality is both right and wrong because we are humans (not omnipotent beings). Therefore all of history and heritage contains both right and wrong. To accept one reality and not another is denial. You have accepted one reality. I understand WHY the Confederate Flag is controversial so I accept your perspective. The difference in us is that you can not accept mine and choose to make judgements. I do not respond well to judgements as most other humans. Thus we can have a never ending debate or CHOOSE to live and let live and co-exist without anger or division. Your side of this issue is what is dividing us not mine.
You don't have to accept anything. Keep thinking the way you do, as you are free to. Just remember that when you and Misty open up the carnival tent, you are going to get a pushback from folks who thought otherwise. Your viewpoint is a gigantic,juicy rationalization that can only survive in a backwater bubble. Time will take care of it all. It's changing as we debate. If you don't respond well to judgements, stop posting your opinions.

Because I've been to the Custis property and seen the graves. Because I've looked out over Gettysburg,Vicksburg,Antietem,Fredericksburg,Shiloh,Petersburg,east of Richmond,Ft Sumter, too many times. How do I give such horror a "pass". Because the South is one gigantic embarrassment in the history of this country.Change your thinking, and you instantly lift your burden, and you have a new reality. You are carrying one heavy,stinky load on your shoulders.

Move.

Yes, the people of Walton County assuredly did "pushback"! The majority has spoken. Get over it. The flag still flies where it has for more than 5 decades.

I will risk the judgement for my opinion. I stand behind all of them. All I meant was that when I choose to respond to your judgment of me or things that I care about I will not hold anything back just as you. Let me remind you that your "side" opened up the "carnival tent".

I do agree with you in that time will take care of a lot of things. Since life is short why do we waste it on this foolishness of debating an issue that does not really affect you or me. We have all drawn a line but we can erase it or ignore it or accept it or tolerate it. If we were really smart we would not let things divide us.
