I agree with you Winston. What's next, genghis khan avatars?

[Winston]

I had someone else in mind who thought along the same lines as Stalin, a contemporary who admired Stalin's brutality and ruthlessness as much as Stalin did his, despite them being mortal enemies. After they were like peas and carrots for a while, that is.

Come on Winston, you can't be seriously upset about Stalin avatar?

Gandhi? Doesn't someone else use him as their avatar?

I am. I think it takes an incredibly ahistorical, insensitive and superficial mind to even consider representing oneself with a portrait of Stalin.

[Pekka]

Ok. Well, if I put on a crying baby face as avatar, would that compensate and kind of bring harmony again?

[Winston]

I already said he could carry on. I'm not the one keeping this exchange going.

[Pekka]

You know Stalin doesn't need our permission. We will disappear before permission is needed

Anyway, I think that's being overly sensitive. It's just a picture. Challenge him to put a picture of mohammad instead.. but I don't think he has the balls!

That's just evil! Who would do such a thing?

Where it's from is hardly the point, joncha.

I had to voice my disgust at encountering such an image. But by all means, carry on worshipping your precious mass murderers.

That's rich, coming from someone who's government collaborated with Hitler

[Pekka]

brings up an interesting point though.. I bet you can't have yourself any Hitler avs..

[Kuciwalker]

We have Albert Speer, don't we?

ROFLMAO - you can't pick a spot in europe where there hasn't been committed some crime in history, but noone would ever be so stupid to say that it displays the current owners iews.

This is really stupid and at the same time scary - is it such idiotics that are deciding politics in US ?

OMG, I agree with BlackCat!

What a horrible avatar that is. But of course, that's the reaction you hoped for.

I just think it's in incredibly bad taste.

I don't have the ability to select a custom avatar yet

Did you handle the deed to CharlesBHoff's secret services?
