      Guess I'll stick to it a while longer then
      Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
      And notifying the next of kin
      Once again...

          if a symbol i support offends someone, and it is taken away, logically any symbol that offends me should be similarly removed.

          and my neighbor has a bumper sticker that says "don't rape history, macedonia is greek", and they don't have a father.

          for all i know macedonians killed him.

          they're nice people. it's too bad the macedonians tortured him for several weeks before finally killing him.

          i am mortally offended by the macedonian crest and want it removed from all avatars.


          Hmmm... it seems like a childish response to the restriction placed on him not to use Nazi symbolism in his avatars...

            The white supremist flag wasn't any better.

            Odd choice of how to represent yourself if your not a hatemonger in some fashion.

              No, they don't. I might have taken this a bif off context, but in any case moderators don't have the right to do what they please. They have the right to do what the admins have given them the right to do. Just like us. It's just that the mods have been given more rights...

                OK, Lighty - I stand corrected - but there is still no free speech on ACS -- which was the point I was trying to make...

                    The freedom of speech is sacrosanct, but I see no reason to strive for freedom of speech on Poly, as nobody has anything that can't be expressed on other forums or through other media.

                    Freedom of speech is something that is applied to a society as a whole, not to a single medium of a single group. As long as there is a time and a place for free speech within a larger society it does not need to be present everywhere. Can you imagine if an atheist declared their repression at not being able to express their views from the church pulpit? Or a mysogynist complaining that he is not allowed to express his opinion at a Femminists' rally?

                      Yes I can. Beautiful glorious chaos.

                        Funny, I always thought feminist rallys were misogynist convents.

                        Anyway, anybody who wishes to express their hearts content bout anything are free to do so. In their own medium. When you use someone else's, their rules apply. Simple as that.

                        But just for the record, while I think UKs avatars are tastless and stupid they're not particularly more so than the whole horde of commie avatars being sported here on 'Poly.

                            Why would a person who hates women be a femminist?

                              You'll be shocked and surprised to learn commies never had more than 20% of the popular vote in Sweden, even back in the 20s when communism was all the rage in Europe.

                              Now, I understand most of you yank farmboys having a wee bit of trouble differentiating between social democrats and commies, but that's your problem.

                                Why, instigating and promulgating programs that guarantee loss of respect and professional recognition for talented women seems terribly misogynist to me. Which is what feminists are all about these days, isn't it?
