Discrimination and injustice at Apolyton!

[Harovan]

Everyone and his mother on this site is able to depict the flag of his country with an array of smileys. We have scores of yellow and red smileys, sufficient blue, green and white (or light grey) ones and even an orange smiley for those pesky people from south Asia.

But we Germans are discriminated, because this site lacks a black smiley. I tried for a while to get around it by using these new rectangular Civ related icons, but all of them have another color clearly dominating the black background, so they aren't useful.

There is yet another reason, if you take the smileys as representation of skin colors. We have enough to represent Asia and native America, some for Europe, and even blue and green for goblins and orcs! And where is the representation for Africans? Are they not humans in the eyes of Apolyton??

This is an outrageous injustice, a blatant case of discrimination, tantamount to racism! I'm deeply offended!

The conclusion is, we are in sore need of a dominantly black smiley.

We need that even more than
- frog
- vomit
- better crying
smileys. And with at least the same priority as teh :happyputin: smiley.

I'm sure, our friends and brothers from Belgium as well as the whole Africa will understand and support this demand!

Maybe you shouldn't have tried to kill all the Jews, huh?

I have never seen a red herring named Godwin before. I love Apolyton; learn something new everyday.

I support this proposal (but still think that:
-frog
-vomit
-better crying
-happy putin
smileys are more important).

Also, teh problem with teh white smiley is that :stunned: is too long a string of text to use more than six times consecutively on one line. So we should get:
-black
-white
smileys, too.

odd that the folks who want to display the German flag via smilies, dont display the BundesRepublik flag via the flag option.

I looked for the "BundesRepublik" option in the flag list and didn't find it, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

Since this option is obviously lacking, I may as well express my support for the independence of the people of Seborga from their Italian oppressors. That is my right in a democracy, backed by the freedom of speech.

How is the weather in France, by the way? Many traffic in Paris, or whereever you come from?

Look at my current flag. Is that not the Bundesrepublik flag? Did I make a spelling mistake or something?

Of course I dont always use the US flag. But then Im not asking for smileys to enable to me make it either

I'm not very fond of the politics of my country right now; in fact, I filed a constitutional complaint this very morning (seriously, albeit together with thousands of others).

But as you will notice I am fighting for others (like Belgians) as well. Even people who want to troll Germany (like this bloke: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...05#post5114405 ) can't do it properly without black smiley!

So you'd better sign my petition!

well just as well then.


Lets all fly the Belgian flag, though, while we still can!

You don't have to, btw, there are plenty of white, red and blue ones. It's a matter of size, though, to get all the 50 stars right, but I'm sure with PLUS there's less restriction .
