Allowing ISIS Flags on accounts kinda fucking sucks

I can no longer be part of spreadcoin
rests on  "Abou Talha", i cannot for moral reasons be associated with a project where someone is for cruelty toward people of other
religions, against women, and stoneage punishments towards other people.

Normally i dont care about other people´s religion, but he is just too much, his tagline, and support of a flag, that now stands for
something that im totally against

im sad to say, but i am out, even though i believe in the vision of spreadcoin....

What project are you talking about and what member is sporting the flag?

dont see why you guys take it serious, if you avoid it it will go away, do you guys think he is gonna change it now with all this attention?

[hilariousandco]

It's just a flag. Ignore it. He probably only has it because it will get a rise out of people and you're giving it to him. Your Point is Invalid above has a flag that is responsible for more death and slavery than Isis will ever achieve but should he or the forum remove it if someone complains or is offended by it? No.

I saw the link and it's now locked--did the project die because of this or what?  And sorry I'm not buying the comparison of isis and Britain.  And that argument carries little weight on the English speaking section of this forum.

Just neg'd the guy out of principle.

It's called freedom of speech and expression, the moderators aren't going to just outright ban someone because they're putting a fucking flag on their avatar.

I can see the point of not trusting someone belonging to ISIS, but the trust feedback is really if you think they're going to scam.  There's a whole topic devoted to this that just started.  It's not really a place to spout ideology views.  I say this even though I probably agree with yours.

Guys just trolling and you give him more power by showing how emotionally charged he can get you.
Its best to just put him on ignore if it gets you fired up.

I'd last all my life, must be because I'm an Anarchist, I'm not so easily provoked by simple images and symbols.

[otrkid70]

I wouldn't waste my piss on this flag. Freedom of speech is one thing....Freedom to be a a BARBARIAN thug scumbag piece of low life shit, Camel Raping, inbred   is another thing.

Fuck that flag and everything it represents!

[nichu]

i didnt even knew that its a flag in the first place  i dont understand why people are more sentimental ,why cant you live like humans 

@ Lethn, the image you posted made me  cry months back, and i am really sad to see it again.

I understand all that.

But we have to look at that 'fucking flag' every fucking day. And others looking into the thread probably wonder if its some sort of terrorist cell operating on BCT.

So don't give me the high and fucking mighty. If you're next door neighbor decided to put that flag up outside their front door and you saw it everyday and those walking past saw it, how long do you think you would last with your freedom of speech point?  A day; a week; a month; a year?

Yeah, thought so. It's easy to post and run. It's different when you have to put up with this fucking shit every day.

1. get ABP
2. right-click avatar -> adblock plus: block image...

was that so hard?

Also, regarding your flag analogy: Call me insensitive, but I would be okay with that forever (assuming it's not overtly annoying, but I would treat it as if it was any other flag). Unlike you, I believe in freedom of expression for all, not just for whom I agree with.

Just neg'd the guy out of principle.

Now that's clearly trust abuse. The description for negative trust is "You were scammed or you strongly believe that this person is a scammer.". I doubt that any reasonable person would think someone with ISIS flag means they're a scammer.

What image? I didn't post that lol, it was him, anyway, you all have ignore features and block features on this forum, nothing stopping you from posting things you find offensive, I just think that censorship is the tool of people who would rather live in delusion and ignore reality.

US Military has killed orders higher more civilians than ISIS ever will. And yet you're using US currency. Additionally, the US is directly responsible for creating the problem of 'ISIS'. And to my knowledge, the extreme majority of terrorists are supplied their weaponry by US companies. I do not know what the ISIS flag looks like because I don't have the time or resources to get involved in politics and the horrible things that happen across the globe, but to me, the American flag is a symbol of the most vicious world superpower that the human race has ever seen, controlled by a corrupt turnkey totalitarian government that creates propaganda for neo-fascist causes. Just because something is pure evil doesn't mean you shouldn't tolerate it.

Just ignore him....

Why is there so much fuss over someone who has a flag as their avatar? Just let him do what he wants, why are you guys giving him negative trusts just for having a flag as his avatar? This is really fucked up.

Just so we are on the same page.

Isis cut off the heads of Innocent people to get media attention.  But, hey, thats free speech.

The free speech (I suppose) in this case is that anyone can put the flag (as avatar) that he wants... not to cut off the heads of people.

Wana talk about the crimes done in the name of the great britian flag union jack[1]? Having the avatar of a flag is not the same as beheading people, which is not possible to do on this forum anyway, so whats your argument again?
