    Still tellies lies eh SAM? I have you on ignore, but just viewed this one post. The avatar you were forced to removed was not a 'bobblehead' Hitler at all, but a photo of the man himself doing a salute. You were a moderator at the time (although that soon came to an end) and should have known better.

    Don't bother replying, I have you on ignore.

    Strange suggestion, coming from you.
    It's like saying "If we want to make an end to child abuse, let's not have children anymore."

    Obviously, some avatars are pleasing, and some are not. To turn off the avatar feature in one's profile would hide away both the pleasing and the displeasing ones.

    This is a typical extremist republican approach to getting his point across in the form of a picture that once it's seen can never be unseen and could become a subconscious influence on all your future decisions at the polls.

    Republicans are the lowest form of politician ever created.

    Would you be opposed to some form of public televised torture?

    How about Monday night crucifixations - they could be run as the half time show for monday night football.

    be sure to include the obligatory scantily clad women with nice shapely uh, well, you get the idea.

    now that's an idea. include naked men/ women pictures with the infraction notice.

    Most politicians are the lowest form of politician.

    Here's a quote from the site where that picture was found.

    This mindset that it's only the "other side" (Republicans/Democrats) that engages in these tactics is delusional.

    Are these all just examples of "typical extremist republicans" attacking their own?

    Eh why would I lie? Its on the public record. I did it for a specific reason.

    But nice to know that you have me on ignore. At least I can be spared much of your BS

    edit: I checked my avatars folder and you're right, it's not a bobblehead - it looked like one to me. But makes no difference - the point was about "offensive" imagery

    here is the avatar I was asked to remove btw [from my avatar folder]

    Thats the price you pay for being intolerant. You miss out. Why should others?

    I find Giam's avatar annoying...but I also think it expresses his opinion of Obama.

    If he thinks Obama's a fascist dictator...I don't agree with him, but that's the visual analogy I read with that picture. He does indeed have a right to think that of Obama, whether I agree with him or not.

    Meh. *Shrug*

    I'm not the site owner.

    I guess this will have to suffice for now.

    The "War on Terror" lasts as long as they say it will. It's the war that has no end. And in time of "war" there are always abuses of power. Hence, there will be no end to abuse of powers.

    But this one's also great.

    No one notices.

    Tyranny is easy to spot in hindsight. It always looks different when you're in the midst of it.

    Nice pictures and yes I can't really argue with your statement.

    Avatars can be quite useful in setting the proper stage for an intended communication. I like this topic. Next time I feel a violent rage coming on, I know just the avatar to use.

    I've always found people putting others on "ignore" to be a bit childish.
    But what do I know, being a stupid racist birther right-wing Republican?
    Answer: not a hell of a lot. I dodo. I stupid. Never make point.

    You want to know what look like? Look up Neanderthal. We're indistinguishable.

    My opinion that he's no real change from our last president?
    Amen.
    I don't see why pictorial summations of a president or politician are ever wrong.

    Oh. So you're going to use an avatar like mine? Or default to a previous president?

    My problem is that people think that one president can do the same as another and be completely unaccountable.
    All of the above examples I posted are valid.
    This isn't about Democrats vs. Republicans or anything stupid like that.

    I'm tired of people overlooking faults of one over another.

    It doesn't matter to me, all of them are ripe for the picking.
