There's more meaning behind my avatar then you'll know. But point taken.
sorry Charlie, I can't see sarcasm on the internets
Hey - If you want to explain your now defunct avatar (I really was only making a point - but I applaude your willingness to work with me), I'm willing to listen. I hardly would ever call the Christian "Crusades" of the Middle Ages, or most "missionary work" remotely respectfull of other peoples' views - I'm well aware of how Protestant Christianity has been nearly a push as far as the amount of good vs. bad it has done in the greater picture.
Anyhow, I really mean it about the explaination (PM me if you want) - I'm always game to hear anyone's viewpoint, and I have seen from your posts you have at least a few brain cells kickin' - so please take me up on that.
I don't know your ethnicity, background, religion, etc. - but I am always more than interested in hearing an intelligent persons' viewpoints.
Aside from all that, is it really anything to worry about another persons' sig line? Really, I think the more blatant some choose to show their views - the more I know whose opinions I value versus whose I could care less about.
I know as a decent part minority myself - I've picked up on quite a few racist views here, but in reality since it's the Internet it's never personal - and in fact it's just part of R3V in general - and I like it just fine, since both R3v & the intenet aren't worth really getting worked up over. In general, I even like the political incorrectness of R3V.
I have more hesitation towards a few members here who don't even know they're racist, etc. than the ones who have blatent, flagrant - almost comical broadcasts of extreme views. I've seen from your posts you are more than smart enough to sort out the differences too, so why did this guy's sig offend you so much?
Cliff notes version : I was kidding. I respect you & your views (Il duce), and I don't see the point in even worrying about an ignorant person's sig on R3V, let alone the internet.
Oh, and to Mudflaps - you sig isn't even funny - so why you even have it, let alone defend it is beyond me. It's possibly original (only if YOU photochopped it), but not funny. And it's fairly lame you aren't willing to take into account another person's viewpoint when asked to do so - how would you feel if the tables were turned?
I hope I dont get myself in trouble here but if someone told me I was a cracker, I would probably get hungry before I was offended. Or if sombody is saying towel head I would want to take a shower maybe.
To me physical action is the only thing anyone has to worry about.
i see your point and everything, but seriously, its R3V. are you going to ask Pasha to take down his sig too? its a matter of picking your battles...and in the grand scheme of things, its not that big of a deal. I'd say that if the sig offends anyone of Islamic heritage on the board, let them speak and then deal with it from there.
wow, what's with singling out one thing and being offended by it? There are thousands of things on here that could be taken offensive, but that's just the way it is here. If you don't want to see it then block his shit or don't visit anymore. Problem solved.
I am islamic, and that sig is extremely offensive you stupid american fuck.
I will now destroy buildings in self-suicidal fashion. i want my 23 virgins!!!
OK, jk, i am not of islamic descent, i just had to do it.
You wouldn't belive me if I told you what the translation of what the Islamic Millitants use out of the Quran as "Virgins". Really quite funny, Think how valuable salt was in Biblical times, and now. Then, think how valuable white rasins (dried grapes ending up a light brownish yellow) Their value was paramount in those times... So, kill I say, your rasins are waiting.
