I can tell how brave you are by your phallic avatar.

You’re so brave and courageous behind your keyboard, Armchair-Commando-General Hedo.

Wow - complaining about a phallic avatar at T-Nation.

The emasculation of T-Nation continues apace.

EDIT: I propose an avatar contest for Hedo, one that substitutes “phallic” and “masculine” imagery with something less offensive to the sensitive souls who don’t like scary, manly symbols of aggression, patriarchy, and insensitivity.

This is not about masculinity but about subtlety.

If your idea of manliness is to stuff phalli in other peoples faces, a gay bar is the appropriate environment.

It is a tiny picture of a tank, offered by someone who served in the military.

You think that is “stuffing phalli” in other people’s faces? My God, even members of NOW would call you a sissy.

Its shiny cannon is aiming right at me!

This unnerving patriarchal display of dominance can not be tolerated.

Nah. I think he ought to go with more “phallic” imagery. I suggest the Paris Gun.

Iran

Sometimes a tank is just a tank.

Varq, I think you are going to scare Orion and Lifticus with such careless posting of “phallic” symbols - displays of masculinity may scar them for life - so I will try and reverse the damage with something gentle and safe.

Ok, hedo. Would you feel OK paying taxes to a government that tortures people? Do you think it is morally acceptable to be accomplice with a government that disregards human rights? If I have to give 45% of my revenue to the state, might as well be one that doesn’t abuse people over a Facebook profile.

I haven’t made up my mind yet, but the more I read what is happening, the more knots I get in my stomach. You know, we don’t have guns nor an egalitarian constitution back home.

Here’s more insanity: some time ago, a senile 95 years old man in a wheel chair was convicted for “insulting” the king and sentenced to 3 years in jail. Following an altercation with a bus driver, the police arrested after the driver called the cops. There were no witnesses besides the driver who heard what the insult consisted of, and pleas to the judge to take into consideration his mental state were all rejected. Besides the driver’s word, there was nothing in the case. The court refused to admit psychiatric evaluations as evidence, although the guy has been regularly to a psychiatric facility for years. The old man died in prison Wednesday 13th, 2008.

As expected, your doll is white and male.

You might as well have chosen GI Joe.

Just for you Orion since you didnt like the “my buddy”


Well, if TB does decide to post a Joe, I’d suggest Snake-Eyes.

You’re telling me this because…you weren’t hero enough to get augmented…?

You were once an officer so at best you are an accessory to murder – not a hero. You’re real brave killing people from a third world country from inside a tank. We should feel so honored…and defended.

BTW, I am a former corporal so I am better than you…sir.

The stick figure is supposed to be ironic. Sadly, I do not have any pictures of my former lover like you do.

These Phrogs kick your tank’s ass anyday.

Well, if anyone of us were wondering as to the depth - or lack of - of character from Lifticus, that shameful question has been answered.

It’s a good thing I don’t live my life wondering what worshipers of the Uniformed State think about me.

LIFT, I hope a midget bites you in the nuts.
