Good points. What I always tell people is; if you think the Confederate Flag is rascist, then the American Flag is 22 times as rascist considering the fact that the "United States of America" held the institution of slavery for approximately 89 years(July 4th, 1776-1865) to the "Confederate States of America"'s 4 years. I believe the States succeeded mostly because of their fear of the newly-elected anti-slavery and pro-abolishonist Lincoln Administration infringing on their rights to own slaves. However, when Lincoln hastily called up 70,000 men to invade the South, it resulted in the start of the Civil War, or as some of us like to call it, "The War of Northern Aggression".

Welcome dixiegeneral!

I decided NOT to see the movie, when I found out about the scene degrading the Confederate Flag on the Generals roof. I wont stand for that...but thats just me.

Anyone interested in learning about the Confederate Government, I recommend a book called 'LOOK AWAY!: A History of the Confederate Government' by William C. Davis.

Dixie_lee, you hit the nail on the head, way to go! Misti, I recommend you learn about the Confederacy and it's battle flag from books rather than from random places on the internet. When you learn what men did and what they sacraficed for the flag, I think you'll have a newfound respect for what those men did for their cause and for that flag during the Civil War. Wherever you do your research...look up some info on Color Bearer (soldiers assigned to carry the flags in battle). Even though carrying a flag in battle was basically a death sentence(it made a soldier a nice target for the enemy to shoot at) it was considered an honor to carry the colors in battle, and men were proud to die carrying that Confederate Battle Flag. crawdaddy, it's too bad that teachers are being bias when it comes to "teaching" the Civil War to students...I hope you'll teach your son the facts about the Civil War, and let him decide the rest for himself. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend taking your family to Gettysburg or any other Civil War battlefield if you ever get the chance. ----- History has always been written by the victors... "Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision." -Gen. Patrick Cleburne, CSA

I like to think that Hazzard County is still the same and that Bo and Luke are still getting chased by Rosco and Jumpin' the General over the creek.

Well, after they left the show, Coy and Vance took different paths in their careers...Coy went on to work at McDonalds and Vance went on to a career at Burger King.

Anyone ever see SPEED ZONE with John Candy and Eugene Levy? John Schneider has a small cameo appearance, and their are some cool cars in it, including a Lamborghini Countach.

December Flower by IN FLAMES Towards the rich archaic heavens;towards the lack diorama you are the artist of the texture that plays with the mantle of the earth When the bleakest of powderslie rooted to the starched stones and roots that feed the peaking trees embrace the sleeping shores Archaic pearls of sleep and death the voice of December losing it's breath and the floweryard of white and grey is haunted White as the down of flaking snow, the heroic emblems of life Green is the colour of my death as in winter-guise I swoop towards the ground Green is the landscape of my sorrowfilled passing We are In Flames towards the dead archiac heavens We are the mantle of the earth

Why dont you just buy the first season on DVD?

I think the show was cancelled before they could film a Series Finale show. Too bad, it would be nice to have a 'goodbye' episode where they say what happens to everyone.

I dont think I'll be wearing 'Daisy Dukes' anytime soon.

Here's the scoop on Dime's signature guitar model as far as I know... Dime won his first Dean "star shaped guitar" when he was 14 years old at a guitar playing competition in Texas, which became his signature model. After a deal with Dean, Darrell later signed a deal with Washburn(as far as I know a guitar shape cannot be copyrighted-note the many Stratocaster copies). Not long before his death, Dime once again signed a deal with Dean after his Washburn contract ran out. Both the Washburn and Dean Guitars are almost identical inn their appearance.

ME!!!!!! 8)

I doubt there will be a large "African-American" cast in the film, however I heard Anthony Anderson was considered for the role of Boss Hogg...well at least he's fat, unlike Burt Reynolds. And I hope to god there is no hip-hop on the sountrack. Besides most rappers might be offended about the Confederate Flag on the General's roof, remember? We all know how offensive the Confederate flag is! (sarcasm)

Well I think the movie is done filming isn't it?

You said it.

Welcome Charger...Great Avatar!

Sweet, can't wait...I'll be the first in line.

Apparently in this scene, the duke boys are made out to be oblivious to the fact that there is a Confederate Flag painted on their hood, and do not seem to know too much about it. All of us who have seen the TV show, know that the opposite is true. The show was totally pro-confederate. Examples: 1.Bo Duke's name is short for Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. 2.The Duke boys car is named after Confederate Gen. Robert E Lee and has a Confederate flag painted on it's hood. 3. There are other characters in the show named after Confederate Generals, One named after JEB Stuart, and Longstreet B. Davenport, named after Confederate Gen. James Longstreet. Not to mention J.D. Hogg is named after Confederate President Jefferson Davis. 4. Boss Hogg has paintings hanging in his bank and office of various Confederate Generals including Stonewall Jackson. 5. The Duke's refer to the Confederacy during the Civil War as "we", example: Bo-"If the Confederates had that much fire power during the Civil War, WE would never had lost Atlanta" Did I forget anything? The Duke family in the TV show was obviously aware and proud of their Confederate and Southern Heritage. However, in the movie, they feel that this is nothing to be proud of, and portray the boys as having no knowledge of what the flag on their roof is all about, and is only there because "their friend who fixed their car is a Civil War buff and painted it on their car without their knowledge." The ONLY reason they decided to leave the Flag on the General in the movie is because they knew that no self-respecting DOH fan would go see the movie if the General did not adorn the flag on it;s roof as we've seen it for the past 25 years. If I find out that the movie is released with a scene that insults and degrades the flag, I for one will NOT go see the movie. They worry about the people who are "offended" by the flag but don't seem to worry about the people who hold the flag as a symbol of honor and devotion.
