I think it's pretty hilarious that Hitler lost his head again only this time by someone elses hand.:laugh:

You're a moron. Have you ever been to Germany? Ever lived in Germany? While there are neo nazis, theyre such a small percentage of the population theyre almost statistically insiginificant.

Yes, I have been to Germany. However, anecdotal evidence is irrelevant.

Sure they can be highly visible when they want to be, but the majority of Germans hate Nazis and are still embarrassed about their history. The majority of Germans don't know their national anthum and except during huge soccer tournaments, you never see the German flag flying in Germany because Germans are still nervous at showing ethnic pride due to their past history.

Edit: And furthermore, you quote articles that are 2 and 3 years old. If there were such huge problems with Nazi's wouldn't we have seen them in these past 2 or 3 years?

Have we not?

Also, two of the articles you post aren't very convincing. Germans have a negative view of Islam? So do most Americans. Big Deal. The Germans aren't advocating that they kill all Muslims, they just think that its unlikely that Christians and Muslims won't get along.

They sure seem to be on the forefront of that movement.

And the other one, that young kids don't know about history? Theres a huge difference between pretending something didn't happen and not knowing about it. Look at American kids these days. Most of them can't even find Iraq on a map, and would probably get the answer wrong about when the war of 1812 started.

Hitler and his Holocausts seem to be quite the defining moment in modern German history.

Would have been cooler if that man then proceeded to shit down the figure's neck.

Funny mental picture. :beer:

There is no rational reason be upset about a life size version of Hitler unless your on a bad Sci-fi movie and fear that wax people are going to be reanimated.

How about if a man walked into your home and slit the throat of a couple of your family members. Would you be angry then if someone built a wax replica of that person and stuck it in a museum?
The man is responsible for many millions of deaths in Germany alone. There are still millions of people living in Germany today suffering the consequences of the hell on earth that was WWII many who remember the atrocities and nightmares of war and many who grew up without parents or brothers & sisters. Because it's not real to you doesn't mean they didn't live it. This is not some television movie.
OF COURSE there are rational reasons for people to be upset.
Step outside your front door and go learn about real life.

Yes, how dare a museum have a display about history.

So you are saying.... history negates history?

Germany has yet to escape the shadow of the Holocaust and of Hitler. Putting him on display in a museum simply begs for someone to rip his head off or otherwise deface the exhibit. Plus, Germans are constantly reminded of the Holocaust and of the Nazi legacy. I don't see what wax museum really brings to the table besides a life-like image of Hitler. If anything, the context of his presence in the museum (among heroes, athletes, etc) would upset most people I'd think.

For those in this thread who claim or believe that neo-Nazis are now somehow 'dominating' Germany, that simply isn't true. Although radical right-wing groups have had something of a rebirth in the past decade, their growth is not that significant and reflects a growing trend across Europe. Radical right-wing groups are far more popular in countries other than Germany and, really, are only popular within Germany itself because of the presence of the Turks and other immigrants.

Actually he's an Indian who resents the Europeans greatly for what Britain did to India and has been taking shots at Europeans since day one of his membership here.

Once again, you give me an article that 4 years old. Provide me with a recent news link about it from a major news organization.

And they sure as shit ain't "concentration camps" as you have alleged.

That's a fairly recent article. It shows that the Germans wanted concentration camps.

CanOWorms is the most prejudiced person on these boards that I've seen. There's a beam in your eye. I still love you tho sweetie, don't worry. :heart:

It's interesting how the person who criticizes the racism is the racist. Yet the people who vehemently fight against the idea that racism even exists and spout bigoted things are pure.

I guess you are just a little down from Jesse Helms' passing.:laugh:

It doesn't take a doctorate to see you are a Europhobe. Every single time a thread pops up about Europe you chime in with you foaming at the mouth anti European diatribes.

It's not europhobia. European affairs are my interest and many people on this forum are ignorant of European policies and social situation.

Apparently there are lots of Americanphobes, Israeliphobes, etc. then. Some people will criticize the Bush administration's actions. Many criticize Israel. Many criticize Saudi Arabia. I criticize the European actions. It's really no different.

What is important is why you are so vehemently against it.

Unless you are using some insane and hugely broad definition of concentration camp that has no connection to how it is commonly used, what is described in that article is nothing approaching a concentration camp.

Maybe something is wrong with your brain.

uh... free speech? i think this is a bigger issue... if we follow this reasoning we should not have stuff about Vietnam or either world war in museums here, or, heck, we should not have any airplanes either, cuz they may offend someone.

its a privately owned place, not a government owned place.
the guy should be charged.
people should learn about their history, instead of just pushing it away.

Actually there is free speech and there are also numerous places to go in Germany to learn about WWII. No one here is arguing against free speech. I think we all agree that they should have the right to have a statue of Hitler yet most of us would also applaud someone tearing it down.:thumbsup:
