Alby made it

I'm not putting up the Hammer and Sickle. I have my reasons for it. I don't mind a commie themed avatar, but I will not put it up.

You don't mind a commie-themed avatar. Okay, so since the hammer and sickle is generally recognized as a symbol of communism, why would you have a problem with that?

Congrats AlB

Remember I went to a Russian Mennonite church. These folks lost family and friends to the regime. I stayed for about a year with a very nice lady who lost both parents before she was able to get herself and her son out.

My close friend's parents did the same thing - they escaped.

Trotsky - for all his flaws, was not a part of the Holodomor - the mass murder of Ukrainians. He was out by 1927 - it was after, under Stalin, that this nonsense started.

That, to me, is what that flag represents.

Would I be permitted to fly a Nazi flag here? I Strongly doubt that this is so.

How so? I have a Commie-themed avatar.

I did that last time too - with a Captain Romerica avatar that was better than the original that dinodoc proposed (and people
actually liked that avatar).

Was it embarrassing? Hell yeah. I ****ing hate Romney.

See- to me that's what avatar bets are all about. Finding something that makes people go either, "Oh, that's absolutely perfect!" or embarrassing enough that someone who's not privy to the original conversation is wondering why I'm sporting this avatar...

To me, it's not about being a ****. That's not the purpose here.

Gribbler, et al, firmly on the side of being a **** just to be a ****.

I'll remember this for next time, so I can suggest the Nazi flag and make someone wear one.

He didn't honor the agreement, but from his reply to my question about it, it sounds like he may have a respectable reason.

HERE YOU GO *******.

YOU'RE JUST A P-U-S-S-Y.

How about someone makes a thread to discuss this in rather than mucking up Alby's nice congratulations thread.

Yes, this please. Again, sorry to Albie for mucking up his thread.

Whatever dude. That's, like, your opinion, man.
