blahblahblah said:Can you please change you avatar, CrazyHarij?
Sprafa said:[Orson Welles]I'm amazed with the reaction of some forum members to a simple image.
But, what the hell, I made it exactly to see the reaction of the people on this forum.
I'm very sorry for all the reasonable people that might have been hurt by this.
Pretty cool to see the reaction tho. I hope nodoby's hurt.

blahblahblah said:Can you please change you avatar, CrazyHarij?
CrazyHarij said:No, I want to keep it. Why, you might ask?
Because as most of you know I'm into the buddhist way of life and the swastika is closely related to buddhism and Asia, also used in Hinduism.
Seems like I have to explain what it really means since no one here knows it..
In english it's 4 L's : Love, Life, Luck and Light.
In buddhism it represents the Brahma, and Swastika means Good Luck in sanskrit.
The nazi swastika you guys are talking about is in fact a Sauwastika and has the same symbol but tilted or turned the other way in some cases. Don't associate nazism with a symbol of good just because some madman took it and used it for his faction.

CptStern said:heh I was going to say something about how your avatar objectifies women but I thought that might prove unpopular :E
CrazyHarij said:I'm using the western version of it. The left-facing one was also used as a nazi symbol while this one wasn't. I'd change to the left-facing one if people wouldn't come with nazi symbols looking exactly like it.
NeLi said:She's just riding a mechanical bull :naughty:
CrazyHarij said:I'm going to change it.. I want to thank Dedalus for reminding me.
I'm sorry to everyone, especially those who found it offensive and I want to apologise for struggling against you.
blahblahblah said:Thank-you. :cheers:

According to some, Noo-noo and the Teletubbies made me gay. Damned Tinky-winky.Fat Tony! said:boring, you guys make a fuss over nothing. Crazy fools . You should all have avatars like mine, when did noo noo ever hurt you?
It isn't just a peice of cloth, it represent somthing and burning it is meant to send a message. That message is mostly, **** YOU!MaxiKana said:I really think it's stupid that people get offended when burning a piece of cloth with a specific pattern on it. I just cant comprehend whats so special about it. I mean jeez, it's a flag, a piece of cloth.
that was meSprafa said:You see , blahblahblah asked to change the avatar and I did. Because everything this little four people movement did was bashing, only one of them actually asked me to change my avatar (I was asleep).
gh0st said:though its petty that you seek this "reaction", i guess youve got it. but just remember, if it wasent for that flag youd still be under nazi tyranny (most likely). you might think were sad, or call us a "movement" but we are only doing what you did, which was stupid to begin with, especially given the reaction you knew it would have.
oh good this debate. at some point, like all of hitlers other allies, he would have turned on them in much the same way as russia. im aware portugal was neuteral, i dont need your history lesson, thanks, and even you must admit the united states played a..THE.. pivotal role in world war 2, its ignorant to say otherwise.CptStern said:portugal was neutral during ww2 ...hitler would never have made it to portugal, his ally Franco (dictator of spain) stood in his way. BTW the US wasnt the only country fighting in ww2 (revisionist armchair historians notwithstanding)

no year was specified, i dont know why youre bringing any of this up. lets drop the world war 2 debate anyway, its so pointless. blame my conservative school textbooks if you want, this isnt the discussion.CptStern said:no it didnt ...it took another 3 years for the german war machine to start backpeddling ...Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and France were there since 1939
Umm...I don't remember exactly but wasn't South Africa on the Axis side?CptStern said:no it didnt ...it took another 3 years for the german war machine to start backpeddling ...Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and France were there since 1939
no, it may have been some allied countries territory at the time, im not sure.Foxtrot said:Umm...I don't remember exactly but wasn't South Africa on the Axis side?
