Do you happen to know the name of this thread?  I'm interested to see yet another Idaho bride giving us a bad name.  These girls never come to the local board.

ETA: Nevermind, found it.  She's a gem.

I think saying that SB is trying too hard to be the old AFSB is lame.   I think obsessing over what the people do or don't do on SB and OMG WHATDOESITALLMEAN?! every single day is lame.   I think trying to act all butthurt because people moved locations on a MESSAGE BOARD is lame.   I know I've said this before but I just don't get why everyone cares so much.  Move over there.  Don't.  Be angry about it.  Don't. But god, shut the fuuck up about it.  Jesus. 

I get why so many people are migrating to snarky brides.  They don't talk about this stupid sh*t day in and day out. 

Edit:I fully acknowledge that I participated in a discussion about what the "migration" was the other day, so this may or may not make me a hippo.  I'm ok with that.  It's the whining.  The trying too hard to make a big foffing deal out of nothing whining.   GOD.

I get that to some people it symbolizes their family history and their lineage.  However, the OP in this thread completely disregarded others' feelings and wanted to display it all around her reception.  She didn't get that it would be found offensive to people and even went so far as to say NONE of her guests would find it offensive.  OP did not respond well to logic and reasoning.

For an army that was defending one thing - the right to own slaves.

But I do sort of get what you're saying. At the time, they were trying to form their own nation, inclusive of everything a nation should have. It's just that... they went to war over one single, solitary states right.

I still think that discussing a personals facebook habits on here is a d*ck move.  There is a general rule here that another persons "real life" shouldn't be brought onto the boards unless it is by their doing, and in my opinion facebook falls under "real life."    If you have an issue with someone unfriending you, take it up with them through there or through PMs.  There's no reason for it to brought onto the boards.  I everyone squawking about how it was so ok might feel a little differently if it was them it had been happeneing too.   Not the end of the world of course, but still something thats just not cool.

This is what I meant by wanting attention, Salt. The constant week in and week out pointing out of who is on what side, what they are doing, what she is not doing, how she feels about it and what it all means is just over the top. I read last weeks FFF after the fact and I noticed hardly any one from SB was even in the thread debating anything related to the topic. I feel like most people have moved on. If it is not for the attention of trying to create a divide, then what is it? Fill me in.

For the love of god. That's like saying that someone is wrong for saying a swastika symbolizes Nazi Germany just because it originally was used in religions like Hinduism and Buddhism for something totally different. The Nazi use doesn't take away from the other uses, but when 99% of people are going to think "Nazi!" upon seeing it, you might want to steer away from it at your wedding even if you know that you mean it in a different way unless you know that all of your guests understand its religious use and will think of it that way first.

Thank you, East!  Yes.

One word about the fb defriending thing:  It was in direct response to Nebb's "I wish certain people wouldn't post here but I'm not going to say who I mean" - that invited speculation.  It was logical, imo, to say "Well, she recently defriended me, so she probably means me."  It may not have been correct, but it was a logical response and not just brought up out from the clear blue sky.

That is patently untrue, and if you're going to talk about history, know what you're talking about.  Slavery was yes, and underlying issue, but if it was THE issue then that's what Lincoln would have used to gain troops from the outset.  It wasn't.  Because slavery wasn't an issue even for a majority of the NORTHERN population.

However, I will not deny that the feeling that people have about it is what is given to us now, not what it actually was.  I also think that it's not appropriate for a wedding in the slightest.

yes, the army was defending the right to own slaves. But it really was largely a matter of the industry and livelyhood of the south. Not that I agree with how blacks were treated (I don't), but they totally had a different perspective to it than we do now, after looking back. Not all southeners believed in enslaving blacks in horrible conditions.

Do you think the German flag symbolzies racism, since most of Germany turned a blind eye to what the Nazi's were doing?
