"
In other words Che offends me as an American." chasbo
This is the wrong place for talking about this. I'll have my say and that's it.
"Guevara was a reckless bourgeois adrenaline-junkie seeking a place in history as a liberator of the oppressed. But this fanatic’s vehicle of “liberation” was Stalinism, named for Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, murderer of well over 20 million of his own people. As one of Castro’s top lieutenants, Che helped steer Cuba’s revolutionary regime in a radically repressive direction. Soon after overthrowing Batista, Guevara choreographed the executions of hundreds of Batista officials without any fair trials. He thought nothing of summarily executing even fellow guerrillas suspected of disloyalty and shot one himself with no due process.
Che was a purist political fanatic who saw everything in stark black and white. Therefore he vociferously opposed freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, protest, or any other rights not completely consistent with his North Korean-style communism. How many rock music-loving teens sporting Guevara t-shirts today know their hero supported Cuba’s 1960s’ repression of the genre? How many homosexual fans know he had gays jailed?" - Dr. Douglas Young
That's why that screenie offends me and I won't look at it again.
All that is true, Chasbro, and that's what Che means to you and the rest of the educated about Che. To the uneducated, he's just this kinda hot Latin guy who embodies the bad boy image. I'm pretty sure Hitler would have been more popular with the ladies if he had gotten more sun, grew his hair out and wore guy liner. Dead guys can mean almost anything to anyone; perception IS everything.
The problem with the following statement........
..........is it will not be over because you have your say. I'm not saying I disagree with you, but when we as individuals decide to make a statement for everyone to either hear, see and read we have to be prepared for what follows. Just as does the poster of the screenshot of their desktop. Something we all should think about before we do most things we do. 
blimey - i thought i was adding an image 2 my desktop of someone long dead and whom most ppl have never heard of lol next time i will be sure to include george bush on my desktop
the only reason i mentioned it here is coz i cannot add txt comments
anyway i love america and i love everyone else, lifes 2 short and its a good thing to learn from :karma:
You thought you got grief over Che. 
I'm actually very liberal poltically. I take all kinds of grief from conservatives. I'll take it that no harm was meant by the Che Christmas shot. OK Let's get by this roadblock. I remember T-shirts for girls that had BITCH on them. I thought they were offensive also but if some dumb ass wants wear it then go right ahead. Well I guess all you gotta do is go the People of Walmart website to see that sort of thing.
k10w3 what i mean is i cant add txt comments on the gallery section - when i try i get double blank comments lol
walmart? luckily here in the uk we dont have them YET lol
Trying to make myself believe it's December (it's hard to do that in Florida).
Still using Darker Side Blind and Cursor by Xiandi. Can't remember where I found the wallpaper. Rainmeters are TabMeter/Folder Shortcuts by PS2 at Rainmeter Forum and Date/Time by JS Morley at DeviantART. Dock Icons by Tom Richter at DA.
Love yours too RickJP!!!
