ID Avatars

Re: ID Avatars

I really meant the symbolism of the green. I guess I should've been more specific.

When I said "green avatar," I wasn't speaking symbolically. I was speaking literally. See anapuni808's and Vanguard's avatars for an example, or check just about anyone's Twitterstream.

I don't feel it's any sillier than people having yellow ribbons to show support for their loved ones overseas.

I once saw a yellow-ribbon magnet on a car; it said "WE SUPPORT...
the overseas company that manufactures these magnetic ribbons."

Susie - green is the color the protestors in Irag are using to represent the candidate Mousavi. If you look at photos or video of the protests you will see them wearing green armbands, head scarves etc. In the first couple of days, some of the players on the Iranian soccer team were wearing green armbands during their matches.

PS: like Leo Lakio, I was also from Iowa. Des Moines to be specific - it's where I was born but haven't been there since leaving in 1961 except for a few days visit in 1967.

I meant REAL yellow ribbons. Those car magnet thingies crack me up.

And, Kaonohi...you totally drank the Kool-Aid!

Personally, I'm glad Frankie's Market changed his avatar from his "alter-ego" Bob Jones to something that cracks me up every time I look at it.

And if you can smash a personal expression of any kind - political, religious, artistic, whatever - into that tiny box, go right ahead. Just remember, sometimes they can be difficult for makule eyes to grasp!

(GULP!) Whooo!

Hey, I tried to get the letters in, but I couldn't, but since green is the current color of FREEDOM, I'm jumping on board.

Iran, Iraq (who also uses a 7-point star) or any other peoples who want freedom -I support your efforts.

I am against American politicians who seek to erode our Bill of Rights (and they are out there in force, and they are Democrats!), and I am against any political system that seeks to abolish or impede freedom.

We were created to be free. If that's not true, why do we keep striving for freedom when it is denied?

FREE IRAN
FREE ELECTIONS
END IMPERIALISM
FREE THE PEOPLE

And in America: VOTE FREEDOM!
before it's too late.

We need to FREE our wallets from the wrath of high taxes imposed by DEMOCRATS on Hawaii's citizens, business and tourists. The nightmare of more taxes must end.

Re: ID Avatars

Because this thread is wandering into non-ID Avatar territory, I have moved my response to MEL here. (Just click on the highlighted word here.")

Any wishing to continue that discussion may do so there.

This is in respect for people who get frustrated when a thread evolves into something else....

This one especially for Leo Lakio.
