This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait until you see the Confederate flags in PA. Ya know, where the battle of Gettysburg happened. Very much not a southern state. It's wild seeing this shit in my neighborhood.
It means something else to those who fly them, generally speaking. Think Dukes of Hazzard more than Slavery.
Not saying its right, but thats how they see it.
No, it's actually true that a lot of people don't really think it through. I personally talked a friend out of flying it by appealing to how it might make others feel. It honestly hadn't really occurred to him. Now granted, said friend is semi-literate at best, but he is a genuinely kind and decent human being who just didn't know anything else.
