Lies!
The only argument going on is whether or not I'm a big meanie-head!

If only they knew what my avatar was... the uproar would be... nonexistent, seriously people would just scratch their heads and shrug.

Unfortunately, the internet is serious business. Forgive me if this is out of line, but what did he attempt to frame you for? It's not out of line in PM. asimo77 wrote:Well on the plus side if they are all wearing those I can pick em out with my AK!

Honestly, the pork thing is one of the main issues I just can't understand. Why would God make something so delicious, and then forbid us to eat it? Theodicy is one thing, bacon is quite another.

Honestly I have no idea, like I said I don't consider myself muslim anymore but the one thing I hold vehemently to is not eating pork. It is completely irrational but it's so engrained in my psyche that I can't bring myself to eat it. Of course just about anything else is fair game.

I Love pork. But why would a religion say no pork D: of course I do know of a religion that says. No Chocolate, No Cows, No Pork, No Fish and no Women for 5 years... Wtf? Yeah. Weird religions but Islam is a great religion! Don't get me wrong, it has great values! Which is sadly lacked on the Internet.
Anyway. Offensive Avatars are not that hard to come by. the only i ever found that i find offensive is the one that shows a furry.

Burn the heretic! Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean!
Did I get that right?

My avatar used to be a parody of old propaganda modified to reflect my views on modern times. It had no swastika, no image of Hitler, or even a big boobed blond with an AR-15. It was just an Eagle with "USSA" across the front and an Obama campaign logo in the claws. Mods didn't like it... at least one was man enough to PM me with the reason. My suspicion is that some of the more left-leaning decided it was "offensive" because it looked like Nazi artwork.
Technically we're guests here and don't have rights to squat, so your avatar stays at the Mods' discretion. Their power, your choice to continue to stay or go elsewhere with your avatar.
