That's exactly what you are son, whitenoise trying to be a musical.
No, i have no interest in a discussion with you. Have a nice day now, y'hear.

Your constant attempts to throw the slur "racist" around at everybody who isn't part of your little clique while defending those who freely express actual racist sentiments is laughable. The idea that an image from Roots, one of the most culturally important anti-racist TV events, is "racist" and "offensive" is borderline moronic.
You're not a "prosecutor" except in your own twisted mind; you're just RN's muppet.

People in western cultures have imposed that line upon the us. This is an international site and I have already stated that this symbol is WIDELY used by many eastern religions.
in fact, it's a bit hard to find a culture that HASN'T used swastikas completely unrelated to german nationalists.
which of course is the very reason why hitler picked it up, to back up the fabricated ancient mythological heritage he created.
Originally posted by SunburntNow you get my point. You KNOW so you take it for granted. Not everybody is fortunate enough to KNOW.
It was a coyote and no, I was not offended. I know there will be people who don't understand why I did what I did and what benefit it had for my kids. That's ok. I KNOW I do a good job and that my kids are curious and have some depth.
We all have our mean sides. Me included. Don't be like some people on this site and see one road ahead, you'll be fine.

The Finns were Hitler's allies. The swedes closet allies.
The Finns still use the swastika on some of their flags.
That doesn't change the fact that the swastika is offensive to many many people.
If one of you swastika fans wants to make a point, why not use one as your avatar and let's see how long it lasts.
Originally posted by Red NightCould you please provide a list (I realize it will probably take up about 3 pages) of non-pornographic images that you think shouldn't be used as avatars?

Why shouldn't someone be able to use a swastika as an avatar?
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundThere are many things I would object to in this article. One, it shows nudity. Two, it is antisemitic.... There is no two ways about it. Do you not understand the difference between this and a swastika?
If i had this as an avatar, and someone objected....would they be right or wrong?
