yes that is true spiked, because as we all know the spring forums are a hotbed of european leadership and upper class, and are paving the way for new laws and freedoms in europe. Clearly the inability to have a picture of hitler as your avatar on the spring forums is a sign of global political correctness and certainly not some local decision by the moderators who run this forum. I mean its not like this forum is a private institution which is allowed to make up its own rules and codes of conduct.
What were we thinking...
REAL war protest

I'm talking about the European son-of-a-bitches that Swift mentioned complained about my avatar, dumbass, not the leadership or political/national affiliation of this board's leadership authority.
And wtf is with that loser coming into MY thread just to post that he's ignoring me? Stop trying to get my attention, fuck, it's like having a little 7 year old girl trying to get my attention by acting like a retard in an effort to provoke some sort of response to her desperate attempts to make me like her.

Godwin's Law, anyone? And without Quirk's Exception coming into effect - was not my motive.
This thread has degenerated from an unstable premise to a sickening sea of inconclusive babble through consistent unstable lunge and riposte, and while I have for the most part avoided interceding, and will continue to steer clear of what passes tenuously for "content" within this, I must point out the utter lack of logical support in the debate and pointed inability of anybody posting to actually read the arguments of others.
I support free speech and discussion on the internet, as is seemingly protected by the moderation in this thread, but it serves little purpose in this form, and I would move for all unwilling to actually see reality or back up their points to reform, and all those consistently angered by the illogical yammering in this thread to stop posting for their own good.

I am not going to join the debate, as it is utterly pointless. I am here just to point out that the symbol in Spiked's avatar is actually the "svastika", better known as "swastika", the symbol for verious religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. The Nazi's symbol should be rotated 45 degrees.

Jesus Christ neddie, as if we all aren't already aware that carrying on political debates in a fucking free license game engine forum is an absolute waste of time. Like I'm actually going to convince anybody to join the revolutionary movement, and like anyone is going to convince me that I'm wrong. This is all for fun, just like any other thread about funny pics or stupid movies or Guessmyname's crazy stories. I could argue that those are a waste of time, and at the same time argue that any action that derives from a need for petty amusement is a waste of time, but then I'd shoot myself for being a stupid fucking emo.
In any case I'd still like to know who the fucking kraut was that bitched about Adolf Hitler blowing himself away, and I'd like to be informed what the actual material difference is between showing Adolf Hitler blowing himself away, and showing a swastika with the universal "NO" sign. Both involve the German National Socialist party being shown in an un-nice way, both could be stupidly interpreted as "anti-German", the only pertinent difference is that my original avatar made a direct mockery of Hitler while this is merely passively anti-Nazi. There is absolutely nothing about my original avatar that makes it "more racist" than my current one. Thus I can only conclude that the complainee has a personal interest in not seeing Adolf Hitler in a humiliating predicament, and from that, I can confidently conclude that he or she.. no, he, is either a Nazi sympathiser or a bonafide fascist fuck.
And finally, neddie, if it so pains you to involve yourself in this thread, then don't. I know that may come as an overwhelming shock of realization, and I hope you were sitting down when I informed you of this very effective remedy. I can only imagine that the concept of not reading what I post must blow your mind harder than a 12-gauge.
And bwansy, thank you. I'm going to change my avatar anyway. Hopefully this will do away with these problems.

What about my crazy stories
PS: Some people really need to realize that, by dissagreeing with someone on the internet, they won't get stabbed in the face while they slumber...

1) It wasn't clear until you mentioned it that that blob-thing in the lower right was a gun.
2) Knowing you and your views, I interpreted your avatar as telling all non-Communists that their true leader is Hitler and that they need to follow him... essentially saying "you are all Nazis" to everyone who doesn't agree with you.

Some people have a different point of view to you. Continental Europe has a huge issue with this, especially Germany. Most Nazi insignia and stuff is banned except for educational purposes partly to prevent a new Nazi party using these symbols as a rallying point. Just because we're obviously all not as enlightened as you, who, as a young American, has a perfect point of view of things that happened on mainland Europe 60 years ago.Thus I can only conclude that the complainee has a personal interest in not seeing Adolf Hitler in a humiliating predicament, and from that, I can confidently conclude that he or she.. no, he, is either a Nazi sympathiser or a bonafide fascist fuck.
Also facism != Nazi, although similar. One of the things about both the radical Facist-like ideologies of Central Europe and Communism is they gained popularity through the workers as a reaction to the conditions they were under. Poverty was widespread, the countries were unstable, no real participation of the people in government, the goverment not acting in the people's interests. Both are an appeal to security, one an appeal to the stable monarchies of the past and another an appeal to a new structure which put the 95% of the population which had been oppressed for the past 800+ years into power.
I don't know what that tangent was about but never mind, seen as I don't really know what the entire thread is about anyway, except for a "I AM RIGHT/YOU ARE WRONG" approach to debating a non-subject in order to try and prove that the other guy is stupid.
