so if I had picture of a hamburger as my signature, I am obvioussly opening up my self to attack from PETA?
again, you made the comment ...
I was talking about Alou pissing on his hands?
a hamburger is a pretty neutral image. if you put a picture of a veal calf confined all its life in a wood box, yeah, i'm sure you'd be opening yourself up to attack from PETA.
the point is that this is a BASEBALL forum. why post your political views? dubya's presidency is obviously a hot button issue. about 1/2 the country hates his guts and 1/2 think he's a saint. so chances are, you're gonna offend about 1/2 the people in here by putting up your political propaganda. so as i said before, you're only opening yourself up to attack, so why do it?

False analogy. Your Bush sig is making a clear political statement where a hamburger would not be. Attacks are not necessary(how much of an attack was it really?), but disagreements are to be expected...

It's funny how John Kerry and the topic of urination end up in the same thread.
