Prediction: wrong Siver   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

yea i agree pointless arguments are pointless.  i didnt even know a lot about the world wars because in Newfoundland we dont talk very much about it or teach anything about it until later in high school because the Newfoundland regiment in both wars were used as cannon fodder and most of them died. we have our remembrance day stuff but thats it, i guess its a weird way of dealing with it.  i didnt even start learning about the wars until i moved to the mainland.

Siver should respond with "Yeah, my country has a history of making terrible mistakes, but at least millions of us didn't die due to not having potatoes..."

Tnuggs the Germans accept The HasselHoff, but not the word Nazi?  Interesting, lol.

Then how do you know how being called a Nazi makes a German guy feel?

I would imagine being called a nazi makes a german guy feel roughly the way being called a native american killing land thief or a slave owner would make americans feel. There's that sense of shame and guilt that "your people" did that, but it's quickly overridden by the fact that you personally had nothing to do with it. Just a guess.


Carrying guilt and shame for something dead people did is silly. Stop carrying other peoples baggage and worry about you and yours.

I doubt they care, as it's no where in the same league as calling a black person a ****** or a someone a spick. Specifically because those are racist terms and nazi is not. I'm not saying it's not offensive, but to compare it to a racial slur such as ****** is ridiculous.

If you get that offended over someone calling you a word...you're a simpleton. I honestly don't care what that word is. ******, ******, spick, jew, *****, etc. etc. They're all just SOUNDS people make with their mouth that cause literally nothing to happen. It's not like when a black person gets called a ****** it sends a burning pain down their spine and temporarily debilitates them. It's ignorant as **** and uncalled for, but seriously get over it and move on. If the worst thing you have to deal with in your life is someone you don't know or care about calling you a name you're pretty much in the same boat as a kindergartener as far as life difficulties...

Especially given the fact that all the ignorant person calling the name wants is to get a rise out of you by calling you the name. It just validates their reasoning and perpetuates rampant pointless moronic behavior.

@frontkick, the significance of the word is all a matter of context and geography ... over here in Jewland we could give to ****s about the word '*****' but call someone a Nazi and he goes ape **** on you ... 

In fact a year or two ago a law actually passed saying that the use of the word 'Nazi' as an insult could get you fined and/or 6 months in prison.

Now nobody actually gives two ****s about that law and it only passed because a ****load of the media here kept using analogies to the holocaust to describe what the government over here was doing (and their reaction was to manage to pass one of the most fascist laws ever to pass in this country, hellova way to prove them reporters wrong, lol!) so I'm thinking they just "installed a mechanism" to go at a reporter or newspaper that bugs them. Don't think they'll ever act on it because they know what an uproar it'll cause, but still ... it's there. No laws about the word '*****' yet.

So which one of them is worse? Context is everything my friend, there are no good words or bad words, if I have a kinky wife who likes being called a ****, suddenly **** is a great word to call a woman, but if some dude from across the street calls her the same thing I'm gonna knock his front teeth out, so good word? Bad word? I'm confused. Over on your side of the pond, '*****' is the N word, while over here the N word is Nazi.

I'm a little weird, I think... I don't mind so much when people say words like "******" or "******", but I tend not to say those words around those who could take them offensively. But an odd example of how some people are just drama queens and then there are people that don't give a flying **** took place a couple of weeks ago. One of buddies who is black and gay at the same time, I have heard him utter the words "******" AND "******" Of course this was not in confrontation with anything except with a three dimensional assailant in Shadow of Mordor. Still, it surprised me and I asked him if those words bothered him even then someone could use those same words to describe him if they were pissed at him. He said that "people are too ******* sensitive and need to grow some goddamn balls"


It is after that that I have not since questioned the usage of those words. I do have a half black little sister though, and you bet your ass that if I ever heard a redneck call her "an abomination/****** baby" I would be on their ass in just a minute. I'm still confused about the whole thing and I do not claim to be the expert, so it is my responsibility I think to become further educated on this matter. I don't want to walk on eggshells, but I don't want to appear as a bigot either. If anyone could offer their advice on this matter or some insight, I would appreciate it.

"the significance of the word is all a matter of context and geography"


100% Especially when you consider the fact that after WWII it was not an insult it was an accusation and people getting called (accused of being) a Nazi carried some major weight with it. To this day they are sentencing people if they find out they were Nazi's 60 years ago.




"If you get that offended over someone calling you a word...you're a simpleton."


I am on board with this. My friends either mick or wop and I just embrace it.
