Salyphus Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I actually agree that an avatar glorifying violence is far more offensive to any sane person than one glorifying sex or love, even if that is same sex (get over it already people!). Still, what can you do? Most people are morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had an avatar, it would be Ginger Baker's then-pre-pubescent daughter nude from the Blind Faith album cover, and that would probably upset some folks too- so probably good I just have this pumpkin thing if it's still there.

Really, it's getting old. What ever happened to "don't feed the troll?" Well I insist I'm not a troll, but I'm done defending myself in that regard. I'm also not a sad pathetic little weasel of a dweeb in need of attention. Well, maybe I am a little, but no more than most others. And at least I'm not a know-it-all who has all the answers to all the world's problems who's never wrong and is beyond all reproach. I find that much more annoying than your garden variety troll, but who's counting. I do think these boards are interesting in how they work when talking "philosophically" or "hypothetically" about the world out there, as if it were different then the world in here. Glass houses...blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I think TheWewus is right when he says, "your're not our kind". This troll label has happened too many times, so obviously I don't fit in here, even when I'm goofing around. And that's perfectly alright!! So thanks for the laughs, and please don't feed me, I'm on a diet. Peace and kisses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wewus432 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I really don't have a lot of patience for someone trying to make a "statement" with their Avatar. If you want to make a statement around here, you should just probably go ahead and make it. We're not stupid. Exposure to violence is worse than exposure to sex. Got it!

nursers Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I believe the image was inappropriate for a forum used by children (Bunny for example) and by people in workplaces. It's also great that Zzzz changed it Now all I wanna know is: which is better, Mac or PC?

Truth be told, I was just making a little dig at the homo-erotic nature of the military and war. But it was more just a joke. Not supposed to shock or offend. People joke a lot here, as much if not more than they are serious. The fact that people were offended, and started arguing about it, happened while I wasn't here. As soon as I saw people were offended, I took it down, and that's when it became a statement. The fact that some people are offended by 2 guys kissing in the year 2004 speaks for itself. And Mr. Weasel man, what are you, a vigilante? I can't help but notice that you never defend me when I'm getting bullied. I guess that's because you're too busy being the bully.

When I first adopted the Weasel moniker many years ago, I started learning about them. The animal version... I already was familiar with the human version. A good example is this guy, the Least Weasel. http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/images/least_weasel.jpg The least weasel's diet consists of mice, rats, moles, small birds, bird's eggs, rabbits, and poultry. The least weasel's claws and sharp teeth help this animal to catch their prey. The least weasel is the smallest carnivore in the world. It can kill prey up to 5 times its own size. Five times! That's crazy. It kills by sinking its razor-sharp teeth into the brain of its prey. Heavy, man.

Stephen Fortner Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Well, mine's intended as a literary reference to "Gravity's Rainbow." (Rocket 00000). The pic is a German V2, so I suppose it could offend WWII veterans, Jewish people, and residents of areas of England that got hit by the things. My old one was an image of one of the tiles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis-Brown house. It's been used as a location in a bazillion movies, most notably "Blade Runner." I gots me some snobby, Fraiser Crane-ass avatars, don't I? Time to go surfing for an image of Mojo Jojo from "Powerpuff Girls." Frustrated monkey trying to take over the world... I feel like that a lot of the time.
