"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

This one is called moose, but I always felt like it should be a "throw yo' hands up in the air, like you just don't care" emoticon...

@The_Zeel Thanks for the insight. Maybe its just me. Awesome almost equals Troll Face for me.

And yes, there are quite a few emoticons that I dont get or ever use. Like = wacko???

Very Happy I think the main difference between this one and the troll is that whoever uses the former, is also somehow pleased by what's happening in the context (whereas the trollface is more like a lololol kind of response xD)
It's also an effective "I told you so!" emoticon Very Happy Laughing
