    If you think that's bad, I always liked this one.

    Definitely low class but

    The beauty of emoticons, (kind of like free speech), is that one can either choose to, or not to use them. As to people's avatars showing them pointing a gun at the camera, what's the harm? Relax - it's only the Internet....

    I am already tired of seeing them. It is one thing to have emoticons to show sarcasm or a joke, the rest just make it look like a 12 year old kid just posted.

    That's right, and the internet, just like television, can be used to portray certain things in a manner that is at odds with responsible gun ownership. If you are my age category (45), the initial presumption is that the woman holding the gun in the photo you posted is pointing it at the person taking the picture. Right or wrong, uptight or not, that is where I am coming from.

    But can you block them from view, so you don't have to see them when someone else uses them? Now that would qualify as "the beauty of emoticons."

    If you do not like them, just don't use them.

    As one of the token Brits on the board I feel duty bound to tell you:

    Wanker - someone who masturbates. Commonly used as an insult in Britain, as in "You're a wanker" or, "He's a wanker". Can be replaced with the term "Tosser". Both sometimes confusedly used as terms of endearment, affection or out of context in the USA - much to the amusement of Brits.

    As to the subject of the thread. Nah, you're not a wanker.
