That thing has embarrassed me for as long as I lived there. That the press conference didn't end with anyone actually walking out to remove it bothers me.

If your stance on slavery is anything less than "terrible and appalling" you should get to temporarily experience it.

slavery was in pretty bad taste. it was offputting, and inappropriate. it might be some people's bag, but I don't know if I go for that whole slavery thing.

we as a nation need to have a serious conversation. ok more like a chat and a handshake. over coffee, if weve got time. but i mean haha who does these days right? but no for real we should do something some time, just catch up. in the aftermath of this horrible tragedy.

Now you'll have another flag/pro-flag poo poo fit in SC, where most of the closet racist kept their mouths shut (barely) you're going to see another heritage poo poo fit.

Then if if anything gets done and the flag is removed then you will here "Hey we moved the flag what more do you people want?" :shrug:

*folds hands in a calculatedly non-aggressive, considerate way* true, true. some peopel have very bad associations with the word "genocide". but on the other hand, think of all those people who have a strong identification with the practice, and what banning genocide would mean to them.

funny enough with the law school at least stanford's students are way more service oriented than berkeley's. berkeley funnels a lot of students into IP poo poo, stanford has way more people do public interest/public service.

see i feel like youre overemphasizing the negative aspects of industrialized eradication of populations. some people might not want to hear that. they come to the holocaust museum to hear about the camps their grandparents served at during the war. or to see blueprints for the bmw forced-labor factories. shouldnt we be considerate of those people as well?

hmm. I hadn't thought of it in that way. thanks, haha. it's great we can sit down and hash this out civilly and though I'm still not convinced of the systematic destruction of whole peoples being "kosher", it's nice to see other POVs besides my own :)
