White Oak Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have noticed two images on GR.NET that i find extremely offensive, these two images being Tyovans Zionist flag, and a new poster who has the Communist hammer and sickle. Now not to go to into the politics of these offensive images, but i feel they should either be removed, or in the sense of fair play, then i should be allowed a Swastika as my avatar. Fairs fair.

Rocky Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 You sir are a trouble maker. You are also obviously not interested in Ghost Recon (at least not by your recent posting history), so it's time you moved on to find a site remotely interested in your opinions. Banned for persistant argumentative and offensive postings and ignoring 3 previous warnings for this exact offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I know weve had the Nazi one under discussion before, and your defiantly not allowed them personally I just think your stirring the pot, a Communist Hammer and Sickle is the same as a UK Labour Party Rose its a real Government logo the Peoples Republic China is still communist as is other countries. As for the Zionist flag, I think its a simple tie in with his text about if the war was over tommorow Zions were the party would be as a quote from Tank from the Matrix. Therefore I dont see how either could be offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insaneflyingmonkey Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Comminism is a viable form of government. I AM A COMMUNIST. I follow Marxist communism as outlined in the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engles. I wanna get one thing perfectly clear: WHAT STALIN DID WAS NOT COMMUNISM. He was as communist as Hitler was socialist (National Socialist Praty). He formed a totalitarian government under the guise that it was communism. Now, here's the kicker: In communism there is ideally NO LEADER, because everything is decided democratically. If there should be no leader, then how was Stalin (Mao, Castro, etc...) communist? Only because capitalist US media told you so. It's common belief that Hitler was Fascist, not Socialist, so why not recognize Stalin as a Fascist too? Sorry, that was my brief shpeel. I shall never mention my political alignment at GR.net again, as the rules state against Political discussions. @Rocky: Nice ban! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WytchDokta Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) I'd better remove my avatar then. After all, it is an offensive weapon. Also it's the pic from the front of the Devilution album by Lab 4....some people may take offence to the ravers.... ****Puts Bonkers 12 CD1 - Mixed by Hixxy back on**** Edited June 20, 2004 by [Wx] .:Nightmare:.

ninjas_eat_pirates Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) Not that I feel the need to justify my avatar, but for the record I used it for the simple fact that I like the symbols, and the way it looks. May seem strange to some I suppose, and I'm sorry if it offends anyone else. Edited June 20, 2004 by ninjas_eat_pirates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
