Really? Redneck Day is offensive...to African-Americans...In Arizona?

So you want to stop my free speech? You sound just like the radicals that I oppose.

Regardless of your posts on Muslims, you consistently advocate a position of forcing everyone else to adhere to what Christians want. One example (there's many examples) was your thread on how horrifying it was that Google had a Happy Holidays logo instead of Merry Christmas. And you've done stuff like this regularly. So regardless of your stance on Muslims, you've advocated removing freedom of religion from anyone NOT Christian by forcing Christianity upon them.

Why couldn't google say Merry Christmas? It is one of the biggest holidays of the year and they just snubbed it while praising various leftist causes. I and the article criticized them but I don't want the government to force them though.

I don't know why the Confederate Flag is so immediately offensive to a lot of people. Its not like it has a Swastika on it or anything. People love to ASSume that those who display it are automatically racist. Too many people drank the civil war was all about slavery Kool-aid. Just stupid.

I don't know why the Swastika is so offensive to people. After all it was originally created to represent the Socialist Workers Party of Germany. Jews need to get over it.

You are stupid. Not for finding nothing wrong with the swastika but by believing the germans originated it for any reason.

You mean you got owned so badly within that thread you deleted your post and had to have to restored by a mod?

Have you tried reading your own postings lately?

The original swastika was created many years ago in what is now India, it has a long and well know history of culture and religious in India, China, and other area in Asia. Only after the rising of German Nazi in 1920's, it was used by German Nazi as symbol for Aryan power.

It doesn't have to be lately. Anything throughout his posting history is just as stupid. Or were you assuming he has a magnificently short memory?

I'm fairly certain that fish have better memory than Incorruptible does.

Actually did you ever see the episode of South Park where Jimmy came up with the "gay fish" joke? Throughout that episode Cartman claimed he and Jimmy came up with it together, and then you kept seeing him remember back the day of coming up with the joke. Throughout the episode each time he remembered that day, he had more and more to do with the joke until he was the one who came up with it, and also defeated a dragon.

I think THAT'S how Incorruptible's memory works. No matter how crazy and dickish a thing he says is, each time he looks back on it he sees himself as more and more saintly about it. Incorruptible is basically P&N's Eric Cartman. No one likes him and he thinks of himself as perfect despite being a disgusting human being.

He was incorrect on it's origin, but his point still stands on account of Nazi Germany clearly being the most infamous user of the symbol.

Has anyone ever met a Jewish person who doesn't equate the swastika with Nazis?

You guys keep feeding him like a fish too. Like a big, dumb lazy carp.

 

[SheHateMe]

Incorruptible has consistently backed out of his own threads where people actually reveal the truth he failed to post in his OP.

For example, see his "Stomp on Jesus" thread.

Actually it was created at least 5000 years before Hitler showed up.

The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being."

The Civil War has been for a hundred and fifty or so years ago. Time people get over it. If anyone wants to get into how that can't be, I will remind you that a significant part of my ancestry was wiped out by whites and their slaves and whatever culture and history they had virtually erased. For all practical purposes it was a successful genocide. I deal fine with the history.

I was expecting maybe some white people being offended because of the stereotype involved, and even then I don't think its offensive. But come on crying because someone was wearing a confederate flag bandana?

I am as liberal as they come and even I think its ridiculous, if America, and the African-American society in general want to move past slavery its time we stop associating fashion to it. Next thing you know a southern draw and owning a cotton plantation is going to be considered insensitive and offensive.

You're racist so it makes sense...

You probably don't think you are, but you are. You assumed 1.) Only whites would be mad. 2.) Blacks would never be mad.

That makes you: a racist, like most liberals.

True; that said, while I wouldn't consider a number of swastikas with the, if you will, "non-nazi" design to be nazi-ish, a dude wearing a red armband with a black swastika in a white circle kinda says nazi. Sure, the original swastika was a peaceful design, but that one is not, and I think we all know that.

Also, as has been shown, the southern states were seceding to protect slavery......seriously.

What is the statute of limitations for people being bothered by symbols? As has been pointed out, many Jews are still bothered by the Swastika.

I think the situation described by the OP is a bit of an over-reach because the kids were parodying redneck dress and behavior rather than espousing it. I'm just making a general comment here.

I can't believe you are stupid as to not recognize sarcasm. I won't spell it out for you, look it up.

Since WW2 started almost 75 years ago (count starting w/Poland invasion) is it time for the Jews to "get over it", just asking.

More lies from you. The professor still asked the students to step on the paper. You're an anti-Christian and racist bigot.

 

[raildogg]

It's only offensive if you think it's offensive. So stop thinking it's offensive and it won't be.

That's funny coming from someone who has proved over and over in their posting history to be quite possibly the largest Islamophobe and white supremacist that posts here.

There was a reason why I only highlighted and underlined part of his statements and not whole.

...it was originally created to represent the Socialist Workers Party of Germany...

If you really want to be nitty picky, the two symbols (original and Nazi) are similar but not identical. The original is in a 90 degree flat while the Nazi one is in a 45 degree angle.

<<<--- knows a few things about history, Asia, and its people from the many years spent there, not from reading a few articles online and Wiki.

Interesting. Let's take the Jews who suffered under the Nazis or their immediate family what they thought of it. Then do the same for those who lived during or before the Civil war. Ask both groups if they should get over it. The greatest number of those answering determine the outcome. Just sayin'
