Should we ban the Confederate flag?

@DiegoWolfe Similar to the Eureka Stockade flag for us, but Australia has never (and hopefully will never) have a civil war. The USA has had one (and on Jan 6 2021 Trump nearly started a second one).

@zonavar68 my point stands, so many in this nation don't know their history, and act the fool.

@DiegoWolfe Picture in a book'll do.

@Graylight No it doesnt i havr a family friend who only learned the atrosities of the holocost from a text book and is a devout denier it ever even took place so no books are crap for teaching you need actual things to know your history

@DiegoWolfe Well, 1000 years of Oxford study says differently. But let's ignore the experts, shall we?

@Graylight Im just telling you what i know as facts sorry, and oxford is a school not a book, people who only use books to study have no real world experience and are lacking its a fact how many book smart but life dumb people get through Oxford and cant make it in the real world?

Some graduates of Oxford University. No, it's not a book. It uses books. Lots of them. To create well-rounded, productive members of society who have helped progress the human condition fo a thousand years. They may not all know how to install a new breaker panel, but let's look at this:[b] In 2021, the Oxford University acceptance rate was 13.5% (according to data from UCAS). It received 24,645 applications and accepted 3,330 students overall.[/b]

Why are you so angry and resistant to education? Because you don't have it and others do? Education is free, it's abundant, its literally everywhere. Whether you're sitting at Oxford or Valencia community college, further education leads to knowledge, progression, enlightenment, personal confidence, critical thinking abilities and solutions-based thinking. It's available to everyone at any time and those who already have it can't wait to pass it along, as the effect of education increases with every new member. All you have to do is want it.

@Graylight Im not against education you blithering neanderthal, eery person you have noted used physical real world education not just the formal education youre screaming from your goddamned soapbox about, i am calling for more than books to be used to teach a student to go into the real world not just the fucking pages of a damned book this is why i fucking hate humans you stand on fucking stupid hills to die at serve NO value! I am saying kids are fucking morons who cant take what is in book at value, did the founder pf pennsylvania sit in his fucking office only looking at books of the land he wanted to make a state NO he was out and learning book only education is a fucking waste of time money and life

@DiegoWolfe You have no idea what education is and you buy into the five year-old’s myth that one must either be good at books or actual life. They are elements of the same journey. You can’t know that because you’ve availed yourself to “ book learning,” evidently. I know a lot of guys who are savvier on the streets more than you could know and “real life” in a way that you can’t even define. But they live in tents in ditches.
