Well, (and I say this in all seriousness and respect) if I'm indifferent towards the flag, what represents my indifference more so than the image of a burning flag?
OK, I still don't understand. Maybe I'm dense but it seems to me that if you're indifferent to something it means you have no real interest in it. I just don't understand why you'd pick something that you have no interest in, one way or another, as the subject of your avatar.
Maybe I'm wrong, but our avatars represent a subject in which we have an interest (whether it be a movie star, a sports idol, etc.).
Don't worry, I understand where you're coming from. It's not easy to comprehend my use of the image. It is, partly, I think, my strong dislike for rednecks--in otherwise, the stereotyped social mold that we believe to be patriotic flag-wavers. And, let's face it... Rednecks seem to be America personified.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
