Rate my new sig picture

Poll question: Rate my new sig picture

I wanted to capture the "values" message bullshit just right...

[MarianJack]

1. I Would have voted higher, but...

...if I were writing it, I'd have had Jesus saying "People using my name in vain approved this message".

It is a good image and it does point out the fundie's hypocracy!

[vinnievin777]

5. I totally agree

but since everyone here is smart enough to understand I think it's cool for a post but maybe you might want to reconsider the sig thing.

2. I hate it.

There's a reason I don't go into LBN or GD. I don't want to see that shit all day long.

3. I agree with Janesez

(and I swear I'm not lounge-stalking you!)

Plus, maybe I'm missing the irony, but I don't believe that Jesus would have ever supported that behaviour.

Maybe if you had Jerry Falwell's picture???

[Phillycat]

4. I think the juxtaposition is intentionally ironic.

I just hate looking at the torture pic.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. The point is the fundies seem to believe Jesus approved it.

And they said so on Nov. 2

[JimmyJazz]

7. It has a very valid point, but I'm with Janesez as well -

I come to the lounge to have fun and be distracted from the horror of this warmongering administration. Maybe you could save if for special occassion?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. People closing their eyes is half the problem.

[Phillycat]

10. That's your opinion. Is that not our choice?

Or would you prefer to forcefully foist your beliefs on us?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. Who's foisting beliefs? No one forced you to be here.

If you want to stick your head in the sand, be my guest.

On edit: I've changed it altogether so you can be blissfully ignorant again. Happy?

[Phillycat]

13. Yes I am.

No one forced me to be in the Lounge, that is correct. The Lounge, where we don't have to generally look at torture images all day. Make more sense? If I was in LBN or GD complaining about your sig line, that would really be my problem.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

14. Such threads wouldn't be allowed in GD or LBN though.

And I don't see any rule saying you have to be amusing in the Lounge.

[Phillycat]

15. Of course there isn't a rule. It's common courtesy.

Er, dear, you asked us what we thought. Awfully defensive when you were actively soliciting opinions, aren't you?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. It's one thing to not like the concept of it.

It's another to tell me I shouldn't be posting it where I want to simply because you want to be amused.

[Phillycat]

18. I never said that, YOU said that.

You are being a complete jerk about something you asked our opinion about. I have no use for your ad hominim attacks and strawman arguments. Bye bye now.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

20. Fine. This really isn't worth it.

I apologize for anything stupid I said. This is a really dumb thing for us to be fighting about so I retract anything I said that offended you.

[JimmyJazz]

19. There is not one person here who is

"blissfully ignorant" and I take humbrage at that remark. We are all members of DU because we are passionate about politics and because we care about what's happpening in this world. Some of us just need to vent in ways that you don't seem to understand and we don't want to look at those "in your face" images constantly. Why don't you post them on some Fundie sights were they need to be seen?

You asked for our opinion and you got it.

[JimmyJazz]

16. I never said I have my eyes closed. Do you understand

that everytime I look at pictures like that, I start to sob? When I see the picture of the little girl whose leg is shattered and whose little body is torn apart, I can't help but break down.

Yes, I look at them to remind myself of the blood that is on the hands of the people in this administration, but I can't look at them all the time.

8. Large images in signatures annoy me

It's nothing personal, but when I see a giant picture in a signature line I feel like the user is yelling at me....

"HEY, THIS IS WHO I AM AND I AM IN YO FACE!"

I don't want to be yelled at.

[StopTheMorans]

11. i think that the irony is delicious. if you could make the image about

1/3 or so of the size, i think it would be less "obtrusive".
