Exactly, I won't give my opinion cause this isn't the place for it

A lot of things can be taken out of context and could mean something different to others then it does to the guy who posted it. It doesn't mean it should be hidden, if someone is offended they allowed themselves to be offended.

Personally, I'm from the South and I'm proud to be here. However realizing that some people may not agree with my stance I choose not to put that on my truck. For the same reason I choose not to put a NRA sticker or a political sticker on it. Last thing I need is some ignorant fool messing up my stuff because they don't understand something on it.

To slightly derail....

... where is a good website that has a huge selection of different novelty plates?

I'm looking for something that is a big **** YOU to the Lefties. There are a lot of them that are quite clever, but they tend to have American livery on them and I'm a Canadian.

I suppose I could fly the Confederate Flag, as many up here in pickup trucks do, and I love the Rebel Flag, but I feel like it would be cheating on Canada to display it.

Where do y'all find your plates?

My brother what is "southern heritage"? An imaginary line drawn in the sand to differentiate you from the rest? If anything we should all be thankful enough we were born in the United States. You are just a lucky human born on the coolest part of land the earth has ever seen. Be thankful and less narcissistic. I love you though bro.

FJ my brother, I am simply giving my opinion that is all. I feel I am being respectful to you and others. Let us not ask each other to go away but to honestly participate in the discussion.

As men over beers we will meet. Much love my man.

There's a difference between being proud and being ignorant. Be mindful of others in everything you do and hopefully they do the same. IMO this falls in that category and your character should speak for itself without needing an old flag to possibly represent you falsely. Not everyone thinks the same as you

Why is Dixie not entitled to some pride for their past?

Wow... I thought Canada was ruined with PC Liberal lunacy.
Keep your guards up! The US is where I plan to defect to once Canada is ruined.
