sheik-yerbouti Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I'd be happy to hear views on my avatar. I was banned from another forum for insisting on my right to use it, and have been pestered online by others for using it Some people insist that it is a nazi symbol. I disagree. Certainly they used it but like the swastika, it was never "their" symbol. The Odin Rune ( my avatar) pre dates the nazi era by millennia. It is a pagan symbol from Northern Europe, denoting the cult of Odin, kinship and welcome, nothing more. If the Odin Rune is a nazi symbol because nazi's have used it, then surely the crucifix is a satanist symbol, because satanists have used the crucifix, as have the KKK also. Similarly, the flags of the USA and UK must be flags of extremist moslems, as they often use these flags to burn in their demonstrations and protests. Nobody would surely agree with much of the above, so why would they believe that the Odin Rune was anything other than as I have described it ?

snafu Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 So you?re asking us if your avatar offends us but in the same breath you tell us what people perceive its meaning? I don?t give a sh*t what avatar you use; it?s who you are that I would determine you?re worth. Now of course other people might pre-judge you because of your choice of symbols but my contention is you?re looking for the shock response. Quote *NEVER FORGOTTEN*
sheik-yerbouti Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 So you?re asking us if your avatar offends us but in the same breath you tell us what people perceive its meaning? . Yes I did say what some people perceive its meaning to be. Others wish to believe that I must be a nazi to use the symbol, which is untrue. I like the simplicity of the rune, nothing more.

ToriAllen Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 ...but my contention is you?re looking for the shock response. I got that too... I like the simplicity of the rune, nothing more. I didn't know what it meant or was used for until you pointed it out. Don't really care either... Like Snafu says, it is all about what you say and how you present yourself. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. ;)
sheik-yerbouti Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 my contention is you?re looking for the shock response. Not so Snafu. I had a long discussion with someone elsewhere who really believes that the Odin Rune is a Nazi symbol, which it is not. I just wondered what the folks in here thought. I dont accept that some johnny-come-lately (in this case the Nazis) can use someone else's symbol, and hey-presto- its theirs, and the rightful owner(s) are stripped of ownership. Its a nonsense argument, quite befitting fools such as shiek-yebouti, sheik-yerbooti, foxtrots-united, rose-hill and all their other little friends.

But why connect yourself to something that the Nazi's apparently did use? The Rainbow has been around forever, but since the homosexual movement "borrowed" it as their logo, I acknowledge that it is their logo and if I wear it, then I am showing them support. Quote I hate signatures, so I don't have one. wait....
sheik-yerbouti Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 But why connect yourself to something that the Nazi's apparently did use? . I suppose I just dont like the pc brigade trying to organise the masses as well as myself. Those fuckers really annoy me. Here in the UK, we have even had kids coming home singing about rainbow sheep, rather than the ba ba black sheep nursery rhyme. Whatever next ? Will they soon want to re-name Blackpool Town, Rainbowpool Town? I can't imagine someone with dark hide really getting annoyed because of the black sheep kids rhyme, or Blackpool Town. And some people even seem to think that if they moan and whine enough, I and others will avoid historical cultural items such as Norse Runes. Well I say f*** those tossers and their narrow minded, holier than thou, whatever will the neighbours think, morons.. Quote Don't preach in my school, or I'll think in your church.
Feckless Wench Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I only ever saw it as a rune........ Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]I have a whip and I'm not afraid to use it...in fact I rather like it. http://www.2thejungle.com

Somebody has either finished a DnD session or read an entire Wikipedia article. Quote http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5I0M6PKr5HM/SrZiXevwa5I/AAAAAAAAAIo/HZMRBP1nwyI/s200/obama-socialism-attacks-capitalism.jpg It's a mistake to think that poor people get the benefit from the welfare system. It's a total fraud. Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators, it's totally out of control. This idea that the government has services or goods that they can pass on is a complete farce. Governments have nothing. They can't create anything, they never have. All they can do is steal from one group and give it to another at the destruction of the principles of freedom, and we ought to challenge that concept. - Ron Paul

And the homosexuals have also taken some of our strongest names, such as Lance and Butch. The Bifrost bridge was supposedly multi-faceted with color, perhaps Heimdallr was gay.
