3. I think Minnesota should give it back.

The Civil War is over. The flag is a historical artifact now and it belongs in Virginia. I grew up in Pennsylvania and am opposed to Confederate Flag worship (or U.S. Flag worship, for that matter), but people have a right to know their history and historical artifacts help to do that. And yes, I feel the same way about captured German or Japanese artifacts from WW II.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.
