Social Justice Warrior ** -- HokieDan95 04/20/2016 10:44AM

Ahh and of course in your world that's a perjorative ** -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 12:52PM

Its not in yours? ** -- hoothat 04/20/2016 1:37PM

When did fighting for social justice become a bad thing? ** -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 1:41PM

Exactly, if that's their name that MUST be what they are doing ** -- HokieDan95 04/20/2016 2:01PM

You confuse labels with names, and you seem to imply that -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 2:08PM

Sorry when people are concerned with white guys wearing dreadlocks or -- HokieDan95 04/20/2016 3:55PM

So? ** -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 5:37PM

Nah, do your own research -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:11AM

He fought against this country on the side that wanted to keep humans -- cvilleHOOrat 04/20/2016 10:14AM

...google, library, etc. -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:26AM

You seem to be the history challenged person in this dialogue -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 10:42AM

Cool, that is why Grant gets a pass right? -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:54AM

Hugh? ** -- Hoogle.com 04/20/2016 11:28AM

Are you kidding? -- WahooRQ 04/20/2016 11:08AM

His wife did own slaves, obviously he never used them for any gain -- hoothat 04/20/2016 11:12AM

Oh, I see. Now it's his wife when she didn't even live with him. LOL, -- WahooRQ 04/20/2016 11:47AM

No, see below. -- hoothat 04/20/2016 1:01PM

He led an army that only existed because slave owning states -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 1:24PM

I doubt if you asked any soldier why they fought -- hoothat 04/20/2016 1:46PM

The "mainstream narrative" that was taught to me in school -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 1:53PM

Wow -- hoothat 04/20/2016 2:07PM

I have read plenty. You should read more. -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 2:11PM

Dude....that is so pathetic. The southern economy was -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 5:48PM

We will never agree -- hoothat 04/20/2016 6:24PM

You may find it silly, others would use different words -- 111Balz 04/21/2016 07:36AM

Yup. You are a fcuking dupe. Been duped your whole life. -- hoothat 02/16/2019 03:52AM

I corrected myself, mistakes are made -- hoothat 04/20/2016 3:14PM

I was of the impression that Lee's father had lost most or all of the -- southdenverhoo 04/20/2016 12:41PM

I think that's all accurate but my point was more that Lee fought a war -- WahooRQ 04/20/2016 1:05PM

If you really go back and look at contemporary accounts and piece together -- southdenverhoo 04/20/2016 3:40PM

Important historical context, and I think it is some of this to which... -- EAPo 04/21/2016 5:48PM

A country that had yet to be fully united in its 80 years of existence ** -- HokieDan95 04/20/2016 10:19AM

The country was united. There was a division among the people -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 10:38AM

See it how you will -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:45AM

So here's the thing. I do think Lee was a basically good and honorable and -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 12:56PM

Slavery ended peacefully in every other Western society -- hoothat 04/20/2016 1:36PM

It does not matter what might have happened if the south won -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 1:43PM

Lol, the north fought the war too.. -- hoothat 04/20/2016 2:15PM

What is LOL is your belief that you have any special insight -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 5:40PM

There was debate going back at least to the Tariff of Abominations as to -- southdenverhoo 04/20/2016 9:06PM

Good point on the question of legality of secession. I also -- 111Balz 04/21/2016 07:30AM

"Lincoln's Constitution" by Daniel Faber is an interesting read on this -- WahooRQ 04/21/2016 07:04AM

And the South seceding would have had a disastrous effect on the Northern -- KCHoo 04/20/2016 9:22PM

Without a doubt ** -- 111Balz 04/21/2016 07:31AM

My LOL is in regard to your view -- hoothat 04/20/2016 6:08PM

History is more complicated than the PC pop culture movement will have you -- HokieDan95 04/20/2016 09:44AM

While "traitorous loser" is a bit over the top, the truth is -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 09:53AM

I don't believe he would say, nor that it is fair for us to say, that he -- southdenverhoo 04/20/2016 12:56PM

Agree with all of that. I think you could also argue that he was on the -- KCHoo 04/20/2016 3:02PM

I should have said, he led the armed forcers of the rebellion into -- 111Balz 04/20/2016 1:00PM

He'd tell you, but then he'd have to kill you. ** -- WahooRQ 04/20/2016 08:46AM

Good to see you are still an asshat. ** -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:04AM

For an undercover badass Jason Bourne MF'er, you sure are sensitive! ** -- WahooRQ 04/20/2016 10:08AM

That was sensitive? I thought it was truth. ** -- hoothat 04/20/2016 10:14AM

If it makes people feel better by erasing any, and I mean any, -- Exhoolate 04/19/2016 4:42PM
