Also explain the part of your sig which attacks black people and poor people.

It's an adapted version of a quote by someone from the tobacco industry, if I'm not mistaken. That's just irony As concerns the picture, it's obviously not attacking fat people but the over-pushed incitation to consumption that is sometimes perceived like part of the American way of life. I don't see how a simple caricature can be so disturbing

Thank you, Hunch. Now if people could stop accusing me of being some kind of Hitler-clone, that would be very nice.

I wouldn't say it's exactly attacking the American way of life, but you can't deny it's making a harsh stereotype. Perhaps there's a better word which could be used, but as I've already said, I couldn't give a darn about the image itself... I'm just explaining to Tobbe why it is a tad prejudiced...

And I'll say to Tobbe what I said to Hunch. I've already said that I couldn't give a damn about the image itself, therefore I don't think you're a Hitler-clone, as you put it. I wouldn't think that of you even if I did care. I was only giving an explanation.

[Tobbe]

The majority of American citizens are overweight, so it's not prejudice that they are.

[Xenon]

This is the silliest argument ever. I take your point that a great amount of Americans are obese, but using that image only conveys prejudism. This isn't even opinionated, it's factual. I'm not going to continue arguing with anyone.

You think you're such hot shit don't ya? Maybe me and my AIM friend took shit seriously, but prejudice against one's country or lifestyle is no laughing matter.

[Tobbe]

You've all completely misunderstood (except for Hunch, obviously). All the points you've been trying to make are all well and good (prejudice is bad, nationalism is bad, black people are not stupid etc.), but they are not relevant to this discussion at all. I'm not gonna discuss this further.

[Xenon]

Of course they're relevant, and they aren't the only points we've been trying to get across to you. Read this page again, then you might get a clearer vision.

[Tobbe]

I told you I'm not discussing this further.

[Phoenixan]

As I said earlier, edit it so it says "American Weigh" rather than "American Way."

And on the main subject, all of a sudden, hearing the issues, looking at what they're talking about what they're going to do... they're both promising the same thing. :\ I'm still going for Obama, but all of a sudden, I feel back to the Kerry and Bush campaign where the votes ended up roughly 50/50, and South Park had the "Decide between a Douche and a Turd" episode. lol

"Eventually, when it comes down to it all, you have to decide between a Douche and a Turd Sandwich, because they're the only sort of people that want the position in the first place!"

To be honest with you all, there are days when I completely lack respect for my own nation.

That would be an insult to Hitler.

[Xenon]

It makes me wonder whether spiraldoor actually reads recent posts before asking questions.

[Serza5]

Spiral never reads previous posts = fact.

It makes me wonder whether spiraldoor actually reads recent posts before asking questions.

Really? It makes me wonder if he actually has a brain.

[spiraldoor]

I have no brain, my skull is full of microchips.
