Mr. Not Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 av·a·tar : representing a particular personGot that covered... :sigh: To be honest this kind of sh*t really doesn't bother me in the least.

JohnRogers Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Since everybody except Jim Lahey has chimed in I'll spend two cents. The Nazi SS were probably the best dressed mo-fos ever. I'm not some PC softie. I wouldn't post pics of them off topic or in an avatar. I'd certainly change my avatar if it got this much attention. Maybe some old muscle car built in Dearborn. Just an opinion, you're mileage may vary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe I should the image of a convicted child rapist, just because the picture is interesting. I'm sure he'll say go ahead, because it's your intent that matters.. You know what Ford's intent really is? It's to get people bickering... He wants to blow a pseudo-intellectual load all over those who call him a pest "No I'm not! These things are subjective! Moral equivalence! Blah blah blah... Why are you getting offended so easily? Aren't you supposed to be an adult? Control your emotions, let's be mature here... Look at me!" We should ignore it and stop derailing this thread. What a silly post. You should go into business as a psychic, although you'd be completely wrong, like the rest of them. Silly? Why do you keep trying to stir things up? Why would you deliberately want to make somebody upset? I just don't get that mindset. Avatars generally are things that people like or want to represent them. A lot of people have been hurt by the war, my own included. It's either ignorance on your part or a deliberate intention to be controversial. If it's neither of those, it's got to be deliberate meanness at this point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Actually, what's up with the Himmler thing? Seems a little f***ed to me It's just a picture of a historical figure. Does everything have to be sending a message? We don't need to remember him. If he had had his way, families like mine would not be here. But he didn't and here you are.What about the axiom "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it"? I'm not glorifying him or what he did, just using a picture I find interesting. Actually, what's up with the Himmler thing? Seems a little f***ed to me It's just a picture of a historical figure. Does everything have to be sending a message? you put a guy like that in your avatar and it sends a message that you don't care whether people think you're an asshole. So now I'm an asshole just because I used a prominent Nazi as an avatar? Shouldn't you at least read some of my posts and try to make a more informed decision? Are people so touchy that simply looking at a picture is so objectionable that they label the person using it? What if I had the Piss Christ display? Or maybe they "art" of a picture of Jesus smeared with elephant crap? Would that offend your delicate sensibilities too? aaaaaaand...CONFIRMED! I never said that I was offended, only that your avatar makes it clear that you don't care whether people think you're an asshole. this post makes it clear that you don't care whether people think you're a DISINGENUOUS asshole. at the very least, man, you should own it. I wan't going to post any thing, But you guys need to lighten up. It is only a picture and I have already talked with him about it. BTW, do you think life would be better off forgetting past evil in the world? And the evil that is now present around the world? It should never be forgotten. Would you bi*** at me for watching a documentary on Hitler?I've never heard of anyone using an avatar to represent something they hate. Have you? This isn't about forgetting evil. I've seen plenty of documentaries on Hitler, I've read Shirer's book and another 900 page biography on him (Toland, maybe?) The thought crossing my mind of using any of these POSs as my avatar is the same as there is that I'll wear a shirt with Che Guevara's picture....zero. Who cares, Its only a picture. He has his reasons and your judging some one you don't even know. I despise the Hitler regime just like most. Does that mean they should close the tours at Auschwitz?That's (the Auschwitz references) is completely different as has been noted above. I'm not even saying he should have to change it although the admins have that right. I'm just saying that it's offensive and that it says more about him than the ones objecting to it. And as far as stimulating conversation is concerned, are there really two sides to any argument about f***ing Himmler? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, some people think that a picture or piece of art you choose, represents your beliefs and morals and can make you an asshole.

Janie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Janie's are awesome because even though there is a lot of turnover, it's all the same theme. The more that things change, the more they stay the same. And Umoveme has pretty consistently been using some Kristen Wiig AV, so that's great, too.I like the caricature. I never change her. It's always her but usually I change her once a week to something random or something that pertains to a certain post I've made. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he bragged about the Nazis and shown his love for them?So far the only comment I remember reading about Himmler (and I will be glad to apologize if I'm wrong) is that the "man" was an interesting historical figure. If you make a comment about Himmler that stops with "he was an interesting historical figure" as if nothing more needed to be said, I believe that says something right there, none of it good. As a matter of fact, Himmler isn't even a particularly interesting historical figure, there's no nuance there, just pure evil, a cardboard cutout of a "human being".
