Explain your Avatars!

Ah! Now I see it

LOL… I love that last one.

The problem with the joke is that most people I’ve seen on this site are adults, most of whom are married.

@moralecheck:

You know what ruined that movie for me? I’ll tell ya…

When the main character first ran outside in his avatar and saw the other avatars playing basketball in street clothes. From that moment I could not get the image of the “all-star monstars” from Space Jam out of my mind.  :x

Haha… that’s pretty good.  :lol:

Ya wat wuld you choose? Peacfully coexist with the natives, leave the planet, or KILL THEM ALL! I see why my American ancestors did all that stuff to the Indians. ******* AWESOME! :evil:

@Brain:

You know sometimes I miss the symbolism until its pointed out.

As they say…nothing is new.

who is for Dr. Who, the poplular British sci-fi show that started the same year I did in 1963.  69 is for the world champion '69 Kansas City Chiefs.  Picture in my avatar is the ship I use for my TOS movie era sim USS Beowulf.  http://www.ussandromeda.us/Beowulf/sms-2.0.2-standard/

Mr. Ghoul, I think the Japanese started in China as far back as 1933. You are right as to why the US cut off her fuel supplies. You’re right that didn’t give the Japanese the right to attack in the minds of the US and according to their law. And that is probably the right position legally. However, how would the US react if her oil supply was threatened. Ahhhhh yes, if radical Islam swept across all the oil in the middle east and the world decided to shut of the oil to the US. How would the US react.

The only difference is the degree to which their arguments are valid. Both Japan in 1940 and the US in the last 5 years of done some bad stuff, broken internation law etc. Of course the rape of Nanking is orders of magnitude worse then anything the US has done since perhaps the Indian wars, even then it was spread out over centuries not weeks.

I believe the US had and has laws on her books not to sell weapons to countries at war that don’t involve the US. The US was not at war during WWII until Dec 8, 1941. Therefore it was illegal for the US to supply ANY weapons or war materials to any country at war during the period preceding Dec, 8 1941. The US doesn’t like syria selling weapons to Iraq now, why should they expect war time Germany to like the US selling weapons to England.

In fact, Germany had a legal right to stop and sink any ships entering the british home waters found to be carring war materials. But I digress on this law and history lesson.
