Nice (?) avatar Grrr!!

Wonder how long it will be before the flame fests begin.

Grrr · May 7, 2002, 20:33

Flame Fests? Maybe. Eli hasn't had any, and his avatar is controversial.

Edit. KrazyHorse is holding his kitten hostage over Eli, so that is wrong.

notyoueither · May 7, 2002, 20:35

Not liking the UN and equating a very large nation with Nazis might just be two different things.

asleepathewheel · May 7, 2002, 20:36

I feel personally insulted by Grrr. I move that he be banned, permanently.

(+1 pc, ~100 til retaliation)

If a mod/admin asks for it to removed, it shall. But freedom of speech prevails.

Indeed it does. I really don't care, I was just kidding, anyway.

Not on the boards it doesn't.

Also, what makes my avatar any different from that of Jaguar Warrior?

You know if you keep putting in that +1 pc, they WILL give you a PCR for spamming.

Zopperoni · May 7, 2002, 21:15

Bah, ik wil Dommel terug

Grrr · May 7, 2002, 21:17

Dan moet je maar wat kuifjes koopen. Of bestaan die niet meer met Dommel erin?

devilmunchkin · May 8, 2002, 01:50

are you arguing this?:
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, the swastika was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards, coins, and buildings. During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II.

notyoueither · May 8, 2002, 02:13

Unfortunately, since a certain group usurped the symbol it is unmistakable in most usages, including Grrr!!'s.

I can tell you what I'd be doing if a foreign national desecrated the flag of my country in such a fashion. It would involve excessive amounts of flames.

I'm surprised it hasn't caused much of a stir. Ho hum. I guess not many Americans are too concerned with what some 300,000 of them died for 60 years ago. I guess I'm just an old fuddy-duddy.

The people here know that Apolyton government is more important than national government. They'd burn the flag, if flames weren't a bannable offence

.

notyoueither · May 8, 2002, 02:28

Yes. I too would burn that one.

I'm looking forward to danimal2's posts. hopefully they will be as amusing as the first's.

aaglo · May 8, 2002, 04:12

You people!
Only your MIND makes the transformation swastika = nazi.

IIRC, swastika is an old symbol for the sun, which the nazis started using.

BTW, In WW2 the Finnish air force (

) also had a swastika as their symbol, but it wasn't diagonal like the nazi-version; all the 'lines' were horizontal/vertical.

notyoueither · May 8, 2002, 04:42

The transformation is made by the user making it a political statement.

aaglo · May 8, 2002, 04:54

Well, I'm not sure what actually is Grrrrrrrrrrr's political statement... ok.

And I'm a sloppy reader, Devilmunchin already mentioned the Finnish air force... Where did she got that information anyway??? Is she after all a finn? Or do I smell the words 'honorary finn' here?

How killing terrorists can destroy the American democracy is beyond me.

What is american democracy? It seems like a monarchy...
