People clinging too much to all the wrong associations is one of the reasons why we can't have nice things.

All of these quite the opposite of freedom and brotherhood.



That's not all OP. Check out the Gnosis:

666!!

It's all obviously part of a satanic plot.


Contrary to popular interpretation, "666" is not the number of the devil.... it clearly says in Revalation, that 666 represents mankind, and that "the beast" will take on that number as his own, when he declares himself ruler of all mankind.

Christians who don't even understand their own book are funny... :p


If you're so knowledgeable, then you should know that the number of the beast is actually 616, according to Papyrus 115, and the belief in number 666 come from inaccuracies in the greek translations, 666 being a triangular number (1+2+3+4+5+6+(...)+35+36= 666) and 888 being Jesuschrist's number.


Do I have to dial 0 first or something..?

OP
can I have your stuff?

I do this for many reasons. I do it because I believe it is right. I do it because I will profit by it. These all consolidate into one reason: I do it because I can.

Started thinking about the old series 'The Prisoner' after reading this. Where he says something like, I have a name I am not a number.

So I just logged in to add a couple skills to the queue real quick, when I noticed a bunch of "gifts" that needed to be redeemed.

Amongst these gifts : Men's 'Red Star' T-shirt

This in itself was kinda amusing, but what was completely hilarious was the description: " Stand out in a crowd with this crisp, elegant design, (...) while simultaneously having it send a stark message of the celebration of freedom and brotherhood. (...)"

I guess some may be wondering "wait...what is funny about this?"

You see in the real world a red star is a symbol of authoritarian dictatorships like for example the Communist China, that under Mao had a death count that goes up to 60 million. USSR, that under Stalin had a death count that goes up to 20 million, and others like Cuba and Vietnam.
All of these quite the opposite of freedom and brotherhood.

I propose as an idea for the next batch: Men´s "Swastika" T-shirt. With the description: Stand out in a crowd with this fabulous piece of high tier couture while simultaneously displaying a message of peace and tolerance.

Btw CCP = CCCP ? Very cleaver guys.


You uhh... You know red stars aren't necessarily associated with authoritarianism right...?
