Default Overwhelming social injustice!!

In this day and age of social inequity and fictitious concepts of 'equality', I feel that a rather important aspect of my realm of consciousness is being discriminated against. The issue in question is far more relevant than the rights of men to have babies or other similar first world grievances! Tomorrow is the first of June, and that makes me a five year member of this forum, yet the callous disregard of those who should know better are determined to grind me into the dust by not awarding me a five year badge/icon! Are you as shocked as I am? Social justice cannot advance until me and my five year comrades gain the recognition we deserve! I want an icon, just like the ten year members. And I want it in a glorious blaze of mono-chromatic gender neutral, non specific cultural context. And if my demands are not met, I will keep badgering and pestering, using all manner of fallacious argument until my view becomes the majority view, by which time I should be able to claim my 155 year icon…

Can I please have an icon???

Typical bloody social warrior, always focusing on the smaller issues plaguing society. Why not fight for a real cause, you know, like a males right to conceive a child. Or a mans right to become a 10 year old girl in a 40 year old overweight, hairy male body. Or a boys right to break his oppressive school requirements of wearing a uniform consisting of trousers, shirt, tie, hair cut above the collar & clean shaven to a one piece dress and hair down to the waist line while sporting a decent beard.
Or have we yet to reach this level of perverted progressiveness that goes all out against nature?! All in good time.

Ha! Says you from the security of having your own icon! Look, no llamas were hurt in my original post and I sang kum-by-ah ten times while posting. I want my five year icon. No, I demand my five year icon! I deserve my icon!Take you hate crimes somewhere else...

Not sure what you're actually tying to get out of this mate?

The 10 year badge wasn't "demanded" by anyone, in fact it was merely brought up by someone suggesting to have a small badge under their name. Considering most of the 10 year veterans have not only contributed their knowledge to the forums but also donated their time and money to help everyone else here... Let them have a freaking icon on an Internet forum for Christ sakes

I think it fair to say the OP was making a statement very 'tongue in cheek'.

Probably one of those people that demanded to be celebrated every 12 months simply for falling out their mum.

Like they were the first one to ever do it.

I'm surprised ACA isn't involved yet. Scandalous situation to be in!

Personally I think those with the 10 year member badges should remove them as a protest!

NB: Except for mine of course!

It is just another little minority group having bit of a whinge about how poorly they are done by. So just keep humouring them and they will fade into the background again where they belong. Just let them wait until I get my 25 year gold plated watch, then see how they carry on!!!
