Idk. I don't care. I just wouldn't do it. I like my car to be like Switzerland...neutral as fugg. Had mirrors snapped off just for LSU sticker before.

It's probably for the best. Recently people feel the need to damage others property over Political interest,sports teams or anything else.

The only thing that is acceptable is TruckNuts.

All of this.

There is absolutely no difference between the confederate flag and a Nazi swastika. They're just innate objects that shouldn't get to someone, but they do.

Every logical reason in support of the confederate flag can be used for the swastika, so unless you're okay with both, you're hypocritical.

Care to extrapolate? Other than time, there isn't a difference. If a kid in Germany drives around with a Sons of Nazi Veterans plate with a swastika, is that a problem?

Look, I don't give a shite either way. They're both fine with me, but I can't understand why someone would have a problem with one and an issue with the other. Either you support their right to be an idiot or you don't.

I support it.

Family relative of mine was heavily involved in that organization. Very interesting people to say the least.

Fair enough.

I know it seems inflammatory on the surface, but if you break it down it makes sense. Think of all of the arguments you've heard in support of the flag and tell me they don't apply to a swastika.

Again, I'm not trying to do say you can't proudly fly the flag, but you can't have an issue if someone wants to display a swastika.

ETA: I know some people will miss the point and read this as me calling their great great great grandfather a Nazi. That's not the point.

One of my coonass Kirby Smith roomies just moved to Johnson City. He'll fix that problem shortly.
