Can the world get a life?...or are we all doomed to be girlie men and burly girls?

Harry's Great Uncle was a nazi sympethizer(sp?).

[steveo]

The furore over Harry's costume has continued to reverberate in and because of the media around the world,

[XXXXX88XXXXX]

As well as officer cadets dressed as Nazis, others are pictured with their faces blackened and wearing Afro-wigs.

As the old Brit saying goes: In for a penny, in for a pound.

No great surprise here, people. Imagine GWB had a son who was photographed wearing a swastika. You might actually witness a civil war.

The media has its agenda, but sometimes it gets lucky, as in this event.

Geez you'd think Harry killed someone they way this is being carried on.

"Ritchie said that in 2002 guidelines were put in place at Sandhurst to stop such behaviour. 'The policy today is very clear,' said Ritchie. 'These photographs do not reflect the high standards of duty and service instilled in the cadets during their training and subsequently demonstrated in their careers as officers in the British army.' Despite Ritchie's apology, the photo has offended some in the Jewish community. Lord Janner said: 'For future leaders to put on Nazi uniforms even for fun is incongruous, unacceptable and disrespectful to those who lost their lives.'"

I wonder if the stray fleeting hint of a thought has crossed "LJ's" brain that it is perfectly acceptable to "think" it is humorous to portray white male heads of households as bumbling dimwitted buffoons. Just as it is "outrageous, offensive, degrading and shocking" to poke a bit of fun at history in the form of costumes, wigs and black face. The reason for both is the same.

That's right, nothing. No reason whatsoever other than some fake fabricated "shock and outrage" which will sell news papers and provide airtime fodder for blabbermouth talking heads on Tee-Vee and a not-too-subtle left leaning of the mid-stream media to mentally condition the masses in communist based pee-cee.

File under "What were they thinking?". Too bad that file's overflowing already.

Markus Soeder, general secretary of Germany's Christian Socialist Union opposition, said: 'In a Europe grounded in peace and freedom there should be no place for Nazi symbols. They should be banned throughout Europe, as they are with good reason in Germany.'

Herr Soeder added, "we are dedicated to tolerance, diversity, and inclusiveness. We only don't tolerate those people, ideas, and things we dislike." *********************************

If Europe really were grounded in "peace and freedom" there would be no need to ban any symbols; people would just naturally shun them.

Saddly, they don't seem to have the same sense of horror or outrage for red armbands & flags; or for hammers and sickles.

Without even counting Africa, Southeast Asia, or China, anyone have any figures comparing death totals for Communism's various pogroms, purges, and deaths via "reeducation" vs Nazi & Fascist murders, not to include actual combat deaths?

Or is that an unfair question, since Lenin, Stalin, et al had about a 20 year head start on Hitler; and got to continue for about another 40 years?

Should read: The "Fuerer" over.............{;>)

[Natural Law]

Why isn't there a similar cry for banning communist symbols like Che Guevara shirts?

[isthisnickcool]

QUESTION: What's the difference between the German NAZI's and todays Moslems?

ANSWER: About 60 years.

[riri]

Odd. Shouldn't they actually teach their populace about the horrors perpetuated by the Nazi's before they ban the symbols?

[The Great RJ]

The Brits need to face the fact that the royals are a bunch of twits who given half a chance can be expected to make fools of themselves. In this country we have Chelsey Clinton and the Hollywood crowd who fill the same role.
