We merely have a supporter who dons a flag appropriated by ISIS in his Avatar.
It is more than that. This guy openly supports a group that destroys, murders and terrorizes. Would you like to live next door to that? Would you like to invest in something this supporter invests in? Would you build a school or anything else with these people? Would you like to be associated with any of that?  I don't think so.

I made a point earlier that in a globalized society you can be guilty of any number of associations. You use the U.S. dollar I'm assuming... you know who else uses the U.S. dollar? Terrorists use the U.S. dollar. You are supporting the system as much as anyone else, don't you see? Or at least I can make that association.

To go even more abstractly, you share a common language with him... and terrorists.. I could make the association that you are related in some way!

You ask specifically if I like to be associated with these things, but association is something that can be done by an outsider or as my own personal decision.

I can associate myself with those things, but I choose not to.

You can associate me with a plethora of things, but I have no control over what you associate me with, even if I don't LIKE it.

So what I'm getting at here, is that many associations can be made, but many are also out of my control, because other people can be the ones making the associations


Separately, you own a computer... you have invested in something a terrorist has also invested in... you literally cannot separate yourself from these things. You're in the thick of it.

P.S. people don't make good building blocks... though I think they were used in The Great Wall of China
