Zylka's avatar

[Adagio]

Well... Zylka... I can't see the "humour" in your avatar, so I can't see how that profs you're a genius... actually it proves that you're not...

[Skanky Burns]

It was funny due to its subtlety. But ultimately it failed, as he was caught. The point of such a thing is to see how long he could go without being caught - less than 1 day is pathetic.

Yeah...who was it a while back, who had the animated avatar where the ship would ocassionally sink? That was good.

Diss--I wouldn't have any problem with it (being a good ol Southern hick*), but ask a mod first.

*this is NOT to be taken as that I am racist in any way; again, we get to the definition of "active preaching." My southern hick reference as such is that the civil war is an important event in Southern history (we've got waaaay too much time on our hands between marryin our cuzzins and huntin' ducks).

Some of my teachers called it birdwalking. As translated to be relevant to the forums, a topic evolves so that it's not still based around its titlesake but interesting discussion is (usually) still going on.

That looks alot like my precalc computations. I still don't understand why I failed.

[Skanky Burns]

But math never was Ming's strong-point.

I hear it can be punishing when he calculates PCRs. Twenty percent of 1000, , PCR= 1250.

I missed his nazy avatar, can someone post a picture of it? The only one I seen yesterday was an avatar with a penis in it That was the first thing I noticed about it. What does that say about me?

Are we allowed to have confederate battle flags as avatars?

As the only Confederate sympathizing, southern moderator on this site, I will tell you in all likelihood, not only no, but hell no, on account of some inbred redneck *******s who've coopted the battle flag and used it as a symbol of modern white supremacist movements and intimidation of non-white Protestants. (The Klan only despises Catholics and Jews a little less than non-whites)

My usual avatar is the first Confederate national flag. I have stars and bars wallpapers for my computer, but they're also specific regimental colors of regiments my ancestors fought in. The regimental designations, battle honors, etc. won't show on an 80 x 80 avatar, so I've never used those.

Not to mention that it's representative of a rebellious faction of the country that wanted to continue to own other human beings, and buy and sell them like chattel.

Damn straight! They should have denounced other people owning slaves while having whole cattle-pens of slaves themselves like that fine upstanding statesman Thomas Jefferson!

Exactly! Though at least Jefferson was willing to acknowledge that it was a mistake. I doubt that the CSA would've done away with slavery before the end of the 19th century.

Let's move this thread to the OT forum... might get more traffic there. As for this point, Jefferson had many opportunities to free the slaves, but chose not because of the financial harship he would have endured setting them free.
