The term "PC" should be renamed

If you're comparing the Nazi flag to the country flags of both Japan and the U.S....... maybe we really shouldn't be having this conversation.

That is the problem with the PC crowd. They just want to shut down the discussion. What distinguished imperial Japan from Nazi Germany? I see a lot of obvious similarities. Can you honestly not see them? They were war time allies occupying nations and carrying out genocide. Yet one flag is evil and the other is just dandy.

Last time I checked, Japan was still a country and as such has its own flag. Germany ALSO has its own country flag, and it looks nothing like the Nazi flag. Keep reaching, though.

You say one cannot, for example, compare the Japanese flag and the Nazi flag. I simply question why not and you seem unable or unwilling to answer that question. The PC response is to close down debate by saying, 'we should never talk about it, you are being extreme'. If you think as I do that a flag is just a flag, then surely all flags exist equally as flags. If you think flags have greater meaning as you seem to do, then I am simply asking you what distinguishes the flag of Imperial Japan and that of Nazi era Germany. If the Nazi flag is so bad based on the regime of Nazi Germany, then how can you deflect the flag of Japan when Japan was an equally hideous regime occupying nations, stealing resources, and carrying out genocide? I think it is a valid observation and yet the flag of Japan isn't being banned or frowned upon.

I answered your question, Miles. I told you Japan's flag is its country flag, just like Germany has its own country flag. The Nazi flag is not Germany's country flag. It has no use... therefore it is not needed as anything other than an instrument of provocation against other human beings. Even you should be able to grasp that simple concept.
