| 669562 | 2008-05-17 00:18:00 | If you are referring to Metla's change of avatar, Thomas01 (I think?) has commented in the Video of the month thread, asking Metla to turn the swastika off - it has replaced his usual avatar in all of his posts, not just this thread. | John H (8) | ||
| 669563 | 2008-05-17 01:57:00 | So his point came across... but to the wrong people? | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 669564 | 2008-05-17 03:28:00 | You cant change history, you have to wait a few more generations. You can change history. You will not be able to change the facts but certainly you can change the way a set of facts are reported and/or interpreted. What I know of history is really only what I believe based on Parents,teachers, books, peers, research and other influences. History is what people say it is. Now whom to trust to be accurate? As I was too young to attend WW2 because I was born during it I have to rely on information from others. Also rob_on_guitar, I would suggest rather than using "few" you use the word "many" generations. These things just never go away IMHO. |

| 669565 | 2008-05-17 03:57:00 | Sweet, In honour of the sentiments put forward by Roscoe, Sue and others,I have changed my avatar to a swastika, In order to remove any chance of offending I have named the image file "peace". Anyone offended, Please grow up, Your opinion is meaningless until you get educated, Obviously the killing means nothing. HAIL. I had no problem with your other Avatar but I do now. It might expel excrement on my head so therefore I could feel offended. Not reporting this until a blob of poo comes out of one of my ports on the computer. I do not really believe this will happen but it might! Should I change my motherboard if this occurs? Or should I just report you? Please do not be offended as this is very much tounge in cheek. If you are offended then I will come to your place and stamp on your pink fluffy slippers preferably whilst you are wearing them. You make good points regarding the Swastika for which I thank you. ;) |

| 669566 | 2008-05-17 04:11:00 | I was being sarcastic Sweep! Some of the other people have no .... don't know what the word is.... idea? | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 669567 | 2008-05-17 04:52:00 | Perhaps the one who suggested that "people should grow up" could take that idea to a synagogue, or go into a Holocaust museum (I think there is one in Auckland, and there is definitely one in Sydney) and suggest the museum guides who experienced the Shoah grow up and get over it. That would be a fairly quick route to getting an idea about what it is all about, Rob. There is a really interesting obituary in the Press this am of a gentile Polish nurse/social worker who saved a large number of Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto. The Gestapo beat her and tortured her, and she had the scars till the day she died aged 98. Perhaps she had not grown up. However, this thread proves that there is none so blind than those who refuse to see (or whatever that expression is...). |

| 669568 | 2008-05-17 05:17:00 | Blind. Thats what I was looking for. On ANZAC day we say 'lest we forget', it seems some people have forgotten about the ones who fought for our freedoms. That bugs me too. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||

| 669570 | 2008-05-18 00:49:00 | Originally Posted by GoodHour If the Nazi flag had had the cross on it, would we say the cross is an inherently nazi symbol? Good observation, although I think that you would be treading on many a Roman toe suggesting that. With a good portion of the world professing to be Christian, I think that anyone of note advocating that the cross was a Nazi symbol would possibly be nailed to one! If that were the case, I wonder how many Christians would be brave enough to paint it on their roof? It's not the symbol itself, it's what the symbol represents and is associated to - so the symbol could be anything and it would still mean the same thing. It's funny though when you think how many people were killed in the name of god by the church, and yet it's only the swastika we go nuts about. |
