Is is wrong for me to make fun of another member with my avatar? It's just Christie Brinkley with a mustache. :shrug:

No, in fact I approve of your new avatar. Please continue.

Edit: It's hilarious and an accurate description of character.

Is is wrong for me to make fun of another member with my avatar? It's just Christie Brinkley with a mustache.

It's wrong of you to make fun of anyone ...even Christie Brinkley.

You, and some others, might find it humorous, but what of others? And lest you forget, you are one of the moderators around here. Isn't setting a decent example a part of your ....ahh, responsibilities? Or is it just to punish others for what YOU consider wrong?

Is it wrong to make fun of other kids at school? Is it wrong to tease others in the playground? Is it wrong to make fun of others? I don't see how anyone could truly believe otherwise.

And if not, then I'm going to start teasing other members here who I don't happen to like. Teasing isn't wrong, right?

Precisely.

The only question remaining to be asked is why is this person still a moderator ?

lol i didn't even know he was

Its just an avatar

So if I used an avatar showing a little girl being sexually abused, would you defend that use by say, "It's just an avatar."?

If I used an avatar showing the Prophet Mohammed dressed as terrorist, with an AK-47 and dynamite strapped to his body, would you defend that use by saying, "It's just a avatar."?

High n' mighty ideals might be pretty damned difficult to actually do, but it seems that some who hold those high n' mighty ideals should at least try the best that they can ....don't you think?

nope satire and parady are great forms of humor

Well its not like he is using a REAL picture of Sandy.
He is using a celebrity photo that anybody could get
from anywhere? So he is making fun of Christie Brinkley?
Why should you care?

No it is not wrong to make fun of someone with an avatar. But it is wrong to do so when it is done maliciously. And that answer can only be answered by the individual you are making fun of. If they ask that you stop, you should do so. And if others ask the same of you, then you should heed their wishes.

Teasing stops being fun when the teased individual becomes hurt by it.

Spidergoat forces sciforums to form definitive lines and boundaries lol.

Sandy said she would consider it a personal attack but she's laughing too hard. When IceAgeCivilizations was here, I used his real picture in my avatar. No one complained.

Then there is your answer. If the subject that is meant to be portrayed does not mind, so be it. She is the one who should have a say in this.. well her and Brinkley of course.. :p .. Problem solved then.:)

Its not like he took Sandy's Real picture and painted a moustache on.............because hers already has one:shrug:

Don't forget the addition of Old Glory in the background.
Nice touch.

arent you the one who always says its ok to hate people and say what you like?. so its alright to hate an entire race of people but not to make fun of somebody?


where the hell are peoples sense of humour these days,


peace.

i thought thats when it becomes fun.


peace.

Nope, I never said it was okay to say what you like! Hate someone, hate everyone, hate a race of people, hate a religion, hate ....anything and everything ....but never did I say it was okay to "say what you like".

In fact, if you read my posts, you'll see that I'm quite the opposite ....I think if you don't like what someone says about you or someone you like, it's perfectly okay to blow his brains out with a 105mm howitzer!

So its alright to hate an entire race of people but not to make fun of somebody?

Yeah, something like that.

But it's funny, odd, strange, ...the greater majority of people here (except for me!) profess such high n' mighty ideals of wonderful, beautiful relationships with people, and high ideals of compassion for others, yet the very same people (except for me!) seem perfect content with making fun of or openly, usually maliciously, teasing others.

where the hell are peoples sense of humour these days,

I think that's what we were all asking the Muslims when they made such a big deal about a silly, little cartoon of Mohammed. Remember that? I think some Muslims killed some people over it, didn't they?

Geez, where's the humor, huh? Ask the guys who had their heads cut off, maybe they can tell you.

I have never proffessed high n' mighty ideals of wonderful relationships if you have read my posts. I don't think we can all play nice! I have never said
that I love everyone or even try too....and have never denied making fun of or yes even a "personal attack" on someone.
I say what I think and how I feel. I don't say one thing and act another way.

SO the (except for me) is wrong!

yes i have noticed that people support certain ethics and high standards of morals, then openly make fun of people i must admit. i tend to make fun of people alot but i am only joking but do include alot of half truths in my jokes, im for open humour i think we need to joke about things and make light of the serious and spiteful things that go on. i dont take myself or others to seriously. life is far more enjoyable when we dont take things so serious,


i cant speak for a small minority of muslims, some people are dickheads i do not support any killings that were made over a cartoon. but on the other hand i will make a joke about it if i choose,


but i still find it strange that you will say its ok to hate an entire race of people, yet be against and oppose making fun of an individual. thats crazy to me, its like the total opposite to my own logic. but i guess we are very different in that aspect and every man to his own. but i would say making fun of an individual is better than stereotyping and bieng prejudice against an entire race.

Shorty, don't get all upset and hyper ....you'll note that I said "...the greater majority...." I threw in the (except for me!) simply to make a point that I was the one that people continue to claim that I hate everyone ...yet, in many cases, I'm much nicer than they are.

Baron Max

If sandy has no hassles why are other people getting their panties in a bunch?

HAHa me upset and hyper come on.... Well I don't hate everyone, but I hate some ppl and I won't deny it. Why pretend and talk all high and mighty? and be afraid to say you don't like ppl. Is it a crime not to like everybody? Some ppl around here talk as if it is.

I even got accused in one post of being like you!:eek: But some of the things you say, I do agree with.

See? I think you're good at it ....but it's because you're almost NEVER serious about any of the posts/threads. That can make it seem like you're the jester of the group ...just playing for the fun of it. See? That's different to what others do/say here ...sometimes serious, sometimes fun, sometimes personally hateful, sometimes malicious as hell. Big difference.

i cant speak for a small minority of muslims, some people are dickheads i do not support any killings that were made over a cartoon. but on the other hand i will make a joke about it if i choose,

Well, I'd be careful just where and to whom you make such a joke! The publishers of that cartoon thought it was a joke, too, remember? And someone lost their life over it.

but i still find it strange that you will say its ok to hate an entire race of people, yet be against and oppose making fun of an individual. thats crazy to me, its like the total opposite to my own logic.

Ahh, but see, it's not illogical to me (and maybe some others). So we have to be somewhat careful about making assumptions about other people. There are people who really will blow your head off for a simple comment. That might be humorous to you, but with your head in pieces, that won't matter too much to you, will it? :D

but i would say making fun of an individual is better than stereotyping and bieng prejudice against an entire race.

Remember now, hating an entire race or an entire religion or whatever is one thing, but saying something nasty about them is quite another. One is emotional and usually held close to oneself ...making nasty comments is action against that race or religion or whatever.

For example, I might hate all Muslims; me and my buddies might use special-made targets when we practice shooting, ......but I would never, ever publish a cartoon of their most revered prophet Mohammed. Big difference, don'tcha' see?

Baron Max

Oh, geez, Shorty! You should never admit that, even if it's true!! So take two aspirin, drink plenty of fluids (good Irish whiskey is recommended!), get plenty of rest and don't call in the morning. :D

yeah some people have no sense of humour and take things to serious. i openly make fun of islam infront of my muslim friends, they can take a joke when i call mohammed, "ham head", (a great halal pork joke, that as far as im concerned i made up),


and yeah thats why i have said before in many philosophy threads that logic is subjective, because clearly your logic is not my logic. and i respect your opinions and know they are very different to my own, but its still ok for us to agree to dissagre and have a debate about it ofcourse :).


and i do joke alot on this forum (and in real life). but i also post replies that are not j0okes atall and are my 100% true opinion with no humour involved. its fun to watch people try and figure out if im joking or serious.

M*W: No, it's not wrong for you to make fun of a mustachieod Christie Brinkley. If Christie Brinkley knew that "Sandy" was using her image, I think she would be livid. I can only imagine what "Sandy" really looks like! She's an exposure combination between Hitler, Christie Brinkley, and Pepe Le Pew.

i don't see how logic is subjective either something meets the quailifiers to be logical or it doesn't

let me explain,

logic is subjective to the mindset of the observer. it revolves around current belief system of the individual. if a current populous hold truth in a certain theory in physics, it is logical for things to obey certain laws of physics to them, logic is what we think is truth. logic is what we predict based on things we know as facts,


but say for instance we dont know the physics behind a certain event or "thing", how can we apply logic of current physics to explain it? our logic will have to evolve to understand new logic, like with a black hole if we apply current physics to what happens after entry upon the event horizon, it would not fit correctly. the logic of a religious person is not the same as an athiest.


its logical for one person for a god to exist, and its logical to another to think he doesent, one of them might be right and the other wrong, but on each individual level they both obey different logic,

peace.

but as for making fun of someone through their avatar based on their stupid/ignorant comments....What the hell are political cartoons then ?
