Having grown up in a country under Communist oppresion, with the big brother USSR as a neighbour, I find your avatar as offensive as a Jew would find the swastika.
Advertising this symbol of a brutal regime can mean either one of three things:
1) you are a complete moron with a short memory
2)you or your family had strong ties with the 'party', thus living a plush and oppulent life while the commoners spent their days in long lines for food and commodities, in fear of being turned in by their neighbours for having said something bad about the regime.
3) you are making a joke, however, I don't find anything funny about your avatar.
So please choose one of the three options above, or at least explain to me what your whole point is in using this avatar.
