Ecclesia and Synagoga are personifications of the Church and Judaism, respectively, commonly depicted in medieval Christian art. Ecclesia is usually shown as a crowned and triumphant figure, while Synagoga is often portrayed as defeated and blindfolded, symbolizing the perceived superiority of Christianity over Judaism during that era.

Both my Moniker and Avatar are intended to display what I know about myself as a posting personality online. I tend to be a massive asshole.

Lacking in empathy quite often and unafraid to enumerate cruelty, aggression and generally primitive social behavior.

Unfortunately having admitted all that; I truly do not give a shit.

Therefore I believe both my Moniker and Avatar are accurately reflective of what I present as a posting identity online.

Mine reflects the love I have of the Metroid game franchise. Played it when I was 11 years old and haven't looked back.

Kind of obvious.
Patriotism is now taboo. America is the greatest social/societal experiment in world history. Unprecedented individual rights given to the populace at a time when nowhere else could regular people even imagine having it.
Rose to global power in nearly an instant, historically. The entire world has benefited from our existence and forever changed governance throughout the world inspired by our success.
What other power would ANYONE rather be in place instead of America??? China? Russia? India? Iran?

And we are fading fast.

Yes, I have seen the to at Strasbourg or Straßburg.

Btw …. I grew up in the birthplace of Erwin von Steinbach, who built parts of the Cathedral.

Do other than Russians know what the word means? I remember we were told that Glasnost and Perestroyka became universally known and understood words around the world, but were they really?

Americans, in particular, are terrified of advancing knowledge.

Yeah, I've heard many of them avoid learning to read by the time they leave high school.
