Prince Harry

It could of been worse, he nearly went as one of the SS for fecks sake

[manker]

personally I think it would be better and more dissrespectfull to Hitler to wipe it from history.

Jonno, ever hear someone say that you learn from your mistakes. If people forget about those mistakes then how are they to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Are you feeling quite OK?

[Snee]

Sorry Mr.S I dissagree, I don't see the need to keep reminding people of the past, we all know what happend.

That would be 'cos people are reminded of the past.

[DanB]

I have just read a quote in the paper which I think sums it up perfectly Jonno

You are talking about a war in which millions of people in Europe were killed and terribly injured because of one man - Hitler. And the swastika was the symbol he used for his evil regime

Maybe thats why the outcry?

[DanB]

Sorry Mr.S I dissagree, I don't see the need to keep reminding people of the past, we all know what happend. If thats the case people should all go to a thousand other places where similar things have happend.

Rememberance day is for those who fought for freedom and lost their lives, not a reminder of how bad Hitler was, personally I think it would be better and more dissrespectfull to Hitler to wipe it from history.
There are still people who hate German people due to this, is that right?
No.

New century, why can't we move forward instead of hanging onto the past?

I think I said that, Dan

You don't think it's acceptable but you do think it's hysterical. You now like Harry just because he wore a swastika on his arm. I don't think I'm twisting your words. I'm reacting to your points earlier in the thread. I think you've decided to alter your view about wearing swastikas. Well done.

No, I don't think the act it's self was funny, what I find funny is the rebelious streak, Dianna done it, Fergy done it, things the Royal Family thought were bad and they were outcasted for it.
I like anything that upsets the Royals simply because I don't like them.
That's my right.

I don't make jokes about genocide and I don't think racism is funny.

So you did'nt laugh at Fawlty Towers - The Germans episode?

Also I've not commented on the public outcry to this, I care little of what the reactionaries in our society think, I care more of the feelings experienced by those most closely affected by the nazis.We live in a permissive society, people are allowed to do lots of things that I consider wrong. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean that it is morally right. For fucks sake, think for yourself man.

I am thinking for myself thank you
These are my opinions and I am entitled to them.

I'm not gonna keep repeating myself, nor am I gonna allow you to try to make me out to be a hitler lover, I've stated what I thought was funny, I've made my points, I've put flaws in the system with reguards to what is allowed and what is'nt.

My points in short:

1: His rebelious streak I find comical, same as when he was caught drunk and smoking pot.

2: I don't have any respect for Hitler or his ideals.

3: The public outcry for punishment is pathetic.

4: Had it been any other public figure no one would have cared.

I think I said that, Dan

it was better from the paper being said by an 82 year old man who fought though

Are you feeling quite OK?

So you would like to go to the place where your Grandmother or some other relation was brutally murdered?

You would like to see reinactments on tv?

Personally I would'nt.

4: Had it been any other public figure no one would have cared.

Thats purely hypothetical, I don't think anyone will make the mistake of even attemopting after this.

What public figure you have in mind anyway? I reckon if that was a pic of Tony Blair at a fancy dress party wearing the costume the outcry would have been worse
