intriguing question OP, i had a bit of trouble trying to determine my avatar from the default pictures. i felt that none of them fully expressed me as an online character; they were all either too political or too trivia-based. I certainly dont want to come off as something attached to just that two. In the end i decided to keep it blank like it is now and maybe change my location often, depending on how i feel there and then.

Avatars do tell something but not all about the person. Like Nabeela, it is a calling card(hala i arkooy waan isku dhacaayaa), Dangirl's avatar says she digs white, the girls with their feet as an avatar show off their shoes, others with flags express their allegiance, or independence. Some love to show themselves in their avatar hungry for compliment knowing they look good etc. It is so darn easy to read minds. You need to be observant. Everyone is flaunting, advertising, supporting, screaming about, for and against something in their Avatar. Human nature.

Some love their culture and put on dhiil etc, everyone chooses what is they favour, or what they want to tell others about themselves. We are transparent.

Thus is the reasoning of a typical "n*gger", always placing himself and his ego over admiration for a political genius. Times have changed my friend, where one bases his admiration on knowledge and reason over petty self preservation. :mrgreen:
Hitler was the reason, Germany lost the second the world war. So much for your political genius

Political genius doesn't win wars, military prowess does. Hitler may have lost the war but his rise was spectacular and his powers of manipulation and propaganda were exceptional. He only lost because (a) He was too egotistical to let his generals have the freedom they needed to operate effectively (b) He engaged in too many wars, on too many fronts against too many enemies - essentially what did in the other military/political genius Napoleon.

Those are political mistakes! He lost the war, not because of his military machine, which could have destroyed the unprepared red army, but he lost the war due to his political mistakes.
