Is this guy Green the ultimate straight or what?
Perhaps he just has exceptionally low intelligence?

Who are you to decide what's art and what isn't

The picture certainly did not annoy me, to the contrary, I thought
it was the most entertaining, funny and different Post I'd seen in
a long time.

Anyway, watch out kids, if you want to post anything to the group
from now on, don't bother without consulting big DG first.
It's only right that he imposes his twisted personal morals on everybody
else, or then again you could just ignore him as he's obviously just a
ridiculous, narrow-minded cretin.

Zack, maintain the good work and keep us all amused.

David, why don't you just grow a little moustache and then invade Poland,
like the Nazi you are.

love, Stephen Leeds/Liverpool

Gee, I dunno; was the above just another insult aimed at starting a
flamewar?

>Who are you to decide what's art and what isn't

Fine.  If you wish to be that way, we'll vote.  It's now 2 to 2, so
your side's got a pretty fair position.

>The picture certainly did not annoy me, to the contrary, I thought

To some people, you'd appear to have a rather cruel sense of humor.
True, no one should force you not to be amused by whatever amuses
you, but is it really worth it for the first guy to annoy a bunch
of people just get a laugh out of another bunch?

*sigh* (more flamebait...)

>Zack, maintain the good work and keep us all amused.

I seriously doubt everyone's amused.  After all, David and I
aren't.

>David, why don't you just grow a little moustache and then invade Poland,
>like the Nazi you are.

And now we have flamebait #3.  Look, David may be annoyed by 
Zack's .sig because David is a die-hard bible-thumping
Christian who really _is_ out to censor the Net.  Or he may
not.  I really don't know.

I'm a Christian (or least, I was raised as one), and personally,
I'm not put off by anti-Christian humor that much.  Plus, as
jokes go, the ol' "rusty nails" line isn't all that bad.  What
put me off was that it was LAME.  It's like me writing a
five-line verse, and the fifth line doesn't rhyme with the first
two or even scan right, but boy, it really disses women! and
calling it a limerick.

In short, it felt like someone was trying to poke fun at a
group of people but wasn't willing to expend lots of effort.

C'mon!  Impress me!  Show me a nice big ascii picture of Jesus
wracked with angst as he's being stuck with rusty nails.  If
you do, you'll still annoy some people, but a lot more people
than before (like me) will complement you on your industry.  :)
Extra points if you can fit it in a 4-line .sig.  There's your
assignment.  G'luck, Jim.

Just thought I'd throw my two bits in.
 
If you want to be "Anti-Christian" feel free, after all it's a free country 
Right?  It's also a country that you can be a Christian in.  So before y'all 
go off on a bigoted discriminatory fling, settle down for a sec and realize 
what a fool you're making yourself out to be.

The ascii art of Zack's incineration was clever, but is that a prophecy?
Or are we playing God ourselves?

That's up to Zack my friend.

No sir. Just a friendly reminder not to fool with the Almighty.
